Summary

The goal of this study is to better understand the experiences of adolescents with physical disabilities and assess the effectiveness of a Character Strengths Intervention (CSI) in improving their self-esteem, character strengths, and mental health. We will also compare these outcomes between two groups: one receiving the intervention and the other not receiving any treatment.

Main Research Questions:

How do adolescents with physical disabilities perceive their self-esteem, character strengths, and mental health, including psychological adjustment, psychological distress, psychological wellbeing, life satisfaction, and resilience? Can the Character Strengths Intervention (CSI) enhance the self-esteem, character strengths, and mental health (psychological adjustment and distress) of adolescents with physical disabilities?

Study Tasks:

Participants, who are adolescents aged 12-18 years, will be asked to provide informed consent to participate in the study.

They will complete questionnaires to assess their self-esteem, character strengths, and mental health as a pre-assessment.

Participants in the intervention group will undergo the Character Strengths Intervention (CSI), which includes activities like exploring character strengths, writing gratitude letters, and practicing fresh look meditation, among others.

After the intervention, participants will complete post-assessment questionnaires to measure changes in self-esteem, character strengths, and mental health.

There will be a control group that does not receive any treatment.

Comparison Group:

Researchers will compare the outcomes between the intervention group, who received the Character Strengths Intervention (CSI), and the control group, who did not receive any treatment. This will help us determine if the intervention had a significant impact on self-esteem, character strengths, and mental health outcomes for adolescents with physical disabilities.
