Abstract :
    Positive thinking, as a new approach in psychology, focuses on understanding and describing happiness and feeling of mental well-being, as well as accurately predicting the elements that affect them. From a positivist point of view, this approach deals with the treatment of problems and disorders by increasing the mental feeling of well-being and self-compassion. Self-compassion means emotionally accepting what is happening to us in a moment. When it comes to human compassion for each other, it is taken for granted. However, the concept of self-compassion is a different matter, and self-compassion seems a bit more complicated than compassion for others at first glance, but in fact, self-compassion is no different from compassion for others. Psychological flexibility refers to a person s ability to focus on the current situation and use the opportunities of that situation to take steps in the direction of goals and internal values ​​in the presence of unwanted psychological events. According to the explanations provided, this research aims to investigate the relationship between positive thinking and self-compassion with psychological flexibility (case study: nurses with shifts in public hospitals in Zarand city)
