The mean score was 63.46±9.4 and the level of nurses to perform the role of caregiver in the individual according to gender was high. There is no statistically significant difference between the scoring averages of the attitudes of the nurses regarding the care role of the nurses according to the gender of the nurses involved in the study (p>0.05).
