RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study presents a systematic review of the obstacles to and enablers of family-centered care (FCC) implementation by nurses. FCC, which has demonstrated beneficial outcomes, is regarded as a crucial quality measure in certain pediatric units. However, not all nurses incorporate FCC into their practice. DESIGN AND METHODS: A systematic review was conducted from January to June 2023, adhering to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Various medical subject heading keywords and terms were used to search electronic databases, with the aim of synthesizing and evaluating the results. RESULTS: Twenty-three articles were identified for review. Most of these studies were carried out in Western countries. They revealed several facilitators and obstacles to FCC implementation by nurses when caring for sick children. Some of these factors are linked to the personal attributes of the nurses, while others are associated with the characteristics of the families and the healthcare system itself. CONCLUSION: Nurses face multi-level barriers that hinder their ability to implement FCC practice. This systematic review identifies the need to leverage nurses' attributes, foster effective nurse-client relationships, and promote organizational changes. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Nurses need to comprehend and work toward altering the factors that influence the delivery of FCC. The findings of this review can be used by healthcare organization leaders and policymakers to customize interventions and allocate resources to promote FCC practice. Further research in diverse cultural contexts is needed to examine the cause-and-effect relationship concerning the influence of the identified barriers and facilitators on FCC practice. In addition, experimental studies are required to evaluate the effectiveness of evidence-based interventions on FCC practice by nurses.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Both nurses' well-being and quality of care are top priorities of the healthcare system. Yet, there is still a gap in understanding the extent and how authentic leadership influences them. This information is needed to inform the development of effective interventions, organizational practices, and policies. Thus, this study aimed to test the mechanism by which nurses' perception of their managers' authentic leadership impacts nurses' well-being and perception of quality of care, given the role of the nursing practice environment and nurses' psychological capital. DESIGN: A cross-sectional design was used. METHODS: This study recruited a random sample of 680 nurses from six hospitals in Saudi Arabia. A final sample of 415 completed the surveys, with a response rate of 61%. Structural equation modeling was performed to test the hypothesized model. RESULTS: The study showed that nurses' perceptions of authentic leadership in their managers positively and directly affect their perceptions of quality of care but do not directly affect nurses' well-being. Both the nursing practice environment and psychological capital fully mediated the relationship between authentic leadership and nurses' well-being. However, the nursing practice environment partially mediated the relationship between authentic leadership and perceptions of quality of care. CONCLUSION: The findings contribute to understanding the crucial role of authentic leaders' style in nurses' well-being and quality of care through its positive impact on the nursing practice environment and psychological capital. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Designing interventions and policies that specifically target nursing managers' authentic leadership style has implications for enhancing nurses' well-being and the quality of patient care. Institutional measures are needed to help leaders practice an authentic leadership style to create a positive nursing practice environment and cultivate nurses' psychological capital, both of which contribute to nurses' well-being and attaining a better quality of care. Further work is required to highlight the outcomes of implementing an authentic leadership style relevant to other leadership styles.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Few researchers have examined gender differences in the quality of life (QoL) of parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in diverse cultural contexts. The purpose of this study was to identify how ASD severity, affiliate stigma, perceived social support, family functioning, and coping strategies differentially predict the QoL of mothers and fathers of children with ASD in Saudi Arabia. DESIGN AND METHODS: Based on a cross-sectional research design, data were gathered between April and July 2023 from a convenience sample of 376 parents (220 mothers and 156 fathers) of children with ASD in Saudi Arabia. Welch's t-test and regression were used to achieve the study purpose. RESULTS: Mothers of children with ASD reported lower QoL, perceived social support, and family functioning than fathers. Mothers relied on emotion-focused coping strategies, whereas fathers used problem-focused coping strategies. Furthermore, affiliate stigma, perceived social support, and family functioning significantly predicted the QoL of mothers and fathers of children with ASD. However, the severity of ASD affected only the QoL of the mothers. Problem-focused coping significantly predicted fathers' QoL but not mothers' QoL. CONCLUSIONS: The results highlight gender differences in the factors that predict the QoL of parents of children with ASD in Saudi Arabia. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Healthcare professionals should consider parents' gender when providing support and interventions to improve parental QoL.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: There is limited evidence of children and family-centered care (CFCC) practice in different cultural contexts, particularly regarding the factors that predict it among nurses providing care to chronically ill children. Also, the CFCC's impact on the quality of care has not been well studied. This study aimed to test a hypothesized model in which nurses' attributes and care environments predict CFCC, thereby increasing the quality of nursing care. DESIGN AND METHODS: A multicenter cross-sectional study recruited a convenience sample of 405 nurses caring for chronically ill children in Saudi Arabia for an online survey between February 2023 and August 2023. Structural Equation Modeling evaluated the hypothesized model. RESULTS: The hypothesized model fits the data based on the fit indices. Care environment affected CFCC (ß = 0.831, p = .000), while nursing attributes only indirectly affected CFCC practices through the mediating effect of the work environment (ß = 0.553, p = .000). The CFCC practices positively affect the quality of nursing care (ß = 0.636, p = .000). CONCLUSIONS: Nursing attributes impact the work environment, which affects the practice of CFCC and enhances the quality of care for chronically ill children. Investing in nurses' attributes and a positive work environment is crucial for nursing leaders to enhance CFCC practice and the quality of care. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: The findings of this study can be used to shape policies and develop interventions to improve nursing CFCC practices and promote better quality of care for chronically ill children.

RESUMO

Scant studies have investigated adverse childhood experience (ACE) outcomes and mastery during adolescence in different cultural contexts. This cross-sectional study examines the impact of ACEs on subjective well-being, health complaints, and healthcare utilization during late adolescence, including the mediating role of the sense of mastery in the Saudi context. Adolescents (N = 396) aged 17-21 years were recruited via convenience sampling from colleges and local communities from two regions in Saudi Arabia. Data were collected using a paper-pencil anonymous survey and analyzed using path analysis. Of the sample, 85.5% experienced at least one ACE. ACEs had a direct effect on subjective well-being (p = 0.034), health complaints (p < 0.001), healthcare utilization (p < 0.001), and sense of mastery (p < 0.001). Sense of mastery had an effect on subjective well-being (p < 0.001) and health complaints (p < 0.001), but not on healthcare utilization (p = 0.436). Sense of mastery partially mediated the relationship between ACEs and subjective well-being (p = 0.034) and health complaints (p < 0.001), but not healthcare utilization (p = 0.438). ACEs have detrimental effects on adolescent health. Attention should be paid to primary prevention and early detection to avoid further harm, and interventions that address the role of the sense of mastery should be developed for adolescents.

RESUMO

The objectives of this study were to measure the prevalence of mental distress and to explore the relationship between violence against women (VAW), social support, self-esteem, and mental distress in women in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A questionnaire-guided, cross-sectional, interview-based study was conducted with 1,932 women, in primary healthcare centers. Around 29% reported moderate to severe distress levels, whereas 40% of women reported lifetime exposure to at least one type of violence. Linear regression analysis found that VAW was positively associated with mental distress with a unit increase associated with a 0.13 (0.58, 1.15) increase in distress level, whereas, for both social support and self-esteem, a unit increase in violence was associated with -0.23 (-0.47, -0.32) and -0.22 (-0.49, -0.33) unit decrease in the mental distress. Structural equation modeling found that violence had direct significant negative effects on social support (ß = -.156, p < .001) and self-esteem (ß = -.135, p < .001). Both social support (ß = -.266, p < .001) and self-esteem (ß = -.183, p < .001) had direct significant negative effects on distress. VAW exerted a direct significant positive effect on distress (ß = .171, p < .001) as well as an indirect effect (ß = .068, p < .001). Both social support (ß = .044, p < .001) and self-esteem (ß = .025, p < .001) were significant mediators of the effect of violence on mental distress. VAW can lead to mental distress and low self-esteem. Identification, counseling, and social support for women are important to improve their self-confidence and reduce the adverse effects of violence.

RESUMO

There is a limited understanding of the pathways through which intimate partner violence (IPV) affects school-aged children's mental health. This study aims to examine a hypothesized model in which fathers' perpetration of IPV against mothers affects school-aged children's mental health through family functions, mothers' mental health, and social capital. A cross-sectional study was conducted by recruiting 513 mothers from 17 different Primary Health Care centers in Saudi Arabia. Structural equation modeling was used to test a hypothesized model, controlling the family's financial status. The model accounted for 54.2% of the variance in children's mental health problems. This study reveals that IPV issue against mothers during the last 12 months influences school-aged children's mental health directly and indirectly through the current family functioning and mothers' mental health. The impact of IPV issues on school-aged children's mental health requires particular consideration. The study findings urge attention to preventing the IPV issue against mothers, as well as improving family functioning and treating mothers' mental health to protect school-aged children from mental health problems.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Women have unique health concerns in the context of chronic illness. Although health literacy has been linked to health-related quality of life, the pathway by which some factors mediate this relationship has not been well examined among Saudi women with chronic disease. PURPOSE: This study was designed to examine the relationship between health literacy and health-related quality of life and determine the mediating roles of healthy lifestyle and patient-centered care in explaining this relationship. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was used. A random sample of 20 primary healthcare centers in Saudi Arabia was selected. A convenience sample of 300 women diagnosed with a chronic illness was recruited from these centers. Structural equation modeling was used to test the proposed relationships. RESULTS: Controlling for women's age and education, the hypothesized model adequately fit the data. Health literacy and its dimensions were found to positively and directly affect both patient-centered care (ß = 0.614, B = 0.189, p < .001) and healthy lifestyle behaviors (ß = 0.550, B = 1.211, p < .001). Furthermore, both patient-centered care (ß = 0.390, B = 1.301, p < .001) and healthy lifestyle behaviors (ß = 0.322, B = 0.150, p < .001) were found to positively and directly affect health-related quality of life, whereas health literacy had significant, direct (ß = 0.285, B = 0.292, p < .001) and indirect (ß = 0.417, B = 0.428, p < .001) effects on health-related quality of life through patient-centered care and healthy lifestyle behaviors. CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Special consideration should be given to health literacy, patient-centered care, and healthy lifestyle behaviors to enhance health-related quality of life in women with chronic illness. Gender-specific health services and interventions are needed to improve women's health literacy.

RESUMO

Background In this study, we aimed to estimate the prevalence and identify the correlates of sexual harassment among female healthcare workers in a tertiary care hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methodology A cross-sectional study was conducted among 432 female healthcare workers in both Arabic and English languages. The questionnaire consisted of five sections which included the sociodemographic characteristics, a sexual harassment survey, the Kessler distress scale, social support, and the Rosenberg self-esteem scale. Unadjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated to identify the significant factors associated with harassment. Results Sexual harassment was reported by 15.5% of the participants, with verbal harassment being the most commonly reported (66%), followed by physical harassment (34%). Around three-fourths of harassment acts took place during the daytime, and 18% of the participants preferred to keep quiet about it. Moderate distress [2.38 (1.17, 4.84)] and severe distress [2.31 (1.09, 4.90)], feeling hopeless [2.86 (1.47, 5.57)] and feeling depressed [3.70 (1.62, 8.48)] were significantly associated with sexual harassment. Low self-esteem items, such as "I don't have good qualities" [4.78 (2.0, 11.43)], "don't have much to be proud of" [2.10 (1.22, 3.63)], "wish that I have more respect for myself" [2.30 (1.36, 3.90)], and "inclined to feel that I am a failure" [2.27 (1.24, 4.16)] were significantly associated with sexual harassment. Conclusions It is important for all employees to know about their rights and report all types of harassment acts. Counseling sexually harassed victims should focus on improving the self-esteem and mental distress of these women. Prevention of harassment against female healthcare workers can improve their mental health as well as their quality of work.

RESUMO

This study assesses older adults' fear of contamination in the post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) era, examining the factors associated with this fear and investigating its effects on their well-being and use of primary healthcare, considering the moderating effects of activities of daily living (ADL) and multimorbidity in these two relationships. A cross-sectional study was conducted in primary healthcare centers in three regions in Saudi Arabia with a convenience sample of 444 older adults diagnosed with chronic diseases. The results indicated that 77.9% of older adults had high contamination fear, predicted by their age, education level, gender, ADL, and previous COVID-19 infection experience. Subjective well-being and the number of primary healthcare visits in the post-COVID-19 era were negatively affected by contamination fear and both ADL and multimorbidity moderated these relationships. In conclusion, the study confirmed the need to focus on older adults' contamination fear to mitigate its negative effects on well-being and critical primary healthcare visits.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To examine the pathway in which health literacy affects diabetic patients' quality of life (QoL) with self-care management skills and glycemic control levels (hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c]) mediating the relationship. METHODS: A cross-sectional study carried out between April 2019 and September 2019. A convenience sample of participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus were recruited from 3 primary healthcare centers, Al Ahsa, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected using structured interviews and HbA1c levels were collected from medical files. Structural equation modeling was also used. RESULTS: Among the 256 participants, 27.3% had a marginal level of health literacy and 35.5% had an inadequate level of health literacy. Health literacy positively affects self-care management, glycemic control (HbA1c), and QoL directly and indirectly. Self-care management partially mediates this relationship. CONCLUSION: Healthcare providers need to assess health literacy and develop interventions that enhance diabetic patients' health literacy because it influences self-care management skills, glycemic control, and patients' QoL. Health literacy should be considered as a key for health education and healthcare encounter to improve health outcomes.

RESUMO

This study aimed to examine the association between cultural competency, structural empowerment, and effective communication among nurses in Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional correlational design was used. The study questionnaire utilized three scales: the Culture Competence Scale, Conditions for Work Effectiveness Questionnaire-II, and Communication Competency Assessment Scale. All the scales were culturally adapted and translated using an integrated method. The questionnaire was distributed through an online survey using a convenience sampling approach. Data were collected from 396 participants. The findings showed statistically significant association between cultural competency and effective communication (r = 0.747, p < 0.001) and between structural empowerment and cultural competency (r = −0.123, p = 0.014). Moreover, the overall model with effective communication and structural empowerment as predictors, controlling for nurses' nationality significantly explains 56% of the variance in cultural competency. Structural empowerment did not significantly predict cultural competency (b = −0.052, ß = −0.069, p < 0.052, 95% CI = [−0.104, −0.001]), while effective communication was found to be a significant positive independent predictor of cultural competency (b = 0.745, ß = 0.741, p < 0.001, 95% CI = [0.677, 0.811]). The findings underline the need to make effective communication courses mandatory in undergraduate nursing curricula. Healthcare systems should be built such that they support the empowerment of the nursing workforce from different nationalities and establish effective communication policies to enhance cultural competency among nurses. Future research in this area is needed to validate the result of this study.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Immunizations protect children from deadly infectious diseases. Yet, there is still insufficient understanding of the factors associated with parents' non-adherence to immunizations in contexts outside of Western countries. The aim of this study is twofold: (a) to investigate non-adherence to immunizations for children aged 6 months to 6 years in Saudi Arabia based on the number of immunizations missing or delayed by more than one month; and (b) to examine the underlying factors that predict the extent of non-adherence based on the Health Belief Model framework. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out in 22 randomly selected primary health care centers. Structured interviews were also conducted to collect data using the modified Health Belief Model questionnaire. Multiple regression analysis was used to assess the predictors of the extent of non-adherence. RESULTS: Based on data from 220 participants, 51.8% of parents did not adhere with childhood immunizations. There was no significant relationship between parents' sociodemographic characteristics and the extent of their hesitancy about children's immunizations. The linear combination of perception of infectious disease severity, perception of their children's susceptibility, perception of immunization benefits, perception of fewer barriers to obtaining immunizations, cues to action related to immunizations, and self-efficacy predicted the extent of non-adherence to immunizations (F (11.220) = 2.595, p < 0.001) and explained 12% of its variance. Yet, only perceived children's susceptibility, perceived barriers, and self-efficacy independently predicted parents' non-adherence. CONCLUSION: Saudi Arabia's high proportion of non-adherence to childhood immunizations should be addressed. For instance, a health education program could be developed to increase parents' awareness that their children are susceptible to health risks. Paying a special attention to existing barriers in accessing and receiving the immunizations is crucial. In addition, building parents' self-efficacy, which is confident in making healthy decisions, such as keeping their children's immunizations up to date, is important.

RESUMO

AIM: To test a model that examines the direct and indirect effects of work-related stress on job-related affective well-being through compassion fatigue. BACKGROUND: Despite the danger of infection, nurses' dedication to their work appears to be an innate desire to provide care for patients with COVID-19. Nonetheless, the universal effort to control the outbreak has led to extended work hours and workload, which has been defined as the primary contributor to work-related stress among nurses and might impact their job-related affective well-being. METHOD: We used a cross-sectional exploratory design. Data were collected using an online survey from 161 nurses working in the Saudi health care system. The survey included obtaining information on demographics and work-related stress using Professional Quality of Life Scale version 5 to measure compassion fatigue as well as a job-related affective well-being scale. RESULTS: Work-related stress had significant negative direct effects on job-related affective well-being and positive effects on compassion fatigue. Compassion fatigue had significantly negative direct effects on job-related affective well-being. Work-related stress exerted negative indirect effects on job-related affective well-being through compassion fatigue, which partially mediated the relationship. CONCLUSION: The findings supported the model and added to our understanding regarding the impact of work-related stress on nurses. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Stress reduction is an important element in improving staff outcomes as well as job-related affective well-being.

RESUMO

Intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy is a significant issue. Nevertheless, the prevalence of IPV and its adverse outcomes in pregnant women in Saudi Arabia are not well documented. This study examines the prevalence of IPV, its relationship with women's background characteristics, and its effect on adverse pregnancy outcomes. A cross-sectional study was conducted using a convenience sample of 684 women who were either pregnant or in the first six weeks postpartum in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. IPV severity was measured using the Composite Abuse Scale. The results showed that 28.9% of the women included in this study experienced IPV. Smoking habit, income, polygamous marriage, presence of chronic diseases and sexual dysfunction, and number of children were significantly associated with IPV severity. In each one-unit increase in total IPV severity, the possibility of the occurrence of preterm labor, vaginal bleeding, dehydration, gestational diabetes, urinary tract infection, spontaneous abortion, and intrauterine growth retardation significantly increases. Furthermore, regarding the types of abuse, we found that for each one-unit increase in verbal abuse, the possibility of the occurrence of preterm labor, dehydration, urinary tract infection, and intrauterine growth retardation significantly increases. Moreover, for each one-unit increase in physical abuse and one-unit increase in controlling behavior, the possibility of the occurrence of intrauterine growth retardation significantly increases. The current results highlight the importance of paying substantial attention to IPV and its types as a health issue that increases the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in women. A clinical assessment during pregnancy is needed to identify and manage cases of IPV survivors and ultimately reduce their risk of IPV.

RESUMO

The research examining elder abuse in diverse cultural contexts, such as in Saudi Arabia, remains limited. This study examined the extent of psychological elder abuse among older Saudi adults and investigated the characteristics of the victims that increase the risk of such abuse and its impact on older adults' self-rated health. Between December 2021 and April 2022, a sample of 444 older adults were recruited from 25 primary health care centers in Saudi Arabia and completed a structured interview. Of those surveyed, 88.3% reported at least one symptom or suspected symptom of psychological elder abuse. Age, gender, income, living arrangements, functioning, and social networking predicted vulnerability psychological elder abuse. Self-rated health was negatively impacted by psychological elder abuse, and this relationship is not moderated by social networking. These findings can provide insights about psychological elder abuse in Saudi Arabia and increase awareness of its impact.

RESUMO

To increase our understanding of chronic pain in clinical and research contexts, an assessment of its dimensions using reliable and valid self-reported pain measures is imperative. However, well-validated Arabic chronic pain assessment scales are lacking. The Chronic Pain Grade (CPG) scale has been used worldwide, yet an Arabic version of the CPG scale has not yet been validated. Thus, we conducted this study to demonstrate the psychometric properties, including reliability, convergent validity, and construct validity of the Arabic CPG scale. A cross-sectional study was conducted in two hospitals in Saudi Arabia. Data were collected from a convenience sample of 233 chronic pain patients. The confirmatory factor analysis showed an excellent fit with the factor structure of the CPG scale and, thus, supported construct validity. The two identified subscales were pain intensity and pain disability. Convergent validity was supported by having significant correlations between the short-form McGill Pain Questionnaire and CPG subscales. Internal consistency reliability was demonstrated, as Cronbach's α was 0.916 for pain intensity and 0.815 for pain disability. This study provides evidence that the Arabic CPG scale is a reliable and valid measure of chronic pain dimensions, including pain intensity, and pain-related disability. This Arabic version of the CPG scale has the potential to expand research and clinical assessment in the Arab world. Future studies are required for further validation.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To examined the impacts of chronic pain on depression and poor sleep quality dimensions as well as the mediating function of poor sleep quality in the pathway between chronic pain and depression. METHODS: Between March 2019 and February 2020, we conducted a cross-sectional study on 233 chronic pain patients in 2 tertiary hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. RESULTS: Of the 233 patients, 36% had depression, while 66.1% had poor sleep quality. Chronic pain intensity and pain disability significantly explained 10.9% of depressed affect variance, 4.9% of anhedonia variance, 17.3% of somatic complaint variance, 4.5% of interpersonal difficulty variance, 7.4% of sleep efficiency variance, and 15% of perceived sleep quality variance. The result also showed a positive, direct effect of chronic pain on poor sleep quality, which in turn positively and directly affect depression. However, chronic pain had only indirect effect on depression. CONCLUSIONS: Among chronic pain patients, the high rates of poor sleep quality and depression requires a special attention. Chronic pain intensity and disability predict depression and sleep quality dimensions differently. The result underlines the need of managing poor sleep quality to address depression in the context of chronic pain.

RESUMO

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious public health issue at the global level, with cultural differences in its nature and prevalence. Most of the current evidence related to IPV comes from Western countries; however, there is a lack of evidence of IPV in developing countries such as Saudi Arabia. The issue of IPV has been investigated in Saudi Arabia only recently, and data have been inconsistent and inconclusive. Hence, we conducted a systematic review of the extant literature devoted to IPV prevalence, risk factors, and outcomes as well as Saudi women's help-seeking behaviors. Various databases, such as PubMed, CINAHL, Medline, PsycINFO, and reference lists of the reviewed studies, were searched to identify relevant studies by using different keywords. The review included 16 studies that met the inclusion criteria, which revealed several findings. There is no national representative prevalence study of IPV in the Saudi context. Various IPV definitions were used with limited evidence for the reliability and validity of the used IPV measures. IPV is a prevalent issue among Saudi women, but rates are comparable to those of other countries. There are various individual, relational, and sociocultural factors that increase women's vulnerability to IPV victimization. However, limited information is available regarding IPV protective factors. More importantly, IPV experiences negatively affect Saudi women's physical and mental health status. Saudi women rarely seek formal support for IPV. This review also highlights the lack of IPV data and inconsistencies in defining and measuring IPV. More rigorous research regarding IPV is needed to help develop relevant preventive and intervention programs.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the level of structural empowerment and explore its relationship with job performance among nurses. BACKGROUND: Empowered nurses display more authority and an awareness of the accomplishment of their contribution to organizational goals. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a convenience sample of nurses in 4 hospitals in Jordan. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. RESULTS: A total of 195 nurses responded to the questionnaires, including 88 males (45.1%) and 107 females (54.9%). Overall, participants perceived their work environment to be moderately empowering. There is a significant positive correlation between structural empowerment and job performance. CONCLUSIONS: Highly empowered nurses display higher performance than less empowered nurses. Nurse managers must create an empowering work environment that supports nurses' job performance positively through structural empowerment. Applying structural empowerment in the work setting is crucial for ensuring the highest quality of patient care, improving nurses' performance, and reaching the organizational goals.
