Abstract


Quality of life refers to the personal standards of the people about their own life in general and specifically about their thoughts and feelings. The objective of the present research is to compare the level of depression, anxiety, recognizable flexibility and quality of life between divorced and ordinary women under the support of Imam Khomeini Committee in Jam. a number of 50 cases (25 ordinary and 25 divorced cases) were selected randomly between 1000 cases of ordinary women and 150 cases of divorced women under the support of Imam Khomeini Committee in Jam. Data was gathered using the questionnaire between the attendees and after their approval. The research tools were Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), World Health Organization Quality of Life – Brief Form (WHOQOL-BREF) and Acceptance and Action Questionnaire II (AAQ-II). The results using T-test for independent groups revealed that the anxiety and depression of divorced women were significantly higher than ordinary women. Besides, quality of life and recognizable flexibility of divorced women is lower than ordinary women. The findings of the research showed that as divorced women has passed a difficult stage in their lives, they could not overcome their anxiety and this resulted in an increase in depression coefficient, reduction in quality of their life and their flexibility. It is suggested that supportive psychotherapy courses are performed for these cases to get compatible with their new conditions.
