The present research employed a descriptive (correlational) design using structural equation modeling. The statistical population consisted of all nurses working in the city of Qom, totaling at least 3,000 individuals. The sample included 200 nurses who were selected through purposive sampling based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. The research sample responded to the Spielberger Anger Questionnaire (Spielberger, 2003), the Integrative Self-Knowledge Scale developed by Ghorbani et al. (2008), and the Self-Compassion Scale by Neff (2003). Pearson correlation analysis, regression analysis, and structural equation modeling were used. The results indicated that integrative self-knowledge had a positive and significant effect on anger management among nurses, accounting for 31 percent of the variance in anger management through a direct and significant path (P ≤ .05). Self-compassion demonstrated a positive and significant effect on the relationship between anger management and integrative self-knowledge and played a significant mediating role between anger management and mindfulness (P ≤ .05). Based on the results, it can be concluded that anger management in nurses—given their direct involvement with patients’ lives—is a critical and vital issue. By emphasizing factors such as self-compassion and integrative self-knowledge, it is possible to improve anger management in nurses.</p> https://www.journals.kmanpub.com/index.php/psychnexus/article/download/4850/8731
