Indeed, the old women in the experimental group scored significantly higher in the HAPPINESS and HARDINESS posttest questionnaires compared to their counterparts in the control group (p<0.01).Conclusion: It can be concluded that spiritual group therapy has a significant impact on seniors’ HAPPINESS and HARDINESS.
