Database searches definition

Database searches. We conducted searches for articles in electronic databases. We also undertook hand searching the reference lists of reviews and included articles. Electronical database searches: The following databases were searched: PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Academic Search Premier, CINAHL, Embase and Google scholar. The search terms ´deaf´, ´hard of hearing´ and ´hearing impaired´ were used, each of them in combination with ´facilities´ and/ or ´healthcare´. Detailed search strategy available from authors. Searching other electronical sources: A systematic internet search was done using the same search terms as the database search plus ´remote interpreting´ ´remote online interpreting´, ´speech-to-text interpreter´, and/ or ´captions´. A specific internet search was done to identify additional facilities that were not described in scientific literature. Information provided by the World Federation of the Deaf website, the European Forum of Sign Language Interpreters and the World Association of Sign Language Interpreters was used to identify countries where facilities or SL interpreters are available for DHH people. We specifically searched the internet for more information on possible healthcare facilities available in these countries. If necessary, representatives of deaf organisations were contacted by email. This specific internet search provided us with information on facilities mainly for people who were deaf(ened) from an early age, in Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Thailand and some countries in the Middle-East. No information about facilities for people who became DHH at an older age (as adults) was found with this strategy. Hand search: We searched the reference lists of all reviews found and of all included articles. We made contact with experts in the field to identify any relevant unpublished or grey literature. One of the authors (AS) spoke with participants of five special interest group meetings and congresses of the European Society of Mental Health and Deafness (2006- 2017) about specialised facilities available in their countries. These were unstructured interviews, where written notes were taken. All interviewees were healthcare workers and came from the following countries; Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Israel, Italy, Norway, Poland, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States of America. Participants were asked about the existence of inpatient and outpatient facilities in their countries. ...
