Abstract

The aim of this study was studying the relationship between religious coping strategies and happiness with meaning in life in blind people in Iran in 2015. This research was a Correlation study with sample size of 103 blind people (17 to 55 years) of Yazd in Iran, selected by convenience sampling method. Data were gathered by Islamic Coping Strategies Scale (ICSS), Oxford Happiness Inventory (OHI) and Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ). SPSS-16 was used for analyzing data. Correlation coefficient results showed a positive significant correlation between religious coping strategies (Cognitive, Behavioral and Emotional) and happiness with meaning in life, also there was a positive significant correlation between religious coping strategies and happiness (p < 0.01). T-test showed that there was no significant difference between religious coping strategies, happiness and meaning in life in male and female blind people (p > 0.05). Stepwise regression showed that happiness, emotional, cognitive and behavioral subscales were respectively the strongest predictors for meaning in life. It can be concluded that religious and spirituality among blind people help them faced life's challenges more logically. This factor has an important role on increasing the levels of happiness and meaning in life.
