فاعلية برنامج قائم على اليقظة الذهنية موجه للأمهات ذات التعلق غير الآمن لتنمية التفاعل الاجتماعي لدى الطفل التوحدي

Abstract

The study aimed to design a mindfulness-based training program based on Langer's Theory, targeted at mothers with insecure attachment to enhance the - social interaction of a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The researcher adopted a single-case methodology using an (A-B) design to measure time series, as it is one of the experimental clinical methods that study phenomena from the onset of symptoms to the stage of psychological intervention. The program was applied individually to two participants who had insecure attachment with their children diagnosed with (ASD). Tools selected according to the study's requirements were used, including the Acceptance and Action Scale, Cognitive Fusion Scale, Mindful Awareness Attention Scale, Social Interaction Rating Scale, a comprehensive psychological examination process, functional analysis, and a comprehensive psychological report of the participants. Data were processed using SPSS v21, employing methods such as autocorrelation and partial correlation, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and simple regression analysis in time series. Clinical significance, statistical significance of gain ratios, and practical significance of effect size were calculated. The study's results indicated the effectiveness of the experimental program. It was found that the more the mothers with insecure attachment were exposed to the mindfulness-based training program, the more the - social interaction of a child with (ASD) improved after each time lagperiod Log. This was confirmed through the calculation of autocorrelation in time series and clinical significance. The results highlighted the effectiveness of the mindfulness-based training program in enhancing the social interaction of a child with (ASD) across different basic processes, as indicated by the( one-way ANOVA) and statistical significance of gain ratios. Additionally, the study concluded that social interaction of a child with (ASD) increased as the mothers with insecure attachment repeated the mindfulness-based training program over time, demonstrated by the practical significance of effect size.
