Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to identify perceived self-efficacy and its relationship with self-vitality and self-esteem among Deaf Students at Prince Ali Center for the Deaf in Jordan.

Methods: The study population consisted of all deaf students affiliated with Prince Ali Clubs for the Deaf in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, aged (16-18 years). A simple random sample of (151) male and female deaf students affiliated with Prince Ali Clubs for the Deaf in Jordan was selected during the academic year 2023/2024. Their consent was obtained to participate in this study as sample individuals. An appointment was also set with them at Prince Ali Clubs for the Deaf in the governorates of Irbid, Amman and Zarqa. Then, a sign language interpreter translated the texts of the tools and explained how to fill out the questionnaire after applying the study tools.

Results: The results showed that the level of perceived self-efficacy of deaf students was low with an arithmetic mean of (2.29±0.403), and the level of self-vitality of deaf students was average with an arithmetic mean of (3.22±0.424), while the level of self-esteem of deaf students was low with an arithmetic mean of (2.30±0.312). The study results also showed that there were no differences in the level of perceived self-efficacy, self-vitality, and self-esteem of deaf students attributed to the variable (gender).

Conclusion: The study results asserted the notion that perceived self-efficacy has a strong affinity with the level of self-vitality and the level of self-esteem among deaf students.
