ABSTRACT
This is a descriptive research to identify the relationship and influential factors between nurses’ mental health, self-efficacy, work stress and coping types. The subjects of this research were 210 nurses. For data collection, a structured questionnaire was used from September 10 to 20, 2014. The results are as follows: There were a negative correlation between mental health and self-efficacy and a positive correlation between mental health (r=-.493, р=<.001), and work stress, a negative correlation (r=.384, р=<.001) with the problem-based (r=-.356, р=<.001), searching for social support (r=-.232, р=.001) and positive perspectives among the coping types (r=-.342, р=<.001), and a positive correlation with hopeful expectations (r=.180, р=.009).
