Objective: The goal of this study is to evaluate the intercultural sensitivity and related factors of nursing students attending a state university located in the east of Turkey. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted between April-May 2017 among students of the nursing department of Ataturk Health Academy of Dicle University. The study sample consisted of 236 students. Research data were collected using the data form and Intercultural Sensitivity Scale. Research data were assessed with Pearson correlation test, Student t-test or Mann-Whitney U test and One Way Anova or Kruskal-Wallis test. Results: The mean total score of the nursing students participating in the research concerning their intercultural sensitivity level was determined as 91.20±13.78 points. It has been determined that being a nursing 1st-grade student, having higher economic status, occasionally communicating with people from different countries via social media, being willing to work/live in a country with different cultures, and to participate in Erasmus student exchange programs have increased the level of intercultural sensitivity (p<0.05). In addition, it has been determined that the level of intercultural sensitivity increases as the level of job satisfaction increases (p<0.05). Conclusion: The intercultural sensitivity levels of nursing students were found to be agreeable.
