description The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of meaning training on resiliency and improving the lifequality of mothers with children of special needs in Borazjan city. 222 mothers completed the questionnaire of World Health Organization Quality Of Life and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. Then 40 of these persons with one standard deviation below the mean score in both questionnaires were selected randomly for testing the hypothesis. These 40 persons were divided into two groups randomly (experimental and control group). At first the two groups took a pre-test, and then the experimental group received meaning training for 10 90-minute sessions. At the end, both groups took post-test simultaneously and after one month the follow-up test was done. The data of the study were analyzed by MANCOWA method. The results show that the meaning training has increased resiliency and improved the quality of life of the experimental group in comparison with the control group. A Follow-up study after one month shows the usefulness of meaning training on resiliency and quality of life
