Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted between October and December 2021 in a private chain hospital group in Turkey, using an online survey. The sample of the study consisted of 331 nurses. The Individual and Work-related Characteristics Form, the Colleague Solidarity of Nurses Scale, and the Work Engagement Scale were used for data collection. Descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation, and multiple linear regression analyses were used in the data analysis. Results: In the study, the mean score of the Colleague Solidarity of Nurses Scale was 103.87 (±9.64), and the mean score of the Work Engagement Scale was 61.53 (±16.31). A positive and significant relationship was found between the scores that nurses obtained from the Colleague Solidarity of Nurses Scale and the Work Engagement Scale (r = 0.33, P <.001). In the regression analysis, it was determined that 6 independent variables affected nurses’ level of work engagement and that these 6 variables explained 17.9% of the total variance. Conclusion: The results revealed that colleague solidarity, being married, long-term professional experience, and a high perception of workload increased work engagement. The results also indicated that working as a nurse manager and having the intention to leave work reduced work engagement. © 2023, AVES.
