چکیده

مقدمه و اهداف
جوانان مبتلا به اختلال بینایی در مقایسه با جوانان بینا، استرس ادراک­ شده بیشتر و سازگاری اجتماعی کمتری را تجربه می ­کنند. از همین رو، پژوهش حاضر با هدف بررسی اثربخشی درمان مبتنی بر پذیرش و تعهد (ACT) بر کاهش استرس ادراک­ شده و افزایش سازگاری اجتماعی جوانان مبتلا به اختلال بینایی انجام گرفت.
مواد و روش ­ها
جامعه پژوهش حاضر شامل تمام جوانان نابینا و کم­ بینای شدید 20 تا 35 ساله شهر اصفهان بود که در سال 1397 در سازمان بهزیستی شهرستان اصفهان و انجمن ­های نابینایان دارای پرونده بودند. از بین این افراد، 40 نفر به روش در دسترس انتخاب و به­ صورت تصادفی در دو گروه آزمایش و کنترل جایگزین شدند. ابزار پژوهش شامل پرسش­نامه­ های استرس ادراک­شده کوهن (1983) و زیرمقیاس سازگاری اجتماعی پرسشنامه شخصیت کالیفرنیا (1939) بود. داده­ها با روش تحلیل واریانس با اندازه‌گیری مکرر و با استفاده از نرم­افزار SPSS-24 مورد تجزیه­ و­تحلیل قرار گرفت.
یافته ­ها
یافته‌ ها نشان داد که در مرحله پس­آزمون، گروه درمان مبتنی بر پذیرش و تعهد در مقایسه با گروه کنترل، نمرات کمتری در استرس ادراک­شده و نمرات بیشتری در سازگاری اجتماعی داشتند (0/01>p) و این الگو پس از گذشت یک ماه از درمان، همچنان باقی ماند (0/05>p).
نتیجه­ گیری
به نظر می­رسد که ACT، درمانی نویدبخش برای کاهش استرس ادراک­شده و افزایش سازگاری اجتماعی جوانان مبتلا به اختلال بینایی باشد.

چکیده [English]

Background and Aim: Visually impaired compared to sighted youths experience more perceived stress and less social adjustment. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) on reducing perceived stress and enhancing the social adjustment of youths with visual impairment.
Materials and Methods: The statistical population of the present study included all youth with blindness and severe visual impairment aged 20-35 in Isfahan having a dossier in the Welfare Organization of Isfahan county and blind associations. Among these people, 40 with visual impairment were selected using convenient sampling method and then randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The research instruments included Cohen’s Perceived Stress Questionnaire (1983) and the California Social Adjustment Questionnaire (1939). The data were analyzed running repeated measure ANOVA using SPSS, version 24.
Results: We found that in the post-test phase, compared to the control group, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy group had lower scores in perceived stress and higher scores in social adjustment (p < 0.01) and this pattern maintained one month after treatment (p < 0/05).
Conclusion: Therefore, it seems that ACT is a promising treatment for reducing perceived stress and enhancing the social adjustment of youths with visual impairment.
