Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between work, life satisfaction levels, and teamwork attitudes of intensive care nurses who work in a public hospital in Turkey.

Methods: This was a descriptive and correlational study. The sample consisted of nurses working in intensive care units. Tools used to collect data were the “Sociodemographic Question Form,” “Nurse Job Satisfaction Scale” “Life Satisfaction Scale” and “Teamwork Attitudes Questionnaire” were used to collect the data.

Results: A total of 217 nurses participated. In the study were a mean age of 35.32 ± 7.70. Most, 78.2% of the participants (n=170) were female, 65.90% (n=143) were graduates, 67.70% (n=147) were married, and 62.7% (n=136) had children. In this study, the LSS, NJSS, and T-TAQ scores for Intensive Care Nurses (ICNs) were determined to be 14.21 ± 4.28, 84.34 ± 16.71, and 99.11 ± 21.48, respectively. The respondents reported moderate and high scores on all three scales, and these scores positively correlated at the same time.

Conclusion: In this study, which explores the interrelationships among these three distinct domains, is unusual in this regard. There was a positive correlation between the scores on the LSS, NJSS and T-TAQ in this study. It was determined that there was a positive relationship between LSS, NJSS and T-TAQ. Each scale score affects the scores of other scales. In our study, it can be said that ICNs' job satisfaction, life satisfaction and teamwork attitude levels are at medium level and above. Academicians, chief nurses, institution managers, and health system managers play important roles in the satisfaction of nurses whose satisfaction level is high.
