Research summary
The main aim of the project is to explore how caregivers of children with co-morbid deafness and mental health difficulties experience and cope with their child’s conditions. The project will take place in two stages. The first stage is designed to measure stress, coping and adjustment in caregivers of deaf and non-deaf children with mental health problems. The second stage aims to provide some contextual background to caregiver’s experiences of rearing a child with co-morbid deafness and mental health problems by conducting semi structured interviews.
