This study aims to investigate the affective competency of Filipino nurses working in five hospitals of Taif City, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Transcultural Self-Efficacy Tool (TSET) Kit was used. The strength of self-efficacy perceptions of the nurses within the affective constructs shows that the five highest scores shows their own cultural heritage and belief systems, difference within their own cultural group, their own biases and limitations, role of family in providing health care and differences between cultural groups. The results indicate that the respondents are confident in giving care and are fully aware of the cultural background and culture specific health care that can affect nursing care. Respondents are confident in giving care to patient from a diverse culture. However, formal education seminars on transcultural nursing care in addition to training on Arabic Language will help them to communicate more effectively.
