      ab: Purpose: This study aimed to investigate family resilience--defined as the capacity of a family to harness its collective strengths and resources to recover from and adapt to significant adversities or crises effectively--in primary care- givers of children who are deaf and hard of hearing (cDHH) and its association with quality of life, life satisfaction, perceived social support, and loneliness. Method: The study involved 108 primary caregivers of cDHH and 139 primary caregivers of children with normal hearing. Participants underwent psychometric evaluations including the Family Resilience Scale, World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment--Brief Form, Satisfaction with Life Scale, UCLA Lone- liness Scale, and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. Results: Significant differences were found in almost every scale and its subdi- mension between the two groups (p < .05). Correlation analysis revealed signifi- cant correlations between all scale total scores for both groups (p < .05, .153 < / r / < .737). Quality of life was found to be a significant predictor of family resil- ience, F(1, 139) = 41.824, R2 = .279, B = 0.495, t = 6.467, p < .001. Conclusions: Our study highlights the significant impact of having cDHH on caregivers' family resilience, quality of life, life satisfaction, feelings of loneliness, and perceived social support. The results underscore the importance of enhanc- ing caregivers' quality of life as a potential strategy to improve their family resil- ience. Further research is needed to understand the complex interplay of factors influencing these outcomes.
