Since \u201cprofessional quality of life\u201d is vital for how well the healthcare system functions and there is not much research on how this connects to online bullying in Iranian nursing, it is important to look closer at this relationship. This study aimed to assess the association between cyberbullying and professional quality of life among nurses in Southeast Iran.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This research utilized a descriptive cross\u2010sectional design and recruited 335 nurses from Kerman University of Medical Sciences affiliated hospitals during 2025.

The mean scores of compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress were 34.71\u2009\u00b1\u20095.47, 16.03\u2009\u00b1\u20093.92, and 31.63\u2009\u00b1\u20094.90, respectively, all of which fell within the moderate range. Inferential findings indicated a significant positive correlation between cyberbullying and compassion fatigue, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress. Furthermore, cyberbullying emerged as a significant positive predictor across all three dimensions of professional quality of life in regression analyses. Additionally, key demographic and occupational factors including educational degree, shift type, employment status, gender, and marital status emerged as significant predictors within their respective models.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The findings indicated that cyberbullying was generally low and showed significant statistical associations with compassion fatigue in the analyses.
