Summary
This study tested a program designed to improve psychological hardiness (like resilience and commitment) in hard-of-hearing female students in Saudi Arabia. 25 students took part, with some receiving the program and others continuing their usual activities. The goal was to see if the program could help students feel more in control and better able to handle challenges.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
After administering the scale, a purposive sample of 25 HOH female students was selected to participate in the intervention program. These participants were divided into two groups: 15 students in the experimental group and 10 students in the control group. This selection was determined due to the sensitivity of the research topic and the practical difficulty of conducting the intervention with the entire target population.
