 Giriş ve Amaç: Hemşirelik eğitiminin temel amacı, öğrencilerin özgüven sahibi, problemlerini çözebilen sağlıklı profesyoneller yetiştirmektir. Bu araştırmada, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin sosyal sorun çözme ve psikolojik iyi olma durumları arasındaki ilişkide duygu ifadesi ve benlik saygısının aracılık rolü incelenmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışma, analitik kesitsel desende yapılmıştır. Örneklemi 476 hemşirelik öğrencisinden oluşmuştur. Veriler, Sosyal Sorun Çözme Ölçeği, Rosenberg Benlik Saygısı Ölçeği, Duyguları İfade Etme Ölçeği ve Psikolojik İyi Olma Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Veriler, Process analizi ve Pearson korelasyon analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Analizler, psikolojik iyi oluş ile sosyal problem çözme becerileri arasında güçlü bir pozitif ilişki olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Sosyal sorun çözme becerisinin psikolojik iyi oluş üzerinde olumlu bir etkisi olduğunu ve bu ilişkide duygusal ifadenin aracılık rolü olduğunu ancak benlik saygısının bu ilişkide aracı bir rolü olmadığı anlaşılmıştır. Sonuç: Bu sonuçlar, öğrencilerin psikolojik iyilik halinin güçlendirilmesinde farklı becerilerin kazandırılmasının önemini göstermiştir. Profesyonel benliğin gelişiminde öğrencinin psikolojik iyi oluşunu güçlendirecek iletişim ve sorun çözme becerilerinin kazandırılması önerilmiştir.
