Four workshops were conducted for nurse leaders from long term care facilities in Qatar with the overall objective of initiating a practice culture change which would result in evidence of more person-centered care practices. Methods: Workshops were held weekly for 4 weeks. Participants were 23 nurse managers and supervisors from 3 long term residential facilities in Doha, Qatar. Evaluation forms were completed by participants after each workshop and a focus group was conducted with the participants from one facility 12 weeks after the workshops. Results: Participants reported increased person-centered care practices on their units. These practices began with staff coming together around shared values and philosophy and included: more attention to residents’ personal preferences; inclusion of residents and family in decision-making and social activities; individualized care plans; therapeutic relationships. Discussion: More research into the implementation of care models that support Arab religious and family values is essential to meet the growing need for high quality long term residential care in the Arab Gulf region.","PeriodicalId":340840,"journal":{"name":"Middle East Journal of Nursing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122797398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objectives: To determine the effect of language barriers on quality of nursing care at Taif Armed Forces Hospitals and to suggest possible interventions to mitigate the effect of language barriers on quality of nursing care. Methods: This study was conducted in Armed Forces Hospitals, Taif Region. Two different questionnaires were applied (one for nurses in English and the other for admitted patients in Arabic). Total number of respondents was 343 nurses. Results: Forty-nine percent of the nurses reported they have difficulty in dealing with patients because of the language barrier. Healthcare outcomes that were affected because of language barriers include general nursing care, understanding patients’ needs, communication with patients, healthcare errors, having trust in nursing care and feeling satisfaction). An equal percentage of nurses and patients (90% and 89.5%, respectively) suggested that attending an Arabic course during the orientation period is very essential. Conclusion: Future research is required to determine the effectiveness of suggested interventions (e.g., Arabic language courses, bilingual staff, common words dictionary, etc) and their impact on improving communication (i.e., access to care), change behaviors (i.e., health outcomes), and ultimately reduce diseases. Moreover, it is necessary to view the language barrier through a cultural competency model.","PeriodicalId":340840,"journal":{"name":"Middle East Journal of Nursing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130632533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Method: Published research was systemically retrieved, interrogated, and analyzed. Result: Twenty studies met the inclusion criteria. The present review of nursing literature has highlighted a dearth of studies addressing stress and coping in psychiatric nurses. This limits the ability to compare and synthesize findings. However, the published studies paint a picture of psychiatric nurses’ experiences related to workplace stress and interpersonal relationships, particularly with patients and colleagues. These stressors can lead to poor health and daily functioning. Nurses also experience job dissatisfaction and report their intention to change profession as a result of work-related stress. Psychiatric nurses use mainly problem-focused strategies to deal with work stress. Commonly used problemfocused strategies include problem orientation and social support. Overall, psychiatric nurses perceive social support, particularly family support, as an essential component in their coping with stress. It is recommended that health organizations recognize the need to provide appropriate support to nurses, perhaps in line with western initiatives. Discussion: There is no study that has been conducted on the topic in Jordan. Therefore, the research about this topic is a national and international priority. We hope, however, that the next few years will witness conducting some researches about this topic in Jordan in the light of current development in our national competencies that are qualified to conduct such research.","PeriodicalId":340840,"journal":{"name":"Middle East Journal of Nursing","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128109920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nurses as professionals provide care for patients in many areas of health care, from disease prevention to curative care (Oulton, 2006). Although nurses are the largest group of health care providers, many hospitals have a shortage of professional nurses which can in turn affect patients’ care. As a result of this, many countries throughout the world are striving to improve staffing levels of professional nurses in their hospitals (Buchan & Calman, 2004). Saudi Arabia is one such country which has a shortage of nursing staff. The government is now working intensively in the area of nurse education and nursing practice to improve the situation. Saudi Arabia started its own health education programmes in Riyadh in 1958. The main goal was to increase the number of trained Saudi national nurses working within the health care services (Almalki, FitzGerald, Clark, 2011). The Ministry of Health has shown that Saudi Arabian nationals represent less than one quarter of the workforce in the health care sector in Saudi Arabia (MOH 2008; WHO, 2006). Even though there is an increase in the number of graduated Saudi nurses, the majority of the nurses in Saudi Arabia are recruited from abroad, in order to cover the shortage of nurses. There are therefore many challenges faced in these multi-cultural workplaces, which include clashes of beliefs and value systems which can be different from the Saudi culture (Mebrouk, 2008). There are even challenges in the areas of communication within the health care facilities. English is the official recognised language used in the health care sector in Saudi Arabia. Most of the nurses working in the services, both Saudi and non-Saudi, have English as a second or even as a third language. This can lead to gaps in communication between nurses and Abstract","PeriodicalId":340840,"journal":{"name":"Middle East Journal of Nursing","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131807475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
