Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the levels of self-reflection, self-esteem, and empathy and identify influential factors on happiness index in nursing students. Methods: The data was collected using questionnaires from a convenience sample of 275 nursing students. The data was analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficients, and multiple regression. Results: Mean scores of self-esteem, empathy and happiness index were 3.55, 2.89, 3.43, and 66.76, respectively. Self-understanding, self-esteem, and economic status had significant positive effects with a 42% of explained variance of the happiness index. Conclusion: The results suggest that self-understanding, self-esteem, and economic status should be considered as factors when developing intervention strategies to increase the level of the happiness index among nursing students.
