The process of implantation is fraught with expectations. To ensure continued parental commitment and motivation, it is important to have insight into expectations and the factors that influence them. This study investigated the expectations of mothers whose children used a cochlear implant, and the influence that satisfaction with outcomes had on expectations over time. A qualitative research methodology was used. In-depth interviews were undertaken with eight mothers of pre-school children. The data were analysed according to a detailed qualitative analysis procedure. Findings revealed changing expectations over time, based either on hope or knowledge. Many variables influenced expectations, including response to deafness, anxiety and performance outcomes. Theoretical and clinical implications include the dynamic nature of expectations and the impact these have on counselling.
植入过程充满了各种期望。为确保父母持续的投入和积极性，洞察期望以及影响期望的因素非常重要。本研究调查了孩子使用人工耳蜗的母亲的期望，以及随着时间推移，对结果的满意度对期望产生的影响。采用了定性研究方法。对八名学龄前儿童的母亲进行了深入访谈。数据依据详细的定性分析程序进行了分析。研究结果显示，期望会随着时间基于希望或知识而发生变化。许多变量会影响期望，包括对耳聋的反应、焦虑和表现结果。理论和临床意义包括期望的动态性质以及这些期望对咨询的影响。
