The purpose of this research is to study the effect of self-care and self-compassion on nurses' professional quality of life and well-being.Methods: The research had a cross-sectional design, used correlational methodology and a structural equation model was hypothesized. Along the study, 210 nurses from the Healthcare Public System of the Balearic Islands, participated. The study took place from June to September 2018.Results: The hypothesized model showed an overall adequate fit. Practice environment predicted both self-care and self-compassion, whereas nursing stress did not. Self-care and self-compassion predicted nurses' professional quality of life, whereas the practice environment and nursing stress were not predictors. Finally, professional quality of life showed a positive relationship with life satisfaction.Conclusions: The study presents a comprehensive structural equation model in which self-care and self-compassion are the best predictors of nurses' professional quality of life. A direct relation of professional quality of life and nurses' well-being has also been found, while controlling for the effects of nurses' practice environment and stress.enghttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Self-careOccupational healthBurnoutQuality of lifeNursingSpainAdultHumansJob SatisfactionMiddle AgedBurnout, ProfessionalCross-Sectional StudiesNursing Staff, HospitalMaleQuality of LifeFemalePersonal Satisfactionresearch articleAttribution 4.0 International325707951712436610.3390/ijerph171243661660-4601International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Healthopen accessFemeninoPersonal de Enfermería en HospitalMasculinoAgotamiento ProfesionalSatisfacción PersonalEstudios TransversalesHumanosSatisfacción en el TrabajoPersona de Mediana EdadCalidad de VidaEncuestas y CuestionariosAdultoEspaña2-s2.0-85086942820549579500001L2004619747
