The happiness and hopefulness of nurses are not only known that contribute to their emotional well-being but also professional creativity, improve the quality of nursing services and organizational performance. Therefore, knowing which factors affect nurses' mental well-being and future expectations can provide information for nursing workforce planning policies. This study was conducted to determination of Nurses' happiness, hope, and future expectations and the factors influencing them.
326 nurses from 52 provinces of Turkey participated in this descriptive study. The data collection instruments included a Demographic Characteristics Form and questions from the Turkish Statistical Institute's Life Satisfaction Survey to assess overall happiness, hope, and expectation levels. The study data was collected using an e-survey prepared through Google Forms in line with the principle of voluntarism. In the study adhered to the EQUATOR checklist for descriptive studies.
The average scores for overall happiness, hope, and future expectations among the participating nurses were found to be 2.34 ± 0.98, 2.22 ± 0.95, and 1.26 ± 0.54, respectively. It was determined that the levels of happiness, hope, and future expectations of nurses are influenced by satisfaction with income, income's ability to meet needs, and personal development over the last five years.
The study concluded that the overall happiness and hope levels of nurses are low, while their future expectations are at a moderate level. Satisfaction with income affects the happiness and hope levels of nurses. Three quarters of the nurses participating in the study want to work abroad. This situation may lead to a need for qualified nurses in the future.
护士的幸福感和希望感不仅有助于他们的情绪健康，还能促进职业创造力、提高护理服务质量和组织绩效。因此，了解哪些因素影响护士的心理健康和未来期望可为护理人力资源规划政策提供信息。本研究旨在确定护士的幸福感、希望感和未来期望以及影响它们的因素。
来自土耳其52个省份的326名护士参与了这项描述性研究。数据收集工具包括一份人口统计学特征表格以及土耳其统计局生活满意度调查中的问题，以评估总体幸福感、希望感和期望水平。研究数据通过谷歌表单按照自愿原则编制的电子调查问卷收集。该研究遵循了描述性研究的EQUATOR清单。
参与研究的护士总体幸福感、希望感和未来期望的平均得分分别为2.34±0.98、2.22±0.95和1.26±0.54。确定护士的幸福感、希望感和未来期望水平受到收入满意度、收入满足需求的能力以及过去五年个人发展的影响。
