“…Outcomes: The outcomes of this review included the family research methods, sample, research instruments used and common themes across these studies. The search focussed on research during cancer treatment [within first year] but excluded end of life as much research is on managing supportive care for the person with cancer rather than the family as unit of care (Oakley et al, 2019). (Bell, 2014).…”

“…In a study, nurses acknowledged the importance of language when caring for patients, and it was significantly associated with rendering proper care. Although nursing education in Saudi Arabia has gone through significant developments, it is still a profession with societal and cultural stigmas (11) .…”

Objective: The research was to undertake a descriptive survey of International nurses working in a different hospital in Saudi Arabia to explore cultural competency. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional survey design was utilized. The convenient sample included 736 expatriate nurses working in several healthcare settings in Saudi Arabia, on one occasion using a prevalidated self-assessment questionnaire. Findings: Current study reported that most nurses were Indians and Philippino Nurses with 51.5% and 42.1%, respectively. Expatriate nurses have shown a higher-level competence in a. Awareness and sensitivity b. Behavior c. Patient-centered communication. A significant statistical association was found between cultural competence and the selected demographic characteristics. Novelty: Care provider and care receiver's culture impacts the healthcare delivery system's contemporary philosophy. The institutional guidelines and the appropriate professional support would be the core context of generating culturally competent care to enhance quality care management.

“…Zhang et al's (2018) reported similar findings with nurses working in Singapore needing to learn more about the patients' cultures and beliefs to support their spiritual needs at end-of-life. An integrative review highlighted that international nurses working in Middle Eastern Muslim countries may not fully understand the nuances of local customs and beliefs surrounding death and dying, potentially impacting the delivery of culturally appropriate end-of-life care (Oakley et al, 2019).…”

AimsTo examine registered nurses' (RNs) behavioural, normative and control beliefs about end‐of‐life care for patients who are diagnosed with advanced and life‐limiting illnesses; and to identify the barriers and facilitators they experience when providing end‐of‐life care.DesignA sequential explanatory mixed methods study.MethodAn online cross‐sectional survey was conducted using the Care for Terminally Ill Patient tool among 1293 RNs working across five hospitals in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Online individual semi‐structured interviews with a subgroup of survey respondents were then undertaken. Data were collected between October 2020 to February 2021.ResultsA total of 415 RNs completed the online survey, with 16 of them participating in individual interviews. Over half of the participants expressed the belief that end‐of‐life care is most efficiently delivered through multidisciplinary team collaboration. The majority of participants also believed that discussing end‐of‐life care with patients or families leads to feelings of hopelessness. Paradoxically, the study revealed that more than half of the participants held the negative belief that patients at the end of life should optimally receive a combination of both curative and palliative care services. The results showed that nurses' beliefs were significantly associated with their age, religion, ward type, level of education and frequency of providing end‐of‐life care. Data from the qualitative interviews identified four themes that explored RNs' beliefs and its related factors. The four themes were ‘holistic care’, ‘diversity of beliefs’, ‘dynamics of truth‐telling’ and ‘experiences of providing end‐of‐life care.’Implications for the Profession and/or Patient CareWherever possible, patients at the end‐of‐life should be cared for in specialist settings by multidisciplinary teams to ensure effective, high‐quality care. Where this is not possible, organisations should ensure that teams of multidisciplinary staff, including nurses, receive education and resources to support end‐of‐life care in non‐specialist settings. Hospitals that employ foreign‐trained nurses should consider providing targeted education to enhance their cultural competence and reduce the impact of different beliefs on end‐of‐life care.
