摘要
Objectives: A great deal of literature documents the significant demands, both physical and psychosocial, that care partners experience when providing care to persons with a range of health conditions. There is, however, far less research available on care partners of adult persons who are d/Deaf or hard of hearing (d/DHH). In response to this gap, the authors developed measures of d/DHH stigma among care partners as part of the work of the Lancet Commission on Hearing Loss' Measures, Models, and Stigma Reduction Subgroup. The measures examined in this article are part of a larger set of parallel measures to enable comparison of stigma measurement across groups.Design: The present study describes the preliminary validation of five stigma scales specifically tailored for use to assess the prevalence and effect of stigma on the care partners of adult people who are d/DHH in the United States. Care partners in this context are defined broadly and can include spouses, partners, adult children, siblings, and friends of persons who are d/DHH. The scales describe the care partner's own assessment of how the person who is d/DHH experiences and perceives stigma as well as the care partner's own internalized, experienced, and perceived stigma as a result of their association with a person who is d/DHH. This latter set of three scales describes secondary stigma, or the stigma a person experiences related to their association with a member of a stigmatized group. Measures were developed through a process that included a literature review, Delphi groups with people who became d/DHH after they developed spoken language, cognitive interviews, and a pretest. An online, self-administered preliminary validation survey was conducted with 151 care partners.Results: Results support the internal reliability of each of the five stigma scales (ordinal alpha's all greater than 0.9) and that each scale is assessing a single factor.Conclusions: Additional testing is needed to confirm the validity of these measures. After further validation, they can be used to assess the prevalence and effect of stigma on care partners of persons who are d/DHH and to evaluate the success of interventions developed to address stigma and its effects both on the care partner and the person who is d/DHH and receiving the care.
