The main objective of this study was to examine how effective group-based spiritual therapy is in enhancing the psychological resilience of mothers who have children with mental disabilities. The research followed a semi-experimental design, using a pretest and posttest approach with a control group. The study focused on all mothers of children with mental disabilities whose children were enrolled in exceptional schools in Tabriz city during the academic year of 2022-2023. For the sample selection, a total of 42 mothers who had children with mental disabilities were chosen using the available sampling method. These participants were then randomly assigned to either the experimental group or the control group. The experimental group received spiritual therapy over the course of 12 sessions, while the control group did not receive any intervention. Data was collected using the Resilience questionnaire developed by Richardson in 2003. To analyze the collected data, a multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) was conducted. The findings of the investigation demonstrated that spiritual therapy exerted a profound influence, boasting a statistically significant effect size of 0.462, in enhancing the psychological resilience of mothers who have children with mental disabilities (p<0. 05). This suggests that professionals working in this field can consider utilizing spiritual therapy as an effective intervention to improve the psychological resilience of mothers who are caring for children with mental disabilities.
