Purpose: Intense care nurses is the study of some characteristics of general health, socio-demographic and professional as a contributor to emotional work. Tool and Method: This study is a discontinuous and relational type of research. The study was conducted in two university hospitals in the west and southeast of Turkey between July and December 2018. The study included a total of 152 intensive care nurses working in intensive care units. The research was authorized by the ethical board, writers, institutions and nurses who adapted the scale. The data was evaluated by number, percentage, average, correlation and regression analysis. Results: The average age of intensive care nurses is 30.28±5.35, 68.4 percent women, 53 percent. 3 were found to love their profession "in the middle level" and the average number of responsible/careed patients was 5.05 (±2.95) When the deep-behavioral subdimensions in nurses are studied, it is found that the status of love for the profession (β=0.185, p<0.05) is significantly adverse. When the subdimensional superficial behavior is studied, it is found that the status of love for the profession (β=0.298, p<0.001) and the perception of the economic situation (β=0.211, p<0.05) are meaningful. The result: In this study, the general health status in intensive care nurses has not been significantly contributing to emotional work. As the level of loving the profession of nurses increases, it has been found that the lower dimensions of emotional work are increased to the "deep and superficial behavior". Institutional managers should support nurses to better manage their emotional work process and create a suitable clinical environment. It is also recommended to develop strategies necessary for nurses to love their professions.
