In today's world, the feeling of loneliness is one of the important challenges for the elderly. The feeling of loneliness occurs in all age groups, but its prevalence is higher in old age. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of resilience training on mental health and reducing loneliness in the elderly. This quasi-experimental study was conducted using a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population of the study included all elderly residents of Mehr Nursing Home in Tabriz. From the aforementioned population, 30 people were selected using purposive sampling and randomly assigned to two control and experimental groups. The experimental group underwent resilience training for 7 sessions, and no intervention was performed on the control group during this period. The Goldberg and Hiller Mental Health Questionnaires and the Russell Loneliness Questionnaire were used as evaluation tools. Covariance analysis was used in SPSS version 26 software to analyze the data. The results showed that resilience training was effective in promoting mental health and reducing loneliness in the elderly in Tabriz nursing homes, and a significant difference was found in loneliness and mental health in the two groups (P<0.05). According to the findings of the study, resilience training can be used to increase mental health and reduce loneliness in the elderly.
