This research study stemmed from my experience as a community-based Audiologist in the Mitchell's Plain sub-district in Cape Town, South Africa. During this time, I worked closely with the local school nurses and witnessed first-hand the many challenges that these health workers are faced with. Through my collaborative work with the Mitchell's Plain school health nurses I identified the urgent need for a contextually relevant hearing screening protocol to assist the school nurses in improving the current state of the school-based hearing screening service. I therefore embarked on this research process taking on the role of a 'clinician-researcher' who had prior relationships with the primary research participants i.e. the local school nurses. 2014-12-27T19:42:17Z 2014-12-27T19:42:17Z 2011 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10277 eng application/pdf Division of Communication Sciences and Disorders Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town
