Nurses, who are in constant communication with patients, their families, and other healthcare professionals, are at risk of inadequate psychological resilience and social intelligence. These two concepts can be supported through in-service training. The study was conducted to compare the social intelligence and psychological resilience levels of nurses and to examine their relationship with different variables. Our study was conducted in a descriptive and correlational manner. It was conducted in certain hospitals between March 2020 and October 2020. The Sociodemographic Data Form, Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA) and Tromso Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS) were used to collect data. According to the study results, the total TSIS score average of the participants was found to be 75.58±9.90. The average RSA total score was calculated as 123.62±19.01. A significant positive correlation was found between RSA and its sub-dimensions and TSIS and its sub-dimensions (p<0.05). In this study, it was determined that the psychological resilience and social intelligence levels of the participants were above the moderate level. It has also been shown that there is a relationship between psychological resilience and social intelligence levels. When the data collection process was planned, it was not during the Covid 19 pandemic period. Since the data collection was collected during the Covid 19 pandemic period, it also includes information about the Covid 19 pandemic period. It provides information about the social intelligence and psychological resilience of nurses during the Covid 19 pandemic period.
