Abstract: (3533 Views)

The aim of this study was to investigate the predictors of quality of life and psychological well-being of mothers of students with intellectual disabilities mediated by mothers' mindfulness. In this descriptive-correlational study, 298 students (out of 878 students) from primary schools with students with intellectual disability in Golestan province, in the academic year 2019-2020, were selected by multi-stage cluster sampling. The instruments used in the study were: The Rutter children’s behavior questionnaire, Matson’s social skills scale, Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, World Health Organization Quality Of Life, and Ryff Psychological Wellbeing Scale. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation test and structural equation modeling. The results showed that here is a significant positive correlation between social skills and mindfulness with quality of life and psychological well-being. There is a significant negative correlation between behavioral problems and quality of life and psychological well-being. The mediating role of mindfulness in relation to social skills and behavioral problems with quality of life and psychological well-being was also confirmed (P <0.01). Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that increasing social skills and reducing students' behavioral problems in school improves the quality of life and psychological well-being of their mothers.
