The present study was conducted in two stages. First, a consulting package for compatibility with the empty nest was compiled and content validity was used to validate it.

The statistical population of this research was formed by the elderly people of empty nests in Tehran in 1401 and the sampling was accessible and targeted. The samples included 3 empty nest seniors who referred to nursing homes in Shahrara and Qolhak neighborhoods. Gilbert and Allen's distress tolerance and Defeat questionnaire was used to collect data. The empty nest syndrome adaptation training package was presented in 9 60-minute sessions with a 1-week interval between sessions. The results of the data analysis showed that the training package for adapting to the empty nest syndrome was effective on the sense of failure and the distress tolerance of the empty nest elderly. Considering that the training package for adapting to empty nest syndrome is a package based on the lived experiences of the elderly people of the empty nest, which is based on the locality and the experience of the Iranian elderly, it helps the elderly to be able to endure more distress and also reduce their sense of Defeat
