Both international and Australian research has identified low English literacy levels within the Deaf Community and poor English literacy as the primary barriers to accessing preventive health information.…”

Background and Aims: The Australian Deaf Community face barriers that impede their access to, and communication within, primary health care settings. This study aimed to identify barriers and facilitators to access and communication for deaf individuals and Auslan interpreters in Australian general practice settings.Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight Auslan interpreters and four deaf participants recruited from interpreter organisations and social media. Transcripts of interviews were coded inductively and deductively based on a model of access to health care. Results: Patient, provider and contextual factors were reported. Patient barriers included English and Auslan fluency levels within the Australian Deaf Community. GP clinics varied in the degree of accommodation to the needs of deaf people. There were barriers related to the communication methods used by health care providers and their use of interpreters. Visual aids and flexibility in terms of the GP clinics' appointment systems facilitated access. Contextual barriers included the shortage of Auslan interpreters and the complexity of the National Disability Insurance Scheme. Conclusion: The main barriers identified concerned the availability of interpreters, accommodation by health providers, cultural sensitivity and the adequacy of communication methods. Research is needed to explore the limitations of the National Disability Insurance Scheme and interventions to improve GPs' skills in communicating with Deaf individuals. Patient or Public Contribution: A researcher with a hearing impairment and experience in working with people with hearing impairments was consulted on study design and interview questions. Recruitment was assisted by Auslan interpreter agencies and a Deaf Community Facebook group.

Construction of a video about condom use for deaf and hearing people

et al. 2021

Objective: to build assistive technology, in video format, for deaf and hearing people about sexual health and condom use. Methods: methodological study consisting of the stages of pre-production, production and post-production. In pre-production we built the script, storyboard and scenes, following the principles of Lev Semenovich Vygotsky’s Theory of Learning. In production there was the development of the animation and recording of the scenes by the Libras interpreter. In post-production the final editing of the video took place. Results: the video “Condom: learn to use correctly”,lasting nine minutes and 25 seconds discusses the sexual and reproductive system of man and woman; mode of action, benefits and care with the use of condoms.Given the scarcity of educational materials on the subject, accessibility resources were used to build a video for deaf and hearing people. Conclusion: the construction of the video as an assistive technology directed to the deaf was successfully accomplished.

“…La comunicación juega un papel primordial en la vida diaria de los seres humanos. Las personas con discapacidad auditiva tienen dificultad a la hora de conseguir empleo [1] y acceder a servicios básicos, por ejemplo la educación y la salud [2], [3]. Es imperioso desarrollar e implementar soluciones que ayuden a mejorar la comunicación de estas personas; sin embargo, muchas de las soluciones encontradas en la literatura no se pueden llevar a una implementación real porque carecen de usabilidad.…”

Técnicas de detección de la frecuencia fundamental de la voz en entornos reales

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introducción: este artículo de revisión se desarrolló como parte de un trabajo de maestría de la Universidad del Cauca en el 2017. Buscó encontrar los métodos de detección de la frecuencia fundamental de la voz más propicios para implementar en entornos reales como parte de una solución para mejorar la comunicación de las personas con discapacidad auditiva e incluirlas en la sociedad, ya que la mayoría de las propuestas solo plantean mejorar el canal de comunicación en el que la persona con discapacidad auditiva es el transmisor. Metodología: se realizó una revisión actualizada de la literatura, por lo que se basó principalmente en artículos científicos publicados en los últimos cinco años. Para la inclusión de artículos se hizo un mapeo sistemático sobre los diferentes métodos de detección de la frecuencia fundamental de la voz. Resultados: los fenómenos contemplados por los diferentes algoritmos para definir el entorno van desde el ruido y la interferencia hasta la reverberación; el desempeño del algoritmo depende de la calidad del audio grabado, lo que se ve en las variaciones obtenidas que dependen de la base de datos utilizada; se pueden detectar hasta dos frecuencias fundamentales diferentes. Conclusiones: se han implementado novedosos métodos para hacer más eficiente la detección de la frecuencia fundamental de la voz; sin embargo, aún queda mucho trabajo por hacer en esta área.
