ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze the profile of publications on methods and instruments used to screen older adults hearing. Methods: the scientific production on older adults hearing screening methods, searching for articles published between 2016 and 2022. Data were collected from PubMed, Scopus, LILACS, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases and the articles were categorized according to their year, study type, authors, and screening instrument. Data were also analyzed to suggest potential aspects to be addressed in future research in the area. Literature Review: altogether, 26 articles were found based on the eligibility criteria. Publications peaked in 2016, followed by 2020. Articles published in the United States predominated (18%), and HHIE-S (hearing handicap inventory for the elderly screening version) was the most used instrument; 90% of the publications were in English, and the most recurrent study type was cross-sectional, followed by instrument validation studies. Conclusion: the review points out the scarcity of scientific production on older adults hearing screening in both national and international research. The studies approached different populations, screening methods, hearing loss definitions, health systems, and public policies in the countries where they were conducted. Better methodologies must be implemented for future research in the area.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze the test results of speech perception and spoken language in children with hearing loss and auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder, users of hearing aids or cochlear implants. Methods: a systematic review of the literature based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Consultation was performed in databases, considering studies from 1996 to 2021, selecting the studies that presented the results of speech perception or spoken language in children with bilateral auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder, with no structural alterations of the ear and/or vestibulocochlear nerve, or other associated impairments. Descriptive analysis was performed. Literature Review: among 1,422 studies found, 15 were included. Variability in the sample size, types of studies, evaluation procedures and methodological questions were observed. The cochlear implants and hearing aids contributed to the development of speech perception and spoken language in children with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder, since skills such as auditory comprehension and speech intelligibility, were achieved. Conclusion: 15 studies suggest that cochlear implants and hearing aids may be effective for speech perception and spoken language development in children with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder, with no other associated impairments. The need for further research with a high methodological rigor is highlighted.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze the linguistic development of extremely premature children at birth, through the Initial Speech and Language Acquisition Scale, and to verify the knowledge of these children's parents about language. Methods: the study included 21 parents of extremely premature children at birth. A booklet on the development of children's language and a questionnaire was prepared for the study, in order to investigate the efficiency of guidance to parents. Initially, the children were assessed using the Initial Speech and Language Acquisition Scale, and then, the parents received oral guidance on how to stimulate their children's language. Therefore, the questionnaire was applied to verify the impact of the guidelines on their knowledge. The data obtained through the scale were related to the answers obtained through the questionnaire applied to the parents, through descriptive percentages and Mann-Whitney test, with p<0.05. Results: most of the children performed as expected for their age in the evaluated aspects. The questionnaire showed that most parents had guidance on the general development of their children, but only half of them had knowledge about language. All participants felt contemplated with the educational material. Conclusion: despite the extreme prematurity, most children performed as expected for their age in terms of language, and parents had moderate knowledge on language.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to compare the use of the Frequency Modulation (FM) System by children and adolescents in a public hearing health center in the state of São Paulo. Methods: the analysis of medical records based on eligibility criteria. Data were collected from 340 participants born between 1998 and 2011, fitted with FM System, and who attended the follow-up appointment after fitting the device. Data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially. Results: hard-of-hearing children and adolescents of both genders from all over Brazil, attending elementary, middle or high school in public or private schools, participated. The data showed that 115 children and 155 adolescents effectively used the device, especially at school. The main difficulty for children was the lack of support from teachers; for adolescents, it was the feeling of embarrassment. Conclusion: some difficulties, especially on children, in adhering to the use of FM Systems were identified. Hence, to ensure the FM System's effective use, the importance of providing guidance and awareness of its benefits to patients, and their family members and teachers, during the fitting appointment and follow-up consultations, is emphasized.

ABSTRACT Purposes: to characterize the family and school contexts of children enrolled in nursery schools, preschools, or kindergartens in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, and verify the effects of deprivation of school physical space on their development, in the perception of families regarding cognitive-linguistic, socioemotional, and motor aspects. Methods: the sample comprised 139 families of children aged 1 year to 5 years and 11 months, living in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, who answered an online questionnaire on the characterization of the family and school contexts and the impacts on cognitive-linguistic, socioemotional, and motor aspects. The study used the chi-square, Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney statistical tests, with the significance set at p-values ≤ 5%. Results: older children were associated with being transferred to other schools (p = 0.0192) and greater socioemotional impairment (p = 0.0011). Smaller children felt fewer positive effects on the cognitive-linguistic aspect (p = 0.0137). The absence from the school environment and the overall effects of the pandemic negatively influenced them (p = 0.0404; p = 0.0134). Conclusion: the mean age of the parents/guardians was 36 years, with a Bachelor’s degree, and working from home. The children enrolled in public or private schools had online activities. All children were exposed to screens, most of them for 4 or more hours per day. The socioemotional aspect was the most impaired one, followed by the cognitive-linguistic aspect. The negative effects outweighed the positive ones.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to describe feeding characteristics of children with microcephaly, encompassing the feeding route, food consistencies, and utensils used to feed them. Methods: a descriptive study approved by the Research Ethics Committee, including 34 caregivers of children diagnosed with microcephaly. They answered a structured interview on the children’s feeding route, breastfeeding, utensils used to feed them, and the food consistencies, besides sociodemographic and overall development data. Descriptive statistical analyses were performed, presenting absolute and percentage frequencies and measures of central tendency and dispersion. Results: the 34 caregivers in the sample were responsible for 34 children born between 2015 and 2018, diagnosed with microcephaly, due to various causes. Of these, 33 (97.02%) were on oral feeding in their first year of life - 26 (76.44%) on breastfeeding, nine of which (26.46%) exclusively so until 6 months old. The children were served food in baby bottles, cups, spoons, and syringes. Pureed food was the consistency most accepted by the children. Conclusions: there was a low prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding until they were 6 months old, delayed progress of consistencies, use of utensils inadequate to their age, and necessary adaptations to feed children, orally.

ABSTRACT This paper aimed to investigate the contribution of speech-language-hearing teletherapy to the development of communication skills in children with autism spectrum disorders during the coronavirus-19 pandemic. This qualitative, interventive, longitudinal case series study analyzed data from the medical records of patients, based on instructions given to their families via speech-language-hearing teletherapy during social isolation. It was part of a public outreach program conducted in a speech-language-hearing teaching clinic, aiming to analyze results in the field of language. All children progressed in various aspects, such as the development of communication skills, expanded vocabulary, increased naming and asking, morphosyntactic development, and advancements in the use of augmentative and alternative communication. Also, shared attention and eye contact increased, the interaction with the family improved, and inadequate behaviors decreased; there was greater autonomy in daily routine and greater attention during activities; increased interest in toys during play and longer and more frequent playing, associated with decreased screen time. In conclusion, the results demonstrated progress in communication and social interaction after the speech-language-hearing teletherapy for children presented with autism spectrum disorders during the coronavirus-19 pandemic.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze the impact of neck pain, neck mobility, and body mass index on teachers’ postural control. Methods: a cross-sectional study with 54 state public school teachers, 68.5% (n = 37) being females, with a mean age of 46.5 ± 9.3 years. Data were collected with the following instruments: Craniocervical Dysfunction Index (Brazilian version), force platform in bipedal and semi-tandem stance, visual analog scale, cervical mobility index, and body mass index. Data were analyzed with nonparametric statistics and multiple linear regression; the significance level was set at p<0.05, with 95% confidence intervals. Results: teachers with neck pain and severely impaired neck mobility had greater postural control changes in the semi-tandem stance. In the bipedal stance, those with mild mobility changes and neck pain had a smaller total displacement. Obese teachers had a smaller movement amplitude in the anteroposterior and mediolateral directions. Conclusion: teachers presented with neck pain and severely impaired neck mobility had a worse postural control. Obese teachers had a smaller total amplitude in both movement directions.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to implement and assess hearing health interventions for school students, using Dangerous Decibels® Program activities in partnership with the Young Doctor Project, approaching noise-induced hearing loss prevention. Methods: the study encompassed 41 students, aged 12 to 14 years, from two schools in inland São Paulo and a social institution for public school students. Activities were based on the Young Doctor Project and the Dangerous Decibels® Brazil Program. The students answered a questionnaire administered in three situations: before the intervention (pre), right after the intervention (post), and 4 months after the intervention. The ANOVA, Friedman (p < 0.001), and Tukey´s (p < 0.05) statistical tests were used. Results: the 41 students who participated in the program were protagonists of knowledge, spreading the content they learned to another 954 students in the three schools through cultural workshops. The analysis of program effectiveness revealed improved results right after the intervention and 4 months afterward. Conclusion: combining these two programs encouraged the protagonism of young people to increase their involvement with the community. Moreover, the students changed their attitude toward potentially dangerous sounds.

Methods: the study encompassed 41 students, aged 12 to 14 years, from two schools in inland São Paulo and a social institution for public school students. Activities were based on the Young Doctor Project and the Dangerous Decibels® Brazil Program. The students answered a questionnaire administered in three situations: before the intervention (pre), right after the intervention (post), and 4 months after the intervention. The ANOVA, Friedman (p < 0.001), and Tukey´s (p < 0.05) statistical tests were used. Results: the 41 students who participated in the program were protagonists of knowledge, spreading the content they learned to another 954 students in the three schools through cultural workshops. The analysis of program effectiveness revealed improved results right after the intervention and 4 months afterward. Conclusion: combining these two programs encouraged the protagonism of young people to increase their involvement with the community. Moreover, the students changed their attitude toward potentially dangerous sounds.","PeriodicalId":53238,"journal":{"name":"Revista CEFAC","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67178258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT This study aimed to characterize clinical-neurological factors and the functional swallowing capacity of patients with malignant infarction submitted to decompressive craniectomy during the hospital stay. This retrospective, descriptive, observational study was conducted between January 2020 and December 2021. The following data regarding up to eight stages were extracted for descriptive analysis: age, location of the lesion, level of awareness according to the Glasgow Coma Scale, neurological impairment according to the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, and the functional swallowing capacity according to the Functional Oral Intake Scale. Data on five patients were collected, with a mean of 0.2 days for the first neurological assessment. Decompressive craniectomy was performed in a mean of 2 days after admission. The speech-language-hearing assessment occurred in a mean of 8.2 days, and the speech-language-hearing discharge took a mean of 35.4 days. The neurological impairment score remained the same as in the first neurological assessment after decompressive craniectomy, with a mean score of 16.6. The functional swallowing capacity was the same in the first assessment after decompressive craniectomy, on FOIS level 1, improving considerably by the discharge, with a mean level of 4.8. It is concluded that clinical-neurological factors can interfere with the functional swallowing capacity, although they did not hinder either speech-language-hearing treatment or their evolution to a full oral diet during the hospital stay.
