Abstract:

Children with hearing loss, especially with severe and profound hearing impairment are affected in their communication and development, which might have an important impact on parents. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of life of parents of children with hearing loss and identify the associated factors. It was performed a cross-sectional study with parents of children that went through phonoaudiological therapy at a public university clinic at the city of São Paulo. The instruments used were: World Health Organization Quality of Life Instrument, Short Form (WHOQOL-bref), Social Support Questionnaire 6 (SSQ-6) and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). The inferential analysis was performed using Student’s t-test. The study included 29 parents, 26 mothers and 3 fathers, of 27 children with severe and profound hearing impairment. The mean of the domain scores of the WHOQOL-bref , on a scale of 0-100, ranged between 40-60 and the overall score was 53. The best performance was achieved in physical domain (60.3) and the worst in environment domain (40.5).
