Aim: The purpose of this study is to develop a measurement tool to explain expectations and basic principles that help healthcare professionals focus on the ethical issues they face. Method: In the study of the Healthcare Professionals Ethical Codes Scale (HPECS), the relevant literature was reviewed, the scale items were created by examining the studies, and then expert opinions were obtained. After adjustments made in line with expert opinions and 3 separate pilot studies conducted with 442 healthcare professionals, the validity and reliability study of the HPECS consisting of 29 items and 5 sub-factors was conducted. The data obtained was analyzed with SPSS 23 and AMOS 18 package programs. Results: The item loadings of the health professionals' code of ethics scale ranged between 0.972 and 0.501. It was determined that the variance explained by the 5-factor structure in the scale was 76.724%. The Cronbach's Alpha value of the scale was determined to be very good with a result of 0.902. The names of the factors in the scale were named by the study team as patient rights and privacy (10 statements), professional care (9 statements), solidarity (3 statements), ethical dilemma (3 statements), justice and equality (4 statements). Conclusion: It was decided that the developed HPECS can be used as a reliable tool to measure expectations and basic principles that help healthcare professionals focus on ethical issues.
