Aim and Background: The present study aimed to predict the quality of life based on the perception of suffering, meaning of life, social support, and psychological flexibility in irritable bowel syndrome patients and by a correlational descriptive method.
Methods and Materials: The study's statistical population comprised 140 patients with irritable bowel syndrome in Isfahan in 2022-2023. To collect information from the quality of life questionnaires of Patrick and Drasman (IBS-QOL), the experience and perception scale of Scholz et al, the meaning in life questionnaire of Steger, Fraser, Avishi and Kaler, the acceptance and action questionnaire of the 2nd edition and colleagues and the background of the study of the medical consequences of social support (Sherborn and Stewart) were used.
Findings: The results showed that among the variables studied in the regression, the best predictor of quality of life was social support in the first step, the meaning of life in the second step, and the perception of suffering in the third step. Accordingly, in the first step, the coefficient of social support accounted for 52.6% of the variance of the quality of life, in the second step, the coefficients of social support and meaning of life accounted for 55.6% of the variance of the quality of life, and in the third step, the coefficients of social support, the meaning of life, and the perception of suffering accounted for 57/2%.
