Objective Encountering hearing loss (HL) in a child may harm the mother-child relationship and the mother’s psychological wellbeing (PWB). Early interventions for children with HL should also take into account the potential harm to mothers. Faranak parent-child mother goose program (P-CMGP), derived from P-CMGP, is used for children’s speech and language development and the PWB of mothers. This study assessed the effects of Faranak P-CMGP on the PWB in mothers of children who are deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) under 6 years old.
Materials & Methods In this quasi-experimental study with a pre-test, post-test and follow-up design, subjects were recruited from two family and DHH child centers in two cities of Bushehr Province in Iran. They were selected through convenience sampling and divided randomly into the intervention and control groups. Overall, 53 mothers of children with DHH (27 in the intervention group and 26 in the control group) were included in this study. The intervention group participated in 30 weekly sessions (one-hour duration) of Faranak P-CMGP. The control group received their routine care. The Persian version of the Ryff PWB scale was used to measure 6 aspects of wellbeing. 
Results Statistically significant differences were found in the mean score of PWB between the mothers of the intervention and control groups (P<0.001). The intervention led to a significant improvement in the PWB of mothers of DHH children as well as in 6 wellbeing dimensions: self-acceptance, positive relation with others, autonomy, environmental mastery, purpose in life, and personal growth (P<0.001 in all instances) in the post-test and follow-up.
Conclusion The results demonstrated the statistically significant and positive effect of the Faranak P-CMGP on the PWB of mothers of DHH children. Considering the remarkable effect size (54%) obtained from Faranak P-CMGP and its easy application, it can promote the PWB of mothers and enhance mother-child relationships alongside early intervention rehabilitation programs for children with hearing loss.
