Material and Method: The study is descriptive, correlational and in cross-sectional type. The Nurses’ Professional Commitment Scale and State and Trait Anxiety Scale were used to collect data. Results: There is a significant relationship between professional commitment and state anxiety levels of nurses working in the pandemic service. This study, anxiety level and professional commitment of the nurses working in the pandemic service during the COVID-19 pandemic period was high. A significant regression model (Adjusted R2 = 0.71; F change = 4.855; p<0.001) and 71% of the variance in the dependent variable were found to be explained by the independent variables. It was determined that the predictor variables explained 81% of the variance in professional commitment level with an increase of 15% (Adjusted R2 = 0.81; F change = 2.846; p< 0.001). Conclusion: Demographic variables are associated with professional commitment. According to this study, nurses state and trait anxiety levels negatively affect professional commitment. Moreover, Sex, chronic illness, economic status, and alcohol consumption status of nurses affect their professional commitment.
