“…Nevertheless, important concerns must be taken into consideration before the surgery. For instance, nurses conveyed the essential instructions regarding the post-operation management of pain (Panlican et al, 2020 ). In this context, nurses were obliged to enlighten the patients regarding their illness, to assess their psychological capacity, and to inform them of accessible alternatives to handling their illness (Al‐Mutair et al, 2014 ).…”

Background: Holistic practices have been found beneficial for patients as well as nurses. They increase both the nurses and the patients’ health-promoting behaviors, spirituality, and interpersonal relationships.Objective: This study aimed to determine holistic nursing care and compare its differences based on individual characteristics.Methods: This study employed a quantitative-cross sectional approach. It was conducted at the hospitals of Hail region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, from February 2020 to March 2020. Selected through convenience sampling, 154 operating room nurses participated in the study. Frequency and percentages were used to analyze the demographic information, and t-tests and analysis of variance were used to test for differences.Results: Holistic nursing dimensions such as physiological (4.72 ± 0.40), socio-cultural (4.53 ± 0.45), psychological (4.66 ± 0.32), and spiritual aspects (4.22 ± 0.73) were consistently carried out in the operating room. On the physiological dimension, no significant differences were found in years of experience [(t) -0.073; p > 0.942], gender [(t) -1.113; p > 0.27], or age [(F) 0.558; p > 0.57), but there was a significant difference with nationality [(t) -3.328; p < 0.001]. On the socio-cultural dimension, the length of experience [(t) 0.599; p > 0.550], gender, [(t) -1.420; p > 0.158], and age [(F) 0.148; p > 0.862] were not significant, but a significant difference was found with nationality [(t) -7.516; p < 0.001]. Regarding the psychological dimension, the length of experience [(t) -1.101; p > 0.276], gender [(t) -1.545; p > 0.129], and age [(F) 1.259; p > 0.287] were not significant, but there was a significant difference with nationality [(t) -5.492; p < 0.001]. Finally, with the spiritual dimension, no significant difference was found on length of experience [(t) -1.101; p > 0.276] or age [(F) 0.584; p > 0.559], but there were significant differences on gender [(t) -3.890; p < 0.001] and nationality [(t) -3.653; p < 0.001].Conclusion: Nationality is a causal factor to physiological, socio-cultural, psychological, and spiritual dimensions, while gender is significant to spiritual aspect. Regardless of nationality or gender, nurses must be knowledgeable regarding the significance of adopting holistic care to improve the quality of their care to their patients.

“…These findings are consistent with earlier studies. For example, along with a positive attitude, the participants also had an average level of knowledge (Mehrdad et al, 2012;Panlican et al, 2020). Indeed, in a previous study, it was found that the participants' attitude toward EBP was more positive than their knowledge/skills and adoption of EBP (Shafiei et al, 2014).…”

Background: While previous studies explored the implementation and barriers to evidence-based practice (EBP), there is a dearth of literature on the causative factors such as demographics that affect the implementation and barriers to EBP.Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the factors affecting the implementation of EBP and determine its barriers as perceived by nurse practitioners.Methods: This study employed a quantitative correlational design. A total of 228 staff nurses from the hospitals in the Hail region, Saudi Arabia, participated in this study through purposive sampling. The evidence-based practice questionnaire (EBPQ) and the barriers scale questionnaire were used to collect the data between June and July 2020. The descriptive statistics, t-test, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to analyze the collected data.Results: The nurses showed a positive attitude (x=15.25±5.07), good knowledge (x=63.44±19.81), as well as good application of EBP (x=28.02±6.68) with an outstanding EBP score of 106.73 out of 168. Nurses’ civil status (p<0.02), nationality (p<0.05), highest degree (p<0.01), job title (p<0.001), and years of experience (p<0.001) significantly affected the implementation of EBP. Also, the biggest barriers to EBP were: “No time to read research” (94.3%), “Research is not readily available” (97.8%), “Not capable to evaluate the quality of research” (90.4 %), and “Uncertain whether to believe results” (68.4%).Conclusion: Nurses have a positive attitude, good knowledge, and good application of EBP. Civil status, nationality, highest degree, job title, and years of experience were causative factors to EBP. Nurses in hospitals should undergo training continuously to be able to use EBP effectively.

Introduction: Nurses spend more time with patients than any other member of the healthcare team. They play a critical, active and very important part in controlling cancer patients' pain and alleviating suffering. This study aimed to explore current nursing practices in the oncology hospital and the level of knowledge they possess about pain and its management in clinical settings. Methods: This is a transversal type study developed on the basis of cluster sampling type on nurses in the Oncology Hospital, Tirana. The study was conducted in the period 2016-2018 and the sample consisted of 119 nurses. Results: In total, 119 questionnaires were completed by oncology hospital nurses. Regarding the gender of was seen a predominance of women nurses compared to men 78.15% and 21.85% respectively. Nurses between the age 30 until to 39 years old were 34.4% of participants. Nurses of different gender, education level, and place of birth showed statistically significant difference. Only 23.5 % of nurses had pain training and education, and less than half of nurses (43.7%) had 5-10 years in oncology hospital. In this study, knowledge and practice of nurse’s participant on non-and pharmacological pain management were more than 55%. Related to the pain assessment 36.1% were based on the information provided by the patients, while 31.1% of nurses had used the visual analogue scale for pain assessment. According to the ways of pain management, almost 76.5% of nurses think that the best ways of pain management were pharmacology and 71.4% selected opioid analgesic medication while 28.6% selected non-opioid analgesic medication. Contacting the physician for the prescription of opioids was cited as the main delaying process by 43.7% of participants. Conclusions: The results of the study demonstrated that the nurses had limited knowledge of pain management, because of non-training courses for consequence all of it was associated with poor attitude toward pain management. Most of them did not have formal training in pain management either at the local level. Many of them are familiar with oral route of administration of opioids but still the logistics of administration is not clear to them. Nowadays training and education in pain management is a necessity for medical staff especially for nurses because the adequate knowledge is vital in the provision of quality pain management to patients.
