The purpose of this research was to compare the effectiveness of Frisch's "quality of life education" and "quality of life education based on Islamic teachings" on the resilience and prosocial behaviors of main caregivers for schizophrenic patients. In this semi-experimental study on the community of caregivers for schizophrenic patients in Shahrekord city in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province, 46 main caregivers were selected using the convenience sampling method. The research instruments included the "resistance" and "prosocial behaviors" scales. The results showed that the effectiveness of Frisch's " group quality of life education" and " group quality of life education based on Islamic teachings" on increasing endurance (P < 0.001) was significant. The effect size was 0.41 and 0.69, respectively, and the effectiveness of " group quality of life education based on Islamic teachings" was more than Frisch's " group quality of life education". Also, the effectiveness of Frisch's " group quality of life education" and " group quality of life education based on Islamic teachings" on increasing prosocial behaviors (P < 0.001) was significant and the effect size was 0.24 and 0.46, respectively. The effectiveness of "group quality of life education based on Islamic teachings" was more than Frisch's " group quality of life education". Therefore, it can be concluded that Frisch's "quality of life education" and "quality of life education based on Islamic teachings" can improve the level of resilience and prosocial behaviors of the main caregivers for schizophrenic patients.
