Abstract/Description
Stroke is a major health problem in Saudi Arabia that impacts the health outcomes of adults and elderly persons. No matter its severity, stroke is a stressful life event not only for the survivors but their family caregivers as well. Uncertainty is one of the major problems facing family caregivers caring for persons with a stroke. Uncertainty affects overall health outcomes and the quality of life of family caregivers caring for persons with strokes. Current research has not yet identified...
Show moreStroke is a major health problem in Saudi Arabia that impacts the health outcomes of adults and elderly persons. No matter its severity, stroke is a stressful life event not only for the survivors but their family caregivers as well. Uncertainty is one of the major problems facing family caregivers caring for persons with a stroke. Uncertainty affects overall health outcomes and the quality of life of family caregivers caring for persons with strokes. Current research has not yet identified the meaning of the uncertainty of family caregivers of persons with strokes during hospitalization in Saudi Arabia. The purpose of this study was to gain an in-depth understanding of the meaning of uncertainty experienced by family caregivers of persons in the hospital who have survived strokes. This study used a phenomenological design. Data were collected through in-depth face-to-face and online semi-structured interviews with 15 family caregivers using openended questions. Participants were recruited from inpatient medical units and stroke care units in multi acute care hospitals in Saudi Arabia. The interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, translated, and analyzed using the hermeneutic phenomenological unitary caring research method. NVivo software (Version 12) was used to manage the qualitative data.

Show moreThe purpose was to study the results Professional Certified Nurse Coaches (PCNCs) potentially have in mutually patterning the human energy field toward a higher wave frequency pattern of power as measured by the power as knowing participation in change tool and reflected in the narrative pattern profiles obtained from in-depth interviews. Participants were nurses working during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using Barrett’s (1986, 2020) power as knowing participation in change theory an explanatory convergent parallel mixed method using a single group with repeated measures (pre/post) and qualitative directed content analysis was used. A method for apprehending pandimensional awareness of unity and a mutual rhythmic-frequency process of-analysis-synthesis and were developed for the synthesis of numeric and textual data within a unitary perspective. Findings included a statistically significant effect for the total and four interrelated dimensions with a large effect size, except for the dimension involvement, which had a medium effect size. The results were the same when controlling for years of experience indicating that regardless of years of experience, professional nurse coaching appears to be beneficial. Six essences were identified and articulated as a group, as individuals, and across time. Joint displays show the synthesis. These findings have implications for nursing research, caring sciences, nursing education, nursing practice, policy, and professional nurse coaching.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STIGMA AND LEVEL OF ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE KNOWLEDGE WITHIN THE SAUDI CULTURE.

Abstract/Description
There are two types of stigmas: self-stigma and public stigma. The focus of this dissertation was public stigma. The public stigma encountered by persons with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) contributes to the isolation of families due to the effort made by AD caregivers to adjust to social challenges (Abojabel & Warner, 2019). According to the Saudi Alzheimer’s Disease Association (2022), there are 130 thousand documented cases of AD, which comprised 9% of the aged population. The severity of...
Show moreThere are two types of stigmas: self-stigma and public stigma. The focus of this dissertation was public stigma. The public stigma encountered by persons with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) contributes to the isolation of families due to the effort made by AD caregivers to adjust to social challenges (Abojabel & Warner, 2019). According to the Saudi Alzheimer’s Disease Association (2022), there are 130 thousand documented cases of AD, which comprised 9% of the aged population. The severity of stigmas can vary across cultures because stigmas of disease are connected to cultural norms (Corrigan, 2014). Most studies conducted in Saudi Arabia have assessed public stigma regarding mental illnesses, but no study has been found regarding public stigma within the AD scope. Population-based approaches that attempt to clarify stigma level prevalence in representative samples are important to develop methods to address these disparities and ensure equitable access to health care within the population's cultural context. The aim of this study was to 1) identify the relationship between public stigma and the level of AD knowledge among the Saudi population and 2) identify the potential factors that were associated with public stigma and AD knowledge levels among Saudi community members, within the context of a caring science perspective using critical caring theory and specific-situation theory.
