Covariance analysis was used to examine the effectiveness of the elderly psychoeducation on their psychophysical quality of life and their IADL status. Results: The mean score of physical quality of life at pretest in the experimental group was 35.70 +-8.80. These score,were 38.53 +- 8.32 and 39.27 +- 7.80 in the first and second posttestrespectively. In terms of psychological quality of life, the mean of pretest score in the experimental group was 41.59 +- 9.47. It was 43.26 +- 9.09 and 47.19 +- 8.98 in the first and second post-test but in the control group the mean had decreased. The mean score of IADL in pretest for the experimental group was 9.98 +- 2.56 in the post-test it was 10.49 +- 2.31and 10.69 +- 2.34 in the first and second post-test, respectively.
