Abstract
Introduction:  Recently, positive thinking and having a hopeful outlook on life have been considered as one of the most effective treatments for mental illness, especially hopelessness and depression among Western psychologists and humanities scientists. In this regard, monotheistic integrated treatment showed a good effect. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the Quranic-narrative model of hope therapy with the approach of integrated monotheistic treatment on the life expectancy of students of Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences in Yazd.
Method: In this quasi-experimental study,  a sample of 30 people was selected from all students of Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences in Yazd by convenience sampling. The participants were divided into two groups randomly (each group had 15 members). The group-counseling course was conducted in 5 sessions for the experimental group. To collect the data, Islamic Hope Scale of the Khalilian Shalamzari, Jandaghi, and Pasandideh (2013) was used. Data were analyzed using multivariate covariance test.
Results: The Quranic-narrative model of hope therapy using the integrated monotheistic treatment approach (in the form of group counseling) can be an effective treatment method on the life expectancy of students of Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences in Yazd.
Conclusion: The effect size coefficient showed that 89% of the difference between the experimental and control groups was related to the experimental intervention (P <0.000). The value of F indicated that the dimensions of life expectancy (purpose, effort, means, support, barriers to hope, relationship between person and support, and solution) increased in the experimental group  at the significant level of α=0.05.
