Aim: To systematically review and comprehensively analyse findings of studies reporting oncology nurses' compassion satisfaction (CS), burnout (BO) and secondary traumatic stress (STS), measured by the professional quality of life (ProQOL) scale, and explore CS and CF related factors.Design: Systematic review and meta‐analysis of cross‐sectional and interventional studies.Method: Electronic databases were searched using keywords, and the review followed PRISMA guidelines. The prevalence of CS, BO and STS and their instrumental ratings were pooled using random effects meta‐analyses. Meta‐regression studies explored the effects of variables.Results: Fifteen studies (sample size 2,509) were reviewed, and nine were in the meta‐analysis. The prevalence of CS, BO, and STS were 22.89%, 62.79% and 66.84%, respectively. No substantial correlation was found for independent variables, possibly due to sample size. There was a weak negative correlation between CS and BO [−0.06(0.90)] and a weak positive correlation between CS and STS [0.20(0.70)].

Cervical cancer (CC) ranks as the eighth most prevalent malignancy in Saudi Arabian women of all ages. This cross-sectional study intends to assess women’s knowledge, perceptions, and acceptance concerning HPV vaccination and CC screening in Saudi Arabia as well as the contributing variables to women’s screening and vaccine acceptability. Data were collected between 1 April 2023 and 30 May 2023 through online questionnaires. Out of 421 responses, 70% of the studied sample had fair knowledge, and 30% had good knowledge related to cervical cancer screening and vaccine. Only 1.9% of the participants had a positive perception, while 41% of the participants had a negative perception toward cervical cancer screening and vaccine. A total of 38% of the participants were fearful of the side effects of the vaccine, while 22.2% doubted the effectiveness of the vaccine. Acceptance was much better correlated with perception (Rho = 0.47) than with knowledge (Rho = 0.177). However, this correlation remains weak. We conclude that Saudi women still have a poor understanding or impression of cervical cancer and prevention methods. Fear of the vaccination’s negative effects and skepticism about the effectiveness of the vaccine/screening have recently been the most often-mentioned hurdles to vaccine uptake.

Background: The nursing profession in Saudi Arabia requires attention and support. Assessing Saudi nurses’ professional quality of life (ProQOL) is crucial for their future nursing careers and the future of Saudi health care. Aim: To investigate the level of ProQOL among nurses in Saudi Arabia and its association with personal and professional sociodemographic variables. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on a sample of 334 Saudi nurses working in three hospitals and multiple primary health centers. Descriptive analysis, Mann–Whitney U and Kruskal–Wallis tests were used to determine the significant association between sample sociodemographic variables and levels of ProQOL. Results: A significant difference between compassion satisfaction (CS) and nurses’ age (p-value = 0.008) and years of experience (p-value = 0.012) was confirmed. The job location (p-value < 0.001), nurses’ department (p-value = 0.003), and age (p-value = 0.012) revealed a significant difference with burnout (BO). Secondary traumatic stress (STS) showed a significant difference with the job location (p-value < 0.001) and nurses’ department (p-value = 0.008). Overall, Saudi nurses exhibit high levels of CS and moderate levels of BO and STS. Conclusion: The level of CS was considered good for Saudi nursing professionals; however, the levels of BO and STS require further attention. Enhancing factors related to CS and solving issues related to compassion fatigue (CF) would improve the nursing profession in Saudi Arabia.

Background: COVID-19 has impacted many aspects of peoples’ quality of life (QOL). Aim: To assess the QOL of post-COVID-19 cases and determine their associated sociodemographic attributes. Methods: A cross-sectional community-based study targeted recovered COVID-19 cases using an online questionnaire. An Arabic version of the Quality of Life Index (QLI) was evaluated for reliability and validity using Cronbach’s alpha and Spearman’s product moment tests, respectively. Descriptive analysis, Mann–Whitney U, Kruskal–Wallis H, and Spearman correlation tests were used to investigate the relationships between QOL and study independent variables, including sociodemographic characteristics, time since infection, intention for vaccination, perception of the influence of COVID-19 on general health, history of hospitalization, and history of chronic illness. Subgroups were compared using a Student’s t-test for normally distributed data and the Wilcoxon rank-sum test or the Kruskal–Wallis test for non-normally distributed data. Results: In a sample of 449 respondents, the total QLI score was 22.64 ± 4.36; for subscales, it ranged from 20.86 ± 5.04 to 24.99 ± 4.74. Males had significantly higher health and functioning subscale (HFSUB) scores compared to females (p = 0.033). Employed cases had significantly higher social and economic subscale (SOCSUB) scores than unemployed cases (p = 0.000). Married people reported significantly higher family subscale (FAMSUB) scores (p = 0.000) than unmarried people. People who believe that their general health was affected by COVID-19 had significantly lower HFSUB and psychological and spiritual subscale (PSPSUB) scores (p = 0.000 and p = 0.021, respectively). Individuals with a history of hospital admissions scored lower on PSPSUB (p = 0.000). Age was significantly associated with both SOCSUB (p = 0.006) and FAMSUB (p = 0.040). Conclusion: Sociodemographic attributes of people with a history of COVID-19 revealed significant differences in some QOL domains, as measured by the Arabic version of the generic QLI. History of hospitalization and beliefs about COVID-19’s impact on general health negatively influenced individual’s HFSUB and PSPSUB.

Objectives: This cross‐sectional study aimed to assess the quality of life (QOL) and chronic disease prevalence among 265 individuals over the age of 60.Methods: Utilizing the quality‐of‐life index (QLI), data were collected through an online questionnaire from eligible participants, not mentally disabled.Results: Significant variations in chronic conditions were found based on marital status, education, employment, and daily activities. QOL declined with age, divorce, unemployment, and dependency on caregivers but improved with a university degree. Living with family positively impacted overall QOL, while older age, unemployment, dependency, hypertension, and kidney disease were associated with lower QOL scores across various domains.Conclusion: Sociodemographic factors and chronic conditions had pivotal role in shaping the QOL for individuals over the age of 60, emphasizing the importance of targeted interventions for improved well‐being in this population.

Background: Gen Z will comprise a significant portion of the nursing workforce over the next decade and beyond. The workplace expectations of Gen Z nurses may not align with the realities of nursing environments, which can ultimately impact their ability to engage and thrive in their roles. Therefore, it is essential to understand this generation to help healthcare systems better prepare to engage and retain them. This study aims to explore the workplace expectations and preferences of Gen Z nurses born between 1997 and 2005. Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed. A survey was developed to identify the core aspects of Gen Z nurses’ workplace expectations. Due to the exploratory nature of the study and the absence of predefined hypotheses, it was essential to assess the factorial validity of the adapted instrument. Therefore, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted to uncover the latent structure of the 45-item scale, providing data-driven insights into how Gen Z nurses conceptualize workplace expectations. The items were drawn from two validated sources: (1) the Work Value and Attitude Scale and (2) the Healthcare Career Choice Scale. Results: EFA revealed six key factors that influence professional priorities: (1) Supportive, stable, and growth-oriented workplace, (2) Collaborative practice and teamwork, (3) Bureaucratic resistance and tech critique, (4) Age-based disrespect in the workplace, and (5) Logistical convenience and job perks, and (6) Professional identity and career growth. Together, these factors accounted for 62.21% of the total variance, demonstrating excellent internal consistency with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.83 for the entire instrument, while subscale alphas ranged from 0.91to 0.72. The results reflect the multifaceted nature of nurses’ workplace experiences, including environmental support, interprofessional collaboration, career aspirations, resistance to structural barriers, and generational challenges. Conclusions: This research has the potential to significantly inform policymakers on how to improve job satisfaction and professional development for Gen Z nurses. Clinical trial number: Not applicable.
