Abstract

Background: Sibling relationships, one of the most extended relationships in life, contribute to an individual's social and emotional development. However, this relationship may be influenced if one sibling has a hearing loss.

Objectives: This study explored the influence of a hearing loss on the sibling relationship by gaining the perspectives of the sibling with normal hearing.

Method: Adopting a phenomenological research design, semi-structured online interviews were conducted using Zoom and WhatsApp with nine participants who have siblings with hearing loss.

Results: Hearing loss may significantly impact the normal hearing sibling's quality of life, affecting their psychological and social well-being, familial and peer relationships and overall experiences. Personal development, independence, maturity and closer sibling bonds were some of the positive influences reported by the participants. Attendance to aural rehabilitation therapy sessions, knowledge of hearing loss, personalities and household living arrangements positively influenced the relationship between siblings. The lack of attendance to aural rehabilitation sessions resulted in communication difficulties between siblings.

Conclusion: There is a need to include siblings in aural rehabilitation and family engagements related to the child with hearing loss to provide a holistic and more effective rehabilitation and adjustment process.Contribution: This study aimed to improve family-centred intervention as it is focussing on the siblings' perspectives of the hearing loss. Furthermore, previous studies have generally focussed on adults and not much research has been conducted surrounding the sibling relationship.

听力损失对兄弟姐妹关系的影响:正常听力兄弟姐妹的观点。
背景:兄弟姐妹关系是生活中最长久的关系之一,有助于个人的社会和情感发展。然而,如果一个兄弟姐妹有听力损失,这种关系可能会受到影响。目的:本研究通过了解听力正常的兄弟姐妹的观点,探讨听力损失对兄弟姐妹关系的影响。方法:采用现象学研究设计,使用Zoom和WhatsApp对9名有听力损失兄弟姐妹的参与者进行半结构化在线访谈。结果:听力损失可能会显著影响听力正常的兄弟姐妹的生活质量,影响他们的心理和社会幸福感、家庭和同伴关系以及整体体验。参与者报告的一些积极影响因素包括个人发展、独立性、成熟度和更亲密的兄弟姐妹关系。参加听力康复治疗、了解听力损失、性格和家庭生活安排对兄弟姐妹之间的关系产生了积极影响。由于没有参加听力康复课程,导致兄弟姐妹之间的沟通困难。结论:有必要让兄弟姐妹参与听力康复和与听力损失儿童相关的家庭活动,以提供一个全面、更有效的康复和调整过程。贡献:这项研究旨在改善以家庭为中心的干预措施,因为它关注的是兄弟姐妹对听力损失的看法。此外,以前的研究通常集中在成年人身上,对兄弟姐妹关系的研究并不多。
