Relationship between parental stress and attitude towards cochlear implantation outcomes in children in an Indian context

Abstract

Purpose:The study was aimed to investigate the relationship between parental stress and attitude of parents towards the outcomes of cochlear implantation in an Indian scenario. Methods: A total of 59 parents of children with cochlear implantation participated in the study. The outcomes of cochlear implant was measured using Parental attitudes of various aspects of cochlear implantation questionnaire and parental stress was measured using parental stress scale. The questionnaires were circulated to participants and data was collected in the form of e-survey. Results: The present study showed that the parental stress level was similar among mothers and fathers. Further, the parental attitude towards communication abilities of children and education were positively correlated with the duration of cochlear implantation. Finally, a significant positive correlation was found between the parental stress and the parental attitude towards communication abilities of children and social skills. Conclusion: The present study showed a positive relationship between parental stress and parental attitude towards the outcomes of cochlear implantation for aspects of communication abilities and social skills.

Instruments for evaluating the parental emotional status and ecological support systems among parents who considered cochlear implantation for their children with hearing loss: A scoping review

“…Besides PSI, several instruments were used for assessing stress and anxiety levels among parents in the included studies. These instruments included the Beck Anxiety Inventory [ 64 ], Parental Stress Scale (PSS; [ 60 ]), Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS; [ 52 ]), Health-Related Quality of Life–Short Form (HRQOL-SF; [ 45 ]), Parenting Stress–CI modules (EC; [ 48 ]), Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire–Short Form (TEIQue-SF; [ 51 ]), Clarke QRS [ 57 ], Family Stress Scale [ 47 ], and Zarit Burden Interview [ 59 ]. Parents of DHH children showed significantly higher stress, anxiety, and care burden levels than those of hearing children [ 45 , 52 , 57 , 59 , 64 ].…”

“…These instruments can be employed for assessing either PES or ESS. However, generic methods possess the inherent capacity to exhibit reduced sensitivity or yield inconsistent outcomes when employed to assess certain populations or circumstances, particularly in PES [ 44 , 49 , 60 ]. As evidenced by the findings of this scoping review, no discernible disparity in parental stress levels was noted between parents of DHH children and parents of hearing children [ 49 ].…”

“…However, parents of children with CI experienced higher stress levels than parents of hearing population [ 59 , 62 , 64 ]. Nevertheless, upon closer examination of parental stress levels, the stress indices of these parents (both pre- and post-CI) remained within the fair range [ 44 , 56 , 60 ]. Notably, among the abovementioned studies, only two studies used condition-specific instruments for evaluating parental stress levels [ 59 , 60 ].…”

Therefore, the observed disparities that appear substantial lack substantive significance.…”
