المشكلات السلوكية والانفعالية وعلاقتها بالتوافق النفسي لدى عينة من طلبة ذوي الإعاقة البصرية في معهد عمر بن الخطاب للمكفوفين في سلطنة عمان
The current study aims at identifying the levels of behavioral and emotional problems and the levels of psychological compatibility as well as investigating the relationship between them among a sample of students with visual impairment at Omar bin Al-Khattab Institute for the Blind. The relational descriptive approach is used to achieve the objectives of the study, while research questions are answered based on the scale of behavioral and emotional problems of visually impaired individuals developed by Salha (2007) and the psychological compatibility scale prepared by Wafi (2006). The study finds that the most behavioral and emotional problems among students with visual impairment are the problems of fear and anxiety, followed by the problem of self-affirmation and that their level of psychological compatibility is high. Results show that there is a positive inverse correlation relationship with statistical significance at the level of significance (α = 0.01) between the level of behavioral and emotional problems and the psychological compatibility. There are no statistically significant differences at the level of (α ≤ 0.05) in the level of behavioral and emotional problems due to the two variables (gender and age groups), except for dependency problems, hostility, fear and anxiety, and self-affirmation in favor of the age group (15-17 years), and the problem Skepticism in favor of the age group (18-20 years). There is an absence of statistically significant differences at the level of significance (α ≤ 0.05) between males and females in the level of psychological compatibility, and a presence of differences in the level of psychological compatibility due to variable age groups (18-20 years). The study concludes that behavioral and emotional problems can be predicted in the psychological compatibility of students with visual impairment at the Omar bin Al Khattab Institute for the Blind.
