“…With respect to year of experience, less than five years of service was significantly associated with Nurse to patient communication skill. Those with less than five years of working experience were 2.77 [AOR = 2.70 (95% CI = 1.28, 5.99)] times more likely to be ineffective on communication than those who had more than ten years of working experiences, which was similar to the study done in Saudia Arabia (26). The possible reason for this might be frequently practicing or communicating with client for long period can predispose nurses to perform their duties effectively.…”

A simple random sampling technique was used to select 684 respondents. Data was collected using pretested and self-administered questionnaire. Collected data was entered into Epi Info version 7.1.2.0 and exported to SPSS version 25.0 for analysis. Bivariate analysis was used primarily and variables with p-value ≤ 0.2 were further examined using multivariable logistic regression model to control con-founders. Then, variables having p-value less than 0.05 with 95% CI were used to determine associated factors. Results: - Out of 678 study participants, 403 (61.4%) of them had effective communication skills with 96.8 % of the response rate. Less than 5 years of working experience [AOR=2.77; 95% CI: (1.28, 5.99)], workload [AOR=1.52; 95% CI: (1.09, 2.12)], and poor evidence-based utilization [AOR=2.00; 95% CI: (1.40, 2.85)] were associated with the nurse’s effective communication skill to patients. Conclusions: More than half of the participants were had effective communication skills.

“…Part of the issue here also is that expatriate nurses have limited knowledge regarding Saudi Arabia cultural beliefs, specifically related to healthcare, and needs rectifying [ 32 ]. Despite these cultural and language difficulties, Saudi patients report a preference to be cared for by expatriate nurses because of their distrust of Saudi nurses and better care provided by expatriate nurses [ 15 , 34 ].In contrast, expatriate nurses have reported a lack of respect from Saudi patients as well as from other expatriate nurses [ 32 ].…”

“…Furthermore, this can be a stressful experience with expatriate nurses leaving their families, the culture shock of being in a Muslim country which entails strict adherence to orthodox tenets and traditions, the physical constraints of a hot climate (for example, dehydration, headaches, and exhaustion), and communication barriers [ 6 , 24 , 34 ]. Many expatriate nurses are dissatisfied with the living conditions generally.…”

There is a paucity of recent literature identifying the issues facing the nursing profession in Saudi Arabia. The aim of this integrative review is to highlight the ongoing challenges facing the nursing profession in Saudi Arabia despite attempts to make a difference and suggests recommendations for the future. Literature published from 2000 to 2020, inclusive, relevant for nursing challenges in Saudi Arabia was accessed and reviewed from multiple sources. In Saudi Arabia, inadequate numbers of Saudi nurses have prompted an increase in recruitment of expatriate nurses. This has created its own issues including, retention, lack of competency in English and Arabic, as well as Arabic cultural aspects, insufficient experience, and a high workload. The result is job dissatisfaction and increased attrition as these nurses prefer to move to more developed countries. For national nurses, the issues are the need to recruit more and retain these nurses. There are a range of cultural factors that contribute to these issues with national nurses. There is a need to improve the image of nursing to recruit more Saudi nurses as well as addressing issues in education and work environment. For expatriate nurses there is a need for a better recruitment processes, a thorough program of education to improve knowledge and skills to equip them to work and stay in Saudi. There is also a need for organizational changes to be made to increase the job satisfaction and retention of nurses generally. Healthcare in Saudi Arabia also needs leaders to efficiently manage the various issues associated with the nursing workforce challenges.
