Summary/Abstract: Quality of nursing care and nurses' performance in the field of patient care are influenced by professional values. It seems that adherence to professional values can reduce enormous consequences in nurses’ performance. The present study was carried out to determine the correlation between professional values and burnout of nurses. This descriptive correlation study was performed on 388 nurses working in one of the medical universities of Tehran, capital of Iran. The nurses were selected using the convenience sampling method. The data collection was done using Nurses Professional Values Scale-Revised (NPVS-R) and burnout inventory. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics by use of Stata software version 13. The results of this study showed that there is a significant and reverse correlation between all aspects of professional values with the mean score of severity of burnout (p = 0.001). The improvement of professional values in nurses decreases nursing burnout. By educating these values and developing strategies, nurses’ motivation to deliver service can be increased and. their burnout can be prevented.
