ABSTRACT Parent-to-parent support for the families of deaf children has been provided in an East London district as an adjunct to the existing Early Support programme. Two parents of deaf children were employed as Parent Support Workers. They were members of a multi-disciplinary team of audiologists, teachers of the deaf and a specialist speech therapist. A questionnaire was used to obtain the views of the parents of a 10-year cohort of 35 deaf children who had received the peer support. There were high levels of satisfaction. Twenty-two respondents (63%) judged that a parent who had a shared experience was the person best placed to offer help and advice immediately following the diagnosis of childhood deafness with 27 (77%) considering the counselling and guidance of the teacher or therapist as most useful in the pre-school period after this initial period. An overwhelming 34 (97%) would recommend peer support as being useful. Twelve professionals, including five teachers, submitted free text on their views of the support. This was evaluated using thematic analysis. There were concerns about training and governance of the Parent Support Workers, with one teacher considering that the role may conflict with that of the teacher. However, ten professionals considered it to be a beneficial addition to existing programmes and none wanted it withdrawn. Most recognised that the “shared experience” of caring for a deaf child enabled the support workers to get close to families and provide a link with the home, which helped the parents engage with the intervention of the multi-disciplinary team.

为新生儿听力筛查确定的聋儿家庭提供父母对父母的支持

摘要 作为现有早期支持计划的辅助手段,已经在东伦敦地区为失聪儿童的家庭提供了父母对父母的支持。两名聋童的父母被聘为家长支持工作者。他们是由听力学家、聋人教师和专业言语治疗师组成的多学科团队的成员。一份调查问卷用于收集 35 名接受同伴支持的聋儿 10 年队列的父母的意见。有很高的满意度。22 名受访者 (63%) 认为有共同经历的父母最适合在诊断出儿童耳聋后立即提供帮助和建议,其中 27 名 (77%) 考虑教师或治疗师的咨询和指导在这个初始阶段之后的学龄前阶段最有用。压倒性的 34 (97%) 认为同伴支持是有用的。包括 5 名教师在内的 12 名专业人士提交了关于他们对支持的看法的免费文本。这是使用主题分析进行评估的。有人担心家长支持工作者的培训和治理,一名教师认为该角色可能与教师的角色发生冲突。然而,十名专业人士认为它是对现有计划的有益补充,没有人希望将其撤回。
