Background & aim: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a common disorder in the central nervous system. It leads to cognitive, motor, and sensory impairment and causes various challenges for physical and mental health. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between psychological capital and acceptance of the disease with life satisfaction in patients with MS.
Methods: This study was a descriptive correlational research. The study population consisted of all patients with MS affiliated with the MS society of Hamadan, of which 300 were selected by available sampling method. Research instruments were psychological capital (including life expectancy, toleration, self-efficacy and life orientation items), Stuifbergen’s acceptance of chronic health conditions scale and Diner life satisfaction questionnaires. To analysis data, the correlation coefficient and stepwise regression analysis were used in SPSS v22.
Results: The results showed that 192 (64%) of participants were female participants and 108 (36%) were men. Their mean age was 34.72±9.02 and the duration of the disease was 5.98±4.25 years. There was a significant positive correlation between psychological capital with life satisfaction (p<0.001) and acceptance of life with satisfaction of life (p<0.001) in patients with multiple sclerosis.      
Conclusion: The results showed that with increasing of each component of psychological capital and acceptance of disease, life satisfaction in patients with MS increases. Therefore, by teaching the components of the psychological capital and accepting the disease, it can increase the life satisfaction of MS patients and help them better deal with the disease.
