Non-verbal communication is important when caring for deaf patients, fostering excellence in health care.
an analysis of the legal and sociocultural aspects of the relation between deaf patients and physicians.
Computerized databases for the period between 1996 and 2006 were used for collecting data; the keywords 'patient', 'deaf person', 'communication' and 'health' were used. A non-systematic search was made in scientific publications.
These studies were grouped into two categories: communication between deaf patients and physicians, who has to deal with communication barriers when caring for deaf patients, and the importance of non-verbal communication in healthcare. Deaf persons, their language, and their relation with physicians show the importance of sign language, endorsed by the Federal Law 10.436/02.
When deaf patients and physicians meet, they need to overcome communication barriers that may hinder the necessary bond in healthcare and the care that is provided; this may also affect the diagnosis and treatment. It is clear that public institutions should create programs for training healthcare professionals in the appropriate care of deaf patients.
在照顾聋人患者时，非言语交流很重要，这有助于提升医疗保健水平。
分析聋人患者与医生之间关系的法律和社会文化方面。
使用计算机数据库收集 1996 年至 2006 年期间的数据，关键词为“患者”、“聋人”、“沟通”和“健康”。在科学出版物中进行非系统性搜索。
这些研究分为两类：聋人患者与医生之间的沟通，医生在照顾聋人患者时必须应对沟通障碍，以及非言语交流在医疗保健中的重要性。聋人、他们的语言以及他们与医生的关系表明了手语的重要性，这得到了第 10.436/02 联邦法律的认可。
当聋人患者和医生相遇时，他们需要克服沟通障碍，这些障碍可能会阻碍医疗保健和提供的护理中必要的联系；这也可能影响诊断和治疗。显然，公共机构应该为医疗保健专业人员制定培训计划，以适当照顾聋人患者。
