  "abstract": "Introduction: Effective interpersonal communication is crucial in nursing, heavily influenced by emotional regulation, social acceptance, and self-control skills. These factors can significantly affect the quality of patient care and overall healthcare outcomes. Objective: This study aimed to predict emotional regulation strategies of Iranian nurses based on their social acceptance and self-control. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive analytical study with a cross-sectional design that was conducted on 200 nurses from hospitals in Baneh, Kurdistan Province, Iran. Due to the limited number of employed hospital nurses in this county, a census sampling method was used. Data were collected using Gross and John’s Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), Social Desirability Scale (SDS), and Tangney's Self-Control Scale (T-SCS). Statistical analysis was done using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Pearson’s correlation test, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and multiple linear regression analysis. Results: The mean age of participants was 39±7.34 years (ranged 23-51 years) and majority of them were female (89%). Additionally, their mean work experience was 19 ± 8.12 years. The results revealed the significant positive correlation of social acceptance (r = 0.478, p =0.01) and self-control (r = 0.804, p =0.01) with emotional regulation. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that both social acceptance (β = 0.84, 95%CI: 0.62-1.26, p= 0.01) and self-control (β= 0.728, 95%CI: 0.64-1.25, p= 0.01) were significant predictors of emotional regulation (R2 = 0.681). Conclusion: The findings underscore the ability of social acceptance and self-control to predict emotional regulation strategies of Iranian (Kurdish) nurses. By fostering these attributes, hospitals can improve their nurses' emotion regulation, ultimately enhancing patient care quality and patient satisfaction.",
