Members of the Deaf community report language and cultural barriers to accessing health information and care. This study evaluated whether an ovarian cancer education video in American Sign Language with English captioning and voice-over could close the anticipated knowledge gap between Deaf and hearing women's cancer knowledge. Consented Deaf (n = 55) and hearing (n = 52) women's General, Ovarian, and Total Cancer Knowledge were assessed before and after viewing the video. At baseline, hearing women demonstrated significantly higher General, Ovarian, and Total Cancer Knowledge scores than Deaf women. By the post-test, all of Deaf women's knowledge scores had increased, closing the baseline gap. However, hearing women's post-video knowledge had also increased, thereby creating a new knowledge gap. The ovarian cancer education video offers an effective method to increase ovarian and general cancer knowledge for Deaf and hearing women.
聋人社区成员表示,在获取健康信息和医疗服务方面存在语言和文化障碍。本研究评估了一部带有英文字幕和旁白的美国手语卵巢癌教育视频是否能够缩小聋人与听力正常女性在癌症知识方面预期的差距。在观看视频前后,对同意参与的55名聋人女性和52名听力正常女性的一般癌症知识、卵巢癌知识及总体癌症知识进行了评估。在基线时,听力正常女性的一般癌症知识、卵巢癌知识及总体癌症知识得分显著高于聋人女性。到测试后,所有聋人女性的知识得分都有所提高,缩小了基线差距。然而,听力正常女性观看视频后的知识也有所增加,从而产生了新的知识差距。这部卵巢癌教育视频为增加聋人和听力正常女性的卵巢癌及一般癌症知识提供了一种有效方法。
