The statistical population included all the elderly women of Shahrbabak city in 2023, 30 people (15 people from the experimental group and 15 people from the control group) were selected by the random sampling method. The data collection tool was Ray et al.'s Forgiveness Questionnaire (2001) and Templer's Death Anxiety Questionnaire (1970). The intervention of teaching positive strategies in 9 sessions of 70 minutes and twice a week was performed on the experimental group and the control group did not receive any intervention. Data analysis was done with descriptive tests (mean and standard deviation) and covariance analysis using SPSS version 24 software. P level less than 0.05 was considered significant. The results of the covariance analysis showed that teaching positive strategies had an effect on forgiveness and death anxiety of elderly women (P<0.01).
