The objective of the study\n\t\t\t was to gain an understanding from the perspective of the participants, the ways\n\t\t\t in which workers with acquired hearing loss manage their identity in the\n\t\t\t workplace.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>PARTICIPANTS: Twelve persons with acquired hearing loss, who were\n\t\t\t gainfully employed in a variety of settings and occupations in three Canadian\n\t\t\t cities, participated in audio-recorded semi-structured interviews.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>METHODS: A secondary qualitative analysis was conducted on\n\t\t\t transcripts of interviews collected in a previous study on factors that\n\t\t\t influence disclosure of hearing loss in the workplace. A qualitative\n\t\t\t descriptive research paradigm was adopted and content analyses were used to\n\t\t\t extract pertinent information from verbatim transcripts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>RESULTS: Participants described a range of identity-management\n\t\t\t strategies enacted in the workplace. Five recurrent themes emerged as important\n\t\t\t considerations in the Art of Identity Management in the workplace: 1. Managing\n\t\t\t the situation, 2. Having a buddy system, 3. Feeling comfortable, 4. Using\n\t\t\t personal resources, 5. It gets easier with time.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>CONCLUSIONS: Social identity-management is a complex process.\n\t\t\t Although persons with acquired hearing loss experience different challenges\n\t\t\t from other persons with invisible stigmas, similarities in the range of social\n\t\t\t identity-management strategies employed were evident in our findings. In\n\t\t\t addition, the social cognitive learning model of disclosure appears to be\n\t\t\t relevant to the experiences of our participants. The implications of the\n\t\t\t findings emphasize the importance of all stakeholders working collaboratively\n\t\t\t to address the issues of the growing population of workers with hearing\n\t\t\t loss.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/wor-131760","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,3]],"date-time":"2019-12-03T02:24:33Z","timestamp":1575339873000},"page":"169-180","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Social identity management strategies used by workers with\t\t\t acquired hearing loss"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Mary Beth","family":"Jennings","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Communication Sciences and Disorders and\r\t\t\t National Centre for Audiology, Faculty of Health Sciences, Western University,\r\t\t\t London, ON, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kenneth","family":"Southall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut Raymond-Dewar, Centre de Recherche\r\t\t\t Interdisciplinaire en R\u00e9adaptation, Montr\u00e9al, QC, Canada"},{"name":"School of Social Work, McGill University, Montreal,\r\t\t\t QC, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jean-Pierre","family":"Gagn\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"\u00c9cole d'orthophonie et d'audiologie,\r\t\t\t Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, Montr\u00e9al Qu\u00e9bec,\r\t\t\t Canada"},{"name":"Centre de Recherche de l'Institut Universitaire de\r\t\t\t G\u00e9riatrie de Montr\u00e9al, Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al,\r\t\t\t Montr\u00e9al, QC, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,1]]},"container-title":["WORK: A Journal of Prevention, Assessment &amp; Rehabilitation"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.3233\/WOR-131760","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.3233\/WOR-131760","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,1]],"date-time":"2026-05-01T05:29:40Z","timestamp":1777613380000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.3233\/WOR-131760"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2013,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.3233\/WOR-131760"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3233\/wor-131760","relation":{},"ISSN":["1051-9815","1875-9270"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1051-9815","type":"print"},{"value":"1875-9270","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013,1]]}}}
