INTRODUCTION: Nurses adopt professional values during their education in order to improve nursing practices and develop their professional identity. Therefore, it is very important to examine the factors that affect the professional values of nursing students. There have been no previous studies evaluating the impact of personal traits and cultural sensitivities of nursing students on their professional values. The aim of the study analyzed the impact of personal traits and cultural sensitivities of undergraduate nursing students on their professional values.

The �Demographic Data Collection Form�, �Personality Test of Adjectives�, �Turkish Intercultural Sensitivity Scale�, and �Nurses� Professional Values Scale� were used to collect study data. The effect of their personal traits on their professional values, intercultural sensitivities were evaluated using linear regression analysis.
RESULTS: Examining the relationship between age, gender, school success of undergraduate students, whether they took the course of intercultural nursing and professionalism or not with their professional values, it was found that there was a positive low significant correlation between the age of students and their professional values, there was a positive low significant correlation between the gender of students and their professional values and there was a low significant correlation between school success of students and their professional values. It was found that there was a positive weak significant correlation between personality traits and professional values, and intercultural sensitivities and professional values of nursing undergraduate students.

G�R�� ve AMA�: Hem�irelerin profesyonel de�erleri hen�z e�itim d�nemindeyken geli�meye ba�lamaktad�r. Bu nedenle hem�irelik ��rencilerinin profesyonel de�erlerini etkileyen etmenlerin irdelenmesi �nemlidir. Literat�rde yap�lan �al��malar incelendi�inde, hem�irelikte lisans ��rencilerinin ki�ilik �zellikleri ve k�lt�rleraras� duyarl�l�klar�n�n profesyonel de�erleri �zerine etkisini birlikte irdeleyen �al��maya rastlanamam��t�r. Bu nedenle bu �al��mada hem�irelik lisans ��rencilerinin ki�ilik �zellikleri ve k�lt�rleraras� duyarl�l�klar�n�n profesyonel de�erleri �zerine etkisi incelenmi�tir.
Y�NTEM ve GERE�LER: De�i�kenler aras�ndaki ili�kiyi daha net g�sterebilmek i�in �rneklem se�me y�ntemine gidilmeden �al��maya kat�lmay� kabul eden ve �rnekleme dahil etme kriterlerine uyan t�m hem�irelikte lisans ��rencileri (n: 755) �al��maya al�nm��t�r. �al��mada veri toplama arac� olarak �Demografik Veri Toplama Formu�, S�fata Dayal� Ki�ilik Testi�, �K�lt�rleraras� Duyarl�l�k �l�e�i� ve �Hem�irelerin Profesyonel De�erleri �l�e�i� kullan�lm��t�r. ��rencilerin ki�ilik �zelliklerinin ve k�lt�rleraras� duyarl�l�klar�n�n profesyonel de�erleri �zerine etkisi basit regresyon analizi ile de�erlendirilmi�tir.
BULGULAR: Hem�irelikte lisans ��rencilerinin ya��, cinsiyeti, okul ba�ar�s�, k�lt�rleraras� hem�irelik dersi ve profesyonellik dersi al�p almad�� ile profesyonel de�erleri aras�ndaki ili�ki incelendi�inde; ��rencilerin ya�� ile profesyonel de�erleri aras�nda pozitif y�nde d��k d�zeyde anlaml� bir ili�ki, ��rencilerin cinsiyeti ile profesyonel de�erleri aras�nda pozitif y�nde d��k d�zeyde anlaml� bir ili�ki, ��rencilerin okul ba�ar�s� ile profesyonel de�erleri aras�nda pozitif y�nde d��k d�zeyde anlaml� bir ili�ki oldu�u saptanm��t�r. Hem�irelikte lisans ��rencilerinin ki�ilik �zellikleri ve profesyonel de�erleri aras�nda pozitif y�nde d��k d�zeyde anlaml� bir ili�ki oldu�u, k�lt�rleraras� duyarl�l�klar� ile profesyonel de�erleri aras�nda ise pozitif y�nde d��k d�zeyde anlaml� bir ili�ki oldu�u belirlenmi�tir.
