<p>The present study examined the effects of the Psychotraining-Based Communication Workshop Program on family functioning and psychological resilience among parents of children with special needs. This randomized controlled study investigated the effects of communication training therapy for parents of children with special needs. Participants were assigned to intervention (<i>N</i> = 21) and control (<i>N</i> = 21) groups. The workshop was delivered to parents of children with developmental delays over 6&#xa0;weeks, consisting of two sessions per week lasting 45–60&#xa0;min each, and was conducted by health and education professionals using a family-centered multidisciplinary approach. The Turkish versions of the Perceived Family Functioning Scale (PFFS) and Adult Psychological Resilience Scale (APRS) were administered in the pre- and post-tests. Following the workshop delivered by psychiatric nursing staff, the intervention group demonstrated significant improvements in family communication and positive affect (4.365 compared with 3.902, effect size = 1.02, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001), Conflicts and negative affect (1.881 compared with 2.470, effect size = 0.78, <i>p</i> = 0.002), and the total adult psychological resilience score (4.389 compared with 3.921, effect size = 0.74, <i>p</i> = 0.003). Significant increases were also observed in relational resources (4.357 compared with 4.064, effect size = 0.46, <i>p</i> = 0.047), cultural and contextual resources (4.429 compared with 3.743, effect size = 0.76, <i>p</i> = 0.002), and family resources (4.514 compared with 3.886, effect size = 0.85, <i>p</i> = 0.001).</p><p><i>Conclusions</i>:&#xa0;The psychoeducation-based communication workshop program was effective in improving family communication and psychological resilience among parents of children with special needs.</p><p>The findings of this study suggest that family-centered psychoeducational programs may be beneficial and could contribute to nursing practice.<Table Float="No" ID="Taba"> <tgroup cols="2"> <colspec align="left" colname="c1" colnum="1" /> <colspec align="left" colname="c2" colnum="2" /> <tbody> <row> <entry align="left" nameend="c2" namest="c1"> <p><b>What is Known:</b></p> </entry> </row> <row> <entry align="left" nameend="c2" namest="c1"> <p>• <i>Parents of children with special needs frequently experience challenges in family functioning and reduced psychological resilience because of long-term caregiving responsibilities.</i></p> </entry> </row> <row> <entry align="left" nameend="c2" namest="c1"> <p>• <i>Psychoeducational interventions may improve psychosocial outcomes; however, evidence regarding communication-based programs targeting both family functioning and psychological resilience remains limited.</i></p> </entry> </row> <row> <entry align="left" nameend="c2" namest="c1"> <p><b>What is New:</b></p> </entry> </row> <row> <entry align="left" nameend="c2" namest="c1"> <p>• <i>This psychotraining-based communication workshop significantly improved family communication and positive affect while reducing conflicts and negative emotions among parents of children with special needs.</i></p> </entry> </row> <row> <entry align="left" nameend="c2" namest="c1"> <p>• <i>The intervention strengthened overall psychological resilience, particularly relational, cultural-contextual, and family resources, supporting the integration of communication-based psychoeducation into family-centered nursing practice.</i></p> </entry> </row> </tbody> </tgroup> </Table></p>
