High quality of work life is recognized as a major factor in human resources empowerment required by the health care system .Because nurses are a critical component of the country's health care system, the present study examines the role of emotional rumination, emotional empathy and mindfulness in predicting the quality of work life of nurses. The present study was a descriptive-correlational study .The statistical population of the study included all nurses working in Tabriz hospitals in 2018 and a sample size of 150 nurses selected by cluster random sampling method .To collect data, the Nullen Hoeksma and Moro ruminal response scale (1991), the affective sympathy of Mehrabian and Epstein (1972), the Kentucky Mindfulness Skills Questionnaire (2004) and Walton Work Quality Scale questionnaire (1973) were used. The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression Were analyzed .The results of this study showed that the quality of work life of nurses was significantly (P<0/01) with mindfulness and emotional empathy, but there was no significant relationship with ruminal variables .Regression results also showed that the variables of emotional intelligence and emotional empathy justify a total of 8% of variance in the quality of nursing work life. Considering that nurses play an important role in improving the health of the community, improving the quality of their working lives through psychological factors, especially emotional empathy and mindfulness, which in this study has a significant relation with this variable, is considered as a priority health issue.
