Objectives: Globally, there is emerging evidence on the use of community health workers and volunteers in low-income and middle-income settings for the management of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), provision of out-of-clinic screening, linkage with health services, promotion of adherence, and counselling on lifestyle and dietary changes. Little guidance exists on the role of this workforce in supporting NCD care for refugees who lack access to continuous care in their host country. The goals of this work were to evaluate the current roles of community health volunteers (CHVs) in the management of diabetes and hypertension (HTN) among Syrian refugees and to suggest improvements to the current primary care model using community health strategies.

Patient safety is an important outcome for nurses who provide patient care within an environment that may increase the incidence of errors or impose them to omit care; these errors mostly happen because of staff shortage. The purpose of this study is to identify the types and reasons of "missed nursing care" among Jordanian nurses, and to examine the relationships between "missed nursing care", staffing, intent to leave, and job satisfaction. A cross-sectional descriptive design was used.
