The purpose of this study was to make a quantitative comparison of parameters of self-esteem and social well-being between children with cochlear implants and normal-hearing children.
Data were obtained from 164 children with cochlear implant (CI) and 2169 normal-hearing children (NH). Parental questionnaires, used in a national survey assessing the self-esteem and well-being of normal-hearing children, were applied to the cochlear implanted group, in order to allow direct comparisons.
The children in the CI group rated significantly higher on questions about well-being in kindergarten/school and the CI boys appeared to manage school work better than normal-hearing boys. CI children were significantly more active and bullied other children less than normal-hearing peers, whereas no difference existed as to being bullied by other children. No difference was obtained regarding overall self-esteem or number of friends. The two groups of children scored similarly on being confident, independent, social, not worried and happy.
Children with cochlear implant score equal to or better than their normal-hearing peers on matters of self-esteem and social well-being.
本研究旨在对人工耳蜗植入儿童与听力正常儿童的自尊和社会幸福感参数进行定量比较。
数据来自164名人工耳蜗植入（CI）儿童和2169名听力正常（NH）儿童。为了进行直接比较，在一项评估听力正常儿童自尊和幸福感的全国性调查中使用的家长问卷被应用于人工耳蜗植入组。
CI组儿童在关于幼儿园/学校幸福感的问题上得分显著更高，且CI组男孩在学业表现上似乎比听力正常的男孩更好。CI儿童明显比听力正常的同龄人更活跃，欺负其他儿童的情况更少，而在被其他儿童欺负方面没有差异。在总体自尊或朋友数量方面没有差异。两组儿童在自信、独立、社交、不焦虑和快乐方面得分相似。
人工耳蜗植入儿童在自尊和社会幸福感方面得分与听力正常的同龄人相当或更好。
