Abstract
Objective
The aim of this study was to investigate relation between ethnocentrism, professional attitudes and moral sensitivity of midwives and nurses working in Turkey using linear regression model.
Method
A descriptive and cross-sectional and correlational study was adopted. Data were collected online between 20/10/2023-25/12/2023. The study was completed with total of 400 nurses and midwives. Data were collected through a personal information form, the Generalised Ethnocentrism Scale (GENE), the Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire (MSQ) and Inventory of Professional Attitude at Occupation (IPAO).
Results
Nurses’ and midwives’ ethnocentric attitudes were high and their professional and moral sensitivity was moderate. A negative and statistically significant relationship was found between GENE and MSQ (r = −0.150 and P < .05). Moreover, it is concluded that ethnocentrism and professional attitudes have a negative effect on the moral sensitivity of nurses and midwives.
Conclusions
Based on these results, interventions aimed at improving the ethnocentric and professional attitudes of nurses and midwives will also contribute to improve their moral sensitivity.

Enfermería Clínica is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that is a useful and necessary tool for nursing professionals from the different areas of nursing (healthcare, administration, education and research) as well as for healthcare professionals involved in caring for persons, families and the community. It is the only Spanish nursing journal that mainly publishes original research. The aim of the Journal is to promote increased knowledge through the publication of original research and other studies that may help nursing professionals improve their daily practice. This objective is pursued throughout the different sections that comprise the Journal: Original Articles and Short Original Articles, Special Articles, Patient Care and Letters to the Editor. There is also an Evidence-Based Nursing section that includes comments about original articles of special interest written by experts.
