Under diverse backgrounds, analyze difference of parental pressure and adaption as well as their correlation. The method of this study was questionnaire “A mother’s parental pressure and adaption with a hearing-impaired child’ whereas the subjects were 3-6 years old who had been officially identified hearing-impaired. They lived in South Taiwan (including Chia-I County and City, Tainan County and City, Kaohsiung County and City, and Pingtung County). The children were from early intervention institutes, schools for hearing-impaired, private or public kindergartens or special education classes. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, One-way ANOVA, and Pearson correlation. The main findings include： I. Among the parent pressure dimension, the highest pressure the mother felt is in terms of ‘nurture of the child’ followed by ‘learning environment’, ‘living adaption’, ‘social interaction’ and ‘parental & child interaction’. II. Regarding parental pressure adaption, the highest adaption is ‘parental & child interaction’ followed by ‘learning environment’, ‘living adaption’, ‘social interaction adaption’ and ‘nurture of the child’ III. Influenced by diverse backgrounds, a mother’s parental pressure varies in terms of child’s communication method, pretreatment education, preschool form, communication form between mother & child, and mother’s educational level. IV. Influenced by diverse backgrounds, a mother’s parental pressure adaption varies according to child’s age, child’s hearing impairment extent, communication form between mother & child, preschool form, mother’s hearing condition and her job. V. Regarding the correlation between parental pressure and the adaption, nurture of the child, a pressure factor, and nurture of the child adaption are significantly correlated. It indicates that more pressure on nurture of the child a mother felt, the higher adaption she did. Living adaption, another pressure factor, is correlated significantly with nurture of the child adaption and learning environment adaption. It manifests that the more stressful a mother felt for living adaption, the higher her parental pressure adaption was. According the main finding the study further provides some suggestions for child education teachers and parents as well as for future research.
