The total number of participants in this study was (8), which represents the whole population of deaf students in the preparatory year at King Saud University.

The study used different instruments to measure level of stress and self-concept after ensuring the validity and reliability.

The study provides a set of recommendations that contribute to reducing stress as well as increasing positive self-concept among deaf students.
