It was a correlation research study being conducted in three different centers i.e. Dar-ul-Amaan, Dastak Shelter Homes and Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Human Rights Centre for Women, Lahore Pakistan. Total sample size was 100 subjects who were selected for data collection. Purposive sampling technique was used for data collection, Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) was used for measuring mental stress level [1], Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (RSE) were used to measure a singular's emotions of self-esteem [2, 3]. The data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 18.0) by keeping 0.05 level of significance. A total of 80 subjects were approached in the study, weak negative relationship between perceived stress and life satisfaction was r (80) =-0.385, p<0.001 and our hypothesis I was accepted; A linear regression analysis revealed that perceived stress was a significant predictor of life satisfaction (β=0.40, p= 0.008) accounting for 16% of the variance in life satisfaction. Concerning the relationship between perceived stress and self-esteem highlights an insignificant relationship was found; r(80)=0.145, p=0.705 thus Hypothesis II was rejected. Also the relationship between life satisfaction and self-esteem was not significant r(80)=0.043, p=0.199 and hypothesis III was rejected. There was considerable negative relationship observed between perceived stress and life satisfaction among females facing domestic violence, an insignificant relationship between life satisfaction and self-esteem and similarly insignificant relationship between perceived stress and self-esteem was found among females facing domestic violence.

Data was analyzed with using the SPSS-19 software with Pearson correlation and multivariate regression with the enter model. Results: The results showed that self-compassion (r = 0.309), social support (r = 0.463), and hope (r = 0.571) had a positive and significant relationship with subjective well-being among nursing students (P < 0.01). The predictor variables indicated that self-compassion, social support and hope could predict 57.4% of variance in well-being of nursing students (R2 = 0.574) and in this model hope had a more significant role in the predicting well-being of nursing students. Conclusions: Regarding the results, the variables of self-compassion, social support and hope had an effective role in predicting the well-being of nursing students. Therefore, to improve the wellbeing of nursing students, along with conventional treatments, elements, such as hope, social support and self-compassion should receive extensive attention.
