This descriptive survey study examined nursing professionalism, compassion competence, and factors influencing the happiness index among shift-working nurses based on Authentic Happiness Theory. Data were collected from 208 nurses at a university hospital in Seoul and analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression. The happiness index was significantly associated with nursing professionalism and compassion competence, which were also positively correlated. Nursing professionalism, compassion competence, gender, and marital status were identified as significant predictors of the happiness index, explaining 37% of the variance.
