Abstract

هدفت الدراسة إلى التعرف على مدى فعالية برنامج قائم على نظرية العلاج بالقبول والالتزام في تحسين جودة الحياة والصمود النفسي لدى أمهات الطلاب ذوي اضطراب طيف التوحد ونقص الانتباه / فرط الحركة والإعاقة الذهنية ، وأجريت الدراسة على عينة أساسية بلغت 30  أم، وتم توزيع عينة الدراسة إلى (15) أم كمجموعة ضابطة، و(15) أم كمجموعة تجريبية، تراوحت أعمارهن ما بين 27 إلى 48 عامًا بمتوسط عمري 39.22 عامًا وانحراف معياري قدره 5.22 عامًا، وبعد ترجمة وتعريب مقياسي جودة الحياة والصمود النفسي والتأكد من الخصائص السيكومترية . تم اختيار عينة الدراسة الأساسية ومن ثم تطبيق البرنامج العلاجي لمدة شهرين متتالين، وبعد مرور شهرين من تطبيق البرنامج تم القياس التتبعي، وأظهرت النتائج وجود فروق ذات دلالة إحصائية بين التطبيق القبلي والبعدي للمجموعة التجريبية على مقياسي جودة الحياة والصمود النفسي في اتجاه القياس البعدي، كما اظهرت فروق بين المجموعتين الضابطة والتجريبية على القياس البعدي على مقياسي جودة الحياة والصمود النفسي في اتجاه المجموعة التجريبية، كما لم تكن هناك فروق جوهرية بين القياس البعدي والتتبعي لدى المجموعة التجريبية مما يعطي مؤشر على استمرار التحسن لحين التطبيق التتبعي بعد مرور شهرين.
