Ensuring happiness in older adults is critical for their mental health. The purpose of the current study was to identify strategies for creating happiness in Iranian older adults. A qualitative study was performed through content analysis and deep semi-structured interviews with 18 adults age 60 and older and one family member. Participants were selected through purposeful sampling, and data were encoded using MAXQDA. Data analyses revealed 187 codes, 23 subcategories, and four main categories: (a) self-centered strategies, (b) inductive strategies, (c) passive strategies, and (d) unselfish strategies. Following the four categories of strategies may lead to happiness in Iranian older adults. Self-centered strategies seemed to achieve better results given that such strategies can be learned and require involvement of older adults themselves.

确保老年人的幸福对他们的心理健康至关重要。本研究的目的是确定在伊朗老年人中创造幸福感的策略。采用内容分析法和深度半结构式访谈，对 18 名 60 岁及以上的成年人和 1 名家庭成员进行了定性研究。参与者通过目的抽样选择，使用 MAXQDA 对数据进行编码。数据分析显示，有 187 个代码、23 个子类别和 4 个主要类别：（a）以自我为中心的策略，（b）归纳策略，（c）被动策略，和（d）无私策略。遵循这四个类别的策略可能会导致伊朗老年人的幸福。以自我为中心的策略似乎能取得更好的效果，因为这些策略可以被学习，而且需要老年人自己的参与。[老年护理研究，13(5)，254-263]。
