Abstract

Aim: The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of solution-focused therapy on self-efficacy and social anxiety of adolescents with low vision. This research was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test, post-test and follow-up design with control group.
 
Method: The statistical population included all adolescents with low vision in Yasouj city, 20 of them were selected from Shaghaygh school using convenience sampling method. They were randomly divided into two groups of 10 people and replaced in an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group participated in 8 sessions of solution-focused therapy, while the control group did not participate in these sessions. Participants were evaluated using Smith and Betz’s social self-efficacy scale and Leibowitz’s social anxiety scale in the pre-test, post-test and follow-up stages. The data was analyzed using mixed variance analysis in SPSS software version 26.
 
Results: The results showed that the self-efficacy and social anxiety of the experimental group in the post-test and follow-up phases were significantly higher and lower than the control group, respectively (P=0.001), While there was no significant difference between the post-test and follow-up stages (P>0.05).
 
Conclusion: Considering that the solution-focused therapy improved the self-efficacy and social anxiety of adolescents with low vision in the post-test and follow-up phase. Therefore, planning to train solution-focused therapy plays an important role in improving self-efficacy and social anxiety of adolescents with low vision.
