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.
