The overall score of mental toughness in control group was (46.12±7.96), average score of face, avoid, and yield of coping style in experimental group was (17.25±3.12), (13.83±2.54), (7.98±3.54), respectively. The differences were statistically significant (t=11.281, 3.724, 19.322, 2.513, respectively; P<0.01).
