Purpose: The study was to identify relationships among the Anger-in, Forgiveness, and Quality of Life in Clinical Nurses.

Anger-in, Forgiveness, and Quality of Life were measured using a structured questionnaire. The instruments included Anger-in Scale, Forgiveness Scale, Quality of Life Scale. The collected data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, independent t-test, One-way ANOVA, $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test and Pearson's correlation coefficients by SPSS/WIN 18.0 for windows. Results: There were significant correlations among anger-in and forgiveness(r=-.34, p<.001), anger-in and quality of life(r=-.33, p<.001), forgiveness and quality of life(r=.27, p<.001). There was a statistically significant difference in Anger-in of participants according to nurse's satisfaction of job. Forgiveness showed significant different according to nurse's perceived health status, belief of religion, turnover intension, and job satisfaction. Quality of life was significantly different according to nurse's age, perceived health status, work period, work pattern, night duty, turnover intention, motivation of choice in nursing and job satisfaction.
