Background: Febrile seizures are a concern for many parents. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of implementing an adaptive sustainability care model on the social adjustment and resilience of mothers with children experiencing febrile seizures in 2024.Methods: This non-random quasi-experimental study involved two groups: a control group and an intervention group. The study included 30 mothers with children who had febrile seizures and were referred to the emergency department of a medical center in Tehran. The social adjustment and resilience questionnaire was given to the control group (15 mothers) and then to the intervention group (15 mothers) at two time points-before and after the intervention.Results: The increase in the average social adjustment score (13.73 ± 0.49 vs. 19.33 ± 1.32) in the intervention group was significant at the post-test stage (P < 0.001). However, the average social adjustment score in the control group (18.80 ± 0.55 vs. 18.86 ± 2.24) did not show a significant difference between the two time points before and after the intervention (P = 0.869).Similarly, the increase in the mean resilience score (93.53 ± 4.52 vs. 99.06 ± 4.80) in the intervention group was significant between the pre- and post-intervention stages (P = 0.023). In contrast, the increase in resilience score in the control group (87.60 ± 1.23 vs. 91.13 ± 4.79) was not statistically significant between the two time periods (P = 0.094).Conclusion: The study results indicate that implementing education through a sustainability and adaptive care model can enhance mothers' resilience skills and social adjustment.
