These people were assessed through the distribution of Samuels' Academic Resilience Questionnaire and Goldberg and Hiller's General Health Assessment Questionnaire. For data analysis, descriptive statistical indices (mean, standard deviation) and inferential statistics indices such as analysis of covariance were used to examine research variables and hypotheses.

There is a significant difference between the academic resilience of the experimental and control groups in the post-test stage, and there is also a significant difference between the mental health of the experimental and control groups in the post-test stage.
