ABSTRACT

This study is intended to explore what is the intrinsic meaning of the parenting experience and the expectation about the hearing impairment children through in-depth interview with six mothers who have elementary children wearing a cochlear implants on a basis of phenomenological analysis. Furthermore, We tried to find out what kind of implication would be provided by the results of this research in terms of the education and rehabilitation of the hearing impairment children. The following is a summary of the research. First, We categorized the mothers’ recognition about the parenting experience into three phases which are the amount of pain who underwent during the whole process of expecting and giving a birth of a hearing impairment child, blaming themselves for the disabilities of their child, embracing the fact. These processes led to make them have indomitable and challenging spirits and form a cycle as well that eventually produces the positive rearing attitude for their children. Second, We categorized the process of expectation that mothers have about their hearing impairment children into two phases based on positive rearing experience of the participants which are demutization, school education.
