The statistical population consisted of all female students aged 12 to 17 years who recovered from the corona disease in high school studying in Bam city in 2019-1400. Through available sampling, 30 students who went to the hospital due to corona disease according to the doctor's diagnosis and their recovery was confirmed by the tests and the doctor were selected as a sample, and they were placed in the experimental and control groups of 15 people. The data were analyzed using the questionnaire of preference for coping actions (Karuro et al., 1989) and analyzed in the SPSS-20 software environment using the analysis of covariance and Mancova test.
