Mothers of children with cerebral palsy face problems such as anxiety and depression in taking care of their children. For this reason, they need interventions so that they can meet their needs while taking care of their child. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of dialectical behavior therapy on depression and anxiety of mothers of children with cerebral palsy. The study was semi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of this research included all mothers of children with cerebral palsy in Tehran in 1401. From among the target population, 20 mothers of children with cerebral palsy who have a case in Hayat Arghwani Support Service Charity Organization in Tehran using the available sampling method based on the inclusion criteria were selected as the sample size and divided into 2 experimental groups (10 people) and control (10 people) were randomly placed. At first, both groups were evaluated by Beck Depression Inventory (1967) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (1970). Dialectical behavior therapy sessions were conducted in 12 sessions of 90 minutes during 4 weeks on the experimental group. At the end, both groups were re-evaluated. Data were analyzed using covariance analysis. The findings of this research showed that dialectical behavior therapy has reduced depression (P<0.05) and anxiety (P<0.05) of mothers of children with cerebral palsy. According to these findings, experts can use Dialectical behavior therapy can take effective steps in improving the living conditions of children with cerebral palsy and their parents.

The present study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral group intervention on self-efficacy in hearing-impaired students with anxiety symptoms. The research is a quasi-experimental study that was conducted as a pretest-posttest with a control group. The statistical population included all deaf students of Bojnourd and Shirvan cities in 2021. The research sample included 24 anxious deaf students (12 people in each group) who were identified as having anxiety symptoms based on the Beck Anxiety Inventory (cut-off score of 26). Beck’s Anxiety Inventory (BAI, 1988) and Self-Efficacy Questionnaire for Children(SEQ-C, Muris, 2001) were used to collect data. The experimental group received cognitive behavioral group intervention for 12 sessions of 45 minutes once a week. The data were analyzed using multivariate covariance analysis. The results showed that cognitive behavioral group intervention effectively increased students' self-efficacy with anxious hearing loss (p<0.001). This finding states that group cognitive behavioral therapy can effectively improve hearing-impaired students' quality of life. It is recommended as a useful therapeutic intervention for them in welfare and educational centers.
