The research population included all mothers of students with mental disabilities in Golestan province, 30 of them were selected by a simple random sampling method and participated in a quasi-experimental design with a control group and a non-identical two-group design with pre-test, post-test, and follow-up. Among the above sample, 15 people in the experimental group and 15 people in the control group were randomly assigned. Then, a mindfulness-based intervention program was performed for 8 group sessions. To evaluate the research variables, Quality Of Life (World Health Organization, 1994), and Psychological Wellbeing Scale (Ryff, 1980) were used in three stages: pre-test, post-test, and follow-up. Data obtained from the control and experimental groups were analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance and repeated measures analysis of variance. The above findings showed significant quality of life and psychological well-being (at the level of p <0.05). The above results were maintained after two months of follow-up.
