Background and Objectives: The present study was conducted with the aim of the effect of spiritual intelligence on improving life expectancy and death anxiety, on the resilience of cancer patients. Since certain diseases are now recognized as a life-limiting chronic disease, not an incurable disease. It puts a lot of anxiety and pressure on the person and with the appearance of the symptoms of the disease, the accompanying emotional responses begin, for this reason, spiritual intelligence combines the structures of spirituality and intelligence in a new structure, and its application increases adaptability and, as a result, mental health. It becomes people.
Materials and methods: The present research is aimed at determining the prediction of spiritual intelligence and life expectancy in death anxiety and resilience of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and in a descriptive (non-experimental) form and of the type of correlational and statistical population projects, including all patients with cancer. It was performed in the city of Isfahan in 2023. The number of samples according to the number of independent variables (spiritual intelligence and life expectancy) was 80 people and according to the availability of cancer patients who referred to chemotherapy centers in Isfahan city, available sampling method was used. The research tools included Abdullahzadeh et al.'s Spiritual Intelligence Questionnaire, Schneider et al.'s Life Expectancy Questionnaire, Connor and Davidson's Resilience Questionnaire, and Templer's Death Anxiety Questionnaire. Pearson and multiple regression and 22-spss software were used to analyze the data.

Findings: The results showed that in the best model for predicting death anxiety, spiritual intelligence predicts death anxiety, and in the best model for predicting resilience, spiritual intelligence and life expectancy are able to predict resilience, and spiritual intelligence has a greater contribution in this field. In this way, spiritual intelligence, hope for life as predictor variables and death anxiety and resilience as criterion variables have entered the regression equation, which have a good fit and the changes explained by the model are real and not due to chance and coincidence, so spiritual intelligence has more contribution in this field and based on this the main hypothesis of the research is confirmed.
Conclusion: In this study, step-by-step regression was used to answer the main research hypothesis. The analysis of regression assumptions including normality, distribution of errors, independence of errors, multiple collinearity between predictor variables has been carried out that there is an average relationship between predictor variables and criteria variables and it has a good fit and this predictor The nose is significant. The results of this study confirm the importance of spiritual intelligence and self-esteem as influencing variables on the life expectancy of cancer patients; Therefore, it can be said that by strengthening their spiritual intelligence, their self-esteem and self-control increases and leads to the improvement of their physical and mental health.
