Introduction Coronavirus disease is the most striking pandemic across the world that every country is addressing and talking about it now. Nurses deliver the highest level of functioning in the health care team. Nurses need to understand the COVID-19 preparedness and response process. Therefore, it becomes very important to assess a nurse's knowledge of preparedness and response to Corona Virus Disease (Covid-19). Methods The research approach was quantitative in nature by using the descriptive cross-sectional survey among nurses working under MOH Hospitals in Najran region, KSA. The sample participated in the survey was 594 and the tool used for the study was a modified questionnaire on Nurse's preparedness and response to COVID-19. The questionnaire contained five parts and the first part included basic information of the nurses and the second part was composed of yes or no questions assessing the nurse's Knowledge on COVID-19 preparedness and the third part composed of facility and response readiness to triage screening and the fourth part consist of nurses preparedness and readiness on COVID and fifth part composed of nurse's preparedness and readiness on peroneal protective equipment's and the study was approved by Institutional Review Board (IRB). Data was presented by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results Our study results found that overall knowledge of COVID preparedness was adequate. However, the nurse's preparedness on personal protective equipment was moderate. Majority of respondents were Registered Nurses 587(98.9%)and most of the respondents were employed by the Ministry of Health 586(98.7%)and the nurse's knowledge of preparedness was 456(76.8%) and the facilities preparedness and response readiness was 549(92.4) and adequate supply of personal protective equipment (PPE) 519(87. 3%). Conclusion The findings of the study exhibit that nurses have an adequate level of knowledge towards the preparedness and response to coronavirus diseases.

Introduction. Technological advancements have transformed nursing care, quality, and education across the globe. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), the inventions and adoption of mobile technologies such as an e-health application (app) called SEHA continue to revolutionize the healthcare system in the country. Purpose. The present systematic review is aimed at examining the technological impact on nursing in Saudi Arabia. The study provides a comprehensive analysis of telehealth and its role in nursing quality, nursing practice, and education. Methods. The present study adopted a literature review methodology by deriving data from journal articles from different databases, for example, Web Science, Google Scholar, CINAHL, MEDLINE, and PubMed databases. Inclusive years for the search ranged from 2016 to 2022. A total of eight articles were found dovetailing to meet the research objectives and answer research questions. Result. After appraising and analyzing the research, the present review found that (Abolfotouh et al., 2019) telehealth in nursing is loosely researched; (Ahmed et al., 2021) telehealth impacts nursing practice and quality by fostering nurse-patient communication promoting positive outcomes, seamless nursing care, and positive experiences; and (Albahri et al., 2021) telehealth and telemedicine is a central tenet of contemporary nursing education and practice. Conclusion. From these findings, this analysis informed three key recommendations: the need to integrate telehealth into the nursing curriculum, telehealth training, and reskilling among healthcare workers (HCWs) in KSA and further primary studies focusing predominantly on telenursing. Overall, telehealth remains a fundamental transformation of nursing practice that forms a central ideology in the contemporary nursing process.

Aim and Background:The concept of energy is fundamental in nursing as it constitutes nurses' roles in any given environment. Energy interconnects a nurse's role with the environment, individual, power, activity, and effort. The present analysis aims to identify how energy is related to the nursing field and identify how energy either positively or negatively affects the nurse and how effectively they play their roles.Design: This analysis leverages Avant and Walker's eight-step method of concept analysis to identify the features, countenances, and antecedents of energy as a concept in nursing practice. Methodology:The methodology highlights energy's practical and theoretical role in nursing using three defining attributes: aura, current, and person. The antecedents included are God and life, while the consequence examined is spiritual tranquility. A model case, borderline, and the contrary case is presented to emphasize the identified attributes as they underlie the concept of energy. Results:The analysis established an in-depth understanding of energy that can be used effectively to analyze the role of nurses in the workforce. Energy is a fundamental facet of nursing that betters the lives of individuals. From the perspective of energy, energy originates from something greater than human beings. This aspect allows a flow of energy into the nurse and consequently sharing of such energy between nurse and clients, which allows spiritual tranquility. Conclusion:The impact of the concept of energy includes the interpersonal relationship between persons by affecting the transmission of impulses from individuals. Thus, identifying the energy field is vital in identifying how it applies to the role of nurses.
