An important mission of the humankind is to develop and maintain interpersonal relationships. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of training relationship enhancement on stress, anxiety, depression, and self&ndash;esteem of working women.<br> <strong>Materials and Methods: </strong>In this quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test, 30 working women from Qayen, South Khorasan, were the participants. The participants were initially asked to fill out DASS questionnaire (21 items) and Cooper-Smith&rsquo;s Self-esteem Inventory. After taking the pretest, they attended eight training sessions on relationship enhancement skills. At the end of the last session, the participants were asked again to fill out DASS questionnaire and Cooper-Smith&rsquo;s Self-esteem Inventory. The data were analyzed in SPSS (version 13) using Wilcoxon and paired t-test at 0.05.<br> <strong>Results</strong>: Results indicate that self-esteem mean score increased significantly after the intervention (P<0.001), while that of stress, anxiety, and depression decreased significantly (P<0.001).<br> <strong>Conclusion</strong>: Teaching relationship enhancement skills helps to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression but increases self-esteem among working women.
