Background & Aim: Improving the quality of life and its various aspects is important in the elderly. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of group reminiscence on the quality of life of the elderly in Khorramabad.
Materials & Methods: In the present quasi-experimental study, the statistical population was all nursing homes in Khorramabad in 1400, which were selected using available sampling method and inclusion criteria and then randomly divided into two groups of 65 test and control. The instrument used was the Elderly Quality of Life Questionnaire (Leipad). Memory sessions were conducted during 8 sessions with the content of childhood and family life for the elderly in the intervention group. 1 month after the intervention, the quality of life questionnaire was completed again by both groups. Data were analyzed using SPSS-23 software and paired t-test, independent t-test and covariance.
Results: The quality of life score and its areas after the intervention in the experimental group were on average higher than before the intervention. Using paired t-test, this increase was statistically significant (p <0.05). Based on the results of independent t-test, a statistically significant difference was observed between the quality of life scores of the elderly in the experimental and control groups after the intervention (p <0.05).
Conclusion: According to the results, this technique can be used simply and practically in all medical centers and care for the elderly or individually at home
