Abstract
Background/Objectives: This study was conducted to verify the effects of quality of life and stress on the happiness of nurses in general hospitals. Methods/Statistical analysis: The participants were 173 general hospital nurses. Data were collected from November 1 to 15, 2018, and analyzed using SPSS 25.0 program. The significance level was set at .05. Findings: The results showed a significant difference in happiness (p<.05) depending on the general characteristics of age, marital status, number of beds of the hospital, number of nurses of the hospital, job satisfaction level, colleague relationship satisfaction level, employment status, and subjective health. Further, stress and happiness displayed a significant negative correlation (r = -.27, p<.001). Job satisfaction level and subjective health were identified as significant influencing factors on happiness. Improvements/Applications: The implementation of a happiness promotion program that considers the influencing factors is needed to promote the happiness of nurses in general hospitals.
