Sheppard, Ph.D. RN APN – BC & Badger, Ph.D. RN PMHCNS FAAN, employed the use of qualitative interviews to test their hypothesis that members of the deaf culture experience some depressive symptoms and the interpretation of the data was carried out with help of certified interpreters. The findings of the study were in line with the hypothesis of the study because they indicated that the deaf individuals have communication barriers, which leads to depressive symptoms due to abuse, low self-esteem, isolation, and cases of inadequate health with. Some of the childhood experiences that lead to depression for culturally deaf adults include feeling like a burden in the family, physical or sexual abuse, and feeling family ostracism.

Fileccia, Joyceann. "Sensitive Care For The Deaf: A Cultural Challenge." Creative Nursing 17.4 (2011): 174-179. Academic Search Complete. Web. 11 Mar. 2014.
Joyceann Fileccia, PhD, RN, CNS, LCPC, LCCC, employs the se of this article to give a discussion the community of the deaf people, the health care needs based on the deaf culture, and the lack of the recognition of the deaf culture as a culture of its own, by the health care providers. The failure of the recognition of health care provider’s recognition of the culture thus results in the provision of health care that is not culturally sensitive to the deaf society. This leads to disparities in the provision of care.

Mance, Jennifer, and Lindsey Edwards. "Deafness-Related Self-Perceptions And Psychological Well-Being In Deaf Adolescents With Cochlear Implants." Cochlear Implants International: An Interdisciplinary Journal 13.2 (2012): 93-104. Academic Search Complete. Web. 11 Mar. 2014.
Jennifer Mance and Linsey Edwards studied the relationship between self-perception and psychological well-being among adolescents who had undergone cochlea implants with cochlear implants, relative to the perceptions such youths had on deaf signing, hearing, and in oral communication with deaf peers. Repertory grid technique was used for self-perception determination while Beck Youth Inventory was employed in the case of well-being assessment. The results indicate that better psychological well-being has a correlation with association with any of the peers. However, better psychological-well being is associated with association with the hearing peers compared to association with non-hearing peers.
