Purpose: This study was done to identify effects of a life-esteemed education applied logotherapy on life respect, meaning of life, and depression on older elementary school students. Methods: A nonequivalent control group and non-synchronized design was conducted with a convenience sample of 142 students. The program named ‘My Precious Life’. consisted of one session per week for five weeks. Students were assigned to the experimental group (n=70) or the control group (72). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square, Fisher’s exact test, t-test, and repeated measured ANOVA with the SPSS/PC 18.0 program. Results: Meaning of life and life respect increased significantly and depression decreased significantly for participants in the experimental group. Conclusion: The results of the study indicate that life-esteemed education applied logotherapy is effective in improving meaning of life and life respect and in decreasing depression in elementary school students. It can also be used to prevent existential distress and to intervene as a motif for having hope in life.
