This study evaluated the emotional and marital adjustment of hearing parents of hearing-impaired youths. Participants included mothers and fathers of hearing-impaired youths and mothers and fathers of hearing youths. In contrast with expectations based on clinical impressions reported in the literature, parents of hearing-impaired youths reported less symptomatology than did parents of hearing youths, and there were no differences in the marital satisfaction of parents in intact families. Moreover, parental adjustment was not associated with the duration of time since the child was diagnosed as hearing impaired. In addition, hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that family cohesion was associated with low maternal symptomatology and high marital satisfaction for both spouses. For mothers, low symptomatology was associated with low stress and female gender of child; high marital satisfaction also was linked with a less severe degree of hearing loss in the youth.
本研究评估了听力正常的青少年听力受损者父母的情绪和婚姻适应情况。参与者包括听力受损青少年的母亲和父亲以及听力正常青少年的母亲和父亲。与文献中报道的临床印象所预期的情况相反，听力受损青少年的父母所报告的症状比听力正常青少年的父母少，并且完整家庭中父母的婚姻满意度没有差异。此外，父母的适应情况与孩子被诊断为听力受损后的时间长短无关。此外，分层多元回归分析显示，家庭凝聚力与母亲的低症状水平以及夫妻双方的高婚姻满意度相关。对于母亲来说，低症状水平与低压力和孩子的女性性别有关；高婚姻满意度也与青少年听力损失程度较轻有关。
