Parental perspective Focus on universal neonatal hearing
screening (UNHS) Acceptability of screening techniques and
protocols Attitudes and preference Anxiety due to false positive screens

Acceptability of screening techniques and protocols AABR, OAE Two-stage screening approach Results 100% accurate? Results sensitive to equipment, tester’s
training and ongoing quality control

Attitudes and preference Watkin 1998 --- 97% considered
worthwhile Hergils 2000 --- 95% positive attitude Bailey et al 2002 --- only 0.4% refused
screening Ng et al 2004 --- 91% considered desirable

UNHS in Hong Kong Hospital-based
Pilot in several hospitals 2 stage, AABR, first screening before hospital
discharge
Maternal and Child Health Centre-based (MCHC-based) Service covered all MCHC 2 stage, OAE, first screening within the first month
of age

Parental anxiety/ negative emotions Positive predictive value: 2.2 to 11.7% (US
Preventive Task Force Review on UNHS Literature 2000)
High false positive rate causing parental anxiety/ negative emotions
![Page 11: Neonatal Hearing Screening Parental Perspective: AABR Vs OAE, Attitudes and Anxiety by Pak Ng Duchess of Kent Children’s Hospital Advances in Deafness](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cb85503460f9497ed18/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Findings from studies mixed Newborn screening of phenylketonuria,
hypothyroidism, Duchenne muscular dystrophy and cystic fibrosis indicated prolonged parental anxiety (Fyro 1987, Smith 1990, Tluczek et al 1992)
Tharpe 1999, reported no differences in parental stress (control and referred gp)
![Page 12: Neonatal Hearing Screening Parental Perspective: AABR Vs OAE, Attitudes and Anxiety by Pak Ng Duchess of Kent Children’s Hospital Advances in Deafness](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cb85503460f9497ed18/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Findings from studies mixed Kennedy 1999, reported similar anxiety
(screened and not screened gp) Clemens et al 2000, reported 3-13% having
residual negative effects Weichbold et al 2001, 14% of families
reported some concern Poulakis et al 2003, some mild anxiety
remained even after a final normal result

Local pilot study Questionnaires given to parents prior to
diagnostic hearing test Results eventually found to be false positive Three Categories
Hospital-based n=35 MCHC-based n=57 Control n=42, passed hearing screening at hospital,
and questionnaires reply through phone interviews

Local pilot study (contd)
Parameters Anxiety/ negative emotions score Knowledge on hearing developmental
milestones/ hearing loss score First baby? Parental education level
![Page 15: Neonatal Hearing Screening Parental Perspective: AABR Vs OAE, Attitudes and Anxiety by Pak Ng Duchess of Kent Children’s Hospital Advances in Deafness](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cb85503460f9497ed18/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Sample questions (Anxiety) 10 questions (Ref: PSI, Abidin 1995) Parents indicated how frequently each
statement occurred on a 6-pt scale from “never” to “constantly” after screen fails
E.g. You were anxious about child’s hearing.
E.g. You were bothered by things usually that didn’t bother you
![Page 16: Neonatal Hearing Screening Parental Perspective: AABR Vs OAE, Attitudes and Anxiety by Pak Ng Duchess of Kent Children’s Hospital Advances in Deafness](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cb85503460f9497ed18/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Sample questions (Anxiety) contd E.g. You did not feel like eating; your
appetite was poor E.g. Your sleep was restless
![Page 17: Neonatal Hearing Screening Parental Perspective: AABR Vs OAE, Attitudes and Anxiety by Pak Ng Duchess of Kent Children’s Hospital Advances in Deafness](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cb85503460f9497ed18/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Sample questions (Knowledge) 10 questions Scored one pt if answered correctly E.g. By what age do you think a baby will
quiet and listen to familiar voice? E.g. By what age do you think a baby will
respond to simple words, such as his or her name, “bye-bye”, and “no”

Sample questions (Knowledge) contd E.g. List one possible reason why a normal
ear may fail the hearing screening.

Results contd Correlation significant (p<0.05) between Anxiety
Score and Knowledge Score for both Hospital- and MCHC-based Groups
Anxiety Score of Hospital-based Group significantly higher (p<0.05) than that of Control
Anxiety Score of MCHC-based Group significantly higher (p<0.05) than that of Control
No difference between Anxiety Scores of Hospital- and MCHC-based Group
![Page 21: Neonatal Hearing Screening Parental Perspective: AABR Vs OAE, Attitudes and Anxiety by Pak Ng Duchess of Kent Children’s Hospital Advances in Deafness](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cb85503460f9497ed18/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Results contd Correlation significant (p<0.05) between
Anxiety Score and whether child is first baby
No correlation among Anxiety Score, Knowledge Score and Parental Education Level

Summary Both AABR and OAE acceptable to parents in 2-
stage UNHS Parental attitudes positive to UNHS Both Hospital-based and MCHC-based settings
acceptable to parents in Hong Kong? Further study suggested
Findings from studies evaluated parental anxiety/negative emotions mixed, further study suggested
