    Nursing Faculty’s readiness to teach online has been recognized as a critical prerequisite for effective online teaching. To examine the Nursing Faculty’s level of readiness to teach online among a sample of nursing educators from Saudi Arabia and the UK. A convenient sample of 152 (46%) Nursing Faculty from five universities across Saudi Arabia and the UK completed Part 2 of The Faculty Readiness to Teach Online (FRTO)’ survey between February – June 2021. Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis One-Way Analysis of Variance tests were used to examine the differences in the average median scores of the participants’ responses across selected independent variables. Nursing Faculty from Saudi Arabia universities have scored significantly higher Median score than their British counterparts on the Course Design subscale ( z=-2.6 , p = 0.01 ) and Time Management subscale ( z=-4.403 , p = 0.001 ), and Nursing Faculty who completed a training course before they can teach online have also scored significantly higher median score than those who didn’t on the same two subscales respectively ( X 2 = 6.15, df = 2, p = 0.05), (X 2 = 12, df = 2, p = 0.002). Female Nursing Faculty scored significantly higher median score than male Nursing Faculty on the Course Communication subscale ( z=-2.73 , p = 0.006). Moreover, Nursing Faculty who mostly used asynchronous online teaching significantly scored the highest median score on the technical subscale ( X 2 = 8.64 , df = 3 , p = 0.03 ). The number of years of teaching online emerged as a key factor for defining the Nursing Faculty’s level of readiness to teach online. For example, those Nursing Faculty with 6 years and longer of online teaching experience have scored significantly higher median scores on in Course Communication ( X 2 = 23.4, df = 4, p = 0.00), Time Management ( X 2 = 13.2, df = 4, p = 0.01) and Technical ( X 2 = 10.13, df = 4, p = 0.008) subscales compared with those with less than 6 year of online teaching experience. Nursing Faculty across Saudi and British universities who teach on MSc program have scored significantly higher median scores than those who teach on other programs on all four subscales. The Nursing Faculty expressed a high level of competency in teaching online, with significant variations based on socio-demographic parameters. Future research needs to examine the factors that shape the Nursing Faculty’s readiness to teach online.

    Background: Approximately five million patients on yearly basis are being admitted to the critical care unit around the world. Around (77%) of these patients suffer from pain during their stay in critical care units. Undertreated pain aggravates anxiety, sleep deprivation, agitation, delirium, and depression that often lead to a chronic condition. There are various barriers toward recognition and proper management of pain such as sedation, the presence of endotracheal tube, healthcare providers lack of knowledge etc. Therefore, it becomes essential for the nurses to have the required knowledge related to pain, valid pain assessment tools, and proper management. Objective: The present study aimed at investigating the critical care nurses’ knowledge and attitude towards pain management at a university hospital in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design of 112 nurses working at intensive care units and emergency department. The data collected using a knowledge and attitude regarding pain (KASRP) survey. Results: Majority of nurses had inadequate knowledge regarding pain management. Among 112 nurses, only 8 nurses (7.1%) were with good level of knowledge compared by 54 nurses (48.2%) with poor level of knowledge. Results showed significant association between knowledge and attitude and the current position in the ICU (p=0.043). Conclusion: It is mandatory to monitor nurses’ pain management knowledge continuously. As well as to emphasis significance of an educational programs that serve nursing practice.

    Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare, 2022
    Background The number of hemodialysis patients has dramatically increased over the years. The cost of healthcare provision to those patients has been rising as well. In addition, pain management during arteriovenous fistula (AVF) cannulation is an important aspect of nursing care. Patients’ outcomes and appropriate pain control are one of the most critical issues in healthcare. Purpose To measure the level of pain and anxiety associated with arteriovenous fistula cannulation among hemodialysis patients. Methods A correlational cross-sectional research design was used in this study at the Hemodialysis Unit at King Fahad Hospital of the university, Al-Khobar, in the Eastern region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia using a self-administered questionnaire. Ethical approval was obtained. A convenience sample of 117 HD patients from the previous mentioned setting were included in the study. The data were collected using three tools: sociodemographic characteristics, Numerical Analogue Scale (NAS), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Using IBM SPSS software package version 25.0, statistical significance of the obtained results was judged at the 5% level. Results According to the results, most of the participants experienced a mild to moderate level of pain and anxiety during arteriovenous fistula cannulation. Furthermore, there was a positive association between the level of pain and anxiety, with statistical significance (p<0.001). Conclusion Based on the results of the study, most of the study participants’ level of pain and anxiety during AVF cannulation ranged between mild and moderate.

    Medical Archives, 2022
    Background: Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is a prevalent fatal problem and a major cause of avoidable death among morbid hospitalized patients. It is estimated that up to 900,000 people in the United States are affected each year. Additionally, around 60,000 to 100,000 Americans die annually of DVT. Objective: To assess studied nurses’ knowledge and practice regarding Deep venous thrombosis prevention. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional research design was used in this study at King Fahad Hospital of the University in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, using a self-administered questionnaire. A total of 67 nurses from medical and surgical units were included in the study. Data were coded and analyzed using SPSS 23.0 version. Results: According to the results, the knowledge and practice of nurses were found to be high. Total knowledge score regarding prevention of deep venous thrombosis (72.8±9.6), regarding studied nurses, score for each subcategory: general knowledge category (70.6±15.5), deep venous thrombosis risk factors category (66.5±13.1), and deep venous thrombosis prevention category (90.1±10.5). in addition, a statically significance association between nurses’ years of experience (p=0.026), previous Deep venous thrombosis education (p=0.012), and total knowledge score regarding the prevention of deep venous thrombosis. Concerning the self-reported practice, the majority of the studied nurses have shown a very high practice score. Yet, there was no statically significant association between the sociodemographic characteristic and practice. Furthermore, a positive association between total knowledge and reported practice score but statically insignificant (p=0.075). Conclusion: Based on the result of the study, most of the studied nurses’ level of knowledge and practice concerning the prevention of deep vein thrombosis ranged between high and very high.
