From these number, 32 people were selected accidentally and divided accidental in two groups: intervention and control groups. The Intervention group had 8 sessions of RCT, http://www.win2farsi.comtwice a week and each session was 90 minutes. Meaningfulness 10‒question Questionnaire was administered to the control group and intervention group before and after intervention. Analysis of covariance were used to compare two group data.
Results: Analysis of covariance indicated that the efficacy of religious based training on life meaning and its sections in intervention group rather than before and after intervention is significantly meaningful (p<0.001), but this efficacy is not meaningful in comparison with control group(p >0.005).
Conclusion: It seems that religious components training can increase elderly’s hope, and finally their life will be meaningful. But, instead of only training, paying more attention to assignment is needed for more significant effectiveness; this issue should be considered in therapy manual .
