Abstract

The process of aging seems inevitable. Humans face a process called aging through a biological process. life expectancy at birth represents the average number of years a newborn baby may live, provided that his death probability for future years of life equals to the probability today. Various treatments have been used to increase life expectancy including compassion-focused therapy. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of compassion-focused treatment on elderly life expectancy. It was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test, post-test and control group design. The statistical population of the study included all elderly living in Karaj nursing homes in 2018. The samples of this study consisted of 30 elderlies (15 experimental and 15 control groups) who were selected through available sampling and according to inclusion criteria. The experimental group received compassion focused therapy in 8 sessions, while the control group did not receive the therapy. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis of covariance, and the results showed that compassion-focused treatment was effective in increasing life expectancy (P<0. 001). According to the findings of this study, it can be concluded that compassion-focused therapy can have a positive effect on increasing the life expectancy of the elderly. Finally, based on the results of the research and the researcher's experiences while working with the elderly, it is suggested to investigate the impact of compassion-focused therapy on other disorders of the elderly, especially depression and anxiety, in future studies.
