Özet: Gender roles define the features and behaviors traditionally attributed to the both sex. This study was therefore designed to determine the relationship between the general self-efficacy and gender roles of students studying in a faculty of nursing and the factors affecting their gender roles. The study universe consists of nursing students studying in the 2018-2019 school year in the Faculty of Nursing of a university. No sample was chosen in the study. The personal data form, gender roles attitude scale and general self-efficacy scale were used to collect data by researchers. The analyses of the data obtained in the study were conducted using SPSS 20 statistical analysis program. As a result of the study, students’ general self-efficacy was found to be at midlevel, while they adopt the traditional attitude related to gender roles; besides, factors affecting students' gender roles attitude were found as sex, grade, and mother's educational status; furthermore, no relationship was found between the general self-efficacy and gender roles attitude. In order to create awareness about gender roles, it may be suggested that gender equality courses should be taught in all departments of universities.
