Aim: This study addresses the question does the deafness of a child modify its father’s stress coping styles and self-esteem, and relations occurring between these two traits. Author referred to the clinical knowledge that child’s deafness and its numerous consequences become tied with parents’ trauma caused by the diagnosis of deafness. Study took into account child’s sex, age and time elapsed since the diagnosis of deafness. Method: Study included 53 hearing fathers of deaf children (children’s age between 4 and 192 months) and 43 fathers of typically developing children in similar ages. Assessment of the stress coping styles had been performed using the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS), and the self-esteem using the Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale (SES) in Polish adaptation. Results: It turned out that fathers of deaf children are not significantly different from fathers of typically developing children in so far as to their styles of coping with stress in difficult situations and self-esteem. No relation between these variables and time elapsed from the diagnosis of deafness, child’s age and sex was shown. The only outcome obtained showed that the high self-esteem of fathers of deaf children is not a predictor for the task-oriented stress-coping style, as it is in the case of fathers of normally developing children. Fathers of deaf children, independent of their self-esteem, declare task-oriented style of coping with stress, which may be related to their child’s deafness. This is because on one hand they may undertake many tasks 36 © Nowa Audiofonologia® 2(1), 2013: 36-44
