Aim: This research was conducted to determine the relationship between individualized care perception and empathy levels of nur- sing students. Methods: The research is a descriptive-correlational study conduc- ted with 135 students at Nursing Department the Faculty of Health Sciences of a university during the 2018- 2019 academic year. For data collection; Student Identification Form, Individualized Care Perception Scale and Empathic Tendency Scale were used. Results: When the individual characteristics of the nursing students were examined, it was found that the mean age was 20.93 ± 2.08, 59.3% were female, 97% were single, 53.3% were willing to choose nursing, and 93.3% had no chronic disease. The mean score on the Individualized Care Perception Scale of nursing students was deter- mined as 4.03±0.54, and the mean score on the Empathic Tendency Scale was determined as 65.59±9.87. There was no significant relationship between the mean scores of the Empathic Tendency Scale and the Individualized Care Scale scores of nursing students (p> 0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that there is no relationship between the empathic tendency and the perception of individualized care in nursing students. In the study, it was determined that the empathic tendencies of nursing students were at a moderate level, and their perceptions of individualized care were at a good level.
