demographic information and Lennick and Kiel’s Moral Intelligence Standard Questionnaires
online through social networks. Mean, standard deviation, and one-sample t-test, multivariate
analysis of variance was used to analyze the data using SPSS software v. 25.
Results: The results showed that the moral intelligence of nursing and midwifery students was
at a high level. There was no significant difference between the components (honesty, P=0.762),
(responsibility, P=0.952), (compassion, P=0.318), (forgiveness, P=0.469) of moral intelligence
of male and female students (P<0.05), but there was a significant difference between students’
moral intelligence in terms of marriage and age (P<0.01).
