“…However, with the new tools in this area that have been developed in recent years, the number of studies is increasing (Valentine, Nembhard, & Edmondson, 2011). In Turkey, although there have been studies conducted on teamwork as it relates to nursing (Çelik & Karaca, 2017; Düzgün et al, 2019) and other disciplines (Lafçı, Pehlivan, & Demiray, 2016), these studies used general tools that measure overall teamwork, rather than a valid and reliable tool that specifically measures nurse teamwork, as there are none available for this task.
