Introduction: The aim of study was to explain students' hope based on coping styles and meaning of life. The research method was descriptive-correlational and the statistical population of the study included all undergraduate students of Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) who were studying in the academic year 2009-2010. To determine the sample size, similar research studies was used. 200 students were collected for sample size. In order to collect research data from Snyder Hope Scale (SHS), Meaning of Life Questionnaire and Coping Strategies Questionnaire (Lazarus and Folkman, 1980) and to analyze the data from correlation coefficient and regression analysis using SPSS20 software was performed. In the first hypothesis, the results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between the variable of hope and problem-oriented coping style (Sig <0.05) and there is a negative and significant relationship between the variable of hope and emotion-oriented strategies (Sig <0.05). In the second hypothesis, the results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between hope and the presence of meaning in life and between hope and the search for meaning in life (Sig <0.05). In the third hypothesis, the results related to the beta of coping styles show that the problem-oriented strategy at 13% is able to predict meaningful changes in life in a positive and significant way (Sig <0.05). But the emotion-oriented strategy variable could not significantly explain the hope variable (Sig> 0.05) and the components of meaning in life also showed that the variables of meaning in life and meaning search can account for 24% and 13% of the changes in the hope variable, respectively. Predict a positive and significant face (Sig <0.05).
