Abstract :
Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of rational, emotive, behavior group therapy on the coping style and resilience of mothers of mentally retarded children. The research method was semi-experimental with pre-test-post-test and control group. The statistical population included 60 mothers with mentally retarded children of Shafa rehabilitation center in Qazvin city with low resilience and coping styles, which were selected using available sampling method. These people are homogenous in terms of age, socio-economic status, lack of physical diseases, having a lower standard deviation in the questionnaires of coping style by Lazarus and Folkman (1985) and resilience by Konver and Davidson (2003) and other variables of the research. Then the subjects were randomly divided into two experimental and control groups. In the case of the experimental group, 8 sessions of 90-minute rational, emotive, behavior group therapy were implemented, but no intervention was done in the case of the control group. The resulting data were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). The research findings showed the effectiveness of rational, emotional and behavioral group therapy on coping style components and resilience components of mothers of mentally retarded children(significance level less than or equal to 0.05).
