Title | Deaf women's experiences of maternity in primary care: an integrative review |
Authors | Luton, M., Allan, H. and Kaur, H. |
Abstract | Background: An estimated 24,000 people in the UK report using British Sign Language (BSL) as their first language. Misconceptions about deaf culture and language mean that deaf people have less access to health information and their health literacy is lower. Deaf people's health needs go under the radar in primary care with ensuing poorer health outcomes. Deaf women's experiences of maternity care are poorly understood. |
