Overall, 98nurses were selected. Since the number of employed nurses was approximately thesame, all nurses were selected by the census method and based on the inclusioncriteria.Tools used included the "Demographic Questionnaire”, “MultidimensionalScale of Perceived Social Support" and "Quality of Nurses' Work Life".

Data were analyzed using the SPSS-20 software.Results: The highest mean value in social support belonged to the "family" dimension(5.19± 1.05) and the lowest to "friends" (4.50± 1.11), and overall mean social supportvalue was 4.78 ± 0.99. The quality of working life had the highest mean value in the"working life" dimension (3.67± 0.72) and the lowest in "personal life" (3.38± 0.89),and overall mean value of quality of working life was 3.57± 0.57 in nurses. The obtainedresults showed a positive correlation between social support and the quality of workinglife in nurses (r=0.25, P=0.02).Conclusions: The obtained results showed a significant and positive relationshipbetween perceived social support and quality of nursing working life. However, therelationship between subscales of these two variables was mildly confirmed. Generally,the present study results are in accordance with the results of previous studies
