Externalizing behavior in deaf children causes many psychological problems for their parents. Aggression and rule breaking behaviors in children with severe hearing loss may cause psychological problems in parents and in managing children's behavior. Consequently, the present study aimed at investigating the effect of parental behavioral training of mothers on reducing the externalized behaviors (aggression and rule breaking behavior) of their 9- to 10- year old children with severe hearing loss. This was an experimental study with pretest, posttest, and a control group. The research population included all students with severe hearing loss and their mothers. Thus, 30 mothers whose children had the most severe hearing loss were selected as our main sample among 80 mothers who had completed the Child Behavior Checklist. Then, they were placed into the experimental (n=15) and control groups (n=15) after being matched based on age, educational level, and socioeconomic status. The research tool was Child Behavior Checklist-Persian Version. The parental behavior training was provided for the experimental group in nine 90- minute sessions. The results of the present study indicated the effectiveness of experimental treatment on decreasing the aggressive behaviors of children of mothers in the experimental group compared to mothers of the control group (p=0.001). Moreover, the results revealed a decrease in rule breaking behaviors (p= 0.007) in children of mothers of the experimental group compared to mothers of the control group. Parents' behavioral training is important in decreasing the aggressive and offensive behaviors in children with severe hearing loss who are at risk of behavioral problems. Furthermore, some research has highlighted the necessity of such trainings for parents of these children. Thus, the present study, emphasizing the importance of childhood problems, found that mothers' behavioral training could prevent behavioral problems of school-aged children with hearing loss and reduce the recurrence of such problems.
聋儿的外化行为给他们的父母带来了许多心理问题。重度听力损失儿童的攻击性行为和违反规则行为可能会给父母带来心理问题，也给管理孩子的行为带来困难。因此，本研究旨在调查对母亲进行父母行为训练，对减少9至10岁重度听力损失儿童的外化行为（攻击性行为和违反规则行为）的效果。这是一项采用前测、后测和对照组的实验研究。研究总体包括所有重度听力损失学生及其母亲。因此，在80名完成儿童行为量表的母亲中，选择了30名孩子听力损失最严重的母亲作为主要样本。然后，根据年龄、教育水平和社会经济地位进行匹配后，将她们分为实验组（n = 15）和对照组（n = 15）。研究工具是儿童行为量表-波斯语版。为实验组的母亲提供了9次每次90分钟的父母行为训练课程。本研究结果表明，与对照组母亲相比，实验组母亲接受的实验性治疗在减少孩子攻击性行为方面具有有效性（p = 0.001）。此外，结果显示，与对照组母亲相比，实验组母亲的孩子违反规则行为有所减少（p = 0.007）。父母行为训练对于减少有行为问题风险的重度听力损失儿童发生攻击和冒犯行为非常重要。此外，一些研究强调了对这些孩子的父母进行此类训练的必要性。因此，本研究强调儿童问题的重要性，发现母亲的行为训练可以预防学龄期听力损失儿童的行为问题，并减少此类问题的复发。
