Background: Anyone suffering from spinal cord injury will face significant changes in almost all aspects of life. Challenges can be very difficult for people with limited personal and environmental resources. Aims: The aims of this study was to apply seven sessions of training  with the coping strategies and quality of life. Method: This semi-experimental study was performed with pretest-posttest design on people with spinal cord injury. 32 subjects were randomly divided into two experimental and control groups of 16 participant. Coping Effectively training was taught to the experimental group during 7 sessions. To examine the results, the Coping Preference Questionnaire (COPE) and the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF) was used. Data were analyzed using 21-spss software and mixed ANOVA. Results: The findings showed that there was no significant difference in the post test of the experimental group compared to the control group in the problem- oriented and emotional- oriented coping strategies and quality of life, but there was a significant reduction in the avoidance coping strategy. Conclusions: To improve the quality of life, there should be long-term interventions designed specifically for these individuals that address more aspects of the lives of people with SCI.
