Objective. Encountering Hearing loss (HL) in a child may have detrimental effects on the mother-child relationship as well as the psychological well-being (PWB) of mothers. Early interventions for children with HL should also take into account the potential harms to mothers. Faranak Parent-Child Mother Goose Program (P-CMGP) which is derived from P-CMGP, is used for the speech and language development of children and the PWB of mothers. This study was performed to assess the effects of Faranak P-CMGP on the PWB in mothers of children who are deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) under 6 years old.
Material & Methods. In this quasi-experimental design study with pre-test, post-test and follow-up, subjects were recruited from two family and DHH child centers in two cities of Bushehr Province, Iran. They were selected through a convenience sampling method and divided randomly into two groups, an intervention and a control group. Overall, 53 mothers of children who are DHH (27 in the intervention group and 26 in the control group) were included in this study. The intervention group participated in 30 weekly session (one-hour duration) of Faranak P-CMGP. The control group received their routine care. The Persian version of the Ryff PWB Scale was used to measure six aspects of well-being.
Results. Statistically significant differences were found in the mean score of PWB between the mothers of the intervention and control groups (P=0.001). The intervention led to a significant improvement in the PWB of mothers of DHH children as well as in six well-being dimensions: self-acceptance, a positive relation with other mothers, autonomy, environmental mastery, purpose in life and personal growth (P=0.001 in all instances) in post-test and follow-up.
Conclusion. The results demonstrated statistically significant and positive effect of the Faranak P-CMGP on the PWB of mothers of DHH children. Considering the remarkable effect size (54%) obtained from Faranak P-CMGP and easy application, it seems that it can be utilized to promote the PWB of mothers and enhance mother-child relationships alongside with early intervention rehabilitation programs for children with HL.
