Abstract

Objectives

This study investigated the effectiveness of a mindfulness-based program in improving self-regulation and attention in hard-of-hearing children.

Method

A quasi-experimental design was employed in Najran, Saudi Arabia. Participants were 28 hard-of-hearing children (mean age = 12.6 years, SD = 2.03 years) divided into an intervention group (n = 14) and a control group (n = 14). Pre- and post-intervention measures were collected using the Mindfulness Scale for Children and Adolescents, the Self-Regulation Scale, and the Attention Difficulties Scale. The intervention group received the Mindfulness Training Program, through 16 sessions that were applied in 2 months; the follow-up period was 3 months.

Results

A Wilcoxon signed-rank test revealed statistically significant improvements in mindfulness, self-regulation, and attention in the intervention group after the program and at the follow-up assessment (p < 0.01). The effect sizes, as measured by the rank-biserial correlation (r), were 0.86 for mindfulness, 0.71 for self-regulation, and 0.85 for attention, suggesting large effects of the intervention on these variables.

Conclusions

This study suggests that mindfulness-based interventions may be beneficial for hard-of-hearing children experiencing self-regulation and attention difficulties. However, limitations necessitate cautious interpretation of the results due to the small sample size and focus on boys in a single city.
