TY - JOUR T1 - Faranak Parent-Child Mother Goose Program: Impact on Mother-Child Relationship for Mothers of Preschool Hearing Impaired Children TT - JF - Iranian-Rehabilitation-Journal JO - Iranian-Rehabilitation-Journal VL - 14 IS - 4 UR - http://irj.uswr.ac.ir/article-1-553-en.html Y1 - 2016 SP - 201 EP - 210 KW - Parent–child relationship KW - Parent-Child Mother Goose Program KW - Faranak Program KW - Hearing impairment N2 - Objectives: The parent-child relationship is one of the strongest predictors of a child’s adjustment during adulthood. Many hearing-impaired children have normal hearing families, and this issue adversely affects the parent-child relationship; however, studies on interventions have focused on high-risk clinical specimens. Methods: The effect of the Faranak parent-child program (Persian version of parent-child Mother Goose program) on the quality of mother-child relationship has been evaluated in this study, which involved families having preschool, hearing-impaired children. A group of 14 mothers with hearing-impaired children participated in this 12-week program. The control group received no training. Both groups were asked to complete the Gerrard parent-child questionnaire before and after the intervention program to assess their relationship with their children before and after the program. Results: The mothers who were part of the experiment group reported many positive changes in their relationship with the child during the program. Discussion: The Frank parent-child Mother Goose program could help families with hearing-impaired children in this 12-week community-based program, wherein parents learned skills that affect the relationship between mother and child.
