The purpose of this study was to examine how meanings of hearing screening results were constructed in a 2-stage universal newborn hearing-screening program. Four mothers of infants referred from stage 1 screening and 1 screener participated in 12 interactions. The language of the interactions was analyzed using a discourse-analytic approach. Findings included the following: (1) the screener's talk was predominant and included a preponderance of yes-no questions, requests, and declarative statements, (2) the parents initiated infrequently and asked few questions, and (3) the wait period during screening was constructed very differently by mothers and the screener. Findings are discussed in terms of examining discourse in a previously unstudied context and its implications for professional preparation and practice of screeners. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
