Abstract :Objective: In the study, it was aimed to determine the psychological capital levels of nurses. Methods: The descriptive study was conducted with 138 nurses working in a training and research hospital. Data were collected with Personal Information Form and Psychological Capital Scale. Descriptive analyses, independent groups t test, Anova test and Pearson correlation test were used in the analysis of data. Results: The total score of the Nurses\\\' Psychological Capital Scale was found to be 105.11±12.97. When looking at the sub-dimensions of the scale, the highest average score was calculated as \\\"self-efficacy\\\" score average of 28.06±4.81, and the lowest average score was calculated as \\\"optimism\\\" score average of 23.18± 3.39. As a result of the study, a statistically significant difference was found between positive psychological capital level and marital status, total professional years, working time in the institution, number of shifts per month, department worked, working status, weekly working hours and working style (P <.05). Conclusion: This study revealed that nurses\\\' psychological capital levels were generally high. The highest score was observed in the self-efficacy sub-dimension, while the lowest was observed in the optimism sub-dimension. Significant relationships were found between psychological capital and some demographic and professional variables. These findings show that regular monitoring of nurses\\\' psychological capital and consideration of the influencing factors can contribute to improvements in areas such as workload management, working hours and shift planning. The findings obtained can provide significant contributions in terms of nursing management, human resources practices and vocational training programs.
