A program evaluation is a systematic method for collecting, analyzing, and using information to answer questions about projects, policies and programs, particularly about their effectiveness and efficiency. The goal is to improve programs. A program evaluation is a part of all training programs. A Charge Nurse Training Program was conducted in the NICU of Security Forces Hospital as it was evident that the charge nurse role needed to be supported better with clear expectations and a standardized professional development training. The sample for the study was forty-two registered nurses who underwent the adapted evidence-based ADDIE model training program. The simple random sampling technique was used to select the sample. Only registered nurse 1’s were included in the study and exclusion criteria were those registered nurse 1’s who had less than one year of experience in NICU. Structured teaching modules and practical sections were conducted for all the sample. Data was collected using a pre-test followed by a post-test of each module to assess the knowledge level of the samples, a Likert scale to assess the confidence level, an observation (practice) checklist to assess the skills level and a final evaluation through surveys to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. The program evaluation showed that, the adapted ADDIE model of a Charge Nurse Training Program was effective and that it boosted staff confidence, created a healthy working environment and increased the knowledge, skills of the nursing staff in order for them to perform their core responsibilities.

Medication errors are a significant cause of adverse events, with knowledge, attitudes, and behavior (KAB) being key factors. Nurses play a crucial role in the medication administration process and should be proactive in preventing medication errors. This article is based on the author's dissertation research on the influence of nurses' knowledge, attitude, and behavior toward medication errors on medication errors reported. In this article, the author focuses on the comparison of the mean ranks of KAB scores towards medication errors in relation to nurses' socio-demographic and professional characteristics. The researchers utilized a descriptive correlational design with a cross-sectional survey to examine the relationship between variables. Knowledge scores towards medication errors in relation to nurses' socio-demographic and professional characteristics show that there is no significant difference found in the mean ranks of knowledge scores across any of these characteristics. However, both attitude and behavior scores towards medication errors were significantly higher among female nurses, non-Saudi nurses, nurses with education in intravenous drug administration, and nurses of more than 40 years of age in attitude score. Knowledge influences attitude, as nurses who have a deep understanding of the subject matter are more likely to have positive attitudes towards their patients, their colleagues, and their work. Attitude, on the other hand, influences behavior. It is understood that nurses who have positive attitudes are more likely to behave in a professional and ethical manner.

Background: The contamination of patient files is a serious problem that can have a negative impact on the health of patients and staff. Bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites can all contaminate medical files, which can lead to nosocomial infections. Methods: This study reviewed the literature on the contamination of patient files in hospitals. The study identified a number of factors that can contribute to contamination, including the handling of medical files by healthcare workers who are not properly washing their hands, the placement of medical files in areas where there is a lot of traffic, and the condition of medical files. Results: The study found that the contamination of medical files is associated with a number of risks, including the risk of nosocomial infections, the risk of cross-contamination between patients, and the risk of damage to medical records. Conclusion: The study concludes that it is important to take steps to prevent the contamination of medical files. These steps include educating healthcare workers on the importance of proper handwashing, developing and implementing policies and procedures for the handling of medical files, regularly inspecting medical files for signs of contamination, cleaning and disinfecting medical files that are contaminated, and using EHRs instead of paper records.

Nursing leaders play a critical role in guiding and directing nursing staff to guarantee high-quality healthcare delivery. The impact of nursing leadership on patient outcomes, quality of care, patient safety, collaboration with other healthcare professionals, and professional growth and mentoring is critically examined in this manuscript. The analysis highlights that nursing leadership had a significant impact on patient outcomes by encouraging evidence-based practices and increasing nursing staff engagement and job satisfaction. Furthermore, nursing leaders that prioritize patient satisfaction and hospital readmissions. Nursing leaders develop a culture of safety, enforce adherence to safety regulations, and support continual progress in terms of patient safety. Collaboration with other healthcare professionals is essential for nursing leaders to improve healthcare delivery, care coordination, and patient outcomes. Nursing leaders are also responsible for offering professional development opportunities and mentoring to nursing personnel, which improves staff engagement and retention. Regardless of the beneficial impact, nursing leaders confront problems such as insufficient personnel, restricted resources, and insufficient support from organizational leaders. It is the role of the leadership to mitigate risks and opportunities for safe patient care.
