Brief summary: The Covid-19 pandemic has affected global health systems and required healthcare professionals to show high performance. In this process, the mental health of intensive care nurses, who undertake the biggest burden in health systems, is negatively affected by the high working hours and patient care burden during the pandemic. When the literature is reviewed, pessimistic thinking, feeling hopeless and not enjoying life at more exacerbated levels can be observed in intensive care nurses. It is concluded that studies are needed to increase the motivation of intensive care nurses during the Covid-19 pandemic.In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the effect of motivational messages on optimism, hopelessness and life satisfaction of intensive care nurses during the Covid-19 pandemic.
