Method: 270 nurses, who worked at a university hospital and accepted to participate, were recruited to the study. The data were collected using the Introductory Characteristics Form, the Quality of Nursing Work Life Scale (QNWLS) and the Nursing Professional Commitment Scale (NPCS) during September-December 2017. Descriptive statistics, Independent t, Mann-Whitney U, One Way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis tests and Pearson Correlation analysis were used for the data analysis. Results: It was found that total mean score of the Nursing Professional Commitment Scale was 69.93±12.54, and total mean score of the Quality of Nursing Work Life Scale was 104.53±17.38. It was determined that there was a positive correlation between the Nursing Professional Commitment Scale subscale and total scale scores and the Quality of Nursing Work Life Scale subscale and total scale scores (p <0.05). Conclusions: It was determined that the professional commitment of the nurses participating in the study was good and the quality of work life was moderate. It has been determined that as the level of professional commitment of nurses increased, quality of work life level also increased. In line with these results, it may be recommended to plan and implement programs to increase professional commitment and quality of work life of the nurses.}, number={1}, publisher={Ordu Üniversitesi}, organization={Erciyes University Scientific Research Projects}
