Instrument & Methods: This cross-sectional was conducted from May 2021 to March 2022 on 330 nurses from large teaching hospitals affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. The subjects were selected by available sampling. Data were collected using the Professional Collaboration and Cambodian Nursing Care Quality scales. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS 22 software. Findings: The means of the nurses’ ages and work experience were 28.5±4.54 and 7.99±6.51 years, respectively. The nurses’ mean score for the professional collaboration subscale was 20.47±5.04; their quality of nursing care mean score was 135.94±18.20. The results showed a significant direct correlation between the variables of professional collaboration and the quality of nursing care (r=0.44; p<0.001). However, the professional collaboration did not correlate with the nurses’ demographic characteristics (p>0.05). Conclusion: There is a positive correlation between professional collaboration and quality of nursing care.
