The aim of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of positive therapy education on life expectancy and death anxiety of elderly residents of Tabriz Senior Center. The present study was a pilot study with a quasi-experimental design and a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population included all elderly residents of Tabriz Senior Center in 1403. Among them, 30 people were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly assigned to two experimental groups (15 people) and control (15 people). The experimental group received positive therapy for 8 90-minute sessions, once a week. The instruments used included the Life Expectancy Scale and the Death Anxiety Scale, which the participants responded to in the pre-test and post-test stages. The results of the analysis of covariance showed that the provided education had a significant effect on increasing life expectancy and reducing death anxiety of elderly residents of the experimental group compared to the control group (P<0.05). The findings of the study indicate that positive therapy education can be used as an effective intervention to improve the quality of life of the elderly.
