Cultural diversity and multiculturalism is the new fact of the global world, which also brings new challenges in health care. To meet the challenges of treating culturally diverse patients, we need culturally competent nursing care providers that will recognize patient’s needs, reduce inequalities, and offer safe and high-quality care. The study uses the quantitative research approach and the descriptive and causal-non-experimental work method. We obtained the data through an online survey, which included 150 nursing care providers. We have discovered that the nursing care providers are aware of the importance of culture and its role in the perception of health and care thereof, and that they recognize spirituality and religious beliefs as the most important cultural factor. We have found that 46% of the respondents perceive themselves as consciously incompetent, which means that they are aware of their insufficient knowledge about cultures.
