Abstract
The problems in identifying effective strategies to improve the mental health and emotional well-being of hearing-impaired children and the emotional and psychological problems that most of these children face in their daily lives make clear the need for research and increased attention to this area. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of play therapy based on Axline's approach on the mental health and emotional well-being of primary hearing impaired children based on the ABC method. The current research was a semi-experimental design of single case type with baseline, intervention and follow-up design. Using available sampling method, 3 hearing impaired primary school children were selected from Pajhwok Family and Hearing Impaired Child Rehabilitation Center in Tehran. The measurement tools in this research were the children's mental health questionnaire by Jelink et al., the mental well-being questionnaire by Diener et al., and the record sheet. First, the questionnaires were administered 3 times with an interval of 3 days as a baseline. It was found that there is a relative stability in the grades. Then the intervention was implemented in 8 sessions. After each session, the participants were evaluated once and 2 weeks later, the same questionnaire was administered 3 times with a time interval of 2 days as a follow-up phase. The data were analyzed using Excel and SPSS 26 software and by intra-site and inter-site analysis. The results indicated that mental health and emotional well-being increased in each of the subjects after the intervention. 8 intervention sessions have been held, after which the frequency of variables was recorded in the session. According to the graphs, the increasing trend of the variables can be seen, and in the final part of the graph, 3 follow-up sessions, which are considered two weeks after the last intervention, still show the approximate stability trend of the variables.
