In the context of Arabic-speaking parents, there is a notable absence of survey instruments tailored to measure their satisfaction. This study seeks to address this gap by validating a survey designed to evaluate parental satisfaction with rehabilitation services (RSs) provided to Jordanian children who have received cochlear implants (CIs).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"sec002\"><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study included 92 participants and followed a four-step methodology: 1) a literature review and expert input; 2) cognitive interviews, pilot testing, and test-retest reliability testing; 3) data collection; 4) validity and reliability assessments.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"sec003\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The survey\u2019s validity was confirmed. Expert input and cognitive interviews improved content validity, and factor analysis established construct validity by revealing six factors explaining 82.33% of the variance in the survey scale. Convergent and discriminant validity were confirmed (composite reliability &gt;0.7 and average variance extracted value &gt;0.5). Cronbach\u2019s \u03b1 exceeded 0.8 for each factor and reached 0.855 for the total scale. Survey results showed reliance on speech therapy and audiology, varied rehabilitation durations, and progress. Parents expressed overall satisfaction, particularly influenced by technical quality and efficacy\/outcome dimensions. Parents\u2019 recommendations to enhance satisfaction with RSs included financial support, improved service accessibility, enhanced service delivery, specialized education, and increased public awareness.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"sec004\"><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study validates an Arabic satisfaction survey, emphasizing the significance of multidisciplinary, extended rehabilitation programs, skilled professionals, and positive outcomes. It emphasizes the necessity for improved access to specialized care and collaboration among healthcare, government, and media to shape parental perceptions of RSs. While the findings indicate overall satisfaction, they also reveal challenges faced by parents, highlighting the need for comprehensive support systems. These insights assist healthcare providers and policymakers in enhancing care quality and meeting the needs of CI children\u2019s families, thereby improving the RSs experience in Jordan.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0295939","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,18]],"date-time":"2023-12-18T18:31:41Z","timestamp":1702924301000},"page":"e0295939","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Reliability and validity assessment of a survey: Measuring satisfaction with cochlear implant rehabilitation services for children in Jordan"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3071-1474","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Rana","family":"Alkhamra","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3077-9310","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Hala M.","family":"Al-Omari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hanady A.
