DEVELOPMENT OF A PARENTING STRESS MEASUREMENT TOOL FOR PARENTS OF CHILDREN WITH COCHLEAR IMPLANTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Parents of children with hearing loss who use hearing technology, be it hearing aids (ABD) or cochlear implants, are vulnerable to parenting stress. This study aims to develop a measuring instrument that can measure parenting stress in parents with children using cochlear implants in Indonesia. A total of 30 parents of children using cochlear implants were involved in this study. Parenting stress in children with hearing loss is reflected in three aspects, namely parental distress, parent-child dysfunctional relationship, and difficult child. Therefore, the development of measuring instruments is based on these three aspects. Based on the results of statistical tests, the internal consistency reliability was 0.92. Based on this study, the parenting stress measurement tool for parents with children using cochlear implants has met the requirements to be declared as a valid and reliable measuring instrument.
