Abstract :
According to World Health Organization data, cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, and the world's people are the most affected by cardiovascular disease.The purpose of this study was to investigate the structural pattern of relationships between personality traits, quality of life and life expectancy with hardiness mediating in cardiac patients. The study was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlational in terms of method, where the correlation between each variable was analyzed through modeling and path analysis. The population was all outpatient and hospitalized cardiac patients from April 2018 to June 21, 2018 who were admitted to Farshchian Hospital wards and outpatients admitted to the heart clinic as well as the offices of cardiologists in Hamadan. Then 250 subjects were selected randomly using convenience sampling method.The research tools consist of quality of life questionnaires (Varsharbun, 1992), hardiness questionnaire ( Kobasa , 1979), five factors of the Neo character (Costa and McCraey, 1992) and the Life Expectancy Test (Miller & Powers, 1988). SPSS-22 and AMOS-22 were used to analyze the data. In general, using the structural equation modeling technique and using the Amos22 software, the research hypotheses are tested. The results showed that the coefficients of life expectancy and personality traits had a significant correlation, with standard coefficients of 0.249 and 0.386, with hardiness of cardiac patients.
