The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of implementing a counseling program based on the Satir theory to reduce psychological stress among married Syrian refugee women. A quasi-experimental research design was utilized and 30 Syrian refugee women who visited the International Islamic Organization for International Relief, were recruited from Al Mafrag Governorate. For this research, a survey and a psychological program based on Satir's theory were applied. The results of the study showed a statistically significant difference in the level of psychological stressors among participants in favor of the experimental group. Moreover, there was a statistically significant difference in the follow-up over time measurement in favor of the experimental group. The study recommends that more studies are conducted using a similar program but with different variables.
