A questionnaire has been developed to investigate the psychosocial disadvantages resulting from occupational hearing loss (OHL). It was designed to measure the awareness of the hearing disability, the coping strategies and the family response to the consequences of OHL. Answers to the questionnaire were obtained from 54 workers with various degrees of presumed OHL and from 44 normal-hearing workers employed in the same noisy plant. The results show that the family bears several consequences of the noise exposure and of the hearing loss of the worker and that its spontaneous reaction to OHL appears as one source of the psychosocial disadvantages experienced by the worker. The implications of these results for rehabilitative intervention are discussed.
已编制了一份问卷,以调查职业性听力损失(OHL)导致的心理社会不利因素。该问卷旨在衡量对听力残疾的认知、应对策略以及家庭对职业性听力损失后果的反应。问卷的答案来自54名患有不同程度推定职业性听力损失的工人,以及在同一嘈杂工厂工作的44名听力正常的工人。结果表明,家庭承担了工人接触噪音和听力损失的若干后果,并且家庭对职业性听力损失的自发反应似乎是工人经历的心理社会不利因素的一个来源。讨论了这些结果对康复干预的影响。
