Tóm tắt

Mục tiêu của nghiên cứu này là 1) tổng hợp các chứng cứ hiện có về tác động của suy giảm thính lực đến chất lượng cuộc sống (QOL) của các quân nhân đang phục vụ tại ngũ ở Hoa Kỳ, 2) mô tả các công cụ đánh giá chất lượng cuộc sống đã được sử dụng để định lượng tác động của suy giảm thính lực đến chất lượng cuộc sống, 3) khảo sát các cơ sở dữ liệu quốc gia ở mức độ dân số và báo cáo về tính hữu ích của chúng trong việc nghiên cứu tác động của suy giảm thính lực đến QOL của các quân nhân đang phục vụ, và 4) đưa ra các khuyến nghị cho các nghiên cứu tương lai nhằm xác định tác động của suy giảm thính lực trong quần thể này. Có sự thiếu hụt tài liệu đề cập đến giao thoa giữa khuyết tật thính lực, quần thể quân đội và các biện pháp đánh giá chất lượng cuộc sống. Đối với nghiên cứu thính học, quân nhân Hoa Kỳ cung cấp một quần thể nghiên cứu độc đáo, vì họ tiếp xúc với mức độ tiếng ồn và môi trường chịu áp lực mà rất hiếm gặp trong kỷ lục làm việc dân dụng, và có thể đóng vai trò là quần thể mẫu để nghiên cứu tác động đến QOL liên quan đến những điều kiện này. Nhóm nghiên cứu của chúng tôi khuyến nghị tiến hành một nghiên cứu về quần thể quân nhân đang phục vụ tại ngũ bằng cách sử dụng một công cụ đo lường phù hợp cho việc xác định sự giảm sút chất lượng cuộc sống đặc biệt do suy giảm thính lực.
