Aim: This research was conducted to determine the burnout status and commitment to the profession of nurses who provide care to patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in a training and research hospital.

Material and Methods: The research sample comprised 205 nurses caring for COVID-19 patients. In the collection of the data, “Descriptive Characteristics Form”, “Burnout Scale (BS)”, “Commitment to the Profession in Nursing Scale (NPCS)” were used.

Results: Nurses' BS mean score was 4.48±1.07, and it was determined that only 1% of them did not experience burnout. It was determined that the burnout status of 36.6% of them was at a crisis level. The average score of NPCS of the nurses was determined to be 68.73±13.14. A significant difference was found between the mean scores of total professional commitment and willingness to make an effort, according to the number of patients the nurses gave daily care to. A significant and negative correlation was found between the levels of professional commitment and burnout levels of nurses.

Conclusion: It was determined that almost all nurses working in pandemic service and intensive care units and providing care to COVID-19 patients experienced burnout, their level of professional commitment was above the average level, and commitment to the profession decreased as the level of burnout increased.
