Abstract

The primary aim of the present study was to investigate parent cognitive satisfaction and demand by using a valid and reliable questionnaire developed for this purpose (Parent Cognitive Satisfaction and Demand Questionnaire with Neonatal Hearing Screening Program, PCSDQ-NHSP). About 1000 parents whose children received hearing screening participated in this study. The satisfaction questionnaire was found to be a useful instrument for identifying service shortfalls, and the routine use of the PCSDQ-NHSP in other neonatal hearing screening programs is recommended. Overall, parents focused their attention to the neonatal hearing screening results and had high levels of expectations. They also longed for more information about relevant knowledge. Screening ability differed in different areas of Guangdong province where grass-roots hospitals had poor ability to perform this well. More preappointment information leaflets or brochures should be sent to parents. Regular training for neonatal hearing screening test is needed in primary hospitals. We can establish a neonatal hearing screening network to link as many hospitals as possible, and develop a standardized neonatal hearing screening system.
