Abstract

Making a difference, motivates to carry out research work, where the university community and especially nursing students can acquire the necessary tools to meet communication needs with vulnerable populations, in this case patients with hearing impairment where nursing undoubtedly has a wide field of intervention and response to the diversity of needs for this group, to learn the Colombian Sign Language (LSC). This would undoubtedly be the first contribution towards the inclusion of this group in a situation of hearing disability. Being able to understand this group motivates a deep reflection where nursing cannot be oblivious to this health problem. Hence the need for this study to identify the difficulties and forms of communication that nursing has before patients in a situation of hearing disability in the city of Barranquilla.
