Abstract EN

The study aimed to reveal the effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioral counseling program in developing psychological hardiness among mothers of schizophrenia patients in Riyadh.

the study sample consisted of (40) mothers of schizophrenia, which were divided into two groups: an experimental group (n = 20), their mean age of 34.3 years with standard deviation ± 2.02, and an equivalent control group (n = 20), whose mean age was 32.60 years with standard deviation ± 2.13.

a cognitive-behavioral counseling program (prepared by the researcher) was applied to the members of the experimental sample after the researcher made sure of its validity for application to the sample members, and the psychological hardness scale for the control and experimental study sample (prepared by the researcher).

the results of the study showed that there was a statistically significant increase in the degrees of psychological hardiness among the experimental group than in the control group after applying the program, and there were no statistically significant differences between the post and tracer measures of the experimental group in psychological hardiness.
