Abstract
Purpose: Moral intelligence is an important parameter that forms the basis and cornerstone of ethics in nursing. It is necessary to determine whether moral intelligence is reflected in the care that forms the basis of nursing. This study was carried out with the aim of determining the reflections of nurses' moral intelligence levels on their care behaviors.
Findings: This study was descriptive and cross-sectional in nature. The study's sample size is 200 nurses. A personal Information Form, Moral Intelligence Scale, and Caring Behaviors Scale were used to collect data. It was determined that nurses' moral intelligence levels and caring behavior average scores were high. There was a highly significant positive connection (p = 0.001) between the mean scores of the moral intelligence total and subdimensions. And the mean scores of the caring behavior total and subdimensions.
Practical implications: It is very important to determine the moral intelligence levels, which are acquired and developed ability and directly affect nursing care, and to take initiatives to improve the quality of the care provided.
