Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictors of attachment to God and resilience based on meaning in life among students of Behbahan Medical School.
Method: This is a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study. The         statistical population of this study included all students of Behbahan        University of Medical Sciences who were educated in the academic year 1395-96. The total number of students was 433, of which 266 were girls and 167 were boysThe sample consisted of 150 female students, 100 female   students and 50 male students who were selected randomly. Students    completed questionnaires of attachment to God, resilience, meaning of    life. Independent t-test, Pearson correlation, Liner regression and multiple regression were used to analyze the data. Data were analyzed using SPSS software.
Results: The results showed that there is a positive and significant           relationship between the meaningful variable with the meaningful variable in life and the attachment variables (safe, anxiety, avoidance), but between the variables of anxiety and avoidance and the meaningful variable in Life has no meaningful relationship. Also, there is a positive and meaningful relationship between the secure variable and the resilience variable, but there is no significant relationship between the components of anxiety and    avoidance with the meaningful variable in life.
Conclusion: It can be inferred that the more secure individuals are, the more emotional, psychological, and behavioral health they are. Being able to cope with the challenges of everyday life is a challenge.
