The Effect of Family Empowerment Programs on Caregivers of Prelingually Deaf Children with Cochlear Implants
To examine the impact of a family empowerment program on the psychological resilience and family resilience of caregivers of children with Cochlear Implants (CI).
Methods
2
A multidisciplinary collaborative model was used to design and implement a family empowerment program based on family empowerment theory and in conjunction with a literature review. Caregivers of children with CI who underwent CI surgery in the otology ward of a tertiary care hospital in Beijing between February 2023 and January 2024 were selected for the study. The selected caregivers of children with CI were randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups by generating random numbers through SPSS. The experimental group received the intervention of family empowerment program based on the conventional rehabilitation training modality and the control group received the conventional rehabilitation training modality. The study used the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and Family hardiness index (FHI) assessment tools. Psychological resilience and family hardiness were compared between the two groups of caregivers at baseline and at the end of the intervention.
Results
2
After the intervention of the Family Empowerment Program
the total psychological resilience score of caregivers of children with CI in the experimental group (73.24±9.51) was significantly increased
and the total family resilience score (71.97±9.81) was significantly strengthened
which was statistically different from that of the control group (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
By implementing a family empowerment program
not only did this study enhance the psychological resilience of caregivers
but also significantly strengthened the overall resilience of the family
creating a more conducive rehabilitation environment for the child
and the program deserves to be widely applied and replicated.
