Background: The resilience of mothers of children with specific learning disorder tends to decrease due to the psychological pressures caused by their children's educational and behavioral challenges. One effective approach to enhancing resilience is Transactional Analysis, particularly emphasizing the "Adult Ego State," which helps with emotional regulation, logical information processing, and better stress management. Despite numerous studies on the impact of psychological interventions on resilience, few studies have specifically examined the effectiveness of Transactional Analysis focusing on the "Adult Ego State" in this context. Therefore, this study aims to fill this scientific gap.
Aims: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of adult ego state-based transactional analysis (TA) on resilience of mothers of children with specific learning disorder (SLD).
Methods: The research design of this study was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design and a control group. The statistical population consisted of all mothers who visited the Mahan Learning Disabilities Center in Tehran in 2023. A sample of 30 participants was selected, with 15 randomly assigned to the experimental group and 15 to the control group. The sampling method used was convenience sampling, and participants were selected based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. After administering the pretest, during which the mothers were asked to complete the Resilience Questionnaire (Connor & Davidson, 2003), the experimental group participated in eight two-hour training sessions based on the Transactional Analysis approach, with a focus on the Adult Ego State. The control group received no intervention. At the end of the training period, a posttest was administered to both groups. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS software, with covariance analysis being performed.
Results: The results of this study showed that adult ego state-based TA significantly (p<0.01) increased resilience and in mothers of children with SLD.
Conclusion: Training in Transactional Analysis (TA) enhances the resilience of parents of children with specific learning disabilities (SLDs). This training can serve as an effective intervention for reducing stress, improving parent-child relationships, and enhancing parents' coping skills. Therefore, implementing this program in counseling and educational centers can play a crucial role in providing psychological support to these parents.
