The article presents the results of a study on the relationship between cultural competence of migrating nurses and their level of burnout. A hundred Polish nurses were subjects of the study. The burnout level was measured using Maslach Burnout Inventory, whereas the level of cultural competence was assessed looking at the length of work experience in the country of migration and the type of life partner (native partner versus Polish partner). An assumption was put forward that native partner and long work experience determine higher level of cultural competence. As a result of analyses carried out it was noticed that the interaction between partner type and length of work experience accounts for 19-24% of variance of burnout.
