Anxiety and aggression are common problems in old age, which are full of various feelings of deficiencies and disabilities in the individual. The older adults are more prone to anxiety due to decreased self-confidence, decreased activity and mobility, loss of loved ones, chronic diseases, and the like. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effectiveness of structured reminiscence on anxiety and aggression in older people living in nursing homes in Mashhad in 2024. The research design was a semi-experimental design with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population included all older adults living in nursing homes in Mashhad in 2024, and one home was randomly selected from among the nursing homes. The statistical sample was equal to 30 older adults who were selected using the available sampling method and according to the study entry criteria and were randomly assigned to two experimental groups (15 people) and a control group (15 people). The experimental group received the structured reminiscence therapy program in eight 90-minute sessions, once a week. The data collection tools included the Eysenck and Glyn Wilson Aggression Questionnaire and the Beck Anxiety Inventory. Data analysis was performed using the univariate analysis of covariance test in SPSS 26 software. The findings of the study showed that structured reminiscence was effective in reducing anxiety levels and also improving aggression and reducing it in older adults. Therefore, it can be concluded that reminiscence has a positive effect on improving the psychological state of older adults.
