- Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of self-esteem on the level of happiness, life satisfaction, and hopelessness of nurses. Material and Methods: This descriptive study was carried out with 450 nurses working in 5 hospitals in the province of Gaziantep. Data were collected by using the Individual Information Form, as well as the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ), Life Satisfaction Scale (LSS), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Inventory; (RSEI), and Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS). Study data were analyzed using the package program SPSS 24.0. Number and percentage distribution, multiple regression analysis and stepwise regression analysis, Mann-Whitney U, and Kruskal Wallis tests were used in the evaluation of the findings in the study. Results: The mean total score of the nurses' LSS was 21.99 ± 6.53, their BHS total score was 5.40 ± 4.62, OHQ total score 111.74 ± 18.29, and RSEI total score average was 18.26 ± 4.03. As a result of the regression analysis, it was determined that self-esteem is a factor that predicts happiness, life satisfaction, and hopelessness. While 15.6% of the change in RSEI, and LSS scores were explained (Y LSS puanı=33.71-0.645*X RSEI), 30.5% of the change in RSEI, and OHQ scores were explained (Y OHQ puanı=157.63-2.513*X RSEI). 21.9% of the change in RSEI, and BHS scores were explained (Y BHS puanı= -4.42+0.538*X RSEI). Conclusion: Nurses' self-esteem was found to be a predictor of happiness, life satisfaction and hopelessness.
