Background & Objective: Cochlear implants provide hearing effectively for patients with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss. Recent advances in cochlear implant technology and surgical procedures have enabled more patients to benefit from this technology, including patients with significant low-frequency acoustic hearing. However, children's hearing problems are not only a medical problem, but also a social problem and involve their families as well. Although the mothers of these children can cope with their child's hearing loss, most of them feel humiliated by the attitude of people and society towards their child's hearing loss. Some mothers of deaf and disabled children become socially isolated, limit their social relationships, and may be more vulnerable to environmental anxieties. There are various treatments for psychological problems. Emotion regulation training includes teaching skills that can help people control their emotions and control their emotions when they are under stress. Identifying correlates of mental status among mothers of children with special problems is important to support their own and their children's well-being. There is little research on the effectiveness of emotion regulation training and mothers' happiness, but no separate research has been done on the effect of emotion regulation training on the happiness of mothers with cochlear implants. Therefore, in this research, we want to investigate the effect of emotion regulation training on the happiness of mothers with children with cochlear implants.
Methods: This study was a semi-experimental type with pre-test and post-test with control group. Among the mothers of children with cochlear implants referred to hearing training clinics in Yazd city, 30 qualified volunteers were included in the study, and 15 of them were randomly assigned to the intervention group and 15 to the control group. . The happiness variable scores were compared using the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (Argill et al., 1989) before and after the emotion regulation training. Data analysis was done using covariance analysis. The significance level of the tests was 0.05.
Results: The data analysis showed that the variable score of happiness increased significantly in the intervention group and after receiving training compared to the control group (P=0.001).
Conclusion: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of emotion regulation training on the happiness of mothers with cochlear implants. The results of the present study showed that group emotion regulation training has a significant effect on the happiness of mothers with cochlear implants and can lead to improvement of happiness in these mothers. The results of this research are in line with Metin et al., who showed in a study that emotion regulation training improved mother-child interaction. It is also consistent with the research of Javadian et al., who stated that emotion regulation training reduces negative emotions in mothers with disabled children and leads to increased resilience in their mothers. The results of this study are in line with the study of Aryapouran et al., who stated that emotion regulation training reduces the symptoms of depression in mothers caring for children with intellectual disabilities. In explaining the results of this research, it can be said that emotional regulation training by helping to identify positive and negative emotions, learning strategies for accepting positive and negative emotions, correcting false beliefs about emotions and teaching correct beliefs, etc., lays the ground for identification, stability and management. The emotions and emotions of mothers with disabled children are provided and as a result, it leads to the reduction of their negative emotions. The results of the present study showed that 8 90-minute group emotion regulation training sessions lead to improvement in the happiness of mothers with cochlear implanted children, and it is possible to use group emotion regulation training as a complementary treatment along with other treatment methods to treat depression in mothers with cochlear implants.
