Abstract：
Millions of people worldwide suffer from hearing loss, a common sensory condition. However, new developments in cochlear implants have drastically transformed children\'s lives. However, there is still much to learn about the complex effects of cochlear implant interventions on children\'s lives and the unique difficulties experienced by Nepalese families. This study aims to comprehensively evaluate parents\' perspectives regarding the quality of life of children with cochlear implants in Nepal. This study utilized the \'Children with Cochlear Implants: Parental Perspectives\' (CCIPP) questionnaire, focusing on parents\' viewpoints to assess the quality of life of Nepalese children with cochlear implants. A purposive sampling approach encompassed 22 families who completed the questionnaire. The study showed good parental ratings; the mean overall quality of life score was more than three (out of five), indicating significant gains following cochlear implantation. The greatest scores were for communication abilities, but issues with the implantation procedure and educational components persisted. A strong relationship existed between communication and several quality-of-life dimensions, highlighting communication\'s critical role in improving social interactions, well-being, and self-reliance. From the viewpoint of the parents of Nepalese children with cochlear implants, the current research represents a significant change in our knowledge of their quality of life. Even though there have been significant gains, targeted interventions are necessary to address post-implantation problems and educational challenges. The study recommends customized support networks and academic achievements to help Nepal\'s children with cochlear implant treatments.
摘要：
全世界数百万人患有听力损失，一种常见的感官状况。然而,人工耳蜗的新发展极大地改变了儿童的生活。然而,关于人工耳蜗干预对儿童生活的复杂影响以及尼泊尔家庭经历的独特困难，还有很多需要了解的地方。这项研究旨在全面评估父母对尼泊尔人工耳蜗植入儿童生活质量的看法。这项研究利用了“人工耳蜗植入儿童：父母观点”(CCIPP)问卷，关注父母的观点，以评估植入人工耳蜗的尼泊尔儿童的生活质量。目的抽样方法涵盖了完成问卷的22个家庭。该研究显示父母的评分良好；平均总体生活质量评分超过3分（满分5分），表明人工耳蜗植入后的显着增益。最高的分数是沟通能力，但是植入程序和教育方面的问题仍然存在。沟通和几个生活质量维度之间存在着密切的关系，强调沟通在改善社会互动中的关键作用，幸福,和自力更生。从尼泊尔人工耳蜗儿童的父母的角度来看，当前的研究表明我们对他们生活质量的认识发生了重大变化。尽管取得了巨大的进展，有针对性的干预措施对于解决植入后问题和教育挑战是必要的.该研究建议定制的支持网络和学术成果，以帮助尼泊尔的儿童进行人工耳蜗植入治疗。
