This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 309 nurses working in Turkey. Data were collected using the Descriptive Information Form, Holistic Nursing Competence Scale (HNCS), Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES), and Self-Reflection and Insight Scale (SRIS). Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the data. We found that the HNCS had a moderate positive relationship (r=0.411, p<0.05) with the UWES, and a weak positive relationship (r = 0.324, p <0.05) with the SRIS. In the model established by multiple regression analysis, the effect of the HNCS, age, marital status, position, and performing the profession willingly on work engagement explained 33.7% of the variance. In another established model, the effect of the HNCS, gender, and having children on self-reflection and insight explained 11.5% of the variance. Our findings revealed the effect of holistic competence on nurses' positive attitudes about their work engagement and self-reflection in practice. We recommended developing awareness-based programs for nurses to increase their holistic nursing competence.en10.1177/08980101221129716info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHolism; Nursing Competence; Work Engagement; Insight; Self-ReflectionStudents; Care; ImpactArticle362033752-s2.0-85139528871WOS:000864896700001Q2N/A
