Abstract

Introduction: Purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of social support in the relationship between hardiness and sense of coherence with quality of life in 2017.
Methods: In a correlation study, 116 employees of Musa ibn Ja'far and Army hospitals in Quchan were randomly selected and responded to WHO Quality of Life (1998), Antonovsky's sense of coherence (1987), Kobasa Hardiness (1979) and perceived social support questionnaires (1988). Data were processed through Mediated Hierarchical regression analysis by means of Baron and Kenny (1986) methods and using SPSS version 20 software.
Results: Findings Shown that hardiness and sense of coherence are correlated with quality of life separately (P <0.01) and predict it, but with the advent of social support, the relationship between hardiness and a sense of coherence increases with quality of life. The mediating role of social support in interacting with hardiness variables (P < 0.0001, F = 39.12) and sense of coherence (P <0.0001, FF = 14.85) significantly increased the variance of life quality variable.
Conclusion: Social support adds to the potency of the positive effects of hardiness and the sense of coherence on the quality of life. Therefore, implementation of management interventions in the hospital environment is recommended in order to increase the social support of the staff. The results are discussed for hospital managers.
