[3] Reasons why nurses apply to undertake a degree relate to perceived outcomes, such as the development of research skills and an increase in confidence.

Introduction: A BSc in Nursing Studies for qualified nurses has been delivered in Oman by Cardiff University since 2009. Research was undertaken to explore why Omani nurses applied and expectations from the programme. It also investigated managers' reasons for sending nurses on the degree and their expectation of nurses on completion.Design: A longitudinal qualitative research study followed nurses in 2 cohorts (N = 27 + 30) and a selection of their managers (N = 20). Data collection took place at various sites throughout Oman.Methods: Focus groups were undertaken with all nurses who embarked on the programme. Semi structured interviews took place with a random selection of ten nurses and their managers from each cohort (N = 20 nurses/20 nurse managers) 6 months after the course had completed. Thematic analysis was undertaken using a template developed from data.Results: Nurses' reasons for application included easy access to a degree in Oman; career aspiration and progression; knowledge and skill acquisition; self-growth; gain a qualification and prepare for postgraduate study. They expected to learn skills of English language, critical analysis and application of evidence to practice. Managers sent nurses to enhance personal and professional development; change practice; improve quality of patient care and develop nursing as a profession in Oman. Conclusion:The delivery of a degree by a UK institution taught in English at an institution abroad has advantages. It increases accessibility; maintains family and social network connections; offers familiarity with cultural norms; and facilitates entry into the academic world of English written literature. These factors facilitate nurses' developing skills and knowledge to underpin practice and the profession with evidence; highlighting the benefits of transnational programmes.

Summary Purpose In Malaysia, private healthcare sector has become a major player in delivering healthcare services alongside the government healthcare sector. However, wide disparities in health outcomes have been recorded, and adverse events in these contexts have yet to be explored. The purpose of this study was to explore associations between nurse's ethnicity and experience, hospital size, accreditation, and teaching status with adverse events in Malaysian private hospitals. Methods A cross‐sectional survey was conducted in 12 private hospitals in Malaysia. A total of 652 (response rate = 61.8%) nurses participated in the study. Data were collected using self‐administered questionnaire on nurses' characteristic, adverse events and events reporting, and perceived patient safety. Results Patient and family complaints events were the most common adverse events in Malaysian private hospitals as result of increased cost of care (3.24 ± 0.95) and verbal miscommunication (3.52 ± 0.87). Conclusion Hospital size, accreditation status, teaching status, and nurse ethnicity had a mixed effect on patient safety, perceived adverse events, and events reporting. Policy makers can benefit that errors are related to several human and system related factors. Several system reforms and multidisciplinary efforts were recommended for optimizing health, healthcare and preventing patient harm.
