Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effect of a gratitude program based on positive thinking on nurses' resilience in the post-Coronavirus pan-demic era.
Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study. Eighty nurses in Peimanieh Hospital affiliated to Jahrom University of Medical Sciences were selected using convenience sampling method. They were randomly assigned to the intervention group (n=40) and con-trol groups (n=40) from September to December 2023 in the southern of Iran. The intervention group were given a gratitude plan based on positive thinking in 28 days using WhatsApp in the form of daily. Training content were according to the posi-tive psychotherapy and gratitude of Seligman and Rhonda Byrne. The subjects of control group were not taught. Data were gathered using Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale.
Results: The findings determined that immediately and two months after the intervention the total mean resilience scores had signifi-cant differences between the two groups (p<0.001). Repeated measures testing revealed significant improvements in total mean resilience scores from baseline to two months post-intervention (p=0.002), while between time points in the control group was not significant difference (p=0.32).
Conclusion: The findings provide evidence for the use of a gratitude programme, based on positive thinking, to increase resilience in nurses in the post-Coronavirus 2019 era.

The mission of the journal of Nursing and Education is to present scientific and technical information about health, illnesses and related topics. The journal serves as the conduit [medium] through which the experiences of our own nursing and social science departments can be shared within Columbia and internationally. It is written primarily for nurses, general health practitioners and other related disciplines but can also be used by students and researchers.
