Using convenience sampling method, 30 individuals were selected from amongst hospitalized students as well as the ones recovered from Corona pandemic and they were randomly placed in two groups, namely experimental and evidence, each containing 15 persons. The experimental group received Alexander’s training package (2002) in 12 45-minute sessions; the study instrument was posttraumatic stress disorder questionnaire designed by Weathers et al (1993). The obtained data were analyzed using repeated measures’ ANOVA.

the results indicated that teaching coping skills is effective in reducing the signs and symptoms of re-experiencing the harming traumatic accident (p=0.003, F=10.69), signs of emotional numbness (p=0.020, F=5.93) and signs of arousal and excitement (p=0.002, F=10.80) as figured out in the posttest stage and the effect was found persisting in the follow-up tests.

The data were analyzed using the questionnaire of preference for coping actions (Karuro et al., 1989) and analyzed in the SPSS-20 software environment using the analysis of covariance and Mancova test.

The results showed that there was a significant difference between the average scores of the pre-test, post-test and follow-up of the dimensions of the preference of opponents' behaviors (problem-solving skills of opponents, skills of emotional and low-use opponents).
