 Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the association between psychological flexibility and the professional quality of life of nurses working in a mental clinic. Methods: In an eastern Turkish mental health facility, 151 nurses participated in this descriptive and correlational study. Surveys prepared through Google Forms were shared with nurses using WhatsApp groups. The study used the Personal Information Form, Psychological Flexibility Scale and Professional Quality of Life Scale, to evaluate the psychological flexibility and quality of life of psychiatric nurses. The data was collected online and analyzed in the SPSS 26.0 program. Results: Based on the results of the analysis, nurses psychological flexibility levels were found to be above average, professional satisfaction levels were found to be below average, and burnout and empathy fatigue levels were found to be moderate. Psychological flexibility, occupational satisfaction, and empathy fatigue were found to be significantly positively correlated; however, burnout was not found to be significantly correlated. Psychological flexibility explained 20.3 of professional satisfaction and 7.8 of professional quality of life.

 Giriş: Bu çalışma, psikiyatri servislerinde hizmet veren hemşirelerin psikolojik esneklikleri ile profesyonel yaşam kaliteleri ilişkisini araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve ilişkisel olan bu çalışma, Turkiyenin doğusunda bir ruh sağlığı hastanesinde 151 hemşire ile yapılmıştır. Google formlar aracılığıyla hazırlanan anketler WhatsApp grupları kullanılarak servis hemşirelerine toplu olarak iletilmiştir. Araştırmada, psikiyatri hemşirelerinin psikolojik esneklik ve yaşam kalitelerini değerlendirmek amacıyla Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Psikolojik Esneklik Ölçeği ve Profesyonel Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Veriler online olarak toplanmış ve SPSS 26.0 programında analiz edilmiştir. Bulgular: Analiz sonucunda elde edilen bulgulara göre hemşirelerin psikolojik esneklik duzeyleri ortalamanın ustunde, mesleki tatmin duzeyleri ortalamanın altında, tukenmişlik ve eş duyum yorgunluğu duzeyleri ise orta duzeyde bulunmuştur. Psikolojik esneklik ile eş duyum yorgunluğu ve mesleki tatmin arasında anlamlı ilişki saptanmış, ancak tukenmişlik ile anlamlı ilişki bulunmamıştır. Psikolojik esneklik, mesleki tatminin 20.3unu, profesyonel yaşam kalitesinin 7.8ini açıklamıştır. Sonuç: Bu çalışma, psikiyatri hemşirelerinin psikolojik esnekliğinin profesyonel yaşam kalitelerini olumlu etkilediğini göstermiştir. Hemşirelerin psikolojik esnekliğini arttırmak için kabul ve farkındalık stratejilerine dayalı psikososyal yaklaşımların uygulanması ve mesleki tatminlerini arttırmak için kurumsal destek sağlanması önerilmektedir.
