| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Interviews were conducted with a sample of inpatients above the age of 65, who were categorized into normal-hearing and hearing-loss groups. Using KJ method, the interpretation of the interview findings were deepened to explore the hidden meaning. Discussions were made regarding the nurse-patient communication expected from the hearing-impaired group by comparison with that expected from the normal-hearing group. The clients in the group with a moderate-degree hearing loss expected “sensitive cares from the patients’ perspectives,” indicating the necessity of care provision in accordance with the hearing capability of individual clients. The findings indicated that the moderate-degree hearing loss group (40 dB or above) failed to catch either 5-cm /30-cm finger rubbings or 30-cm finger tapping with a significant difference. Both finger-rub and finger-tap tests were found to be effective as screening tests for the evaluation of the hearing functions of the elderly clients.
