The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between intern nurses' ethical sensitivity levels and their perceptions of individualized care. This study has a descriptive correlational study design. The sample of the study consisted of 70 intern nursing students who were in their last year of study in the nursing department of a state university in the Marmara region of Turkey between December 2022 and April 2023 and who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study. The data of the study were gathered with the "Individual Introduction Form", "Individualized Care Scale-Nurse Form" and "Ethical Sensitivity Questionnaire for Nursing Students". The mean age of the intern nursing students who participated in the study was 21.78±1.64 years, 80% of them were female, and 58.6% of them preferred the nursing profession willingly. The mean score of the total scale of the Individualized Care Scale was 4.46±0.39, while the mean score of the total scale of the Ethical Sensitivity Questionnaire for Nursing Students was 20.82±7.90. In addition, a significant positive correlation was observed between the mean total score of the Individualized Care Scale and the mean total score of the Ethical Sensitivity Questionnaire for Nursing Students. As a result of the study, it was revealed that nursing students had high levels of individualized care perceptions and moderate levels of ethical sensitivity. In addition, it was also found that there was a positive correlation between intern students' ethical sensitivity levels and their perceptions of individualized care.
