| ABSTRACT |
|
This study analyzed the psychological experiences of the patients with cochlear implantation using Giorgi's
phenomenological method. To conduct this study, the research conducted in depth interviews with 10 acquired hearing
impaired adults (aged 42-85) who have received cochlear implantation unilaterally or bilaterally. The researcher
recorded directly their narratives and transcribed their raw data. Data was analyzed by Giorgi's phenomenological data
analysis process and 156 concepts were identified and categorized into 45 subcategories and 13 primary categories.
These 13 primary categories were also described according to experiences before and after implantation. Primary
categories before implantation were as follows; No recognition about their bodies, disappointment, independence,
extreme temperance by no communication, looking for an alternative method, avoidance of confront, social isolation,
elimination from center. Another categories after implantation were as follows; no satisfaction about the effect, humble
attitude, self integration, family support, sharing the experiences of overcoming disableness. Following these results,
the researcher suggested that an existential program for these acquired hearing impaired people would be needed and
family should be involved in the recovering program for them. |
