청각장애 자녀의 인공와우 착용에 대한 부모의 태도 분석

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The use of cochlear implant and its verbal rehabilitation effects are contingent on how parents with hearing-impaired children look at that equipment. The purpose of this study was, accordingly, to examine how parents whose deaf children wore cochlear implant and took verbal rehabilitation education had made a decision to receive that operation and how much they were satisfied with it by age group and educational background.
The subjects in this study were 87 parents with children who used cochlear implant from Seoul, Busan, Daegu and Ulsan, and questionnaire method was utilized to gather data. This study were implemented from April through October 2002 in the procedure of subject selecting, questionnaire distributing, data processing and thesis preparing. Questionnaires used in earlier studies were reconstructed by this researcher, and this reorganized questionnaire was finalized through the advice of my professor. The questionnaire was constituted by 20 items, including three about the reason of receiving cochlear implant operation and 17 regarding its satisfaction level. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS/PC(v 7.5). The frequency and percentage were calculated for cach of the subarcas, and x2 tcst was employed.
The major findings of the study were as follows:
First, concerning what had caused them to have their children receive that operation, the young parents in their 30s and 40s had hesitated to do it out of fear, expecting there would be a better equipment in the future, but they had made a decision after they had met other children who had received that operation. And the better-educated parents who had finished university or higher course hadn’t have confidence since it would be possible for a better equipment to come out in the future. And the parents whose children had wore cochlear implant for less than three years had been more affected by meeting other children with cochlear implant, rather than by counseling from specialists. Second, in relation to satisfaction with cochlear implant, the parents in their 30s and 40s were contented with that operation. This group had some understanding of the operation machine and communicated with children mainly by oral speech or gesture. In particular, they were more enthusiastic about verbal therapy and integrated education. The parents who had completed university or higher courses tried to have conversation with children by oral speech even before cochlear implant was used. The parents who had graduated from high school believed that integrated education should start when their children could share communication with nondisabled friends, where as the parents who had finished university or higher courses argued that it must begin one or two years after that operation. As for the period of wearing cochlear implant, the parents whose children had used it for less than three years were more willing to advise other parents to have their children undergo that operation, since their children were able to hear well. The findings of this study suggested that the parents who had children using cochlear implant for less than three years had a very affirmative view of the use of it.
