Abstract
Introduction: The present study aimed to develop a parenting program for the mothers of children with gender dysphoria and investigate its impact on the resilience and quality of the parent-child relationship.
Method: The research method was a semi-experimental pre-test-post-test type, with a control group and follow-up. The statistical population consisted of mothers who were referred to the Psychiatric Center of Tehran in 2023 and had a child with gender dysphoria, of whom, 30 cases were selected in an available manner and randomly categorized into the experimental and control groups. Both groups were evaluated by means of a pre-test with the short-form resilience scale (2009) and the parent-child relationship assessment questionnaire (1983). The parenting program was taught to the experimental group; then, the post-test was carried out. After three months, a follow-up test was performed.
Results: The data were analyzed by statistical method of variance with repeated measurements and Bonferroni's post-hoc test in SPSS software (version 23). The results showed that the developed program improved resilience and the quality of the parent-child relationship in mothers of children with gender dysphoria, and this improvement was maintained until the follow-up stage (P<0.05).
Conclusion: According to the obtained results, the prepared parenting program can help mothers of children with gender dysphoria increase their resilience and improve their relationships with their children. Therefore, it is suggested to use this type of intervention to work with this group of mothers, which should be included in the agenda of psychologists and relevant organizations.

Abstract
Introduction: Caring burden is a situation that the caregiver faces during the care of a person with a spinal cord injury. Considering the significant level of stress and care burden created for caregivers in providing care, the concept of resilience becomes important. Considering to importance of the issue, this study was conducted with the aim of determining the relationship between resilience and the care burden of caregivers of people with spinal cord injuries referring to the Iranian Spinal Cord Injury Support Association in 2021.
Method: This research was a cross-sectional descriptive-correlation study. The samples were 196 caregivers of people with spinal cord injuries who referred to the Iranian Spinal Cord Injury Support Association in 2021 and were selected through a continuous sampling method and based on the inclusion criteria. In this study, the demographic form of caregivers and two questionnaires, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and Zarit Caregiver Burden, were used. The data were analyzed in SPSS version 26 software using descriptive statistics, statistical tests of Spearman's correlation analysis, independent t-test, and analysis of variance with a significance level of P = 0.001.
Results: The average score of resilience and care burden in caregivers of patients was 63.81±17.32 and 31.07±17.85, respectively. There was a significant negative correlation between resilience and care burden (r=-0.434), so increasing care burden decreased resilience (P<0.001). The results of a one-way analysis of variance showed that there was no statistically significant difference between the location of the lesion and the resilience score (P=0.175) and the caregiving burden score (P=0.540).
Conclusion: The results of this research showed that with a decrease in the resilience of caregivers in people with spinal cord injuries, the burden of caring for them increased. Therefore, reducing the care burden and not caring for the person alone in these people can improve the caregivers' resilience against the surrounding problems and stresses.
