Results The analysis of the data will be conducted utilizing the generalized estimation equation, with a confidence interval set at 95%. Significant differences, both between and within groups, will be identified at a threshold of P&lt;.05. The findings of this study highlight the efficacy of a mobile educational program in enhancing mental health and preventing HIV within the deaf community. Furthermore, the outcomes of this research will augment existing knowledge regarding psychological distress, HIV prevention practices, and coping self-efficacy among individuals who are deaf. Conclusion The intervention group is expected to demonstrate significantly lower scores in psychological distress during both the immediate evaluation and the assessment conducted three months post-intervention, compared to the wait-list group. Additionally, the intervention group is anticipated to exhibit enhanced levels of HIV prevention practices and coping self-efficacy, resulting in a greater degree of adjustment.
