 Regarding the importance of psychological well-being in improving the health of patients with heart failure, examining the affective variables such as resiliency and life expectancy are of great importance.

 This research was a descriptive correlational study. Statistical population consisted of all of Rasht heart failure patients in 2018. 265 heart failure patients were selected using convenience sampling. The data collection instruments were Ryff's psychological well-being, Connor and Davidson’s resilience, and Snyder et al's hope. Abstract
Aim. The aim of this study was to determine the role of resiliency and life expectancy in predicting psychological well-being of people with heart failure.

 There was a positive relationship of psychological well-being with resiliency (r=0.386) and life expectancy (r=0.396). The regression analysis showed that the meaning of life and subscales of factor thinking and spiritual influences can significantly predict 0.228 of psychological well-being in heart failure patients.

Regarding the determinants of psychological well-being in this research, psychological well-being and quality of nursing care in heart failure patients can be increased using interventions such as resiliency education programs and psychological treatments focusing on hope.The collected data were analyzed using pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression.
