Introduction: Saudi Arabia's culturally diverse population is growing rapidly. The need for cultural competence is greatest in pediatric units where nurses provide care to children in collaboration with their parents.
Method: Nonprobability sampling of 394 nurses and cross-sectional descriptive design was used to investigate nurses' cultural competence, and to examine the relationships between the variables and participants' demographic data in pediatric units across five hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, by asking nurses to complete a self-report questionnaire.
