Abstract

This is a descriptive and analytical research with a qualitative approach, which aims to characterize the communication of health professionals with the deaf person and describe features of the relationship. The corpus was composed of seven professionals, data were collected in Goiânia, and they were analyzed using content analysis. Two categories were analyzed: communication between healthcare professionals and deaf people using sign language, and relationship resources with the deaf person. In the first category, the Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS) was pointed out as an important communication tool in caring of deaf people. In the second category, the work of the translator and interpreter of LIBRAS was pointed out. It was found that professionals are not adequately prepared to care for the deaf person and it is concluded that verbal communication has not been sufficient to establish the link between them.
