The aim of this study was to investigate the difference in quality of life of the elderly aged 60 years and older living in 60 nursing homes in the two modes of receiving and not receiving inactive music therapy. The statistical population was 1800 people; The calculated sample size was calculated using Cochran's formula of 318 people and the questionnaires were distributed using simple cluster and random sampling method. Data collection tool is a standard 26-item quality of life questionnaire based on the Likert scale. The research method is methodologically quantitative and comparative. Findings indicate that the hypotheses about the difference in quality of life (Sig = 0.000), environmental health (Sig = 0.001), social relations (Sig = 0.011), physical health (Sig = 0.048), Mental health (Sig = 0.000) of the elderly has been confirmed in terms of receiving and not receiving inactive music therapy and the quality of life of elderly men is better than elderly women. Numerous music therapies such as playing music, singing, etc. can be taken to improve the physical and mental performance of the elderly to help increase their life expectancy and reduce mental illness.Music therapy is the use of musical skills to improve physical, mental function and emotional-social reactions, to help develop motor, academic, communication, social and emotional abilities, and ultimately to improve the quality of life.

The multi-stage cluster questionnaire was completed. Findings showed that less than 20% of respondents had a washing machine, computer, personal library and home furniture at home. Between 20 and 40 percent of respondents in their family have been involved with at least one social injury. Social and political participation has been below average. Regression analysis showed that the coefficient of impact of economic poverty on social participation was 0.13 and political participation was -0.22, ie the more economically poor people were the less social participation and the more political participation. The results of logistic regression analysis showed that respondents with less poverty were less likely to experience social harms, conflict, running away from home, divorce and addiction in their families. Conversely, they were more likely to experience social harms such as domestic violence, dropouts, child labor, and a history of imprisonment. In general, it can be concluded that poverty in the study population, as well as their education, income and occupation, has shown that poverty is a capability and structure that this poverty has shown in access to sustainable livelihood facilities and the formation of a kind of Social harms, social and political participation has led to deprived neighborhoods of Javanrood.The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of economic poverty in social and political participation and social harms in deprived neighborhoods of Javanrood Quantitative research method was selected using a survey, the statistical population was 16404 people and the sample size was 376 people.

In this research, using the concept of social exclusion, the sociological study of the research problem has been studied. The research method is grounded theory and 36 in-depth and semi-structured interviews were conducted with two groups of respondents, including clients and experts. After the triple typology of social exclusion and the corresponding types of dependence, a central phenomenon based on research findings called "passive dependence" has been constructed. The main causes of this phenomenon are known in four categories: "chronic rejection", "dependent socialization of women", "support system" and "stereotyping of female-headed households". The contextual conditions are categorized as "politicization of protections" and "increasing conditions of female-headed households". The terms of the interventionist are also constructed under the categories of "mismanagement" and "failure of law". The consequences of this phenomenon are also formulated in two categories: "continuous demand" and "employment avoidance". In this study, clients who have experienced chronic and intermediate rejection have a high capacity for passive dependence on support - as the main dysfunction of protectionist policies - and it is appropriate to adopt supportive policies for chronic outcasts commensurate with the status of rejection. They should take measures to prevent and control dependence on supports and deposition in the support system for these people.The aim of this study was to investigate the dysfunctions of supportive policies in women heads of households under the auspices of two support institutions of the Imam Khomeini Relief Committee and the Welfare Organization.

Entrepreneurial information-motivational empowerment was done on self-efficacy in job decision making and life expectancy of female-headed households. Twenty-two female heads of households referred to the Imam Khomeini Relief Committee of Ardakan were selected by convenience sampling in spring 1398 and were randomly divided into two experimental and control groups, each containing 11 individuals. The experimental group received 8 sessions of training based on the psychological empowerment components protocol based on the theory of Thomas Waltheus (1990), while the control group received no intervention. To evaluate the subjects, Taylor and Betz (1983) job decision self-efficacy questionnaire and Snyder's life expectancy questionnaire (1991) were used. The results of covariance analysis showed that motivational information empowerment training in entrepreneurship domain, increased self-efficacy in job decision making and life expectancy of female head of household had a significant impact. Career decision making and life expectancy were effective for female-headed households; this intervention is recommended for female-headed households in support institutions and on a larger scale to prevent further harm to these women.This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of education.
