Abstract
Happiness, one of the parameters of quality of life, is from the features of personality.Having a feeling of consent and happiness in daily life is one of the main factors, which affects the healthiness of physical and psyche. Therefore, training happiness can be effective in: increasing joy, improving life quality, increasing the resistibility of physically ill people such as those who suffer from diabetes and cancer against the disease, and improving life expectancy in these patients. The main purpose of present research is to study the efficacy of Fordyce Happiness Model (FHM) on life quality of patients suffering from diabetes and cancer in Ardabil city. The statistical population of this research includes all patients suffering from diabetes and cancer hospitalized in Ardabil hospitals in 2009-2010. The sample includes 60 patients suffering from diabetes and cancer hospitalized in Ardabil hospitals, who are selected with random sampling method. In this research, which is of trial kind, independent and dependent variables are happiness and life quality, respectively. We use Fordyce collection of happiness instruction and questionnaire of life quality (SF-36) for data collection. For analyzing hypotheses we have used multi-variable variance analysis and LSD follow-up test.The results indicate that instructing FHM is effective in increasing the life quality of patients suffering from diabetes and cancer (P< 0.01). The factor of happiness not only safeguards people against physical and psychical diseases, and increases their capacity in different physical, social and psychical areas, but also has a direct impact on their life quality and improves its level. Instructing happiness can be of important role in: increasing joy, improving life quality, increasing the resistibility of physically ill people such as those who suffer from diabetes and cancer against the disease, and improving life expectancy in these patients.
