Both primary and secondary care practitioners have an obligation to explore efficient delivery of simple management pathways. The pressure to deliver quality care with finite resources means that dealing with single-symptom conditions like tinnitus in an efficient and individualized manner has never been more important. Should acknowledge noise as a risk factor. Needs to acknowledge and make use of theories on risk behaviour and similarly, the theories on risk behaviour Likewise, research on hearing prevention for young people Of social and existential theories on gender as basic factors in the analysis of attitudes towards risk-takingīehaviours is considered to be of utmost importance. However, which together comprised the main themes, were rather diverse for men and women. A main theme of the phenomenaįor both genders emerged: Social identity and Existential identity of risk taking. Interviewees’ responses revealed the social reproduction of gender and class. In total, 16Īdolescents (8 men/8 women, aged 16-19) were interview wed individually and in focus groups. smoking and drug use) and in noisy environments (e.g.ĭiscotheques and rock concerts), in relationship to norms and gender roles in contemporary society. The aims of study 2 were to illuminate the complexity of risk behaviour, the meaning and purpose ofĪdolescent risk-taking in both a traditional sense (e.g.
To loud music as often as those with occasional tinnitus. Permanent tinnitus judged loud music as more risky than adolescents with no symptoms and they did not listen Underlines the importance of adopting a gender perspective in the analysis of risk factors. We suggest that this difference is a social- and culture based phenomenon which That young women judge risk situations as generally more dangerous than young men, although they behave in The aim of study 1 was to analyse the relationship between self-exposure to noise, riskīehaviours and risk judgements among 310 Swedish adolescents aged 15-20 (167 men/143 women).Īdolescents’ behaviour in different traditional risk situations correlated with behaviour in noisy environmentsĪnd judgements about traditional risks correlated with judgement regarding noise exposure.
There is, however, a need to balance reasonable. Processes of developing their identities. Testing boundaries and risk-taking are fundamental aspects of young people’s lives and the These behaviours are as threatening to young peoples’ health as more traditional riskīehaviours. Adolescents in Western society often expose themselves to high levels of sound at gyms, rock concerts,ĭiscotheques etc.
