POSITIVE PARENTING PROGRAM (TRIPLE P) IN IMPROVING SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING OF MOTHERS WITH DEAF CHILDREN

Subjective well-being is one indicator of an individual’s or a community’s quality of life. Individual life is said to have quality, not only in terms of economic freedom to choose and achieve what one desires, or in terms of social freedom to have the things one desires, but also in terms of individual sentiments of pleasure and displeasure, contentment, and discontent. If an individual frequently experiences happy feelings and achieves satisfaction in his life, this is evidence of subjective well-being. It is believed that moms of deaf children will achieve subjective well-being, allowing them to best cater for or service their children’s needs. The fact is that some mothers of deaf children are dissatisfied with their life in general. Mothers feel that their children become financial burdens to the family. The aim of the study was to see if the positive parenting program (Triple P) could improve mothers’ subjective well-being in children with hearing impairment. Mothers with hearing-impaired children who attended SLB B Yakut Purwokerto a total of 32 participants were the research subjects. The results of the subjective well-being scale’s difference power test reveal that there are seven invalid items/statements and ten valid items/statements, implying that the ten items/statements were employed to collect subjective well-being data. The t-test of pre-test to post-test results shows that the positive parenting program is successful in improving the subjective well-being of mothers who had deaf children.
