The authors used the hermeneutics approach within social cognitive career theory to explore employment trends and issues over the past 20 years relevant to Hispanic women who are deaf. Barriers to employment were discovered including discrepancies due to gender, race/ethnicity, and severity of hearing loss. Recommendations for policymakers and professionals suggest a need for research that addresses the unique experiences of Hispanic women who are deaf within vocational rehabilitation, the use of social cognitive career theory as it relates to career development and choices, and an increase in education and training to better prepare vocational rehabilitation counselors to work with individuals from multiple minority backgrounds. While information about Hispanic women who are deaf is limited, this review provides a better understanding of Hispanic deaf women and encourages expansion of knowledge in practice and research for professionals working with this unique population.
作者运用社会认知职业理论中的诠释学方法，探讨了过去20年里与失聪的西班牙裔女性相关的就业趋势和问题。研究发现了就业障碍，包括因性别、种族/族裔和听力损失严重程度而产生的差异。针对政策制定者和专业人士的建议表明，需要开展研究，以解决失聪的西班牙裔女性在职业康复中的独特经历、社会认知职业理论在职业发展和选择方面的应用，以及增加教育和培训，以便更好地让职业康复顾问为与来自多个少数族裔背景的人合作做好准备。虽然关于失聪的西班牙裔女性的信息有限，但本综述有助于更好地了解西班牙裔失聪女性，并鼓励从事这一特殊人群工作的专业人士在实践和研究中拓展知识。
