Journal Article 2021 10 20 Background and Aim: Cardiovascular diseases are among the diseases that in addition to physical causes, also have several psychological causes. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy on resilience in cardiovascular patients after coronory artery bypass graft surgery.<br />Method: The design of the present study was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design with a control group. The statistical population of the study included all cardiovascular patients after coronory artery bypass graft surgery in selected AJA hospital in Tehran in 1400. Based on available sampling, 30 people were selected as a statistical sample and randomly divided into experimental and control groups. They responded to the And the Connor-Davidson Resilience Questionnaire (2003). and underwent 14 sessions of psychotherapy. The statistical method used also included multivariate analysis of covariance which was performed using SPSS-23 statistical software.<br />Results: The results showed that there is a significant difference in resilience and components of perception of individual competence, positive acceptance of change and spiritual effects in the experimental and control groups. In the post-test group, the experimental group obtained higher mean scores in these components than the control group..<br />Conclusion: In addition to medical interventions, this treatment can be used for those who have cardiovascular problems and to increase resilience in order to adapt to the limitations after open heart surgery and exposure to stressors.
