Method: This study was carried out in Dr. Burhan Nalbantoglu General Hospital in Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.

Percentages, averages, Student-t test, one way ANOVA test, Pearson's correlation analysis were used in the analysis of the data. Results: According to the results of the Symptom Check List, scores were high for somatization in 67.5% of the nurses, for obsessive compulsive symptoms in 57.2%, for interpersonal sensitivity in 52.5%, for depression in 50.3%, for anxiety in 50%, for hostility in 53.3%, for phobic reaction in 45.3%, for paranoid ideation in 60%, for psychoticism in 47.2% and for general symptom level in 50.3% of the nurses. Socioeconomic status, work unit, number of patients cared for by nurses, working position, weekly working hours, number of shifts per month, physical environment, problems with patients, doctors and managers, and problems in the use of equipment were found to have effect on the levels of psychiatric symptoms among nurses.
