This study was performed to investigate the efficacy of group logo therapy in the perceived stress and life expectancy in M.S patients. This study was a semi-experimental (pretest, posttest whit control group) design. Of the MS patients of the Iranian MS society, a sample of 20 subjects were chosen through random sampling and considering the availability conditions and then were put into two experimental and control group (10 patients in the experimental group and 10 patients in the control group).Measurement tools of the study included Schneider‘s life expectancy questionnaire and Cohen’s perceived stress scale. Data was analyzed through analysis of covariance. Findings of the study indicated that group logo therapy had an effect on the reduction of perceived stress and on the increase of life expectancy. Given the obtained results indicating the effectiveness of logo therapy in the reduction of perceived stress and the increase of life expectancy among MS patients, the present study can be helpful in achieving an effective solution to the decrease of stress, despair and to the improvement of mental condition in general.
