ABSTRACT To explore the factors influencing parents’ choice of communication mode during early education of their child with hearing loss. Qualitative descriptive analysis of semi-structured interviews with parents of children with hearing loss. Fourteen parents of children who participated in the Longitudinal Outcomes of Children with Hearing Impairment study. Four themes emerged from thematic analysis of the interview data: (1) parents draw on a variety of experiences and information to make decisions; (2) parents’ preferred outcomes for their children drive their choices; (3) child’s preference and proficiency drive parental choice; and (4) parents’ fears and worries influence decisions. The results reinforced the importance of parents receiving unbiased, descriptive information as well as evaluative information from professionals, so that they could consider all options in making a decision that met their needs. Parents also require continual support for implementation of their choices as they adjust to their children’s changing communication needs. Parent decisions around communication mode are rarely made in isolation, but occur within a larger decision-making matrix that include device choices, early intervention agency choices, and ‘future-proofing’ the child’s ongoing communication needs.

影响听力损失儿童早期教育期间父母沟通选择决策的因素:一项定性研究

摘要 探讨听力损失儿童早期教育中父母沟通方式选择的影响因素。对听力损失儿童家长进行半结构化访谈的定性描述性分析。参与听力障碍儿童纵向结果研究的 14 名儿童家长。对访谈数据进行专题分析,得出四个主题:(1)家长根据各种经验和信息做出决定;(2)父母对孩子的期望结果驱动他们的选择;(3)孩子的喜好和熟练程度驱动父母的选择;(4) 父母的恐惧和担忧影响决策。结果强调了父母从专业人士那里接收公正的描述性信息以及评估信息的重要性,以便他们可以在做出满足其需求的决定时考虑所有选择。父母在适应孩子不断变化的沟通需求时,还需要持续的支持来实施他们的选择。家长关于沟通模式的决策很少是孤立做出的,而是在更大的决策矩阵中做出的,其中包括设备选择、早期干预机构选择以及“面向未来”孩子持续的沟通需求。
