In this pre-test/post-test intervention study design, 349 elderly men and women aged 65 and older were included, using each subject as her/his own control. The educational program was introduced to participants by trained research assistants through six 40-minute sessions over a period of four months. Quality of life by using Short Form Health Survey was assessed before and after the educational sessions. The paired t-test was used to compare the total and subscale mean scores of the Quality of life before and after the training. Physical component summary and mental component summary scores increased after implementing the educational program; (p<0.001). Such statistically significant increase was seen in all eight subscale mean (±SD) scores of the Quality of life. Applying the educational program has a significant effect on the Quality of life in the elderly.

According to some judges, scholars, and litigants, the FAA precludes courts from invalidating arbitration clauses under the contract defense of violation of public policy. However, in a practice that is impossible to square with that understanding of FAA preemption, courts have traditionally nullified arbitration clauses to advance a range of state interests, including preserving substantive rights under state law. Nevertheless, in AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion, the U.S. Supreme Court held that the FAA eclipses a rule that deemed class-arbitration waivers to be unconscionable when they prevented plaintiffs from pursuing numerous, low-value state law claims. Both Justice Scalia's majority opinion and Justice Thomas's decisive concurrence strongly implied that state public policy is not a permissible basis for striking down an arbitration clause. As a result, lower courts are now compelling arbitration-often through gritted teeth-of lawsuits that are destined to fail.
