This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a cultural competence training program based on Gülbu Tanrıverdi's Environment-Oriented Cultural Competence Model in improving nurses' cultural competence levels and in enhancing patients' perceptions of culturally competent care. The study adopts a mixed-method design including a randomized controlled pre-test/post-test intervention for nurses and semi-structured interviews with patients from diverse cultural backgrounds.
