INTRODUCTION
Divorce is a phenomenon that has psychological, social and economic consequences. Psychological dimension has special importance. Divorced person are encountered numerous interpersonal and personal conflicts such that they experience disturbed identity, the lack of hope, change in life style, serious problems in social and career network. Depression is one of the results of divorce and depression is the most wide spread mental disorders in widow (liker et.al 2014). Sligman (1990) called depression an a mental cold because it spreads a lot. In fact, depression is a pervasive illness and it hurts person's soul Sense of the absurd and discomfort, frustration and negative thoughts a depressed person has a slow behavior and he is usually deprived from routine activity and pleasant feelings and he is experienced some troubled times in some periods of his life.
Stressors after divorce cannot be considered apart from features such as self -confidence, self -esteem, optimism and hope, as well as economic prosperity, social acceptance and quality of life. On the other hand, in snyder's (2001) opinion, hope is an emotional power that move the imagination to positive things. Hope gives energy to humans and equip them and it acts as catalyst for work and activity. Hope imposes flexibility, exhilaration and the ability to get ride of life damages hose increases the life satisfaction. Hopefulness is a connection between behaviors related with aim and person's belief to achieve this aims. Hope theory is a cognitive theory that individuals follow their goals actively. George (2010) shows in his study under (the sense of well -being in late life) that life satisfaction increases the hope and happiness in last years of life. Therefore, in relation with the studies on divorce and it's psychological consequences, we attempt to focus on the relationship between the quality of life and hope to the future with depression among widow women and those who want to get divorce.

RESEARCH METHOD
Population, sample and sampling: The population of this study include all of those women the population of this study include all of those women who want to get divorce in Ahvaz city that they had referred to the family court and also include all of the widow women in Ahvaz city whose their age in below 40 years and they have spent 5 years after their divorce. From the mentioned community, 316 person were selected as study sample by using available sampling method. Research tools: Miller hope scale: Miller Hope Questionnaire (1988) consists of 48 items which it is codified based on 5 spectrum point Likert and it is grading on very disagree (1) to very agree (5). Hope scale scores range are between 48 to 240 which represent the high person hopefully and low scores show the lack of hope in person. Mortezaie (2010) integrated the Malaki reliability method with symptom's scale hope in the field of adult (1992). The correlation between these two measure expectancy was %89 that indicate the high validity of this scale. Hope scale reliability was obtained respectively 88% and 89% by using Cronbach's alpha and compilation method. Quality of Life scale: Quality of life questionnaire of health world organization (1998) includes 26 question and it measures 4 area of physical health, mental health, social relations and environment health and it has 24 question. (Every area has 7,3,6 and 8 question). Two questions don't belong to none of the area, and they evaluate health status and quality of life. All of questions have 5 options and liker scale that the fifth option represent the best position (score 4) and the first option is indicative of the worst position (score zero). In the current study, quality life reliability coefficient was obtained by Cronbach's Alpha and compilation method and they were respectively 91% and 85%. Depression questionnaire: Beck's depression questionnaire (1978) has two form of 21 and 13 question that we used the short from of them in this study. Every proposition includes a multiple choice scale which it's domain in from zero to there. Therefore, the minimum score and the maximum score are respectively zero and thirtynine that high scores show the high depression and low score indicate the lack of depression or low depression. Munaf and Siddiqui (2013) report Beck's depression questionnaire reliability coefficient by using Cronbach's alpha and bisection method and they were respectively %81 and %72.

As you see in the table 4, based on the results obtained from multiple regression analysis and by con current entrance method, multiple correlation coefficient for the linear mixture of hope and quality of life with depression among widow women and divorce applicant correspond to MR=0.59 and determination coefficient is equal to RS=0.34 that the of hop to future in level (p<0.01), quality of lifeeffect, physical health and mental health in level (p<0.001) and social performance effect and environmental health in level (p<0.05) are significant. According to the obtained determination coefficient, it is obvious that depression variance is 34%.

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
It is confirmed the first hypothesis as a significant relation between hope to future and depression and this result are consistent with Rashidyan It can be judged that in Snyder's opinion (2000), individual with high level of hope can protect themselves against depression and they can be improved from depression in short period and there is less possible that they experience the depression again. Research's show that the depression symptoms and stress in hopeful persons will be reported lesser. Low hope can predict depression level and social -psychological faults.

Mathew et al (2014) expresses that hopeful ness is as the recovery target for individual life that they suffer from depression and stress, Because when physical damage is caused, hopefulness change the available status will be encounter with failure. Hopefulness helps persons to get philosophy of life based on their decisions and fate. In fact, hopefulness in the biggest weapon to overturn persons experience from depression after the negative life occurrences.
Beck (2000) expresses the hopelessness as the main symptom of depression and he says that hopelessness destroys the will and it causes insufferable position.
Studies are focuses on negative events such as divorces, death of the parents and incurable illness that may have a hopelessness advancement.
Hypothesis 2 as the relationship between quality of life with depression confirms that this findings are consistent with Haghgou et al (2009), Mendes (2013), Newton et al (2014) results. It can be stated that divorce is not the ending part of marriage stresses but some events and consequences are caused in tho last periods of marriage and they can influence life quality, behavior, widow woman health and emotions. This mediators include the care responsibilies'schildren, cut off communication with children (among widow women who are deprived of maintain children). Keep on conflict with the former wife, meet the child. The lack of emotional support because of reduction is casual relatives, reduced economic activity and some disturbed routine events like moving form suitable and the most expensive environment to the poor neighborhood and inadequate living facilities this effective factors on quality of life offer some mechanism that because of them, divorce on mental health, individual performance, life level and psychological welfare will have negative effects. In such circumstances, the possibility of the person gets involved in mood and emotion disorders is very high (Newton, 2014).
Hypothesis 3 which is the main hypothesis, it is confirmed as a multiple relationship existence between hope and qualify of life with depression significance in widow women and divorce applicant.
The Strong and significant role in explaining depression future prediction and quality of life. For divorced women and divorce applicant, it can be concluded that hope to life as a psychological characteristics of individuals has a significant effect on sense of responsibility, future's goal, selfefficacy, development motivation and psychological disorders suchas depression and stress. On the other hand, it is emphasized on quality of lifeas one of the social -individual variables and it affects on four components which IE includes two aspects of individuals and two social aspects. It means that two aspects of mental health and physical health pertaining to individual's components and environmental health and social performance are related to social space friend's network and colleagues. So it can be expected because widow women and divorced applicant don't have suitable quality of lifeand hope to the future, they suffer from depression and this two variable can explain depression significantly.
