Abstract

In this study, we investigate the effectiveness of compassion-focused Techniques integrated Mobile Technology implemented to improve the sense of coherence among visually impaired students. The study sample comprised six students (three males and three females) with an average age of 14.30 years and a standard deviation of 1.06. study tools included a sense of coherence scale developed by Al Sadiq and Abbady (2020) and a compassion-focused therapy program specifically designed by the researchers. The results showed statistically significant differences in the average ranks of visually impaired students in the experimental group between pre-measurement and post-measurement on the Sense of Coherence Scale, favoring the post-measurement after the implementation of the therapeutic program. No statistically significant differences were found in the average scores of visually impaired students in the experimental group between post-measurement and follow-up measurements on the Sense of Coherence Scale after implementing the therapeutic program.
