Objective: To describe health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes of school-going paediatric cochlear implant (CI) recipients in a South African cohort from the perspectives of parents. Design: Parents of school-going CI recipients completed the Children with Cochlear Implants: Parental Perspectives (CCIPP) CI-specific HRQoL questionnaire. The effect of different demographic variables on HRQoL outcomes was also determined. Study sample: The study sample included 54 parents of school-going (mean age = 12.2 years; SD = 3.6; range = 6.6–18.3 years) CI recipients with at least six months CI experience. Results: Children’s communication and general functioning with a CI received the most positive parental ratings. Among a number of confirmed statistically significant (p Conclusion: Parents assigned positive ratings to their child’s HRQoL. This exploration of children’s HRQoL related to their CIs contributes to evidence-based paediatric CI services that promote optimal psychosocial outcomes. |
