摘要

背景:口罩和/或盾牌的使用可能在交流过程中构成挑战。它们阻碍了面部表情,从而消除了视觉线索,并影响了声音的传递,使人难以清晰地听到讲话。考虑到面部覆盖物的广泛使用,弄清楚典型的说话者和听者的交流是否有显著差异似乎是合理的。健康科学专业的学生作为未来的从业人员需要了解使用面罩所带来的挑战。目的:本研究旨在了解健康科学专业学生对蒙面影响的认知。方法:采用描述性、自填式在线调查,对96名健康科学本科学生进行问卷调查。结果:所有的参与者都改变了他们说话的方式,当他们戴着口罩时,他们说话的声音更大,当有人戴着口罩时,他们更关注眼神交流。这些差异具有统计学意义(p = 0.450和p = 0.035)。53%的受访者表示,他们在沟通时花了更多的精力倾听,并感到焦虑。大约33%的人表示,当人们戴着面具时,很难读懂他们的情绪,比如悲伤或不开心。大多数人(61%)对戴口罩持积极或非常积极的态度。难度程度因听力环境的不同而不同。当医生、护士或其他医护人员戴口罩时,听他们说话比听他们的朋友和家人说话更难,后者几乎没有影响,这有统计学意义(p = 0.025)。结论:实践中设想的挑战包括频繁的沟通中断,无法在病人和医生之间建立联系和信任,以及在嘈杂的环境中沟通。提出了应对策略,未来的临床和研究意义,并承认了局限性。

Health sciences students' perception of the communicative impacts of face coverings during the COVID-19 pandemic at a South African University.

Health sciences students' perception of the communicative impacts of face coverings during the COVID-19 pandemic at a South African University.

Health sciences students' perception of the communicative impacts of face coverings during the COVID-19 pandemic at a South African University.

Health sciences students' perception of the communicative impacts of face coverings during the COVID-19 pandemic at a South African University.

Background:  The use of face masks and/or shields can pose a challenge during communication. They block facial expressions thus removing visual cues and affect sound transmission making it difficult to hear speech clearly. Given the widespread use of face coverings, it seems reasonable to clarify if communication in typical speakers and listeners has significantly differed. Health science students as future practitioners need to understand challenges that arise from using face coverings.

Objective:  This study aimed to determine health sciences students' perception of the communicative impacts of face coverings.

Method:  The study employed a descriptive, self-administered online survey, obtaining information from 96 health science undergraduate students.

Results:  All participants changed their manner of speaking in that they spoke louder when wearing masks and focused more on eye contact when someone was wearing masks. These were statistically significant (p = 0.450 and p = 0.035 respectively). Fifty-three percent reported using more listening effort and feeling anxious when communicating. Approximately 33% indicated that it was challenging to read emotions, such as sad or unhappy, when someone wore a mask. Most, 61%, were positive or very positive about wearing masks. The level of difficulty differed depending on the listening environment. It was harder to understand the doctor, nurse, or other healthcare workers when they wore face coverings than when listening to their friends and family, which had little effect, this being statistically significant (p = 0.025).

Conclusion:  Challenges envisaged in practice included frequent communication breakdowns, inability to connect and build trust between patient and practitioner, and communicating in noisy environments. Coping strategies, future clinical and research implications were proposed, and limitations acknowledged.
