        The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of family resilience training and selected sports exercises (chi-kung exercises) on the depression of mothers with children with cancer. The research method was semi-experimental (pre-test-post-test) and was conducted using two experimental groups and one control group. Forty-five mothers with children with cancer at Tabriz Children's Hospital in April 2022, who scored higher than the mean on the Beck Depression Test, were randomly assigned to two experimental groups (15 people each) and a control group (15 people). The first group received family resilience training (9 sessions; one-hour session per week), the second group received Qigong training (9 sessions; one session per week, 30-40 minutes), and the control group did not receive any training. All participants completed the Beck Depression Questionnaire (short form) before and after the training. One-way analysis of covariance was used to analyze the data. The results indicated a significant reduction in the average depression scores of mothers with children with cancer in the family resilience training group compared to the Qigong training group, and in the Qigong training group compared to the control group in the post-test (p<0.05). Furthermore, family resilience training was found to be more effective than Qigong exercises in reducing depression among mothers with children with cancer. Manuscript profile
