Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of positive psychotherapy on pain perception and death anxiety in the Elderly. It was a semi-experimental study with pretest-posttest design including control group. The statistical population of the present study included all Elderly people in Aligudarz, Iran in 2018. The statistical sample consisted of 30 people who were randomly selected based on the entrance criteria of the study and divided to two experimental and control groups (15 people in each group). McGill Pain Questionnaire developed by Melzak, and the Templer death anxiety Scale were used to collect the data. The experimental group received 8 positive psychotherapy sessions each lasting for 90 minutes, while the control group received no intervention. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) in SPSS software version 25.
