Introduction: In health care, work dynamic is one of the variables affecting in medication errors by nurses as a result of changing health care program, procedures and physician orders may be confused and disoriented and eventually medication error occur. This aim assessing factor analysis, validity, reliability and psychometric characteristics of "work dynamic" scale in medication errors by nurses in Iran

Factor analysis, rotated matrix determined 2 factors: 1] team dynamic 2] Continuous work dynamic. Also reliability using Cranach's alpha coefficient for internal consistency showed high reliability of scale [alpha=0.81] and correlation coefficient in test- retest for stability [r=0.93]
Conclusion: Although translations of "work dynamic" scale in nursing medication errors has satisfactory reliability and validity and can be used in the Iranian health system
