The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of optimism training model by role-playing on reducing the rate of depression among low-vision girls in city of Tehran. This study was a quasi-experimental design with pretest- posttest with control group. For this mean, the available sampling method was used. 20 low-vision teenager girls with depression in “Narjes Blind School”, in the 2011 to 2012 academic year, was selected and randomly assigned in experimental and control groups. Experimental group during ten sessions were trained by group role-play, but the control group did not receive any training in this area. The research data collected by ‘adolescence and children depression test’ (CADS) and analyzed using ANCOVA test was used. The obtained results indicated that the training of optimism by role-playing have a significant impact in reducing of low-vision teenager depression (p<0/0001). So, this can be concluded that the optimism training method by role-playing was nearly stable effective in reduce depression rate of low-vision teenager girls.
