Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of self-healing (the healing codes) intervention on quality of life (QoL) and mother-child interaction among female breadwinners.

Methods: The study population comprised all female breadwinners who referred to the welfare centers of Isfahan in 2020; using convenience sampling, we selected 30 women and divided them into experimental and control groups (n = 15 per group). The experimental group underwent fourteen sessions (90-min sessions per week) of self-healing training.

Results: The mean ± SD of QoL and mother-child interaction for experimental and control groups in the post-test stage were 84.33 ± 3.92 and 160.86 ± 8.74 respectively. Self-healing intervention had significant effects on QoL and mother-child interaction among female breadwinners. The intervention program improved the components of QoL and mother-child interaction among female breadwinners (p < 0.01).

Conclusions: Self-healing training can be used as a novel approach to enhance QoL and mother-child interaction in this group of women.
