Results: It was determined that a positive correlation was found between the PGS score and IPAO (r = 0.229, p<0.001). A negative correlation was found between total score of the sociotropy, the disapproval anxiety and pleasing others subscales and the PGS score (r =-0.159, p<0.05; r=-0.189 p<0.05; r=-0.162 p<0.05; respectively). Also a positive correlation was found between total score of autonomy, individual achievement, freedom and solitude subscales and PGS score (r =0.293, p<0.001; r=0.311 p<0.001; r=0.217, p<0.001; r=0.1158, p<0.05, respectively).
Conclusion: According to the results of the research, the gender attitudes of the nursing students are positive and their understanding of autonomy is moderate. In addition, students' professional attitudes are high. It is important that students' education is planned in a way that promotes autonomy and egalitarian understanding.
