Colaizzi 7-step analysis method was used to analyze and extract interview data.Results:A total of 3 themes and 10 sub-themes were extracted, including perception of cultural care (lack of understanding of the concept of cultural care), the main contents of cultural care practice (respecting the religious beliefs and customs of diabetes patients, providing language consistency communication for diabetes patients, offering personalized health guidance for diabetes patients, changing diabetes patients' bad health concepts to maintain patients' health, and seeking support systems for diabetes patients), obstacles to practicing cultural care (self-factors, patient factors, environmental factors, organizational management factors) .Conclusions:The diabetes specialist nurses lack the understanding of the concept and content of cultural care, and their cultural care ability is insufficient, but they have implemented some cultural care for diabetes patients in their nursing practice.
