This study explores the association between nursing burnout and Electronic Health Record (EHR) use in a Saudi Arabian hospital adopting an advanced EHR system. Utilising a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative analysis of 282 survey responses and qualitative interviews from 21 registered nurses. Despite high EHR acceptance, negative perceptions and stress related to EHR use were identified.

Objective: This systematic review aimed to examine the association between EHR use and clinicians' stress and burnout in hospital settings, and to identify the contributing factors influencing this relationship.
Methods: The search included peer-reviewed published studies between 2000 and 2023 in English in CINAHL, Ovid Medline, Embase, and PsychINFO.
Background: Needle insertions are painful, yet they are frequently performed for adults and children without using local anaesthetic (LA) to minimise pain and anxiety.
Objectives: A hypothetical model was formulated to explore the factors related to Saudi nurses' self-reported readiness to use LA prior to undertaking parenteral procedures in their workplaces.
Design: This was an exploratory, cross-sectional study.
The use of local anesthetics to relieve pain associated with intravenous cannulation and arterial blood gas sampling is given low priority in many health institutions. This review sought to identify factors influencing nurses' use of local anesthetics for these procedures. The Database Syntax Guide for Systematic Reviewers was used; health-relevant studies were critically assessed with appropriate Critical Appraisal Skills Programme tools.
