Military and law enforcement jobs have high stress and special complications, which all over the world are accompanied by incompatibility, physical risks, being away from family and living in difficult conditions; Therefore, people in high-risk jobs such as the army are more susceptible to psychological diseases. The present study was conducted with the aim of comparing the effectiveness of patience training on the psychological well-being and adjustment of students of a military center. This research was applied in terms of purpose and in terms of method, it was an experiment with pre-test-post-test with a control group. The statistical population included first-year university students. The statistical sample included 21 people for each of the experimental groups and 20 people for the control group; which were randomly selected and replaced in groups. The data collection tool included the 84-question psychological well-being questionnaire of Riff and the 160-question questionnaire of Bell's adjustment. The data were analyzed using the statistical method of multivariate analysis of covariance. The results showed that patience training had improved psychological well-being and adjustment at the level of P<0.01. The results were repeated in the three-month follow-up. Therefore, considering the key role of human resources in military organizations and the need for these employees to have high mental health, it is obvious that the vice-chancellor of education of that university can play a role in improving the psychological well-being and adjustment of students through careful planning to carry out patience training.
