Attitude toward vital signs monitoring and its predictors among clinical nurses in Saudi Arabia.

Positive attitudes toward assessing vital signs are essential in ensuring quality assessments and recognizing patients' declining conditions. However, few studies have been conducted that examine the attitudes of nurses toward this fundamental nursing skill. This research investigated the predictors of clinical nurses' attitudes toward vital signs monitoring in identifying the patients' deteriorating state.

Association of personal and professional factors, resilience and quality of life of registered nurses in a university medical city in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

This study assessed the resilience of nurses in Saudi Arabia during the corona virus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and examined its influence on their quality of life (QOL). A sample of 356 nurses was surveyed in this quantitative, cross-sectional study using the Resilience Scale for Nurses and the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) from October 2020 to March 2021. The nurses reported the highest resilience score on "situational pattern", while the lowest score was on "relational pattern.

Nurse-Patient/Relatives Conflict and Patient Safety Competence Among Nurses.

Nurse-patient/relatives conflicts may adversely impact the well-being and work performance of nurses, which could prelude to the possibility of unwanted errors thereby threatening patient safety. This descriptive and cross-sectional study aimed to examine the association between nurses' perceived nurse-patient/family conflicts and their perceived patient safety (PS) competence. Nurse-patient/relatives conflicts are critical issues that may adversely impact the nurses' well-being, which could prelude to unwanted errors, thereby threatening PS.

MiR-624-5p enhances NLRP3 augmented gemcitabine resistance via EMT/IL-1β/Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in ovarian cancer.

The current study investigates the NLRP3's cytotoxicity inhibitory effect among ovarian cancer cells and how it interacts with Wnt/β-catenin in vitro conditions. Further, the study also analyzed the regulatory role of NLRP3 in resistance to gemcitabine among ovarian cancer cells and its underlying interaction mechanisms with Wnt/β-catenin in vitro. The current in vitro study detailed that when downregulating NLRP3, it could enhance the gemcitabine sensitivity in GRC cells.

miRNA Let-7a-5p targets RNA KCNQ1OT1 and Participates in Osteoblast Differentiation to Improve the Development of Osteoporosis.

It is known that miRNA mediates the formation of osteogenesis, but the mechanism by which miRNA let-7a-5p regulates osteogenesis in osteoporosis (OP) is not yet understood. This paper aims to probe into the regulatory mechanism of miRNA let-7a-5p in the development of OP. Fresh femoral trabecular bones of patients with osteoporotic fracture (OP group, n = 25) and non-OP osteoarthritis (Non-OP group, n = 23) who underwent hip replacement in our hospital from December 2016 to December 2019 were collected.

Nursing Students' Knowledge, Competence and Attitudes towards Vital Signs Monitoring during Clinical Practice.

Aim And Objective: This study assessed the perceived knowledge and competence, and the attitude of Saudi nursing students towards vital signs monitoring for detecting patient deterioration during clinical rotation. It also examined the predictors of students' attitudes.

Background: One of the most important uses of vital signs monitoring is the early detection of deterioration.

Quality of Life Among Breast and Colon Cancer Patients Before and After First-Cycle Chemotherapy.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the functioning, symptoms, and quality of life (QoL) of patients with breast or colon cancer before and after their first-cycle (FC) chemotherapy.

Design: One-group pretest/posttest design.

Method: The study utilized the standardized Arabic-translated Quality of Life Questionnaire Version 3 from the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer in measuring the functioning, symptoms, and QoL of 120 Saudi patients diagnosed with breast or colon cancer.

Influence of workplace incivility on the quality of nursing care.

Aims And Objectives: To examine the influence of workplace incivility on the quality of nursing care.

Background: Recent evidence describes workplace incivility as a serious concern in the healthcare setting worldwide. Exposure to workplace incivility can alter a nurse's behaviour, thought process and perspective towards the nursing profession.

Influence of Religiosity on the Saudi Nursing Students' Attitudes Toward Older People and Perceptions on Elderly Care.

This cross-sectional study examined the influence of Saudi nursing students' religiosity on their attitudes toward older people and on their perceptions of elderly care. A sample of 175 nursing students of a government university in Saudi Arabia was surveyed using the Kogan's Attitudes toward Older People Scale, the Perspectives on Caring for Older Adults Scale, and the Muslim Religious Index. The students reported they are religious, they have modest attitudes toward older people, and they have neutral perception about elderly care.

Culture of quality in infection prevention of a hospital as perceived by health care workers.

Aim: This research aimed to assess the culture of quality in infection prevention (CQIP) of a university hospital as perceived by health care workers (HCWs).

Background: Health care-associated infections are serious concerns in hospitals in Saudi Arabia. Hence, assessing their CQIP is necessary.

Workplace incivility and its influence on professional quality of life among nurses from multicultural background: A cross-sectional study.

Aims And Objectives: To investigate the workplace incivility of nurses working in two Saudi hospitals and analyse its influence on the nurses' professional quality of life (ProQOL).

Background: The prevalence and economic impact of workplace incivility cannot be overstated and disregarded. To the current authors' knowledge, no extensive study on this topic has been conducted in Saudi Arabia.

The Learning Preferences among Nursing Students in the King Saud University in Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Survey.
