As scores on the Work Environment Scale fall, scores on the General Health Questionnaire rise.Conclusion: While doing planning regarding intensive care nurses, it is necessary to consider their preference for working in intensive care units, desire to continue, competence, adequate support, and weekly work hours have effects on their work environment satisfaction and risk of mental disorder.
