Effectiveness of Integrative Therapy on Psychological Hardiness Among Hard-of-Hearing Female Students
Saudi Arabia25 participantsStarted 2025-12-25
Plain-language summary
The goal of this clinical trial (quasi-experimental study) is to learn whether an integrative therapeutic program can enhance psychological hardiness among hard-of-hearing (HOH) female students in Saudi Arabia (Al-Ahsa Governorate). The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. What is the level of psychological hardiness among DHH female students in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia?
2. Are there statistically significant differences in the level of psychological hardiness among DHH female students attributable to the study variables (degree of hearing loss, grade level, hearing assistive device, communication method used, parents' hearing status, and type of educational environment attended)?
3. Are there statistically significant differences at the level of (α = 0.05) between the mean scores of the experimental group on the psychological hardiness scale in the pre- and post-measurements?
4. Are there statistically significant differences at the level of (α = 0.05) between the mean scores of the experimental and control groups on the post-measurement of the psychological hardiness scale?
Researchers will compare students who participate in the integrative therapeutic program (experimental group) with those who do not (control group) to see if the program leads to improved psychological hardiness.
Participants will:
Complete a psychological hardiness scale before and after the program Participate in the integrative therapeutic training sessions (experimental group only) Continue their regular educational activities without intervention (control group)

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
