Results: The findings revealed that there was a significant increase in resilience level after intervention by dependent 't' test (t=9.608; p< 0.001); independent 't' test (t=10.599; p< 0.001). Association between post test score of resilience with educational status of mother was Significant at p< 0.05 level.
