Workplace stress and workplace bullying are important problems experienced in healthcare environments. It is known that nurses experience workplace stress and workplace bullying at high rates. The aim of our study is to investigate the effects of workplace stress and workplace bullying on life satisfaction in nurses. Data were collected online from 163 nurses. Nursing Stress Scale (NSS), Negative Act Questinaire-Revised (NAQ-R), Satisfication with Life Scale (SWLS) were used as data collection tools. According to the results of the conducted analysis, it was observed that as NSS and NAQ-R scores increased, SWLS scores decreased, and these relationships were statistically significant. Furthermore, the NAQ-R score was identified as a significant predictor of SWLS scores. In our study, our hypothesis that workplace bullying predicts life satisfaction was confirmed; however, workplace stress was not found to be a significant predictor. To the best of our knowledge, our study is the first investigation exploring whether workplace stress and workplace bullying serve as predictors of life satisfaction. Additional investigations are required to draw more precise conclusions regarding the matter.
