Abstract Purpose This study was conducted to determine the mental well‐being and social support perceptions of nurses working in a Covid‐19 pandemic hospital. Design and Methods This study used a cross sectional design. The sample included 333 volunteer nurses. Findings Based on the marital and income statuses of the nurses, there was a significant difference between the multidimensional scale of perceived social support family subscale (p < 0.05). There was a positive, weakly significant relationship between the nurses' mental well‐being and their perception of social support (r = 0.381; p < 0.05). Practice Implications In conclusion, protective measures must be increased and social networks must be promoted to increase the mental well‐being and social support levels of nurses.
