Objective: This study aimed to explore nurses' experiences in delivering emergency trauma care during the COVID-19 pandemic at a level I trauma centre in Saudi Arabia.
Methods: A qualitative, descriptive phenomenological design was utilised, in which face-to-face, unstructured interviews were carried out with emergency and trauma nurses at a level I trauma centre in Saudi Arabia. The study included nine registered emergency and trauma nurses who were interviewed twice from February to April 2021.
Introduction: Nurses confront doubts about their accountability and how it affects their clinical practice daily in the complex environment of an emergency department. Therefore, nurses' experiences can provide vital information about the decisions and dilemmas in clinical practice that affect both healthcare professionals and patients alike.
Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the perceptions of nursing staff in an English emergency department in relation to their ethical, legal and professional accountability.

The more traditional and commonly used approaches to positivist (validity and generalisability) or interpretivist (trustworthiness) research do not necessarily complement the philosophical principles of post-positivist critical realism.
Aims: To discuss an approach to ensuring scientific rigour in post-positivist critical realist research using an enhanced version of the quality assurance model, TAPUPAS, that has an additional criterion: modified objectivity.
