Negative responses to trauma disclosure are associated with acute PTSD symptoms; however, no relationship has been observed between positive responses to trauma disclosure and PTSD symptoms. General social support is linked to reduced PTSD symptoms. This study aims to examine the effect of trauma disclosure on resilience, with social support as a moderating factor in two groups: individuals with PTSD and trauma-exposed healthy participants (TEHC). We hypothesize that open discussions about trauma and resilience can mitigate the risk of developing PTSD.
This quantitative correlational study employed structural equation modeling to examine the relationships among variables in adults over 18 years old with trauma experience. A total of 473 individuals were recruited through convenience sampling, half of whom had PTSD. Participants completed questionnaires, including the Checklist of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Social Support Questionnaire, Trauma Disclosure Inventory, and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale.
Results The findings indicate that in individuals without PTSD, all variable relationships are significant (p < 0.05). In individuals with PTSD, only the effect of social support on resilience is significant (p < 0.05)
Early interventions for individuals with trauma experiences, alongside enhancing social support and creating safe spaces for trauma discussions, can effectively reduce the incidence of PTSD.

The COVID-19 pandemic led to the experience of high levels of stress and anxiety in nurses. The implementation of psychological training techniques can have a positive effect on their psychological outcomes. The purpose of this article is to review the studies conducted on the effects of psychological training techniques on the mental health of nurses.

The present article is a narrative review based on the information collected using the keywords stress, anxiety, resilience, COVID-19 pandemic and education in the Persian language and English databases such as SID and Magiran, PubMed, Web of Sciences, and Scopus from 2019 to 2023 and a total of 684 articles were found. Twenty seven articles were extracted from them. The inclusion criteria required studies to have full text available, experimental and semi experimental studies, and the use of a psychological training technique to improve resilience or reduce stress and anxiety in the test group.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a great impact on the physical and mental health of nurses. The use of psychological training techniques to improve resilience or reduce stress and anxiety helps nurses perform best in stressful situations while maintaining their mental health. The evidence shows that various educational techniques such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, or a combination of these techniques have improved resilience, and reduced stress and anxiety of nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Considering the existence and effectiveness of different training techniques, on the resilience, stress, and anxiety of nurses, it is necessary proper planning should be done to implement various training techniques to reduce the negative effects of the COVID-19.

Resilience potentially helps people overcome negative experiences and transform these experiences into positive ones. Considering the stressful nature of nursing, resilience is an important factor as a nurse's characteristic for success in this profession.

In this descriptive-cross-sectional study, 114 nurses working in pediatric and adult emergency rooms of Zahedan University of Medical Sciences hospitals were conducted in 2023. The data collection tool in this study includes two questionnaires of demographic information and resilience of Connor and Davidson. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics and inferential statistical tests at a significance level of P<.05.The mean overall resilience score was 66.4±15.76. According to the average and standard deviation of resilience scores, the clients were divided into three groups with low resilience (score less than 33.3), medium (33.6-3.6) and high resilience (above 66.6). The degree of resilience showed a significant relationship with the variables of work history, gender and marital status (P<0.05(

The results of this study and its comparison with other studies showed that the rate in emergency nurses is relatively low and has decreased in recent years. Considering the lowest level of resilience under the scales of control and spiritual influences, therefore, action in this regard is a priority.

Divorce is a stressful factor in families that can reduce self-efficacy and resilience in children and adolescents. Self-efficacy refers to an individual’s belief in their ability to manage situations, while resilience is the capacity to cope with difficult circumstances. Life skills training can serve as an effective intervention to enhance these abilities. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of life skills training on self-efficacy and resilience in children and adolescents of divorced parents.

This semi-experimental study was conducted using a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population included children and adolescents of divorced parents in Arsanjan, Iran, in 2023. Thirty participants were selected through convenience sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups (15 participants each). The experimental group received life skills training in 10 sessions, each lasting 90 minutes, held twice a week. The data collection tools included a demographic checklist, the Morris Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (2001), and the Ungar & Liebenberg Resilience Scale (2011). The data obtained from the questionnaires in the pre-test and post-test were analyzed using SPSS-26 software, and the research hypotheses were examined using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) at a significance level of p < 0.05.

The results showed that life skills training had a significant effect on the self-efficacy and resilience of children and adolescents of divorce (p<0.001). Additionally, life skills training had a significant impact on the dimensions of self-efficacy (social self-efficacy, academic self-efficacy, and emotional self-efficacy) and the dimensions of resilience (personal, relational, and contextual resilience) (p<0.001).

Considering the psychological and social harms caused by divorce, life skills training can be an effective preventive strategy to improve the mental health of children and adolescents of divorced families.

People with high resilience can easily tolerate pain and have less stress. This study aims to investigate the effect of the emotional freedom technique (EFT) on the stress and resilience of infertile women.

This quasi-experimental study was conducted from February to August 2023 on 98 women with infertility problems referred to two public and private clinics in Bandar Abbas, South of Iran. They were randomly allocated into two intervention and control groups on a 1:1 basis. Participants in the intervention group received the EFT at 4 training sessions with a 1-week interval. A sociodemographic form, Newton’s fertility problem inventory (FPI), and the Connor-Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISC) were completed before and after the intervention. Data analysis was performed in SPSS software, version 16 and independent and paired t-tests were used.

The mean score of FPI before and after the intervention were 168.06±34.06 and 134.59±26.02 in the intervention group, and 155.26±31.08 and 156.83±31.28 in the control group, respectively. After the intervention, the FPI score in the intervention group was significantly lower (P<0.001). The mean CD-RISC score before and after the intervention was 26.64±20.13 and 82.97±9.63 in the intervention group and 83.71±30.33 and 71.04±12.95 in the control group, respectively, indicating a significant increase in the resilience of the intervention group compared to the control (P<0.001). 

The EFT can reduce the stress of infertile women and increase their resilience. This cost-effective, safe, and easy method can be recommended by the medical staff to infertile women for better resilience and stress reduction.

Infertility can cause numerous psychological problems for infertile women and reduce their resilience and quality of life. The present study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of schema therapy on the resilience and quality of life of infertile women.

The present study is a quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test design with control and experimental groups. The statistical population of this study included all infertile women referring to the Hazrat Maryam Infertility Treatment Center in Sari and the Infertility Clinic of Imam Khomeini Hospital in Sari in 1401. The sampling method was purposive. From the aforementioned population, 30 samples were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria and then randomly assigned to the control and control groups (15 people in each group). The research instruments were the Conner and Davidson Resilience Scale questionnaires and the Quality of Life Questionnaire. The experimental group received 12 sessions of schema therapy based on the Young et al. (2003) treatment plan, and the control group did not receive psychotherapy during this period. After the sessions, the aforementioned questionnaires were administered again to both groups. The data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance.

In the intervention group, the mean and standard deviation of resilience in the experimental group at pre-test was 11.49±12.6 and at post-test was 43.56±7.23, and the mean and standard deviation of quality of life in the experimental group at pre-test was 13.52±18.8 and at post-test was 13.52±18.8 reached 63.02±9.83. However, no significant difference was observed in the control group. Therefore, schema therapy in the experimental group significantly increased the mean score of resilience and quality of life in infertile women compared to the control group (p<0.001).

It seems that schema therapy is effective in increasing resilience and quality of life in infertile women and it can be recommended as an effective intervention in improving resilience and quality of life in infertile women in counseling centers and infertility treatment centers.

The present study was conducted to investigate the the effectiveness of unified trans-diagnostic treatment on cognitive fusion and resilience of victims of bullying students. The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test and post-test design with a control group and a 2-month follow-up phase. The statistical population was formed by male students who were victims of bullying in the first year of secondary school in Najafabad city (Goldasht city) in the academic year of 2021-2022. The research sample consisted of 35 male students who were victims of bullying, who were selected in a purposeful way and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups (18 students in the experimental group and 17 students in the control group). Then, the experimental group received an unified trans-diagnostic treatment intervention for 10 weeks in a weekly session of 90 minutes. The applied questionnaires in this study included Bullying Victim Questionnaire (BVQ), Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ) and Resilience Questionnaire (RQ). The results showed that unified trans-diagnostic treatment has significant effect on the cognitive fusion (p<0001, Eta=0.62, F=55.74) and resilience (p<0001, Eta=0.62, F=54.82) of the cognitive fusion and resilience of victims of bullying students. According to the findings of the present study it can be concluded that unified trans-diagnostic treatment can be used as an efficient method to decrease cognitive fusion and increase resilience of victims of bullying students through Identifying emotions, teaching emotional awareness, cognitive re-evaluation, identifying patterns of avoiding emotions and examining behaviors caused by emotions.

Resilience is a key psychological construct that plays a crucial role in coping with workplace challenges and marital stress. Given its significance, identifying factors that predict resilience is essential for enhancing well-being in both professional and personal domains.

This study aimed to develop a resilience model based on cognitive flexibility and self-differentiation, with intimacy and marital adjustment as mediating variables.

The present study employed a quantitative, descriptive-correlational design. The sample consisted of married female nurses working in health centers and government hospitals in Karaj city during 2022, selected from a population of 2,938 nurses (400 participants) through multi-stage cluster sampling. Data were collected using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Dennis and Vanderwaal’s Cognitive Flexibility Scale, Granofsky's Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Bagarozi’s Marital Intimacy Scale, and the Locke-Wallace Marital Adjustment Scale. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 24 and AMOS version 26.

The indirect path coefficient between cognitive flexibility and resilience through marital intimacy (0.248) was found to be significant. Similarly, the indirect path coefficient between cognitive emotion regulation and resilience through marital intimacy (0.352) was significant. The indirect path coefficient between cognitive flexibility and resilience through marital adjustment (1.899) was also significant. Furthermore, the indirect path coefficient between Heechan's cognitive regulation and resilience through marital adjustment (0.202) was significant.

Increasing cognitive flexibility and cognitive emotion regulation positively influences resilience. Therefore, it is recommended to prioritize the cognitive, emotional, and affective variables in interventions for this group.

Breast cancer is a chronic disease that not only affects physical problems, but also can affect the emotional and psychological processes of patients, so psychological interventions are welcomed in this regard. The purpose of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of compassion-focused therapy on the resilience, sleep disorders, and body image in women with breast cancer.

This was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design, with an unequal control group. The study population included all married women with breast cancer who had been referred to the medical professionals in Ardabil city in the second half of the year 2024. A total of 39 people were selected by the convenience sampling method, and they were assigned to experimental (n=19) and control (n=20) groups by the simple random sampling method. Data collection in the pre-test and post-test stages was performed using the 19-item Body Image Inventory (Littleton & et al, 2005), the 10-item Mini Sleep Questionnaire (Zomer & et al, 1985), and the 25-item Connor & Davidson Resilience Scale (Connor & Davidson, 2003). The compassion-focused therapy inventory was performed for the experimental group in 8 sessions, each lasting 75 minutes, once and a week. Data was analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance using SPSS-22.

The findings indicated that there was a significant difference among the resilience (p<0.01, F=72.62), sleep disorders (p<0.01, F=130.13) and body image (p<0.01, F=416.03); this means that the compassion-focused therapy had a significant positive effect on the resilience, sleep disorders and body image in women with breast cancer.

Considering the effectiveness of the compassion-focused therapy on the increase of resilience and improvement of sleep disorders and body image in women with breast cancer, the counselors and psychologists of psychotherapy centers and hospitals can benefit from this therapeutic method to increase resilience and improvement of sleep disorders and body image in woman with breast cancer.

  The imbalance between reward and effort, characterized by the disparity between effort put in and rewards received, can be greatly affected by personal abilities and feelings.  The present study aimed to investigate the relationship of resilience with Reward-Effort imbalance mediated by teaching emotions in elementary school teachers of Taft City.

The methodology used in the research was correlational along with structural equation modeling. The statistical population included all elementary school teachers in Taft City during the academic year 2020-2023, totaling 679 individuals. A sample size of 250 participants was determined, and the sampling was conducted on a voluntarily basis. The research tools included the Connor and Davidson Resilience Questionnaire (2003), Reward-Effort Imbalance (Siegrist, 2010), and Teaching Emotions (Villavicencio, 2010). Finally, data from 234 participants were analyzed using structural equation modeling through SPSS26 and AMOS24 software.

The results showed that the direct effect of resilience on Reward-Effort imbalance was significant (β=0.180; P=0.029); moreover, the direct effect of resilience on teaching emotions was notable (β=0.396; P=0.001); And the direct effect of teaching emotions on Reward-Effort imbalance is also significant (p=0.211; P=0.018);  additionally, the results showed that the indirect effect of resilience on Reward-Effort imbalance through the mediating influence of teaching emotions was significant (β=0.083; P=0.011) and the total effect was also significant (βt =0.264, P=0.001).

In conclusion, focusing on teaching emotions within resilience training programs for elementary school teachers may help reduce Reward-Effort imbalance by regulating emotions.

Caring burden is a situation that the caregiver faces during the care of a person with a spinal cord injury. Considering the significant level of stress and care burden created for caregivers in providing care, the concept of resilience becomes important. Considering to importance of the issue, this study was conducted with the aim of determining the relationship between resilience and the care burden of caregivers of people with spinal cord injuries referring to the Iranian Spinal Cord Injury Support Association in 2021.

This research was a cross-sectional descriptive-correlation study. The samples were 196 caregivers of people with spinal cord injuries who referred to the Iranian Spinal Cord Injury Support Association in 2021 and were selected through a continuous sampling method and based on the inclusion criteria. In this study, the demographic form of caregivers and two questionnaires, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and Zarit Caregiver Burden, were used. The data were analyzed in SPSS version 26 software using descriptive statistics, statistical tests of Spearman's correlation analysis, independent t-test, and analysis of variance with a significance level of P = 0.001.

The average score of resilience and care burden in caregivers of patients was 63.81±17.32 and 31.07±17.85, respectively. There was a significant negative correlation between resilience and care burden (r=-0.434), so ​​increasing care burden decreased resilience (P<0.001). The results of a one-way analysis of variance showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the location of the lesion and the resilience score (P=0.175) and the caregiving burden score (P=0.540).

The results of this research showed that with a decrease in the resilience of caregivers in people with spinal cord injuries, the burden of caring for them increased. Therefore, reducing the care burden and not caring for the person alone in these people can improve the caregivers' resilience against the surrounding problems and stresses.

Resilience is one of the most important determinants of people's health in difficult situations. It has enabled people to view challenges as opportunities for empowerment. Furthermore, resilience has a significant relationship with spiritual health. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between different dimensions of spiritual health and the resilience of students at Shahid Sadougi University of Medical Sciences in Yazd during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the role of prayer in students' resilience.

This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 264 students at Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences in Yazd during 2021. The measurement tools used in this study were two questionnaires: the Pulotzin Wallison Spiritual Health Questionnaire and the Connor and Davidson Resilience Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, and regression analysis were used for data analysis.

There was a positive and significant relationship between spiritual health (98±6.75) and resilience (64.39±11.21) of students (P<0.05, r=0.56). Regression analysis showed that spiritual health (B=0.522) was the best variable for predicting the dependent variable of resilience. Additionally, the variables of religious health and existential health, with B values of 0.472 and 0.251, respectively, had the greatest impact on predicting the resilience variable.

It is expected that policymakers and implementers of educational programs, with effective planning, will provide the basis for improving the spiritual health of students during their education by incorporating spiritual content and themes into the educational environment and providing suitable spiritual models.

Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) are the frontline medical personnel who often face stressful and critical situations. Job hardiness can enhance their capacity to withstand challenging circumstances and both physical and mental pressures. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the level of job hardiness among EMTs and its associated factors.

This study employed a cross-sectional descriptive design involving 216 EMTs from Qom University of Medical Sciences in 2024. A stratified random sampling method was utilized. Data were collected using a demographic and occupational information checklist and a job hardiness scale. Data analysis was conducted employing ANOVA, independent t-tests, and regression analyses. A significance level of less than 0.05 was deemed statistically significant.

The average age of participants was 32.26 ± 6.34 years, with over two-thirds having bachelor's degrees and working rotating shifts. The average score for job hardiness was 44.67 ± 5.30. Results from multivariable regression indicated that educational status and a sufficient number of personnel accounted for 42% of the variance in job hardiness among EMTs.

Findings reveal that EMTs exhibit moderate to high job hardiness. Furthermore, adequate staffing levels and higher educational attainment positively correlated with increased job hardiness scores.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to numerous challenges in recent years, many of which have persisted even after recovery from the illness.

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of group-based positive psychotherapy in enhancing resilience and reducing COVID-19-related anxiety and job burnout among nurses working in COVID-19 care units.

This study employed a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test measures, including an experimental group and a control group. The statistical population comprised nurses working in the COVID-19 intensive care units of Qaem and Shariati Hospitals in Mashhad between the years 2021–2022. A total of 26 eligible participants were selected through purposive sampling and randomly assigned to either the experimental group (positive psychotherapy, n = 13) or the control group (n = 13). Data collection instruments included the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (2003), the Corona Anxiety Scale developed by Alipour, Gadami, Alipour, and Abdulzadeh (2018), and Maslach’s Job Burnout Inventory (1981). The intervention group received eight weekly sessions of group-based positive psychotherapy, each lasting 90 minutes. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).

The results indicated that positive group therapy had a significant impact on increasing resilience (F = 167.614), reducing COVID-19-related anxiety (F = 5.762), and decreasing job burnout (F = 39.975) among nurses working in COVID-19 care units.

 Positive group psychotherapy was found to be effective in enhancing resilience, reducing COVID-19-related anxiety, and alleviating job burnout among nurses working in COVID-19 care units. Therefore, this therapeutic approach is recommended for improving these outcomes in healthcare professionals.

Most new fathers experience a lot of stress when their newborn is admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). However, most studies have focused on the needs of mothers. The aim of this study is to compare postpartum depression, psychological distress, resilience, and psychological well-being in new fathers of infants admitted to the NICU and fathers of healthy infants.

This case-control study was conducted on 120 new fathers in two groups of 60 cases (admitted to the NICU) and 60 controls (with healthy newborns) referring to the NICU and specialized clinics of Shafizadeh and Ayatollah Rouhani Hospitals in Babol. Participants completed the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) with a score range of (0-30), the Ryff's Psychological Wellbeing Scale (RSPWB-18) with a score range of (18-108), the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) with a score range of (0-100), and the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-18) with a score range of (0-72), and the results were reviewed and compared.

In the case group, the mean scores of postpartum depression (12.6±4.12 vs. 8.32±1.64) and psychological distress (54.55±10.48 vs. 44.45±7.03) were significantly higher than in the control group (p<0.001). Moreover, the scores of psychological well-being (80.66±10.18 vs. 86.73±5.80) and resilience (59.81±10.99 vs. 71.05±34.7) were significantly lower (p<0.001). The frequency of postpartum depression symptoms in Edinburgh questionnaire with cut-off point of EPDS≥10 in the group of fathers with infants admitted to the NICU was about 3.5 times that of fathers with healthy infants (46 vs. 12) (p<0.001). The results of logistic regression analysis showed that in new fathers with infants admitted to the NICU, the chance of developing depressive symptoms increases 5-fold (p=0.002, OR=5.217), which increases with age (p=0.046, OR=1.155), but decreases with the increase in resilience (p=0.001, OR=0.865).

The results of the study showed that the risk of depression in fathers with infants admitted to the NICU is 5 times higher than fathers with healthy infants. Therefore, timely identification and treatment of postpartum depression is recommended for new fathers with infants admitted to the NICU.

 The complexity and extreme fluctuations in the healthcare environment, along with the occurrence of unforeseen disasters and risks, have increased the likelihood of disruptions in hospital supply chains. Strengthening supply chain resilience is a key strategy to mitigate these challenges and ensure the continued delivery of efficient and effective hospital services during crises. This study aims to conduct a structural analysis of the factors influencing the resilience of the hospital medical equipment supply chain using the Fuzzy MICMAC approach.

This mixed-method (qualitative-quantitative) study included faculty members knowledgeable in the field, heads of medical equipment departments in universities and hospitals, senior managers from medical equipment manufacturing and importing companies, and healthcare administrators. Data were collected through checklists and semi-structured interviews. Fuzzy matrix completion and MICMAC analysis were used for data processing, performed using Fuzzy MICMAC software.

Among the identified factors, logistics management was found to have the highest impact on the resilience of the hospital medical equipment supply chain. In contrast, factors such as integration and coordination, cooperative relationships, competition, flexibility, human resource management, and risk/crisis management had the lowest direct impact. Environmental conditions, transparency and protection, information-sharing systems, and human resource management were identified as the least affected factors. Economic factors emerged as a highly influential indirect factor, significantly affecting supply chain resilience.

To enhance the resilience of hospital medical equipment supply chains, logistics management and economic factorsmust be prioritized. Additionally, agility and speed, risk/crisis management, competition, and the development of integrated and cooperative relationships play a moderately indirect role and should be considered in strategic planning.

 One of the most significant predictors of substance use disorders is the level of resilience in individuals. This study aimed to determine the association between resilience and substance (alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs =ATOD) use disorders among young people aged 18 to 29 in Kerman city, Iran in 2022.

This was a cross-sectional study using a multi-stage sampling method including 407 young individuals aged 18 to 29 years in Kerman city, Iran from spring to winter 2022. The sample was selected from among individuals referring to five women's and five men's hair salons and four methadone maintenance treatment centers in each district of Kerman Municipality. The date on resilience, as well as demographic information, were collected using the short-form RS-14 Resilience Scale, the ACE-8 Childhood Experiences Scale and the Substance Use Disorder questionnaires through face-to-face interviews.

The likelihood of substance abuse and referral to methadone maintenance treatment centers was found to increase with age, male gender, a history of domestic violence, and lower education levels. Conversely, higher resilience was associated with decreased likelihood of substance abuse and referral to treatment centers (p ≤ 0.05).

The findings of this study highlight the importance of developing effective programs to enhance resilience among youth, which will result in reduced risk of substance abuse. The results of this study can be used for appropriate planning and development of strategies to support youth health.

A significant number of children with intellectual disability and mental retardation are added to the country's population annually causing a lot of psychological pressure on the family. The present study aimed to determine the effect of the family-centered empowerment model on the resilience of parents of children with mental retardation.

This clinical trial study was conducted in 2021 in Aliabad-e katul, Iran, on the parents of mentally retarded children in two groups of test group and control group (24 people in each group) by conducting pre- and post-test through simple random sampling. Six sessions were held for the test group. In the control group, training and routine care were performed. The Connor and Davidson's Resilience Questionnaire was used as data collection tool. The collected data was analyzed in SPSS software (version 23).

In terms of the mean resilience score, a significant difference was observed between the test group before and after the intervention (P<0.001). Additionally, by removing the pre-test effect, a significant difference was seen between the test and control groups (P<0.001, Eta=0.48); therefore, 29% of the changes in the average score of parents' resilience were caused by the effect of the family-centered empowerment model.

Considering the effectiveness of the family-centered empowerment model on parents' resilience and the importance of parents' role in caring for mentally retarded children, this low-cost and effective treatment method can be used in caring for and empowering parents.

Considering the significant increase in suicidal tendencies and attempts during puberty, this study aims to investigate the effectiveness of compassion-focused therapy compared to emotion-focused therapy in increasing the resilience of female students who attempted suicide in the past has been was evaluated.

semi-experimental research was used with a pre-test and post-test design. The target population was female students of the first and second grade of high school who attempted suicide and referred to the counseling center of the General Directorate of Education, and the research was conducted from the time of data collection to the time of implementation from May 2022 to June 2023 was conducted in the counseling center under the supervision of the science and research department of Islamic Azad University, Tehran branch, was conducted and the available sampling method was selected and randomly and a total of 30 people were divided into two experimental groups (15 people) and control groups (15 people). First, Connor and Davidson's resilience questionnaire (2003) was taken from all three groups. The experimental group underwent eight 90-minute sessions of emotion-focused compassion therapy, while the control group received no intervention. After the end of the treatment sessions, the resilience questionnaire of Connor and Davidson (2003) was administered again and repeated after one month of follow-up. The collected data were analyzed using statistical tests (multivariate analysis of covariance and analysis of variance).

 The results obtained from the data analysis showed a significant difference in the pre-test, post-test and follow-up resilience averages in the three groups. Resilience scores for the experimental groups were significant at P < 0.05, which indicates a significant difference. Additionally, the compassion-focused therapy group showed greater improvements in resilience compared to the emotion-focused group.

These findings confirm the positive effect of both types of treatment on the resilience of female students who have previously attempted suicide, and compassion-focused therapy was more effective than emotion-focused therapy
