Research about Parents of Children with Cochlear Implants: A Scoping Review
Kecman, Emily
Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, v27 n3 p214-233 Jul 2022
Parents of children who are deaf or hard of hearing have long attracted interest from researchers, though, since the 1990s, published research about this population has increasingly gravitated toward issues surrounding pediatric cochlear implantation. This scoping review was undertaken to map the nature, extent, and range of three decades of research about parents of children with cochlear implants, and reports on (1) publication characteristics, (2) sampling characteristics, and (3) study design characteristics within 80 peer-reviewed articles published between 1990 and 2020. The results indicate several gaps and gluts within the field, including a lack of diversity within (and detail about) study samples, a disproportionate focus on evaluating parents' personal characteristics and (presupposed) psycho-emotional problems, and a scarcity of participatory or co-constructed projects. The results may inform future research, ensuring a wider range of perspectives and experiences are recorded and issues of highest priority and relevance to families are investigated.
