Idania RodrÃguez Ayuso, a health specialist at the Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics (IEPR), told the health commission of the Puerto Rico Senate on January 22, 2022, that the lack of more epidemiological studies that reveal new data on how this part of the population lives is due to its cost.

The specialist noted that it is necessary to make a single record of the deaf and hard of hearing population

According to Jose Bertrán, when asked by the Senators, there is a lack of sign language interpreters for medical services on the island, despite the fact that the law requires hospitals and all agencies that receive federal funds to do so.
Dr. Miguel Irizzary, when asked about the topic, Include in university academic training, basic knowledge about
communication skills with patients with sensory disabilities. This is
the first step to follow to reduce the difficulties presented by people with
disabilities.
The training should include knowledge about the traits
characteristics of the people who suffer from each disability, emphasizing the
forms of relationship and communication focusing on the professional future.
It could also include practical courses on communication skills and other
Topics such as sign language, nonverbal communication, lip-facial reading, etc. inside
of the catalog of courses offered to nurses during their professional career. The insecurity that a patient with a sensory disability feels when he must
going to a health service is evident due to all the difficulties they encounter and
Nursing has a fundamental role in providing security and understanding to
these patients, for this the nurse will have a series of tools that she must
used to achieve adequate therapeutic communication. therapeutic communication
is defined as “relationship-specific communication in which one person
plays the role of helping anotherâ€, by Clara Valverde Gefaelle (27) and to achieve it
must be met:
– Listen actively and reflectively to the patient.
– Focus attention on the patient and use observation.
– Do not generalize, no two patients are the same.
– Empathetic attitude: it consists of the ability to correctly understand what
experiences the patient and communicate this understanding in a language
accommodated to her feelings and understanding.
-Respect: call him by his name, do not trivialize, do not refer to him because of his disability
or because of his pathology…
-Do not judge: accept the patient as he is.
– Allow free expression.
-Give confidence and reinforce his self-esteem.
If these premises are met, the patient will feel safe, since communication
done would be effective. For this reason, it must be ensured that the sensory disability of the
patient does not prevent the nurse from achieving the same relationship with him as with other
people, if so, the purpose of adequate communication will have been fulfilled.
Today, where the need to have the ability to manage the internet is palpable,
social networks, other languages ​​or languages… for a better and greater communication with the
world, is forgotten, in many cases, or in a discreet background, the
communication with those who have some type of sensory disability.
Other languages ​​are studied, but not sign language. characters are used
specific in sending messages online, but braille is unknown. And in this circle
the nurse is also immersed.
Within the nursing care plans, she is established as one of the
needs to cover communication, and when this is carried out with people with
sensory disability, the difficulty that this supposes is notorious, being evident
lack of resources in this regard.
The health system itself would get a fail in terms of available resources
to achieve accessible communication with the blind and deaf: from installations with
lack of accessibility, without adapted audiovisual resources, lack of
help provided by other institutions… So it should be noted that their performance
should not only manifest itself in the design of its facilities or in the use of
different resources provided by other institutions or associations, but also in the
ability to promote the training of their professions in the face of sensory disability and
achieve a maximum degree of independence for the users who submit it.
The training offered to health professionals, in this case, nurses and
nurses, both from university studies, and later in training
offered, is deficient. Therefore, the contribution of
basic knowledge, skills and abilities to facilitate relationships and communication
between nurses and people with visual and/or hearing impairment.
