Aim: This study was planned and carried out to determine how teamwork attitudes of nurses working in surgical clinics affect their caring behaviors. Materials and Methods: The research was conducted as a relational descriptive study. The research population consisted of 126 nurses working in the surgical clinics of a state hospital. A total of 116 nurses who agreed to participate in the study were admitted to the study. Data were collected using the Descriptive Characteristics Question Form, the Teamwork Attitudes Questionnaire (TAQ), and the Caring Behaviors Inventory-24 (CBI-24). Data were analyzed using counts, percentage distributions, MannuWhitney U test, and KruskaluWallis tests, GamesuHowell post hoc test, and Spearman's correlation. Results: The nurses participating in the study were found to have a mean score of 112.11 17.86 for the TAQ and a mean score of 4.95 0.54 for the CBI. There was a statistically positive correlation between the nurses' teamwork attitudes and caring behaviors (P < 0.05). Conclusion: It can be said that the teamwork attitudes of the nurses had a positive effect on their caring behaviors. It may be suggested to plan relevant research studies examining especially observational behavioral assessments.
