Abstract :
    The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of resilience training on stress management in high school students. The statistical population included all high school students in the first year of 2016-2017 in Khalkhal city. The sample size was 15 people in the experimental group and 15 people in the control group who were randomly selected. Perceived stress questionnaire was used to collect data. The research method was quasi-experimental (pre-test and post-test design with control group). The experimental group was given 9 sessions of 90-minute resuscitation training program. After the training, post-test was taken from both groups. Multivariate and univariate analysis of covariance were used to analyze the data. The square of Eta indicates the magnitude of the relationship between resilience training and the perceived stress variable (0.42) (P <0.01). Therefore, we conclude with 90% confidence that there is a significant difference between the means of the experimental and control groups in the perceived stress level. In other words, it can be said that resilience training has significantly reduced the perceived stress of students.
