There are limited numbers of nursing students' information technology usage and no studies of Saudi nursing students' computer and Internet utilization in their education were ring the literature review. The aim of this study is to investigate located du how student nurses use Computer and Internet for their studies in the College of Nursing, Jeddah.

Materials and Methods: A relative frequency survey was conducted. The self-administered instrument's validity was tested by using expert evaluations and by conducting a pilot study. A convenient sample of 100 female nursing students was used and response rate was 89%. Results: The average age of the respondents was 22.3 years. Most of the students, 95.5% had their own computer and 68% had Internet connection at home. Only 41, 6% used Blackboard and 77.5% used e-mail in communication with their instructor. 80.9% of respondents searched nursing journals from the internet and only 12 students (n=89) used database(s) for information search. 82% of students found relevant nursing information for their studies from the Internet. Conclusion: This study shows that nursing students are not using systematic ways to retrieve evidence based information from the databases. National Guard Health Affairs Universities have a good and relevant collection of databases for nursing students. Nursing students also need further training in using Blackboard, Word processor, Excel, and reference managers.
Introduction: To date, there have been no studies located investigating Saudi women's self-determination in their own healthrelated issues. This study aims to investigate how women in Saudi Arabia see their ability and willingness to decision making in this matter. Methodology: The study design is ethnonursing and Leininger's Sunrise model was utilized as background theory; qualitative data analysis method was used. 12 Saudi women worked at a large University in Saudi Arabia were interviewed in-depth. Results and discussion: Seven universal Saudi Arabian cultural themes were identified: customs and traditions, women's decision-making denied, shared decision-making, informed women and empowerment rise, financial status matters, emerging changes in the society, and impact from the Western world. Conclusions: One of the major findings in the interviews was that all research participants observed themselves as more independent and empowered than in the accounts reflecting other women they knew. They saw other women, whom they met at the hospital or who were their friends or relatives, were without equal rights for independent decision making. Mainly, men are interested in reproductive health and are willing to dominate women's independent decision making in healthcare. The main conclusion, according to this study, the Saudi women research participants who are educated, are more independent in their health-related decision making than the previous literature suggested. The result may be different in villages and among less educated women and their husbands.
