Introduction: Respecting patient dignity enhances nurses' awareness of their needs and boosts cultural competence. This study aimed to explore the relationship between nurses' cultural competence and their respect for patient dignity from the nurses' perspective.
Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study included 200 nurses from various departments of teaching hospitals in Gonbad Kavous city, selected through a stratified method in 1404. Data collection utilized three questionnaires: demographic information, Mulder's cultural competence, and dignity and pride (PDI). Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 26, applying descriptive and inferential statistics with a significance level of P < 0.05.
Results: The average age of participating nurses was 33.13 ± 3.25. Dignity and pride scores were significantly higher at Motahari Hospital than at the other hospitals (p < 0.05). Additionally, nurses under 25 exhibited significantly greater cultural competence compared to older age groups (p = 0.013). However, nurses' cultural competence did not significantly predict respect for patient dignity.
Conclusion: The study's findings indicate no significant relationship between nurses' cultural competence and their respect for patient dignity. This may be attributed to nurses prioritizing other factors related to patient dignity.
