Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of neurofeedback in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress in high school deaf girls.
Method: A total of 24 deaf female students were randomly assigned to experimental (n=12) and control (n=12) groups. The experimental group received 15 neurofeedback training sessions targeting the F3 and F4 regions. Both groups completed the DASS-21 questionnaire before and after the intervention..
Results: Multivariate analysis of covariance indicated significant reductions in depression (F = 15.680, p<.05), anxiety (F = 5.991, p<.05), and stress (F = 6.100, p<.05) scores in the experimental group compared to the control group.
Conclusion: Neurofeedback appears to be an effective intervention for improving mental health among deaf adolescents.

Abstract [Persian]
هدف: این پژوهش با هدف بررسی اثربخشی نوروفیدبک بر افسردگی، اضطراب و استرس در دختران ناشنوای دبیرستانی طراحی شده است. روشها: آزمودنیها 24 دانشآموز دختر ناشنوا بودند که به صورت نمونهگیری در دسترس انتخاب و به صورت تصادفی در دو گروه کنترل (12 نفر) و آزمایش (12 نفر) قرار گرفتند. گروه آزمایش تحت یک دوره 15 جلسهای نوروفیدبک (3 بار در هفته، هر جلسه 45 دقیقه برای گروه آزمایش در نقاط F3 و F4) قرار گرفتند. در پیشآزمون و پسآزمون، گروههای کنترل و آزمایش پرسشنامه استرس، اضطراب و افسردگی-21 (DASS-21) را تکمیل کردند. یافتهها: دادهها با نرمافزار spss16 تجزیه و تحلیل شد و نتایج تحلیل کوواریانس چند متغیره نشان داد که بین دو گروه در نمرات اضطراب (F = 5.991، p<0.05)، افسردگی (F = 15.680، p<0.05) و استرس (F = 6.100، p<0.05) تفاوت معناداری وجود دارد. نتیجهگیری: نتایج نشان داد که نوروفیدبک به طور معنیداری افسردگی، اضطراب و استرس را در دانشآموزان ناشنوا کاهش میدهد.
