Background: Nursing students and nurses have been subjected to workplace violence has become another challenge at medical care facilities. The issue isn't restricted to specific parts of the world; its pervasiveness is expanding around the world. Objectives: to look at impact and consequences of violence among nurses and nursing students to make a preventive strategy and assess the phenomenon. Material and Methods: In Taif's mental health hospital, a cross-sectional hospital-based survey was conducted. At the end of data collection period, 203 of 415 nurses consented to complete a survey that included questions about violence, result of violence, reaction and action of violence. This group was compared with 21 5th years nursing students from Al-Taif university (94.4 rate of participation). Results: The %age of nurses and nursing students who reported at least one unsettling scene of physical violence in clinical settings during their lifetime was 56 % for nurses and 38 % for nursing students. More physical attacks, according to nurses 56%, threats 26% and abuse 8% during the past a year than students. Both nurses and students were generally attacked or annoyed by patients or their family members and companions (“external” violence). The majority of nurses were assaulted or harassed by Verbal threat/aggression and Scratching/pinching Students, on the other hand, frequently reported physical violence by Slapping/hitting. Nurses were mostly Handled the situation themselves whereas students often Call for help and/or activated alarm. Over more regarding result of aggression nurses were mostly feel fear and irritation whereas students feel anxious and helplessness. Conclusions: Preventive activity is critically required to control client-to laborer and staff-to-staff savagery in hospitals and clinics. Clinical Relevance: Not as it were medical attendants, but moreover nursing understudies, Multilevel projects of viciousness anticipation would be beneficial.
Objective: To identify the level of perceived organisational transparency among healthcare providers working for the Ministry of Health. Methodology: Four hundred and twenty participants in three ministry of health facilities were surveyed using a descriptive cross-sectional correlational design and validated survey data. Results: The total average of all responses on all items of the organisational transparency was 3.37± 0.66. Organisational transparency was perceived by nurses more than physicians and allied healthcare providers. The old participants perceive their organisation as transparent more than younger participants. The participants in all the four education categories: Diploma, Bachelor, Master, and Doctorate, were homogeneous about their responses on the organisational transparency. There were substantial gender variations in the means of the participants' replies. Females perceived their organisation to be transparent more than males as the mean of their responses were (3.46) and (3.12), respectively. Conclusion: The study emphasizes the importance of organisational transparency and strategic understanding in enhancing and promoting the organisational readiness to change. Leaders should make efforts to communicate the change plan and strategies to all employees focusing more on employees understanding of those strategies.
Introduction: Public behaviour involving the wearing of face masks are influenced by a host of interdependent demographic, economic, and educational factors, therefore, mask-wearing behaviours among the public vary not only in different countries but also from region to region within a country. Aim: To assess mask-wearing behaviours among the public in Saudi Arabia during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among the general public of Saudi Arabia who could communicate in Arabic, from 9th August 2021 to 12th October 2021, after approval from Taif University. To collect as many respondents as possible, convenience sampling was used. A social media platform was used for the data collection. Descriptive statistics and a logistical regression model were employed for data analysis. Results: A total of 481 participants consented to take part in the current research, with 56.8% being male and 43.2% being female. Most individuals showed poor compliance (67.6%). Female participants, participants who had graduate degree, and people who worked in a confined environment, including a hospital, restaurant or similar place, reported better compliance with the use of a face mask (χ2 =13.29; p-value< 0.001), (χ2 = 8.26; p-value= 0.041), and (χ2 =16.84; p-value <0.010), respectively. Regression analysis defined three characteristics linked with good compliance ie., sex, level of education and present work/ living situation. Conclusion: Most people did not comply with public behaviour concerning the use of face masks. Female participants were more likely to wear a face mask.
Objectives: A good patient safety culture (PSC) is linked to a reduced risk of patient problems and minimal undesirable occurrences. This study investigated the PSC levels from nurses’ perspectives during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was applied. The Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC) questionnaire was administered to 315 nurses working at 2 major hospitals in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, a t-test, and a one-way ANOVA test. The statistical significance of the correlation was determined at the 0.05 level. Results: PSC was rated as medium overall according to the nurses, with a weighted mean of 2.88–0.76 and a relative weight of 57.57%. In addition, all PSC composites were rated from medium to high, except organizational learning, which was rated low. The correlation between sociodemographic variables as well as PSC levels was investigated using the t-test and one-way ANOVA test. The association is statistically significant when P ≤ 0.05. The findings revealed a statistically significant correlation between nurse nationality (t = −4.399, P = 0.000), age (F = 7.917, P = 0.000), experience in years (F = 3.760, P = 0.024), and hospital (t = −0.401, P = 0.689). Conclusions: The nurses in this study had a medium overall PSC level, and all PSC composites ranged from a medium to a high level, except organizational learning, which had a low level. In addition, the findings showed that there is a significant relationship between PSC levels, nurses’ nationalities, experience in years, and the hospital itself.
BACKGROUND Job satisfaction has a significant impact on the work behaviour of faculty members and their attitudes to their work. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no recent studies on job satisfaction among the faculty members of nursing colleges in Saudi Arabia. The purpose of the current study was to explore the factors influencing job satisfaction among nursing department faculty members of nursing colleges in Saudi universities. METHODS This online survey was approved by Taif University under code (42 - 0085). A 35 - item (6 dimensions) five option Likert - type draft questionnaire on job satisfaction was distributed for online anonymous self-reporting by the faculty members of nursing colleges in Saudi universities (N = 116). RESULTS The general level of overall job satisfaction (OJS) of the faculty members of nursing colleges in Saudi universities on all dimensions of job satisfaction is observed to be low (OJS mean 1,28), while work itself and interpersonal relationships were high. The dimensions of job satisfaction were analysed by path coefficient and the significance test. First, for faculty member’s job satisfaction as a higher order factor consists of 6 first order factors: the influence of salary and welfare on job satisfaction is the greatest, with a path coefficient reaching .580. Next comes job competence, leader behaviour, interpersonal relationships, and the work itself. CONCLUSIONS A seven-factor job satisfaction model is advanced, including one high order factor (job satisfaction) and six first-order factors (salary and welfare, the work itself, leader behaviour, personal growth, interpersonal relationships and job competence) demonstrated good overall psychometric properties in terms of construct validity and internal consistency reliability in both the overall sample and its separately analysed subgroups. KEY WORDS Faculty Members, Job Satisfaction, Nursing Colleges, Quality of Higher Education, Saudi Arabia
