Introdução: A literatura evidencia que a qualidade de vida é dificultada pelo deficit auditivo, cada vez mais presente na população de uma forma geral. Para ultrapassar este deficit comunicacional é importante passar pelo processo de reabilitação auditiva. Objetivos: Neste contexto, foram estabelecidos como objetivos deste estudo identificar os métodos de avaliação da qualidade de vida, mais utilizados, em indivíduos que possuem perda auditiva e analisar as evidências que identificam a reabilitação auditiva como um contributo essencial na melhoria da qualidade de vida em pacientes com deficit auditivo. Método: Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática da literatura de artigos originais e com os termos “Quality of life” em título e “Hearing loss” em qualquer parte do texto. Foram selecionados 141 artigos, dos quais 54 fizeram parte da revisão sistemática.
Conclusões: A análise dos artigos permitiu-nos atingir os objetivos propostos. Os artigos analisados comprovam uma relevante melhoria da qualidade de vida em diversos âmbitos pela aplicação dos instrumentos selecionados. As escalas mais utilizadas nos artigos foram a Glasgow Benefic Inventory (GBI) a, 36 Iten Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), a Nijmegen Cochlear Implant Questionnaire (NCIQ), a World Health Organization Quality of Life - Breef (WHOQOL- breve) e a Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI). Conclui-se que a reabilitação auditiva (com aparelhos auditivos ou implantes) é um aspeto relevante na melhoria da qualidade de vida em indivíduos com perda auditiva.
ABSTRACT - Introduction: The literature shows that quality of life is hampered by the auditory deficit, which is increasingly present in the general population. To overcome this communication deficit it is important to go through the process of auditory rehabilitation. Objectives: In this context, the objectives of this study were to identify the most commonly used methods of assessing the quality of life in individuals with hearing loss and to analyze the evidence that identifies hearing rehabilitation as an essential contribution to improving quality of life in patients with an auditory deficit. Method: A systematic review of the literature of original articles and the terms "Quality of life" in the title and "Hearing loss" in any part of the text was carried out. A total of 141 articles were selected, of which 54 were part of the systematic review. Conclusions: The analysis of the articles allowed us to reach the proposed objectives. The analyzed articles show a significant improvement in the quality of life in several settings through the application of the selected instruments. The most used scales in the articles were the Glasgow Benefic Inventory (GBI), 36 Iten Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), the Nijmegen Cochlear Implant Questionnaire (NCIQ), the World Health Organization Quality of Life - Brief (WHOQOL – Brief)) and the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI). It is concluded that auditory rehabilitation (with hearing aids or implants) is a relevant aspect of improving the quality of life in individuals with hearing loss.
