Abstract

Introduction: Delivering nursing care in intensive care units has numerous challenges, one of which pertains to cultural concerns.

Methods: This study employed a descriptive-analytic strategy utilizing a cross-sectional approach. The study sample consisted of 208 respondents, chosen using purposive sampling.

Results: The perception of cultural competence among ICU nurses was significantly connected with age (p = 0.008), gender (p=0.038), and both career and competency level (p=0.031).

Conclusions: ICU nurses with a positive sense of cultural competency influence the enhancement of nursing care implementation and quality
