Nurses demonstrated relatively higher scores in the cultural knowledge and skills dimensions, whereas cultural sensitivity scores were comparatively lower. An increase in intercultural sensitivity scores was found to be associated with a parallel increase in cultural competence scores (\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                      : 0.235;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.001). Cultural competence accounted for a modest but statistically significant 6.5% increase in the explained variance in intercultural sensitivity and was independently associated with higher intercultural sensitivity scores (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.265,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Six themes were identified based on the cultural needs and perceptions of care among patients' relatives: (1) culturally appropriate communication; (2) culturally patterned information needs; (3) participating in care with awareness; (4) culturally shaped boundaries of patient privacy; (5) culturally patterned expectations of attentive care; and (6) psychological support across cultural lenses.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Integrated findings indicated that although nurses demonstrated relatively high levels of cultural competence and intercultural sensitivity, patient relatives emphasised respectful communication, attentive care and sensitivity to cultural values as key components of culturally sensitive care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Relevance to Clinical Practice<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Findings revealed unmet expectations regarding understandable information, participation in decision\u2010making and care processes, privacy and attention to spiritual needs, suggesting a need for more individualised and participatory approaches in intensive care settings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/nicc.70653","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,3]],"date-time":"2026-09-03T07:19:36Z","timestamp":1788419976000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Investigation of Cultural Practices and Culturally Sensitive Care in Intensive Care Units: A Mixed\u2010Methods Study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-4866-973X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ay\u015fenur","family":"\u00d6zer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ad\u0131yaman Education and Research Hospital  Ad\u0131yaman T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3819-1717","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zeliha","family":"Cengiz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Fundamentals of Nursing Inonu University, Nursing Faculty  Malatya T\u00fcrkiye"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_14_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365\u20102702.2011.03989.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365\u20102702.2004.01081.x"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_14_4_1","first-page":"37","article-title":"Reflections of the Concept of Transcultural Nursing on Intensive Care","volume":"17","author":"Topba\u015f E.","year":"2013","journal-title":"Journal of Intensive Care Nursing"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.17681\/HSP.401525"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_14_6_1","first-page":"37","article-title":"Nurses' Approaches to Standards of Practice for Culturally Competent Care","volume":"31","author":"Tanr\u0131verdi G.","year":"2015","journal-title":"Journal of Ege University Faculty of Nursing"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_14_7_1","first-page":"168","article-title":"Experiences of Intensive Care Nurses in Cultural Diversity: A Qualitative Study","volume":"1","author":"Kebap\u00e7\u0131 A.","year":"2021","journal-title":"Fenerbah\u00e7e University Journal of Health Sciences"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.69487\/hemarge.1295704"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.14687\/ijhs.v6i1.630"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.54061\/jphn.1242986"},{"key":"e_1_2_14_11_1","first-page":"691","volume-title":"AI\u2010Driven Healthcare: Automation and Robotics.
