A child afflicted with facial deformities such as cleft lip and palate usually affects their parents, because of difficulties in nutrition, speech, aesthetics and social connections, and also imposing a lot of stress on them. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a happiness program on the perceived stress in the mothers of children with cleft lip and palate. This study was a quasi-experimental study in which 64 mothers of children with cleft lip and palate were divided by simple random sampling into intervention and control groups (n=64). The program of happiness training was implemented within 10 sessions and the questionnaires of demographics and Cohen perceived stress were filled out prior to and two months after the last session in intervention group. Data analysis was done using SPSS Ver.13. Independent t-test indicated a significant difference in the perceived stress mean score after training in the intervention and control groups. Also paired t-test indicated a significant difference in perceived stress mean score before and after training in the intervention group, but the difference was not statistically significant for the control group. Considering the effect of happiness program on reducing stress in the mothers of children with cleft lip and palate, it is recommended that this model can be used as an intervention in the maternal care for more involvement in the process of treatment and care of their child, in addition to reduce psychological problems in the parents.
患有唇腭裂等面部畸形的儿童通常会对其父母产生影响，这是因为在营养、言语、美观和社交方面存在困难，也给他们带来了很大压力。本研究的目的是调查幸福计划对唇腭裂患儿母亲感知压力的影响。本研究为准实验研究，通过简单随机抽样将64名唇腭裂患儿的母亲分为干预组和对照组（n = 64）。幸福训练计划在10次课程内实施，干预组在最后一次课程之前和之后两个月填写人口统计学问卷和科恩感知压力问卷。使用SPSS Ver.13进行数据分析。独立t检验表明，干预组和对照组训练后感知压力平均得分存在显著差异。配对t检验表明，干预组训练前后感知压力平均得分存在显著差异，但对照组差异无统计学意义。考虑到幸福计划对减轻唇腭裂患儿母亲压力的作用，建议该模式可作为产妇护理的一种干预措施，以便她们更多地参与孩子的治疗和护理过程，同时减少父母的心理问题。
