Material and Methods: In this clinical trial, 86 family caregivers of stroke survivors in Hamadan Besat Hospital were selected by convenience method and randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. Before the intervention, data were collected by Modified Rankin disability scale, demographic form, Connor-Davidson resilience and Novak & Guest caregiver burden questionnaires. Then, the intervention group received virtual training and telephone follow-up for a month. At the end of the intervention, two weeks and one month later, resilience and caregiver burden were re-examined. Data analysis was done by descriptive statistics, Independent t-test, Chi-Square, Fisher's Exact Test and Repeated Measure ANOVA in SPSS 25.

After the intervention a significant difference in direction of increasing resilience in the intervention group and decreasing it in the control group and also decreasing caregiver burden in the intervention group and increasing it in the control group, was observed (P < 0.001).
