Abstract

Introduction: The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the role of mental health on nurses' life satisfaction with the mediation of resilience in nurses.
Methods: The statistical population of this research included all the nurses working in Chalus and Nowshahr hospitals in the first 6 months of 2016. The research sample included 150 nurses who were selected by cluster random method. Data collection was done using three questionnaires: mental health (Kumar, 1992), life satisfaction (Diener et al., 1985) and resilience (Connor and Davidson, 2003).
Results: The findings showed that there is a significant relationship between mental health and life satisfaction of nurses (P<0.05); There is a significant relationship between resilience and life satisfaction of nurses (P<0.05); There is a significant relationship between mental health and resilience of nurses (P<0.05). Data analysis using structural equation modeling showed that the model of the relationship between mental health and life satisfaction with the mediating role of resilience fits the research data.
