Abstract: (104 Views)
Objective. Hearing loss (HL) in children may lead to disorders in prelinguistic, language, verbal, and communication skills, and early interventions should focus on mitigating the negative impact of this impairment, particularly in the areas of auditory and social communication skills. Faranak Parent-Child Mother Goose Program (P-CMGP) which is derived from P-CMGP, is used to develop these skills through effective parent-child relationships. This study assessed the effect of the Faranak P-CMGP on the development of auditory and vocalization skills of children who were deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) under six years old.
Material & Methods. In this quasi-experimental 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 DHH children with their mothers (27 in the intervention group and 26 in the control group) were included in this study. The intervention group participated in 30 weekly sessions (one-hour duration) of Faranak P-CMGP. The Persian version of the Questionnaires including Purdy Auditory Behavior in Everyday Life (ABEL) and Kishon-Rabin Production of Infant Scale Evaluation (PRISE) were used to measure the development of auditory and vocalization skills.
Results. Statistically significant differences were found in the mean scores of the development of auditory and vocalization skills between the children of the intervention and control groups, in favor of the intervention group (P<0.001, in both instances). The intervention led to significant improvements in the auditory skill development of DHH children through three factors: auditory-oral skills, auditory awareness, and conversational/social skills, as well as in vocalization skill development (P<0.001 in all instances) in the post-test and follow-up. Based on the Eta squared coefficient, 30% and 32% of the changes between the scores of the development of auditory and vocalization skills of DHH children in the two groups may be attributed to the intervention.
Conclusion. The results demonstrated statistically significant and positive effect of the Faranak P-CMGP on the development of auditory and vocalization skills of DHH children. Considering the remarkable effect size obtained from Faranak P-CMGP and its easy application, it can be utilized to develop the auditory awareness and auditory-oral skills of children and enhance mother-child relationships alongside early intervention rehabilitation programs for children with HL.
