Purpose: to investigate the relation between socioeconomic classification and perceived quality of life of people who have a relative with hearing loss. Methods: it is a quantitative and descriptive exploratory research developed with relatives of hearing impaired children and teenagers, users of Sistema Único de Saúde. The researchers applied Brazil Economic Classification Criteria, and Quality of Life WHOQOL-BREF surveys. All data were tabulated and statistically analyzed using the descriptive statistics and graphical analysis of the variables. Results: twenty relatives of hearing impaired patients took part in the research. When the responses for the Brazil Economic Classification Criteria survey were descriptively analyzed, it was found that most of the participants belong to the B2 and C1 classes, corresponding to 35% each. The smaller part of the sample is in the C2 class, corresponding to 10%, and 20% are in the B1 class. It was perceived a better quality of life in the social field (69.1) and a worse quality of life in the environmental field (55.1). Conclusion: the study showed that there was a relation between families' socioeconomic classification and perceived quality of life, because the lower the socioeconomic classification, the worse was the perceived quality of life in all areas except for the environmental field.
ResumoA família desempenha um papel fundamental na promoção da saúde de seus filhos. Em relação à deficiência auditiva, a interação entre a díade família-criança surda possibilita o adequado desenvolvimento linguístico, social e emocional da criança. Para isso uma boa qualidade de vida da família é essencial. O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar a percepção da qualidade de vida de familiares que possuem um integrante com deficiência auditiva e relacionar com a comunicação cotidiana. Participaram do estudo 20 familiares de crianças com deficiência auditiva que frequentam um centro de média complexidade de referência no Sistema Único de Saúde-SUS. Foram utilizados na pesquisa o questionário de qualidade de vida (WHOQOL-BREF) e "Aspectos Cotidianos que Interferem na Comunicação entre Familiares e Sujeitos com Deficiência Auditiva", elaborado pelas pesquisadoras. Houve correlação entre qualidade de vida e interferência na comunicação na díade família-criança surda, em todos os domínios do WHOQOL-BREF. Quanto maior a percepção no domínio físico, menores as dificuldades comunicativas na presença de ruído eletroeletrônico. Quanto maior o domínio psicológico, menor a interferência de eletroeletrônicos e de fala competitiva na comunicação. Quanto menor o domínio social, menor a interferência do ruído eletroeletrônico, fala competitiva e ausência de leitura orofacial na comunicação. Por fim, quanto maior o domínio ambiental, menor a interferência do eletroeletrônico na comunicação. Concluiu-se que investigar a qualidade de vida dos familiares pode auxiliar no planejamento e elaboração de estratégias terapêuticas, maximizando o bem-estar do familiar e da criança por meio de intervenções mais contextualizadas a realidade do paciente.

The greater the perception in the physical domain, the less communicative difficulties in the presence of electronics noise. The higher the psychological domain, the less interference from electronic and competitive speech communication. The less the social field, the less interference from noise electronics, competitive speech and absence of orofaci...
