Non-cooperation during the implementation of the study was considered as an exit criterion. The tools used included demographic questionnaires, cognitive status assessment, elderly depression, happiness, self-esteem, and instrumental activities. The data were analyzed with descriptive (frequency, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential (focal correlation and parameter estimates) tests.

The results showed that the average age of the participants (60 to 81 years) was equal to 65.92±4.64 and the average body mass index of the participants was 23.75±2.54. 14% of the elderly were underweight and 33% were overweight. 12% were at risk of malnutrition. Most of the elderly had high happiness (99%) and high self-esteem (59%). The correlation coefficient of happiness and self-esteem is 0.378. As a result, in this study, nutrition had no significant relationship with the self-esteem and happiness of the elderly.

According to the value of P>0.050, there is no relationship between the self-esteem of the elderly and the total score of the supplementary examination and nutrition. According to the value of P<0.050, it means that there is a relationship between the self-esteem of the elderly and happiness, but by observing the value of R square=0.045, this relationship is very insignificant. It can be said that only 4% of self-esteem changes are due to happiness There is no statistically significant relationship between the family self-esteem component and happiness(P>0.05). In other components of self-esteem, there is a statistically significant relationship with happiness(P<0.05). Also, there is no relationship between happiness with the total score of the supplementary examination and the total score of nutrition, P>0.050

This research was a descriptive-analytical correlation study. The results of this study showed that there is a relationship between happiness and self-esteem of the elderly. However, there was no statistically significant relationship between self-esteem and nutrition of the elderly. In general, according to the results of this research, it is suggested to pay attention to the role of general self-esteem, social self-esteem, and occupational self-esteem in the happiness of the elderly. Considering the expansion of the elderly population in Iran and the importance of paying attention to the physical and mental health of the elderly, the results of this research can be useful for planning to improve the capabilities of the elderly.

The experience of happiness empowers adolescents to adapt to changing life conditions. Understanding the factors contributing to the happiness of adolescents is crucial for promoting well-being in this age group. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the relationship between perceived social support and happiness among high school students.

This cross-sectional descriptive study focused on the student population of high schools in Rafsanjan. Two schools were randomly selected from the list of schools, and 300 students were randomly enrolled in the study. Demographic information, Zimet's social support, and Oxford Happiness Questionnaires were utilized as data collection instruments. Data analysis involved correlation and regression tests.

Based on the results of multiple regression analysis, age (p = 0.008, β = -0.142), economic status (p = 0.006, β = 0.150), family support (p = 0.011, β = -0.191), and overall support (p = 0.016, β = -0.180) were found to be significantly associated with overall happiness. According to the findings, an increase in overall support, age, and family support was associated with a decrease in happiness, while an increase in economic status was linked to an increase in happiness.

Based on the results, there was a weak and negative correlation between perceived social support and happiness. Such a result in adolescents needs more investigations because probably more support shows itself in the form of control, which is not approved by adolescents. The results can help planners to teach the principles of adolescent support to families and society.

Happiness, cheerfulness, and a positive attitude toward life events play a prominent role in marital satisfaction can significantly contribute to creating a sense of security and optimism for couples. The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of happiness training on students' marital satisfaction.

Participants were selected using a systematic sampling method and were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups using permuted blocks of size 4. The happiness training intervention consisted of six 2-hour sessions, conducted once a week by a psychiatric nurse exclusive for the intervention group. A demographic form and the Enrich Scale were used before and after the intervention in both groups. The data were analyzed using SPSS software, including descriptive statistics and analytical statistical tests such as chi-square and paired t-tests. The significance level was determined to be less than 0.05.

The comparison of mean marital satisfaction between the two groups did not show a significant difference before the intervention (P = 0.630). However, the mean marital satisfaction after the intervention had a statistically significant difference (P < 0.001). Comparing the mean marital satisfaction before and after the intervention in the intervention group revealed a significant difference (P < 0.001), but this difference was not significant in the control group (P = 0.520).

The results indicate that happiness training has a practical impact on the marital satisfaction of married students. An important step to reduce marital conflicts and increase couple's satisfaction is to hold workshops focused on happiness training.
