A Study on Current Status and Satisfaction with Intervention Services for Parents of Young Children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing

本研究旨在探討學前聽障兒童家長對療育服務的現況與滿意度情形，採自編問卷進行調查，問卷內容包含「資訊（教育資源）支援」、「專業（教學／教養）支援」、「經濟支援」、「服務支援」、「精神（心理／情感關係）支援」五個向度。以在中部地區五個學前聽障療育機構與學校單位接受療育服務之0-6歲學前聽障兒童之家長為研究對象，樣本數共計161人。寄出161份問卷， 回收有效問卷123份，達七成以上。資料以描述統計、t考驗、單因子變異數分析等進行統計分析。研究發現：（1）學前聽障兒童家長最為需要之前三項療育服務為「專業（教學／教養）支援」、「資訊（教育資源）支援」、「經濟支援」，其中又以「專業（教學／教養）支援」的需求為最高；（2）家長對療育服務滿意度最高之向度為「專業（教學／教養）支援」；（3）家長對療育服務的滿意度會因學前聽障兒童的年齡、兒童所配戴的聽覺輔具類型、家長或主要照顧者之教育程度、家庭型態之不同而有顯著差異。本研究最後依據研究結果，提出各項與學前聽障兒童療育服務內容相關之實質建議，作為日後相關單位、學前聽障兒童家長及未來研究者之參考。
