description Aim: Nurse's autonomous behavior in professional roles is of great importance in ensuring nursing professionalism. The aim of this research was to develop Autonomous Behavior Scale Regarding Professional Roles of Nurses (ABSRPRN). Method: A methodological research using instrument development and instrument verification phases: (1) creating the item pool, (2) preliminarily evaluating items and (3) refining the scale and evaluating psychometric properties. Data were collected between June and October 2022. Psychometric properties of scale were tested with 534 nurses. Content validity, construct validity, internal consistency and temporal stability were evaluated. Results: The scale consisted of 23 items and four subdimensions; care, education, research, and management explained with 64.482% total variance. Model fit indices obtained with confirmatory factor analysis were at acceptable levels. Also, the convergent and discriminant validity of the scale was found sufficient. The scale was temporarily stable with 0.983 correlation and has a high internal consistency with 0.932 total Cronbach alfa coefficient. Conclusion: The ABSRPRN with 23 items and four subdimensions is a psychometrically valid and reliable measurement instrument.
