The birth of a disabled child can have severe negative effects on mothers; Because they have to fulfill more demands. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of positive thinking training on hope and life satisfaction in mothers with disabled children. The research method was quasi-experimental with pre-test, post-test and follow-up design and control group. The research sample consisting of 30 mothers with disabled children under the auspices of Shahinshahr Welfare Organization in 2016 was selected by purposive sampling and randomly divided into experimental and control groups. Participants completed the Hope Scale (Schneider et al., 1991) and Life Satisfaction Questionnaire (Diner et al., 1985) at the pre-test, post-test, and follow-up stages. Experimental group was trained for 8 sessions of 60 minutes per week in positive thinking training and the control group did not receive any training. Data analysis was performed using repeated measures analysis of variance. The results showed that in the variable of hope, time factor (p<0.05, F=16.907), group factor (p<0.05, F=19.864) and time and group interaction (p<0.05, F=17.996) and in life satisfaction variable, time factor (p<0.05, F=8.757), group factor (p<0.05, F=8.806) and time and group interaction (P<0.05, F=9.543) are significant that these findings indicate that there is a significant difference between the two groups in the three stages of research on the factor of hope and life satisfaction. Therefore, positive thinking training in psychological centers can be used as an effective treatment to improve the hope and life satisfaction of mothers with disabilities

Using the available sampling method and according to the number of variables and components, 230 people were selected as the sample group. Research tools for data collection included Gross Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (2003), Schneider Hope Questionnaire (1991), and Davis Empathy Communication Questionnaire (1983). Results: The results of data analysis showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between emotion regulation and hope (p<0.05). Also, the results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between emotion regulation and empathetic relationship (p<0.05). Discussion and conclusion: finally based on the results of regression analysis, the components of hope and empathetic communication were predicted based on the components of regulation.

The statistical population of the study consisted of all mothers of children with learning disabilities who lived in Sabzevar in between 2018 and 2019. They were selected according to eligibility criteria and assigned to experimental (n = 20) and control (n = 20) groups using random sampling. First, the pre-test using the hopes scale and Irrational Beliefs Life was conducted. Then the experimental group received self-compassion training for 10 sessions of 75 minutes, while the control group received no intervention.
