Amaç: Bu çalışma, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin kültürel zekâ düzeylerini değerlendirmek için yürütülmüştür. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı nitelikteki bu araştırma, hemşirelik bölümünde okuyan 462 öğrenciyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler, bilgi formu ve Kültürel Zekâ Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmış; verilerin tanımlayıcı istatistikleri frekans, yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma ve medyan, minimum, maksimum olarak verilmiştir. İstatistiksel karşılaştırmalar için ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U ve t-testi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin, Kültürel Zekâ Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması 3,46±0,63; üst biliş puan ortalaması 3,86±0,92; biliş puan ortalaması 2,91±0,84; motivasyon puan ortalaması 3,63±0,83; davranış puan ortalaması ise 3,65±0,80'dir. Erkek öğrencilerin bilişsel kültürel zekâları; birinci sınıf, sağlık meslek lisesi mezunu, demokratik aileye sahip öğrencilerin üst bilişsel kültürel zekâları; Karadeniz Bölgesi dışında diğer bölgelerden gelen ve çalışan öğrencilerin motivasyonel kültürel zekâları ile hemşirelik okumaktan memnun olan öğrencilerin davranışsal kültürel zekâları yüksektir. Annesinin eğitim düzeyi üniversite olan öğrencilerin toplam, ortaokul/lise olan öğrencilerin bilişsel kültürel zekâları yüksektir. Ayrıca kültürel zekâ ile ilgili eğitim/ders alan öğrencilerin oplam ve bilişsel kültürel zekâları; kendini kültürel olarak duyarlı bulan öğrencilerin tüm alt boyutlarda kültürel zekâları yüksektir (p<0,05).
