Objectives: To investigate the effectiveness of resiliency training in improving the motherchild
relationship between mothers and their children with mental retardation.
Methods: This study employed an experimental design (pre-test, post-test) with the control
group. The statistical population consisted of 52 mothers and their educable and mentally
retarded children (3-12 years old) who were kept at daily welfare agency centers in Babol
city, Iran. The experimental group received resiliency training program in 12 sessions (70
mins for each session) while the control group received no intervention. The measurement
tool consisted of the mother-child’s relationship questionnaire. Data analysis was done using
multivariate analysis of covariance at a significance level of P<0.05.
Results: The post-test analysis showed a significant decrease in the exclusion of children,
extreme support and the easy going nature of mothers in the experimental group; however, the
acceptance rate of mothers increased significantly.
Discussion: It seems that the resiliency training program improves the mother-child
relationship in the case of mothers and their mentally retarded children and hence, reduces the
exclusion, extreme support, and being easy-going nature. This improvement may be due to the
changing attitude towards disability and improvement in the skills and behaviors of mothers.

So, in this study, we examined whether resiliency training has any effect on mother-child relation in the case of moth- ers of children with mental retardation.
4. Discussion This study showed that resilience program training was effective in increasing maternal acceptance of children with mental retardation.
This study also showed that the intervention program resulted in a significant effect by reducing the rejection of the mentally retarded child by the mother.
2016; 14(3):171-178 I ranian Rehabilitation Journal The present study also showed that resiliency training had a significant effect on reducing extreme support by the mother of the mentally retarded child.
The present study also showed that resiliency training reduced the ‘being too easy going’ nature of the mothers of children with mental retardation.
5. Conclusion The findings of this study showed that resiliency train- ing program increased the mother-child relationship in the case of mothers of children with mental retardation and decreased the extreme support and being too easy going nature.
