Abstract
The quality of parent’s life is an essential component for the
development of healthy atmosphere for the rehabilitation of children with
sensory disabilities. The study attempted to evaluate quality of parent’s life
having children with sensory disabilities. It is a descriptive study in nature.
Population of study is parents of children with sensory disabilities living in
Faisalabad. Sample of N=200 children with sensory disabilities (n=100
parents of visually impaired children and n=100 of parents of hearing
impaired children) is selected through Convenient sampling technique.
Parental age is 25-55 years and children age is among 6-15 years. Quality
of life BREF is used as instrument of study. Data collected through
instrument clearly demonstrated that parents who have children with
sensory disabilities have low quality of life as 95% parents responded at
neither satisfied nor dissatisfied. it is found out that there is no significant
difference in the quality of life of the parents on the basis of gender (mother
and father), age groups ( 26-55) and on the basis of category of disability of
child. It is concluded that parents having children with sensory disabilities
have low quality of life and their relation with the child, their age or
category of the child’s disability does not influence parents differently so
school administration should arrange workshops and seminars that bring
positive wellbeing of the parents having children with sensory disabilities.
On the basis of the findings of current study, it is strongly recommended that
Parents should visit special schools of their children to keep in touch with
the strengths and weaknesses of their child. And Governmental policies
makers should bring in further legislation to support family in regard to
healthcare for family members with a sensory disability.
