Abstract:
Workplace stress, as experienced by nurses working in intensive care units, can affect health, quality and delivery of nursing care and healthcare costs. However, no studies have purely focused on Paediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU) and specifically considered workplace stress within a Saudi Arabian context. This study addressed this omission. This study explored workplace stress amongst nurses working in PICUs in Saudi Arabia. A mixed-method research was conducted in two phases. In Phase One, (n = 172) nurses from six PICUs completed a questionnaire; in Phase Two, face-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted with 24 of the original 172 participants. The quantitative data revealed that workplace stress was associated with workload (2.29 ± 0.81), followed by death and dying (2.07 ± 0.77) alongside patients and their families (2.02 ± 0.79). Most nurses suffered from medium levels of workplace stress; this was associated with tangible personal characteristics, including nationality and academic nursing qualifications. Six key themes emerged from the qualitative results: Sources of workplace stress, consequences of workplace stress, individual characteristics that help to manage workplace stress, work characteristics that help to manage workplace stress, motivation to work in PICUs in Saudi Arabia and suggestions for workplace stress management. The Dynamic Model of Workplace Stress was developed, highlighting the interactions between the sources and consequences of workplace stress. Despite reporting a medium level of workplace stress, the nurses perceived their workplace to be a highly rewarding environment.

Abstract:
The burden of drug-related problems (DRPs) is becoming an issue of healthcare concern. It has been responsible for many intensive care unit (ICU) admissions and emergency department (ED) visits in Saudi Arabia. We aim to summarise available data on ED visits and ICU admissions linked to DRPs in Saudi Arabia and provide recommendations for preventive measures. A systematic search of the literature was conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar databases to identify eligible studies. The review included research on ED visits and ICU admissions linked to DRPs performed in Saudi Arabia from the database’s inception to January 2020. Study selection, data extraction and assessment were performed based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and MetaAnalysis (PRISMA) guidelines. The initial search of literature generated 267 articles. After the study selection, 15 articles met our eligibility criteria and were included in the review. The commonly implicated DRPs were adverse drug reactions, medication non-adherence, drug overdose and drug interactions. Central nervous system drugs and cardiovascular drugs were the most frequently involved drugs. Most of these visits resulted in moderate harm. The prevalence of DRPs associated with ED visits and ICU admissions is high in Saudi Arabia. Sixteen out of a hundred ED visits and ICU admissions are related to DRPs. Therefore, the Saudi government should implement interventions to improve the awareness of rational drug use in the general public.

Abstract:
There is a growing need to integrate palliative care into intensive care units and to develop appropriate knowledge translation strategies. However, multiple challenges persist in attempts to achieve this objective. In this study, we aimed to explore intensive care professionals’ perspectives on providing palliative and end-of-life care within an intensive care context. We used an interpretive description approach and interviewed 36 intensive care professionals at four hospitals in Saudi Arabia. Our findings reflect a discourse about end-of-life care driven by a do-not-resuscitate classification and challenges associated with family involvement in care goals. We provide key insights of importance for the development of strategies for the integration and knowledge translation of palliative care into intensive care contexts. [Formula: see text]

Abstract:
The health system is based on major pillars that it cannot continue without, the most important of which are doctors and qualified nursing staff. The departure of nursing staff is one of the dilemmas that threaten the health system. Another place, especially leaving work in intensive care. The current scoping review aims to identify relevant evidence related to the factors influencing nurses' intentions to leave critical care units at governmental hospitals at Saudi Arabia. In this study, the researcher explored that some factors were not covered, so the most of the knowledge gap regarding the factors that contribute to nurses’ intentions to leave their current occupations in critical care units at governmental hospitals in Saudi Arabia, are motivation and communication among staff members. As well as, conflict among staff members, Nurse Manager Ability, leadership and support of nurses, and nurse-physician relationships are some of the important factors that contribute to nurses’ intentions to leave their current occupations that needs to be studied.

Abstract:
Quality care in intensive care units is expected by patients and is mandatory for nurses and other health professionals to provide. In Saudi Arabia, the demand for intensive care units (ICUs) is growing rapidly, partly due to the high levels of road trauma and a population increase. In response to these issues, the government has increased the number of ICU beds in some public tertiary regional hospitals. A corresponding increase in patients and a shortage of specialized nurses has major implications for nurses’ ability to provide quality care. In the Western world there is comprehensive literature related to research and factors that influence nursing care. To date, however, no such study has been conducted in an ICU in Saudi Arabia. The purpose of this study was, therefore, to explore and describe factors that influence nursing care in a Saudi Arabian ICU. Additionally, since clinical governance has been described as a structured system for promoting quality care and health service planning, a further aim was to describe the findings within this framework.This study employed a single exploratory descriptive case study using a qualitative approach. Data were collected from various sources with thematic analysis being used to establish themes that emerged from the data. The proposition taken in this case study was that multiple factors influence the quality care registered nurses provide in an ICU setting. It was an assumption that these factors would be both internal and external to the ICU. Findings from this study concurred with this assumption uncovering multiple, complex and interrelated factors that influenced the quality of nursing care in the ICU. It also uncovered factors which were located in the conduit between the internal and external environment: namely intermediate factors. The environment was seen as: direct factors that immediately affected nurses and their ability to provide quality care; intermediate factors were those that encapsulated regular, but intermittent elements; and indirect factors related to elements external to the ICU. Within each of these categories themes and sub-themes emerged. Themes in the direct factors were Continuance: with sub themes of Shift work arrangement, Workload, Collegiality, and Unit management. Burden of responsibility: with sub themes of Educational preparation and Availability of Resources. Proximity: emerged as a theme which related to being close contact with patients.Themes in the intermediate factors were: Relationships with superiors, as well as Policies and protocols. Themes in the indirect factors were: Leadership and bureaucracy, Quality management, and Ongoing education. Together these factors had a profound influence on the quality of nursing care in the ICU. Some had distinctive characteristics whilst others overlapped and were interrelated clarifying and explaining aspects of the complex open system in which nursing care was provided. It is anticipated that these findings will not only have relevance to the ICU in the setting, but also to other hospitals in the Saudi Arabian health care system.

Abstract:
This thesis explored the dimensions of decision-making of nurses managing continuous renal replacement therapy in the intensive care unit. Variations in the levels of decision-making were largely the result of contextual factors including workforce characteristics, management practices, socialisation and organisational constraints. The concepts also constitute an explanation of the ways in which the interplay of social, organisational and technological boundaries constructed the process of nursing clinical decision-making and performance with advanced technology. These finding suggest that there is an urgent need for organisational and social change in the nursing profession in Saudi Arabia.

Abstract:
Nursing Muslim patients in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) poses challenges for expatriate non-Muslim nurses. Caring for Muslim patients in a cardiac intensive care unit, catering for patients who underwent open heart surgery, poses unique challenges to non-Muslim nurses. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 63 non-Muslim nurses who cared for Muslim patients who had undergone cardiac surgery. Factors that influenced non Muslim nurses’ experiences of working with Muslim patients in the KSA, included culture shock, language barriers and a lack of understanding of Islam as a religion. In-service education sessions, addressing these issues, could enhance non-Muslim nurses' abilities to render culture competent care to Muslim patients in a cardiac intensive care unit in the KSA. Arabic-English translators could facilitate communication between the expatriate nurses and the Muslim patients.

Abstract:
Introduction: Health care professionals, including registered nurses are prone to stress, with new graduates experiencing high levels of stress in their graduate year. In Saudi Arabia many new graduates are expected to be placed in critical care units due to a range of contextual issues. These units are stressful; effective ways to assist these new graduates are required. Simulation learning is envisaged to be a novel strategy to overcome this issue. Reducing stress levels in new graduates assists them to transition to professional practice and has the potential to improve workforce demands by increasing retention. Thus, this research explored both stressors among new graduate registered nurses (RNs) in intensive care units (ICUs) and the potential use of a complex intervention using simulation to reduce these stress factors. For the purpose of achieving the aim of this study, the research was based in one hospital in Saudi Arabia, the King Saud Medical City- Riyadh (KSMC-R). It is also noteworthy that the complex intervention was designed and will be implemented and evaluated in future research. Objective: This study aimed to design a simulation based learning exercise (SBLE) based on the specific stressors experienced by new graduate RNs working in the paediatric and adult ICUs at KSMC-R. Methods: This research was based on an interventional mixed method design. The research involved the integration of three studies which incorporated both quantitative and qualitative approaches, whereby a sequential exploratory design was employed. Study 1: Survey of new graduate RNs in which 189 Saudi new graduate RNs were surveyed about their experiences of stress in their ICUs units using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) to measure the level of stress and the Expanded Nursing Stress Scale (ENSS) that measured the factors/frequency of stressors experienced by new graduate RNs in the ICUs. Study 2: Individual interviews of 10 new graduate RNs further explored their experiences of stressors in ICUs. Study 3: a single group discussion with 5 nurse educators investigated the extent and type of educational support provided for new graduates and educators’ views of and experience with simulation. Results: The results from the three studies were integrated using complementarity and triangulation techniques. From the results a complex intervention based on SBLE was designed to potentially assist new graduates to better manage and overcome these stressors. Conclusion: This research has contributed new knowledge regarding the level and nature of stressors that are experienced by Saudi new graduate RNs working in critical environments such as the ICUs. In addition the study offers a potential intervention to assist new graduates to deal with these stressors. The approach of using multiple data sources to inform the design of an SBLE has the potential to be used in other contexts.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to describe the competencies needed by nursing intern students as identified by their preceptors and nurse educators, who choose to work as registered nurses in intensive care units in Saudi Arabia. The research questions this study investigated were 1) what do nurse preceptors and nurse educators believe are the competencies for new graduates to allow them to work safely in an intensive care unit in Saudi Arabia, 2) what are the competencies they should possess at the end of their internships. 3) Is there a difference between nurse educators and preceptors in the perception of required or expected competencies of the nursing role in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)? Through the Interpretive Description methodology, data were collected through interviews, the guide for which was developed based on the Canadian Association of Critical Care Nurses standards for critical care nursing practice. The data were analyzed to identify common themes. Themes for intensive care unit competencies included: 1) needed skill competencies; 2) development of knowledge application competencies; and 3) strategies for quality improvement. A notable aspect of this study was the finding that Saudi Arabia, there was agreement among participants that nursing intern students were not prepared to work in ICU immediately after their internship year. Building on participants’ responses, nursing intern students may acquire satisfactory preparation during their internship through continuous evaluation, consistent guidance, extended time period, and orientation. Consequently, it represents a significant contribution to enriching the nursing intern students’ internship outcomes as well as the literature in the context of Saudi Arabia and in advancing the nursing workforce in Intensive Care Units in Saudi Arabia.

Abstract:
The aim of the study was to describe the perceptions of critical care nurses concerning family witnessed resuscitation, presenting arguments for or against the practice thereof. A quantitative, descriptive and exploratory approach was used. For the study, a non- probability convenience sample of 100 critical care nurses from five critical care units were used. A combined open-ended and closed-ended questionnaire was used. The majority of critical care nurses in the study disapproved of the idea of family witnessed resuscitation. They believed it to be traumatic for relatives, threatening to the resuscitation process and increasing litigation. Although the dominant feeling was one of disapproval, some critical care nurses felt that family witnessed resuscitation was beneficial to relatives. Recommendations for future practice included incorporation of educational programmes for critical care nurses concerning family witnessed resuscitation and providing training to deal with the stresses of family witnessed resuscitation.

Abstract:
Background: This thesis explores the phenomena of job stress and job satisfaction among Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nurses in a multicultural nursing workforce at two main hospitals in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Aim: To explore sources of perceived job stress and satisfaction among expatriate ICU nurses in a multicultural nursing workforce in two hospitals in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Methods: The research applied a mixed-methods design. Stage 1 (quantitative) distributed a survey to all expatriate ICU nurses employed by the hospitals; 421 (60%) responded. Participants completed the Critical Care Nursing Stress Scale (CCNSS), the McCloskey/Mueller Satisfaction Scale (MMSS), and demographic questionnaires. Stage 2 (qualitative) consisted of semi-structured interviews with 19 intensive care nurses recruited from stage 1 respondents. Findings: Overall, the CCNSS identified a moderate level of work-related stress. Closer analysis however identified workload factors, lack of appreciation/respect /support from managers, and negative interprofessional factors, especially with physicians, as being strong sources of stress. Nurses with a Bachelor's degree had highest stress scores suggesting an educational influence. Overall, the MMSS identified a moderate level of job satisfaction but closer analysis identified specific strong sources of dissatisfaction related to ‘Extrinsic rewards’ in particular ‘Salary’, ‘Vacation’ and ‘Maternity leave’. Married nurses scored lower on job satisfaction suggesting a need for further work on personal/social factors. Qualitative findings corroborated quantitative outcomes but also extended insights by identifying adverse nurse/patient ratios, expectations around meal times, and cleaning beds, floors and equipment, as important sources of stress and dissatisfaction. Additional sources were cultural; expatriate nurses reported discrimination of salaries and benefit packages based on nationality and gender. Female nurses felt discriminated against by KSA society inside and outside the hospitals. Conclusions: The study makes a valuable contribution to understanding job stress and dissatisfaction among migrant ICU nurses in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This mixed methods design identified strong sources related to work demands, lack of appreciation, recognition of their skills, and respect from managers and physicians, and salary/benefit differentials according to nationality and gender. Regarding the latter, it is of note that since completing this study the regime has introduced unprecedented societal changes, particularly freedom and fairness, which make it important for future work to re-examine present findings in that context.

The study was conducted with the aim of assessing the Saudi Arabian cultural knowledge among the non-Muslim nurses. These nurses work in the obstetric units at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre, Jeddah and come from different cultural groups and are caring for the Saudi Arabian Muslim women. In order for care to be congruent, comprehensive and of a high quality, the patients' needs should be met at the best attainable level. Nurses in all health care settings are expected to demonstrate knowledge of the culture that they serve in order to eliminate barriers. Data analysis was facilitated with the use of the SPSS 11.5 computer program. The study findings may suggest the development of educational guidelines, which will direct the activities of an educational intervention.

Abstract:
Improper antimicrobial use and bacterial resistance can affect an entire community, threaten public health and create economic burdens and ecological consequences on societies. This chapter discusses the importance of counteracting this public health issue. In Saudi Arabia, the appropriate use of antimicrobial agents is of particular concern. The prescribing of broad-spectrum antimicrobials in hospital settings is not highly restricted, and antimicrobials are available over the counters in pharmacies. This unwise use provides a scenario for the emergence of bacterial resistance and subsequent public health concerns. In addition, there is a lack of representative epidemiological research on antimicrobial consumption and quantitative data linking consumption to the incidence of resistance. This chapter illustrates that the implementation and the success of the strategies that monitor and control antimicrobial consumption depend on the availability of information about the extent and patterns of antimicrobial consumption. It demonstrates the potentials and recommendations on obtaining antimicrobial consumption data using defined daily dose as a unit of measurement in Saudi hospital settings.

Abstract:
The Decompressive Craniectomy in Diffuse Traumatic Brain Injury or DECRA trial was the first neurosurgical randomized controlled trail that sought to answer whether decompressive craniectomies (DC) improved patient outcomes after severe diffuse traumatic brain injury (TBI). The trial was conducted over a decade in centers across New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, and Australia, and the results were published in 2011; 155 patients were randomized to two cohorts, the medical management cohort and the medical management plus DC cohort. The primary endpoint was the functional outcomes, measured at 6 months post discharge. The results of the trial were somewhat unanticipated. In spite of achieving superior ICP control and intensive care outcomes, the DC cohort had worse long-term outcomes. The DECRA trial raised several questions and criticisms that currently preclude us from drawing broad conclusions about the efficacy of DC in diffuse TBI.
