Abstract

Research on aging and the evaluation of therapeutic interventions to reduce physical and mental health problems of the elderly is one of the common issues in today's scientific societies. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Group reminiscence on feeling defeated, grateful and optimistic among elderly women in nursing homes in Ahvaz city. It was a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest and control group design. The study population consisted all of elderly women living in nursing homes in Ahvaz. For this aim, 18 of the elderly were chosen through convenience sampling method along with inclusion criteria and placed randomly into two groups of experimental and control (n=9). Gilbert & Allan defeat Questionnaire, Godarzie's Islamic-Iranian gratitude questionnaire and Scheier & Carver's Life Orientation survey were used to collect data. Then, Group reminiscence therapy was administered on experimental group in 8 sessions and finally posttest was administered to fro experimental and control groups. Data were analyzed using the univariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results showed the effectiveness of Group reminiscence on decreasing defeat, gratitude and optimism feelings in elderly women. As a result, creating an appropriate environment for participation in positive reminiscence sessions is essential for older people in nursing homes and is effective in improving their mental status.
