However, reminiscence was a more effective intervention therefore, it can be an inexpensive way to increase the vitality of the elderly with no side-effects. Conclusion: group discussion and reminiscence are effective in increasing the elderly happiness scores. Bonferroni post-hoc test scores before and after the intervention (P<0.03) and scores during and after the intervention (P<0.03) showed significant differences. Multivariate analysis with repeated measures showed that the interaction between treatment group and the time was significantly effective on the elderly happiness score (p<0.01). Happiness pre-intervention scores were 43.9☑0.6 and 45.6☘.3 in control and the intervention groups, respectively (p>0.05).

Results: The mean age of the participants was 65.5☖.2, and 50.8% of them were men. Fisher’s exact test, Chi-square, independent, repeated measures ANOVA with Bonferoni post-hoc and SPSS version 20 were used. Data were collected using valid and reliable happiness questionnaires (oxford) and a brief cognitive-mental examination. Reminisce distinguishes itself from the others by implying a casual recalling of experiences long past, often with a sense of nostalgia. Group discussions were held for the control group. Reminisce is one of several English verbs starting with re- that mean 'to bring an image or idea from the past into the mind.' Others in this group include remember, recall, remind, and recollect. Reminiscence was conducted in six sessions over three weeks.

Happiness scores were measured before intervention, during, and one month after the end of intervention. Methods: In this clinical trial, 64 elderly referred to the Jahandidegan center of Gorgan were selected and randomly divided into control and intervention groups. Aim: To determine the effect of reminiscence therapy on the elderly happiness.
