To compile the current research on interventions for rehabilitation aimed at adults (aged 18-65 years) with deafblindness.
A comprehensive search was conducted in eight databases. An additional manual search was also carried out. A total of 7049 unique references were initially identified, and after screening, 28 original scientific articles were included. The results from these articles were categorized based on limiting consequences of deafblindness: communication, orientation and to move around freely and safely and access to information, as well as to psychological adaptation to deafblindness.
Fourteen of the included articles had their main focus on access to communication, ten on orientation and the ability to move around feely and safely, three on the opportunity to gain access to information, and one related to psychological adaptation to deafblindness. Most articles focused on technical devices, of which one-third were single case studies.
There is a limited number of evaluated interventions for people with deafblindness. Most of the existing studies involved one to five participants with deafblindness, and only few studies involved a larger number of participants. More research with a larger number of participants are needed, which could be facilitated by international cooperation between practitioners and researchers.
编译针对成年失聪失明患者（18-65 岁）的康复干预措施的现有研究。
在八个数据库中进行了全面检索。还进行了额外的手动搜索。最初确定了 7049 个独特的参考资料，经过筛选，纳入了 28 篇原始科学文章。根据失聪失明的限制后果对这些文章的结果进行了分类：沟通、定向和自由安全移动以及获取信息，以及对失聪失明的心理适应。
纳入的 14 篇文章主要关注沟通的机会，10 篇文章关注定向和自由安全移动的能力，3 篇文章关注获取信息的机会，1 篇文章关注对失聪失明的心理适应。大多数文章都集中在技术设备上，其中三分之一是单一案例研究。
针对失聪失明患者的评估干预措施数量有限。大多数现有研究涉及一到五名失聪失明参与者，只有少数研究涉及更多参与者。需要更多有更多参与者的研究，这可以通过从业者和研究人员之间的国际合作来促进。
