Synthesizing core nursing skills to support behavioural‐based interviews for nurses in the UAE: A nominal group study

Abstract

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is facing significant challenges in meeting the human resource needs of the health care system, some of which threaten the quality and stability of UAE health care services and the continued development of the health care system. For example, only 3%-4% of nurses working in the UAE health care system are local Emirati nurses. Most nurses (around 96%) are recruited

Using group interviews to innovate the selection process for new graduate nurses

“…The premise of behavioral questions is that past actions indicate future behaviors, a presumption well supported by evidence. [6][7][8] In contrast, situational questions allow the candidate to provide the answer they think the interviewer wants to hear and are less reliable indicators of future performance. Nurse leaders and the Human Resources (HR) department chose five behavioral questions: two on compassionate service, two on respect, and one on inventiveness (see Table 1).…”

In contrast, situational questions allow the candidate to provide the answer they think the interviewer wants to hear and are less reliable indicators of future performance.…”

“…However, this seems to be a daunting task in an environment where qualified healthcare professionals are scarce. There is a well‐documented crisis in terms of the shortage of qualified healthcare professionals both globally and in the UAE, and health systems worldwide are striving to reduce the extent of this crisis 10,12–15 . A factor that is unique to the UAE healthcare system is the high mobility of nursing staff, who are mainly from abroad (97%–98% of the nursing task force) and have goals of returning to their home countries or traveling to other destinations such as Europe or the United States 16 …”

“…To add to the challenge, it is also important for healthcare organizations to create an environment to fulfill their other functions, such as attracting/retaining staff and performing their teaching role to prepare future healthcare professionals. The latter are two main challenges delaying the development of the healthcare system in the UAE 9–11 . However, clinical educators and managers reflect on how these roles seem to be frequently missed or at least compromised while applying the quality assurance measures in the country.…”

Level of Online Learning Motivation in Ners Professional Students in Online Learning at University Muhammadiyah Malang

“…Even though in the era of industrial revolution 4.0 is learning online able to provide attractive and effective services, but in its implementation it has its own challenges. As a nurse candidate, you are not only required to be an expert in treating patients in hospitals, communities and in various health facilities, but you are also required to be able to use a learning system online when providing health education to patients (Al-Yateem et al, 2021).…”
