Objective: MS is chronic and progressive in nature and affects various aspects of a person's life and affects his or her thoughts. The aim of this study was to predict the tendency to suicidal thoughts based on psychological hardiness and perceived Physical image in MS Patients. Method: In this descriptive correlational study, according to Morgan table and by available sampling method, 306 people were selected as a sample group from a statistical population of 1500 patients with multiple sclerosis in Qom in 1399. The instruments used were questionnaires of Suicide ideation (Beck, 1961), Psychological hardiness (Lang and Golet, 1981) and Body-Self relationships (Kash et al., 1987). Data analysis performed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression using SPSS22 software. Findings: The data showed that the tendency to suicidal thoughts was significantly correlated with psychological hardiness (r=-0.762, p<0.01) and perceived body image (r=-0.424, p<0.01) and also showed that psychological hardiness with beta -0.734 and perceived body image with beta -0.156 at the error level of 0.05 can predict the tendency to suicidal thoughts. Conclusion: The results of the study suggest that the promotion of psychological hardiness in patients with MS allows access to a list of coping strategies against the pressures caused by events; improving body image perception leads to their problem-oriented approach to problems and maintaining their mental health.
