PURPOSE: This study investigated the predictors of rehabilitation intervention decisions in middle-aged and older adults with acquired hearing impairment seeking help for the first time. METHOD: Using shared decision making, 139 participants were offered intervention options: hearing aids, communication programs (group or individual), and no intervention. Multivariate analysis (logistic regression) provided odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for intervention decision predictors when all other variables were held constant. RESULTS: Seven intervention decision predictors were identified: 1) application for subsidized hearing services (participants more likely to choose hearing aids and less likely to choose communication programs); 2) hearing impairment (hearing aids more likely and no intervention less likely); 3) communication self-efficacy (hearing aids less likely); 4) powerful others as locus of control (hearing aids less likely); 5) hearing disability perceived by others and self (hearing aids more likely); 6) perceived communication program effectiveness (communication programs more likely); and 7) perceived suitability of individual communication program (hearing aids less likely and communication programs more likely). CONCLUSION: Findings suggest the need for clinicians to explicitly elicit the predictors identified by this study when involving adults with acquired hearing impairment in intervention decisions. |
