Let \(H^ 3(c)\) be a 3-dimensional manifold with constant sectional curvature \(c<0\). Let \(x: M\to H^ 3(c)\) be an immersion of a surface \(M\) with constant mean curvature \(H\). A domain \(D\subset M\) with compact \(\overline D\) is said to be strongly stable if for all \(f:\overline D\to R\), \(f\mid_{\partial D}=0\), \[ I_ D(f)=\int_{\overline D}(| \nabla f|^ 2-2(2c+2H^ 2-K)f^ 2) dA>0. \] In this paper the author shows that \(D\) is strongly stable if \(\int_{\bar D}(2c-K+2H^ 2)dA<2\pi\), \(H^ 2+c\geq0\); or \(\int_{\bar D}({2\over 3}c+{2\over 3}H^ 2-K)dA<2\pi\), \(H^ 2+c\leq 0\). This result generalizes the Theorem 2 of \textit{J. L. Barbosa} and \textit{H. Mori} [Yokohama Math. J. 30, 73-79 (1982; Zbl 0519.53053)].
