Effects of family environment features on cochlear-implanted children.
European Archives of Oto-rhino-laryngology 2018 September
PURPOSE: The role of cochlear implant in deaf children development is well-known. However, the results are highly variable and depend on several factors. The most important role belongs to the family, family environment in which the child develops. The aim of the study was to evaluate the features of the family environment in which cochlear-implanted children develop.
METHODS: The questionnaire "Family Environment Scale" was sent to 108 families who had cochlear-implanted child with more than 6 months of experience. One of the parents was asked to fill out the questionnaire which also included general information about the child and the family.
RESULTS: A total of 58 families responded to the questionnaire and accepted to participate in the study. Mean values were higher compared with normal families in the areas of cohesion, expressiveness, intellectual-cultural orientation and organization, but the cohesion and organization score mean value exceeded the normal values (between 40 and 60). The independence and the conflict areas had lower values than normal families but did not exceed the lower limit of normal (40).
CONCLUSIONS: The relationship between the family and the auditory-verbal development potential of the cochlear-implanted child is obvious. However, further studies are needed to establish correlations between the characteristics of the family environment and the level of auditory-verbal and psycho-cognitive development of the cochlear-implanted child so we can act on the family environment through education or therapy, to get maximum benefit with these children.
