Methods: The population of this descriptive and cross-sectional study consisted of nurses working in intensive care, surgery and internal medicine services of a state hospital and the sample group consisted of 97 nurses who agreed to participate in the study.

Results: The total item score average of nurses' Individualized Care Scale-A-Nurse Version is 3.75+0.74. Subscale item score averages were 3.95+0.75 for the Clinical Status subscale, 3.37+0.95 for the Personal Life status subscale, and 3.94+0.95 for the Decision-Making Control subscale. Individualized Care Scale mean scores in nurses working in internal clinics and having between 21-30 years of experience in clinical practice were higher, and the difference was significant (p <0.05).
