摘要

摘要本研究对南非三个省206名聋哑/重听人群（男性，n=119；女性，n=87）的样本中有关新冠肺炎的信息寻求行为、模式和态度进行了揭示。研究人员设计了一个谷歌表格，用于为期七周的数据收集。使用描述性和推断统计学对生成的数据进行了分析。受访者的平均年龄为±52.5岁，调查结果显示，受访者对新冠肺炎预防措施、可能的疫苗和旅行建议最感兴趣。他们探索了互联网、社交网站和电视上提供的新冠肺炎相关信息。新冠肺炎相关信息的来源和所寻求的新冠肺炎相关信息的类型决定了南非聋人/重听人对这种病毒的态度。根据调查结果提出了建议。

The Deaf or Hard of Hearing Population’s Attitude and Information Seeking Behaviour Towards COVID-19 in South Africa

ABSTRACT This study presents an exposé of the information seeking behaviours and patterns and attitudes regarding COVID-19 among a sample of 206 people from the deaf/hard of hearing population (males, n = 119; females, n = 87) in three South African provinces. The researchers designed a Google Form, which was used for the data collection, which took place over seven weeks. The data generated were analysed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The average age of the respondents was ±52.5 years, and the findings revealed that the respondents were most curious about preventive measures against COVID-19, possible vaccines and travel advisories. They explored information provided on the Internet, social networking sites and television for COVID-19 related information. The sources of the COVID-19 related information and the type of the COVID-19 related information sought determined the attitudes of the South African deaf/hard of hearing towards this virus. Recommendations were made based on the findings.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Human Ecology publishes empirical and theoretical research, short notes and brief communications probing the interface between human beings and their environment. The journal also has a section dedicated to reviews. The contributions combine ideas and methods from several disciplines, including, but not confined to, physical anthropology, health awareness, sustainability and development, sociology, forestry, psychology and agriculture. The journal also accepts research that focuses on the well-being of those with physical or mental challenges, the importance of food safety, measures taken to improve public health, and the sociological aspect of human ecology.
