The studies published in Persian or English and available in full text were included in the study.<br> <strong>Results</strong>: Overall, 22 studies were included in the final analysis. According to the results, a positive significant correlation was found between mental and social health skills and patients&rsquo; optimism. In particular, communication skills, problem-solving, and social support were more strongly associated with optimism.<br> <strong>Conclusion</strong>: Mental and social health can help boost patients&rsquo; optimism. These findings emphasize the importance of psychological interventions in enhancing patients&rsquo; quality of life (QoL). However, some limitations, including the diversity of measurement tools and study populations, lead us to be cautious about generalizing the results.&nbsp;<br> &nbsp;</div> Optimism, Mental health, Social health 211 220 http://cpr.mazums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-239-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Somaye Fallah Somaye.fallah59@gmail.com 10031947532846002590 0009-0009-6868-3526 Yes Department of Psychology, Ar.C., Islamic Azad University, Ardabil, Iran.
