The effectiveness of social work services on the social adjustment of parents of children with hearing impairment

زمينه و هدف: كم‏شنوايي پراسترس‏ترين معلوليت است و مراقبت از كودكان كم‏شنوا، والدين را در معرض خطر سلامت رواني قرار مي‏دهد. از اين رو حمايت و مداخله‎هاي تخصصي براي اين خانواده‏ها بسيار ارزشمند است و آنها را در پرورش فرزندشان بسيار كمك مي‏كند. هدف از اين مطالعه، بررسي تاثير مددكاري اجتماعي بر سازگاري اجتماعي در والدين كودكان كم‏شنواي شهر اراك بود. روش بررسي: در اين پژوهش، تعداد 37 خانواده كودكان كم‏شنوا 4 تا 16 سال شهر اراك، به‏صورت نمونه‏گيري مبتني بر هدف از جامعه انتخاب شدند. براي تعيين دريافت يا عدم دريافت خدمات مددكاري از مصاحبه و بررسي پرونده و به‏منظور تعيين سازگاري اجتماعي از پرسش‏نامه 54 پرسشي سازگاري اجتماعي استفاده شد. براي تجزيه و تحليل داده‏ها و اطلاعات به‏دست آمده از والدين، از تحليل واريانس استفاده شد. يافته‏ها: تحليل داده‏ها نشان داد بين والدين افراد كم‏شنوايي كه خدمات مددكاري اجتماعي دريافت كرده بودند و والديني كه اين خدمات را دريافت نكرده بودند از نظر سازگاري اجتماعي و مقياس‏هاي آن تفاوت معني‎داري وجود دارد(p < 0/001). نتيجه‏گيري: با توجه به نتايج به‏دست آمده مي‏توان گفت والدين افراد كم‏شنوايي كه خدمات مددكاري اجتماعي دريافت كرده بودند سازگاري اجتماعي كلي بالاتري داشتند. بنابراين ارايه خدمات مددكاري به والدين افراد كم‏شنوا باعث ارتقاي سازگاري اجتماعي آنان مي‏شود.

Background and Aim: Hearing impairment is one of the most stressful disabilities. The mental health of parents caring for children with hearing impairment is at risk.

Methods: In this study, 37 parents of children with hearing impairment were selected as the sample population. Interviews and case studies were conducted to determine whether the parents were receiving social work services. The social adjustment scale was used to assess parents’ social adjustment. Analysis of variance (F) was used to analyze the data and information obtained from parents. Results: Data analysis showed that there is a significant difference between parents who had received social work services and parents who had not received social work services (p < 0.001). Conclusion: According to the obtained results, parents who had received social work services experienced higher social adjustment. It can be said that providing assistance to parents of children with hearing impairment can improve their social integration.
