Critical care unit plays an integral role as it integrates techniques and principles for ensuring high-quality care in a dynamic work environment.

The descriptive correlational study design following a quantitative research design was used. Purposive sampling was employed for selecting 143 critical care unit nurses from Al-Ansar General Hospital, Saudi Arabia. A survey using a teamwork effectiveness self-assessment questionnaire was held for collecting data, which was then statistically analyzed. RECENT FINDINGS- Findings showed a significant and positive correlation between nurses’ interests and priorities with their job functions and problem-solving abilities.
