Abstract

The aim of this study was the effectiveness of reality therapy and positive thinking training on self-disability and negative problem orientation, with a moderating role in blind high school students in Ardabil. The research method was quasi-experimental with pre-test-post-test design and follow-up. The statistical population consisted of blind male and female high school students in Ardabil (academic year 1399). Sixty-six volunteers were purposefully selected by random sampling in two experimental groups and one control group (22 people in each group). Intervention training was considered for the reality therapy group for 10 sessions and positive thinking for 8 sessions. Absolute blindness and education in secondary school were considered as entrance criteria and not being under the supervision of a psychiatrist, not taking medication and not attending more than 3 sessions were considered as exit criteria. Data were collected through a questionnaire of self-disability and negative orientation to the problem. Multivariate analysis of covariance and Beferroni post hoc test using SPSS 21 software were used to analyze the data. Findings indicated that positive-thinking therapy intervention and reality-therapy resulted in differences between the experimental and control groups with a gender-modulating role in self-disability and negative orientation to the problem, which was persistent in the follow-up period (P <0.05). It can be concluded that reality therapy and positive thinking training is effective in improving the condition of the experimental group in the field of self-disability and negative orientation to the problem, so its use is emphasized in blind students..
