They were randomly divided into three groups of 15 subjects: treatment based on acceptance and commitment, paradoxical schedule treatment and control. Subjects in the acceptance and commitment treatment experimental group participated in 8 sessions and the paradoxical schedule treatment group in 6 90-minute sessions but for the control group, there was no intervention. Participants completed the resilience scale by Connor and Davidson (2003) in three steps. The research data were analyzed using the variance analysis method with repeated measurements in SPSS-26 software. Results:The results showed that there is a significant difference between the resilience score in three stages of pre-test, post-test and follow-up measurements. It was also found that there was a significant difference between scores of two experimental groups and control group, but there was no significant difference between the scores of the two experimental groups. Conclusion: According to the results, it is recommended that the authorities use these two types of treatment programs under expert supervision to improve the resilience of nurses.
