Abstract

This study addresses the limited attention given to hearing siblings of individuals with deafness, a group that often remains overlooked within family support structures despite their critical roles. These siblings frequently experience emotional and social challenges as a result of the disproportionate focus placed on the needs of their deaf sibling, potentially impacting their well-being. This research aims to explore the lived experiences of hearing siblings and identify their specific needs for guidance and counseling support. Using a qualitative case study approach, the study involved four participants selected through purposive sampling, all of whom were actively engaged in their deaf sibling’s daily life. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. The analytical stages included verbatim transcription, open coding, theme categorization, and validation through member checking. The findings revealed five major themes: emotional burden, social challenges, diminished well-being, the urgent need for support, and perception of counseling. Participants described increased responsibility, feelings of neglect, stigma, and social isolation, all contributing to low self-esteem and psychological stress. Importantly, counseling was perceived positively as a “safe space,” but participants emphasized the need for counselors who are knowledgeable about deafness and sibling dynamics. The study recommends the development of tailored guidance and counseling programs that address the specific emotional, educational, and interpersonal needs of hearing siblings of deaf individuals. Additionally, it calls for greater public awareness and further longitudinal research to inform sustainable and inclusive support systems.

Abstract

This study examines prior research findings on the role of tax policy in economic stability, particularly in the contexts of crisis. Economic crises often spark debates about the effectiveness of tax policies—whether they serve as tools for recovery or exacerbate crisis conditions. Focusing on evaluating the impact of both expansionary and contractionary tax policies on economic stability during crises, this study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with the PRISMA approach to ensure replicability and transparency. Literature searches were conducted via the Scopus database, with inclusion criteria covering 20 studies published between 2019 and 2024. The selection process involved identifying, screening, and assessing relevant studies, emphasizing tax policies during economic crises. The findings reveal that tax policies have dual effects. On one hand, tax cuts and fiscal incentives can stimulate recovery by boosting consumption and investment. Conversely, ill-timed or poorly targeted tax hikes may deepen recessions by reducing liquidity and suppressing growth. The discussion highlights the need for responsive policy design tailored to economic conditions and coordinated with monetary measures. In line with public policy theory, particularly contingency theory, this study emphasizes that the effectiveness of tax policy is highly context-dependent and there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
