Abstract: Abstract Introduction: The relationship between cultural sensitivity and self-esteem among nurses in neonatal intensive care units is critical to job satisfaction and patient care quality. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from February to March 2024 on 223 nurses in neonatal intensive care units. Data were collected using Intercultural Sensitivity Scale and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Results: The study found that nurses had a moderate level of cultural sensitivity (M = 78.3, SD = 9.4) and self-esteem (M= 24.8, SD = 1.0). A weak positive correlation was observed between cultural sensitivity and self-esteem (r = .26, p < .01). In addition, cultural sensitivity was found as a predictor of self-esteem (p < .05). Discussion: Findings highlight the positive relationship between cultural sensitivity and self-esteem among NICU nurses, suggesting that enhancing cultural sensitivity could improve self-esteem and job satisfaction
