Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to compare parental academic achievement pressure and support between children using cochlear implants and their peers with normal hearing and to examine the relationship between these parental factors and children’s social anxiety levels. Methods: A total of 63 children aged 11–17 years were included, comprising 30 cochlear implant users (study group) and 33 children with normal hearing (control group), all followed at the X University Audiology Department. Assessment was conducted using the Parents’ Academic Achievement Pressure and Support Scale (PAAPSS) and the revised form of the Social Anxiety Scale for Children (SASC-R). The data were analyzed in SPSS (v26), adopting a significance criterion of p 0.05). However, social anxiety scores were significantly higher in cochlear implant users compared to normal hearing children (p 0.05).- Conclusion: Parental academic achievement pressure and support do not differ between cochlear implant users and normal hearing children. However, cochlear implant users exhibit significantly higher levels of social anxiety. These findings suggest that psychosocial interventions targeting social anxiety should be considered as part of rehabilitation programs for children with cochlear implants.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma, koklear implant kullanan çocuklar ile normal işitmeye sahip akranları arasında ebeveynlerin akademik başarı baskısı ve desteği açısından bir karşılaştırma yapmak ve bu ebeveyn faktörleriyle çocukların sosyal kaygı düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: X Üniversitesi Odyoloji Anabilim Dalı'nda takip edilen, 30 koklear implant kullanıcısı (çalışma grubu) ve 33 normal işitmeye sahip çocuktan (kontrol grubu) oluşan toplam 63 çocuk çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Değerlendirme, Ebeveyn Akademik Başarı Baskısı ve Desteği Ölçeği (PAAPSS) ve Çocuklar için Sosyal Kaygı Ölçeği'nin revize edilmiş hali (SASC-R) kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler, p 0,05). Ancak, sosyal kaygı puanları, normal işitmeye sahip çocuklara kıyasla koklear implant kullanıcılarında anlamlı derecede daha yüksekti (p 0,05). Sonuç: Ebeveynlerin akademik başarı baskısı ve desteği, koklear implant kullanıcıları ile normal işiten çocuklar arasında farklılık göstermemektedir. Ancak, koklear implant kullanıcıları anlamlı derecede daha yüksek sosyal kaygı düzeyleri sergilemektedir. Bu bulgular, sosyal kaygıyı hedef alan psikososyal müdahalelerin rehabilitasyonun bir parçası olarak değerlendirilmesi gerektiğini göstermektedir.
