“…Mixed results are found in the literature for parenting styles for disabled children. High scores of the warmth dimension have been reported whereas high scores of the rejection dimension have been reported for other studies (Antonopoulou et al, 2012;Ozturk, Riccadonna, & Venuti, 2014;Caron et al, 2006). For instance, disabled children's scores of the warmth dimension, which involves more supportive and protective behaviors, were reported to be significantly higher in a study conducted by Sardar and Sharifalhoseini (2014).…”

Effective parenting is vital for intellectual, physical, social, and emotional development of a child. This study examined the differences between the parenting dimensions of deaf children and healthy ones. The sample of the study consisted of 292 children and their parents (146 of them deaf children and 146 of them healthy ones). Dimensions of parenting (warmth, rejection, structure, chaos, autonomy, and coercion) were measured using the Parent as Social Context Questionnaire. The mean scores of the positive parenting dimensions of warmth and autonomy of deaf children were significantly lower; however, the mean scores of the negative dimensions of chaos and coercion of deaf children were significantly higher than those of healthy ones. Deaf children can become successful adults with the help of their parents. Our results regarding parenting dimensions will be a guide for future nursing interventions planned to develop the relationships between deaf children and their parents.

“…If, however, the image was the outcome of interactions among family members, it could convey the family’s experience of being different, thus reflecting the family’s experience of being part of a minority group, much like the experience of the child in his/her individual environment. Therefore, the familial experience appeared to derive from the interconnectedness between the child’s experience and the parents’ experience ( Zaidman-Zait, 2008 ; Antonopoulou et al, 2012 ). Finally, a small family image size could also express the family’s need to conceal or deny the D/HH condition by reducing and minimizing its presence, possibly reflecting the wish that the deficiency would not be seen and therefore not felt ( Eichengreen, 2014 ).…”

Pictorial Phenomena Depicting the Family Climate of Deaf/Hard of Hearing Children and Their Hearing Families

This mixed method study (Explanatory Design-the Participant Selection Model) investigated the use of joint drawing (the Family Squiggle) as a family climate assessment tool for hearing families who have a deaf/hard of hearing (D/HH) child. The goal was to evaluate the possibilities of applying a quantitative approach to characterize the pictorial phenomena produced by hearing families who have a D/HH child and then apply qualitative research approaches to better understand the meaning of these phenomena. Twenty-eight hearing families (parents and child) whose child was diagnosed as D/HH and used hearing devices (hearing aids and implant) were recruited along with 16 families with a hearing child of a similar age enrolled in a mainstream school. The sessions involved a joint drawing followed by a family interview. In the quantitative stage, pictorial phenomena for which there was a significant association between the phenomena and the group of families were defined. These were: (1) the number of dominant images, (2) images occupying less than a quarter of the page, (3) images with accentuated outlines, (4) moderate colorfulness with four to five colors in each drawing, (5) minimal representation of the face, (6) concrete rather than creative titles, (7) muting of conflictual themes, and (8) images reminiscent of hearing devices (hearing aids and implant). In the qualitative phase, interviews were conducted with the hearing families with a D/HH child to better understand the meaning of these pictorial phenomena. The findings suggest that each of these phenomena represent the preoccupation of the family with D/HH, capture a certain aspect of family dynamics, and together provide a broader and deeper picture of the family climate and the interactions between the children's family and hearing. This assessment tool may thus be utilized when verbal tools cannot be easily applied.

“…Indeed, researchers find that children who have a sibling in poor health tend to receive less parental attention, are read to less often and are more likely to interact with stressed parents (Dyson 1996;Parish & Cloud 2006;Mulroy, Robertson, Aiberti, Leonard & Bower 2008;Antonopoulou, Hadjikakou, Stampoltzis & Nicolaou 2012;Allin & Stabile 2012). They also tend to have poorer social and economic outcomes in the short and longer term compared to children who do not have ill or disabled siblings (Fletcher, Hair & Wolfe 2012;Rossiter & Sharpe 2001).…”
