A general information questionnaire, the General Well-Being Schedule, and the Psychological Reward Satisfaction Scale were used for the survey. Latent profile analysis was employed to establish the latent class model of clinical nurses\u2019 subjective well-being, and multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of different subjective well-being classes.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Clinical nurses\u2019 subjective well-being could be classified into three latent classes: the Low Well-being-Emotional Control Group (11.9%), the Moderate Well-being-Overall Fluctuation Group (61.0%), and the High Well-being-Health Concern Group (27.2%). Work intensity, family economy, department, whether to engage in nursing again, and psychological reward satisfaction were influencing factors of different latent profiles of clinical nurses\u2019 subjective well-being (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u202f&lt;\u202f0.05). A 1-point increase in psychological reward satisfaction was associated with a 14.0% decrease in the odds of being classified into the Low Well-being-Emotional Control Group (OR\u202f=\u202f0.860, 95% CI: 0.798\u20130.927), indicating that psychological reward satisfaction served as an independent protective factor.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n There is significant heterogeneity in clinical nurses\u2019 subjective well-being. Nursing managers should pay special attention to clinical nurses in the \u201cLow Well-being-Emotional Control Group\u201d and implement interventions based on the influencing factors of different latent profiles to improve their subjective well-being.<\/jats:p>\n
