Abstract:

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of reality therapy on social relations and living environment among elders in Isfahan. This was a semi-experiential research with an experimental and 20 participants control group. For this purpose 40 elders from Isfahan were randomly selected and asked to complete a WHO quality of life questionnaire. The experimental group received eight sessions of training in reality therapy. The follow-up was performed after three months. The findings were statistically reviewed through multiple co-variances. The results revealed that there was a significant difference in the pre-test and post-test of the two groups on social relations and living environment. The intervention in the follow up was constant (p<0/05).
