Summary

Literature suggests that profound hearing-impaired people have poor access to health care directly related to communication difficulties. A lack of knowledge regarding health and healthy dietary patterns has been documented. Several associations between chronic diseases such as obesity, CVD, hyperlipidemia etc., and hearing impairments have been established. There is a gap in the literature for studies that use Saudi-sign language-tailored programs in patient health and nutrition education.

This project aims to create a Saudi-sign language general nutritional education program and then test its effectiveness in enhancing the nutritional status and knowledge of Saudis with profound hearing impairments.

Conditions

  • Profound Hearing Impairment
  • Nutrition, Healthy

Interventions

DEVICE

Tailored nutritional education program utilizing Saudi-sign language supplied by Saudi-sign language interpreter

The program will be implemented in an experimental group composed of profoundly impaired hearing adults (91 Decibels and above). The experimental group will receive nutrition group counselling via photos, and models, and Saudi-sign language interpreter, including awareness of food groups and their nutrients, choose healthy and balanced items from supermarkets, restaurants or coffee shop menus-traffic lights on nutrition labelling and health problems or diseases related to diet and weight management
