Measures for data collection consisted of a demographic information sheet, and three scales including LOT-R (Ay,2009), DCI (Shuja et. al., 2020), and WHO-QOL BREF scale (Saqib,2017). A total of 80 women with a mean age of 35(SD=6.95) participated in the research. The collected data was analyzed by using SPSS version 25. Chi square ware applied with P-value< 0.05 as significant. Correlation revealed that optimism had a significant positive relationship with negative dyadic coping and with QOL scales except for Physical Health.
