This cross-sectional quantitative study investigated parents’ perceptions of the quality of family-centered practice in an early intervention service for young children who are deaf or hard of hearing through the use of the Measures of Processes of Care (MPOC-56). The results indicated that the majority of families accessing the service were satisfied with the family-centered practices they were receiving. Consistent with previous studies in different disability settings, families were least satisfied with the provision of general information regarding the child’s disability, identifying further access to unbiased information and resources is needed. This highlighted a tension in the role of organizations operating within individualized funding models in regard to who is responsible for the dissemination of reliable and evidence-based general information. As the MPOC-56 has not been used in deaf or hard of hearing populations previously, this study found it was an appropriate measure for caregiver perceptions of family-centered practice within this population.

耳聋和重听早期干预：对以家庭为中心的实践的看法

这项横断面定量研究通过使用护理过程的措施 (MPOC-56)，调查了父母对耳聋或听力障碍幼儿早期干预服务中以家庭为中心的实践质量的看法。结果表明，大多数获得服务的家庭对他们所接受的以家庭为中心的做法感到满意。与之前在不同残疾情况下的研究一致，家庭对提供有关儿童残疾的一般信息最不满意，需要进一步确定获取公正信息和资源的途径。这凸显了在个性化资助模式下运作的组织在谁负责传播可靠和基于证据的一般信息方面的作用存在紧张关系。由于 MPOC-56 之前未曾用于聋哑或听力障碍人群，因此本研究发现，这是衡量该人群中看护人对以家庭为中心的做法的看法的合适措施。
