Abstract
ABSTRACT Gratitude skills training improves the forgiveness in mothers of students with visual impairment (VI). The current study aimed to explore the effects of gratitude intervention on forgiveness in mothers of students with VI. This research was a semi-randomized controlled trial design. Thirty mothers of students with VI were randomly chosen from Special School in Gachsaran, Iran. They were randomly replaced to treatment (n = 15) and control (n = 15) groups. The treatment group participated in nine-session 90-minute gratitude training, while the control group participated in general placebo sessions. Both groups responded to the Rye Forgiveness Scale (RFS) before and after the intervention. The results of the Univariate Analysis of Variance showed that the gratitude training significantly and positively influenced the forgiveness in the treatment group in the post-test (p < 0.001). The research suggests that gratitude training can promote forgiveness in mothers of students with VI. Results of this research increase the interest of parents of these students in gratitude training. Moreover, the gratitude skills intervention can be used as an intervention for improving forgiveness in mothers of students with VI.
