This study examined the relationship between parental self-efficacy in parents of young deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) children and children's spoken language skills. A retrospective within-subjects study design was used that included 24 mother-child dyads with DHH children. Parental self-efficacy was assessed using the Scale of Parental Involvement and Self-Efficacy-Revised. Children's language abilities were assessed using the Preschool Language Scale-5th edition. Our data revealed no significant associations between global measures of parental self-efficacy and children's auditory comprehension, expressive communication, and total language scores. However, positive correlations were found between child language skills and specific parents' beliefs about their ability to support their child's spoken language development, their ability to use strategies to help their child communicate, and their active involvement in intervention. Findings highlight the importance of examining discrete aspects of parental self-efficacy as it specifically relates to parents supporting their DHH child's spoken language development. Future directions and implications are provided.
本研究考察了聋哑和重听（DHH）幼儿家长的父母自我效能感与孩子口语技能之间的关系。采用了回顾性的被试内研究设计，纳入了24对患有DHH的母子二元组。使用修订后的《家长参与和自我效能感量表》评估父母自我效能感。使用《学前语言量表》第5版评估孩子的语言能力。我们的数据显示，父母自我效能感的总体测量与孩子的听觉理解、表达性沟通和总语言分数之间没有显著关联。然而，在孩子的语言技能与父母对自己支持孩子口语发展能力的特定信念、运用策略帮助孩子沟通的能力以及积极参与干预之间发现了正相关。研究结果凸显了考察父母自我效能感的离散方面的重要性，因为这与父母支持其患有DHH的孩子的口语发展密切相关。文中提供了未来的研究方向和启示。
