The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the emotional state of the nurses working in intensive care unit on their attitudes toward death. The study was conducted with the participation of 100 nurses working in intensive care units between July and December 2017. A positive statistically significant correlation was found between the nurses' status of approaching emotions and subscales of Death Attitude Profile ( p r = .281), escape acceptance ( r = .335), and fear of death and death avoidance ( r = .490) scores ( p < .05)
