Religiosity and positive psychological structures can play a role in explaining the meaning of life and QOL. Therefore, the current canonical analysis aimed to investigate the relationships of religiosity, hope, and optimism with the meaning of life and QOL among the spinal cord injury patients.

In this investigation, 150 samples were selected through convenience sampling method. The participants responded to the questionnaires of hope, religiousness, optimism, the meaning of life, and QOL developed by Snyder, Khodayarifard, Schweizer and Koch, Steger, and the World Health Organization, respectively.
