“…If those nurses aren't retrained via bridging programs, the deficit of Saudi nurses will sincerely grow, requiring a discount inside the staff or greater overseas hires. In relation to diploma and bachelor's degree attainment, the availability of various types of subspecialty nurses like those who specialize in areas like wound care, hematology, pain management, palliative care, and home healthcare exist in the Kingdom as stated in the study done by Aljohani (2020). And while it is true that Saudi nurses can obtain professional certification through a diploma or 2-year SCFHS certification courses offered at the training centers of many hospitals, these programs are not officially recognized by a university.…”

This study aims to determine the profile of the Saudi male nursing workforce that influences tenure in their job and their intentions in staying on the job or leaving their job. This research used the quantitative-comparative approach employing 361 nurses as participants from the three major government hospitals namely, King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center, King Abdulaziz Medical City, and King Fahad Medical Center in Riyadh city, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Results showed that nurses in the workforce perceived the lack of promotion opportunities as the main reason for leaving the nursing profession (3.92±.952) and the reason for becoming a nurse wanted to help others cope with illness (4.68). There is a significant difference found in age to reasons (F=11.51; p<001) opinion of becoming a nurse (F=6.73; p<001), highest qualification on their reasons for leaving the nursing profession (F=11.8; p<.001) but not on the opinion of nurses (F=.690; p>.502). Moreover, the years of experience of the nurses were found significant to reasons (F=5.085; p<.002) and opinion (F=4.89; p<.002). Regarding the position held, there found significant differences in reasons for leaving (F=9.05; p<.001) and their opinion about becoming a nurse (F=11.81; p<.001). Concerning marital status there found significant differences in their reasons for leaving the nursing profession (t=5.779; p>.290) and their opinion (t=1.39; p>.573). Meanwhile, the number of dependents found no significant difference in their reasons (t=2.248; p>0.38) and opinion (t=.820; p>.366). Continuous skill development and career progression opportunities for male nurses contribute to job satisfaction and, as a result, it will be the key to gaining greater autonomy for Saudi Arabia's nurses.

“…However, these diplomas are considered nursing specialty diplomas (not equivalent to master's degree) and do not meet the definition and requirements for APN roles in terms of admission requirements, credit hours, and the plan of study, identified by the ICN (2020) and APN leading organizations. However, Aljohani (2020b) reported that those graduates of these diplomas faced several challenges including role ambiguity and vague career paths. Furthermore, role ambiguity may hinder the progression of nursing roles, the utilization of nursing skills to their full potential, resource allocation, and health policymaking.…”

AimsTo identify the roles and activities of nurses, including advanced practice nursing (APN), and to determine nursing practice patterns across health facilities in Saudi Arabia.MethodsA descriptive cross‐sectional design was used to collect data from 207 nurses working in the Saudi health sector between November 2021 and March 2022 through an online questionnaire. The Advanced Practice Role Delineation tool was used to measure and delineate nursing practice patterns and activities. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and analysis of variance. The study followed the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology reporting guidelines.ResultsFindings showed that participants, regardless of their current role, reported high scores across all domains of practice. The highest average score was obtained for the Clinical Care domain. Except for the leadership domain, findings showed that those reported working as advanced practice nurses had higher average scores across all domains than those working as staff nurses or being in managerial/administrative positions. There were significant differences in the average Clinical Care scores between advanced practice nurses and staff nurses.ConclusionAdvanced practice nursing roles and activities are being practised in Saudi Arabia; however, there is no clear delineation of these roles and activities according to a unified and national‐level APN scope of practice.ImpactsAdvanced practice nursing roles are evolving in Saudi Arabia; however, no study has examined the existing patterns of APN activities in Saudi Arabia. This study highlights the practice patterns of advanced practice nurses and adds to the international evidence base on the need for delineating APN activities under a unified scope of practice. The findings of this study are beneficial to practitioners, researchers, and stakeholders as well as the legislative and regulatory bodies.Patient or public contributionNo patient or public contribution.
