Belonging to a team, in the broadest sense, is a result of feeling part of something larger than oneself to contribute to the overall success of the organization. Aim: This study aimed to assess nurses' utilization of team building strategies. Subject& method: The descriptive design was utilized to carry out the present study. This study was carried out in (11) Rural Health Units at El-Tal El-kebeer City, in Ismailia Governorate. All nurses (97) working in Rural Health Units at El-Tal El-Kebeer City, Ismailia Governorate were participated in the study. Tool of data collection: Self Administered Questionnaire Sheet was used to assess nurses' utilization of team building strategies. Results: The results indicated that majority of nurses utilized all team building strategies, especially commitment and connection strategies. There was no statistically significant relationship between age, sex, years of experience, nursing qualifications and utilization of team building strategies except cooperation strategy. Conclusion: most nurses were utilizing different team building strategies. Also, the common strategies that used were both commitment strategy and connection strategy. Recommendation: It is recommended to encourage nurses for the utilization of contribution strategy through: highlighting the talents, experiences, and accomplishment, providing professional development opportunities, participating in problem solving and decision making.
