Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of environmental design on reducing depression and anxiety sensitivity of the elderly. Method: This research is a semi-experimental method with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group, and the statistical population includes all elderly people 60 years old and older living at home in Isfahan city. 30 elderly people were randomly selected and an equal number (15 people) were placed in two experimental and control groups. Data collection tools include Depression, Anxiety and Stress Questionnaire and Anxiety sensitivity Questionnaire by Floyd et al. (2005). Findings: The analysis of the obtained data using covariance analysis indicates that the effective components on the design of environmental spaces have a significant effect on reducing depression and anxiety sensitivity in the elderly. Conclusion: The design of environmental spaces can play an important role in reducing depression and anxiety sensitivity in the elderly and can be effectively used in psychological interventions for the health of the elderly. Designing a relaxing and happy environment for the elderly is necessary in order to create positive attitudes and empowerment towards a healthy and high-quality life.| Rights and permissions | |
