Abstract

Objectives

Specific learning disability (SLD) is one of the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders that leads to many psychological consequences for students with such disorders. The present study aimed to determine the effect of acceptance and commitment training programs on the level of academic stress and burnout in students with SLD.

Methods

This study was a quantitative research conducted with a pre-test/post-test quasi-experimental design and a control group. The research population consisted of female students with SLD in Tabriz, Iran, selected through random cluster sampling method. The data were collected using Gadzella’s Student-Life Stress Inventory (SLSI) and School Burnout Inventory (SBI).

Results

Multivariate analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. Given the results of the data analysis, the application of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) was seen to reduce the amount of academic stress and academic burnout in students with SLD. Since acceptance and commitment training can reduce academic stress and burnout in this group of students, it could be considered an effective intervention to reduce students’ psychological distress.

Conclusions

The present findings will pave the way for further research in the field of interventions associated with the psychological problems of students with SLD.

接受与承诺训练计划对特殊学习障碍学生学业压力和学业倦怠水平的影响

【摘要】目的特异性学习障碍(SLD)是最常见的神经发育障碍之一，会给学生带来许多心理后果。本研究旨在探讨接受和承诺训练对特殊学习障碍学生学业压力和倦怠水平的影响。方法采用前测/后测准实验设计和对照组进行定量研究。研究人群为伊朗大不里士地区患有SLD的女学生，采用随机整群抽样方法。数据采用Gadzella学生生活压力量表(SLSI)和学校倦怠量表(SBI)收集。结果采用协方差法对数据进行多因素分析。从数据分析的结果来看，接受与承诺疗法(ACT)的应用可以减少特殊学习障碍学生的学业压力和学业倦怠。由于接受承诺训练可以减轻该群体学生的学业压力和倦怠，因此可以认为是一种有效的减少学生心理困扰的干预措施。结论本研究结果为进一步开展与特殊障碍学生心理问题相关的干预研究奠定了基础。
