Abstract

Deafblindness refers to a functional restriction of both hearing and vision, and presents at all ages. Determining prevalence of deafblindness, particularly in children, is challenging. The aim of this review was to explore and assess methodologies previously used to determine the prevalence of childhood deafblindness in both peer-reviewed and grey literature. Five databases were included in the search – Medline (OVID), PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, and PsycINFO. Thirteen peer-reviewed articles and 11 documents from the grey literature met inclusion criteria for the review. In exploring the literature on deafblindness in children, it is evident that the characteristics and needs of this population are not well described. Approaches adopted by researchers show inconsistencies in how deafblindness is defined, assessed and diagnosed, making comparison challenging. To understand the needs of this group, it is critical that the childhood deafblind population is accurately described. Recommendations are made for the assessment of the population of children with deafblindness.

探索确定儿童聋盲患病率的方法:范围审查
聋盲是指听力和视力都受到功能性限制,各个年龄段都会出现。确定聋盲的患病率,尤其是儿童的患病率,是一项具有挑战性的工作。本综述旨在探讨和评估以往用于确定儿童聋盲患病率的同行评审和灰色文献方法。检索包括五个数据库:Medline (OVID)、PubMed、Scopus、CINAHL 和 PsycINFO。有 13 篇同行评议文章和 11 篇灰色文献符合审查的纳入标准。在对有关儿童聋盲的文献进行探讨时,我们发现对这一人群的特征和需求并没有进行很好的描述。研究人员所采用的方法在聋盲的定义、评估和诊断方面存在不一致的情况,这使得比较具有挑战性。要了解这一群体的需求,准确描述儿童视听障人群至关重要。本文就聋盲儿童群体的评估提出了建议。
