Abstract

The impact of a Selective Counselling Program on the quality of psychological life of seven female university students with motor disabilities was determined. Subjects aged 18-25 (22.8 ±1.24) were students at King Abdul Aziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Ryff’s Scales of Psychological Well-Being were used to observe the variations in the different levels of Psychological Well-Being of the students using the following protocol: Evaluation of the initial levels; evaluation after 6 weeks with 12 sessions (two sessions per week) of 60-90 minutes each, and follow-up evaluation two months later. Results were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. The sample’s quality of psychological life showed positive effects with improvements. This study emphasizes the need for Selective Counselling Programs for subjects with motor disabilities, to help them better integrate into society and improve their psychological quality of life.
