Objective: This descriptive-correlational study was carried out to determine the relationship between emotional intelligence levels and teamwork attitudes of nursing students. Method: The study has a descriptive-correlational design. A total of 469 nursing students participated in this study. To collect the study data, the “Personal Information Form”, “Emotional Intelligence Evaluation Scale” and “TeamSTEPPS-Teamwork Attitudes Questionnaire” were used. Descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Results: The emotional intelligence levels of the nursing students were low and the level of their attitudes towards teamwork was above the average. There was a positive and significant relationship between the mean scores they obtained from the overall Emotional Intelligence Evaluation Scale and TeamSTEPPS-Teamwork Attitudes Questionnaire and their sub-scales. Conclusion: Students' emotional intelligence levels are low and their attitude levels towards teamwork are above average. Therefore, emphasis should be placed on increasing students' emotional intelligence and teamwork attitudes during nursing education.
