Abstract

This paper reports upon an evaluation of a school-based screening program aimed at detecting psychological problems1 in 495 deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) students. The first aim of the study was to evaluate the actual implementation of this program. Furthermore, the prevalence of internalizing and externalizing problems in a subset of 277 DHH students was analysed and subsequently how these problems vary as a function of age, gender, context, and negative life circumstances (NLCs). The results show higher prevalence rates of psychological problems compared to typical hearing peers, but lower than in previous studies. More problems were observed in the context of school than at home. No age or gender differences were found, but significantly more internalizing problems in DHH adolescents than externalizing problems. Prevalence of psychological problems among DHH students without NLCs were significantly lower than among students with one or more NLCs. The results shows a screening program to identify psychological problems in special schools can be successfully implemented. Such programs will help to identify psychological problems at an early stage and provide care for DHH children and adolescents with psychological problems.

失聪及听障学生心理问题的筛选。

本文报告了一项以学校为基础的筛查项目的评估，该项目旨在检测495名失聪和听力障碍（DHH）学生的心理问题。本研究的第一个目的是评估该计划的实际执行情况。此外，对277名DHH学生的内化和外化问题的流行程度进行了分析，并随后分析了这些问题如何随着年龄、性别、环境和消极生活环境（nlc）的变化而变化。结果显示，与正常听力的同龄人相比，心理问题的患病率更高，但低于之前的研究。在学校比在家里观察到更多的问题。没有发现年龄或性别差异，但DHH青少年的内化问题明显多于外化问题。无NLCs的DHH学生的心理问题患病率显著低于有一个或多个NLCs的学生。结果表明，在特殊学校进行心理问题筛查是可以成功实施的。这些项目将有助于在早期阶段识别心理问题，并为有心理问题的儿童和青少年提供护理。
