This cross-sectional study was conducted with 470 nurses in a city hospital between September and November 2021. Information Form, Nurses Professional Values Scale (NPVS), and The Individualized Care Scale-Nurse Version (ICS-Nurse) were used for data collection. The average score on the NPVS was 118.16 ± 21.9. The total ICS-Nurse score of the participants was 3.96 ± 0.7. A positive, weak and statistically significant relationship was found between the NPVS and ICS-Nurse in terms of clinical status, personal life, and decision-making subdimension scores (p < .05). The professional values of nurses were found to be at a moderate level which directly affect their approaches to individualized care. Having high levels of professional values can help nurses provide better individualized care to their patients.
