 Abstract:

Nursing services cuts across all the various departments of medicine and emergency room (ER) nurses are one of the many nursing specialties that offer immeasurable care in health care delivery. The quality of care offered by nurses in the ER is a concern and a study of the transpersonal care offered by ER nurses in Saudi Arabia was investigated in terms of competency, feasibility, importance, frequency, and satisfaction of ER nurses in Saudi Arabia. A total of 1,050 male and female Saudi ER nurses from government and private hospitals in Saudi Arabia were evaluated using Caring Nurse-Patient Interaction Scale (CNPI-70). The mean age was 44.97 years, and the average years in service was 16.38. Most of the ER nurses were female, married and completed an undergraduate degree. It was concluded that Saudi ER nurses possessed good transpersonal caring competency which plays a significant role in the nurse-patient interaction. Further emphasis on improving ER nurses’ transpersonal skills anchored on Watson’s theory is recommended to be integrated on staff development programs to provide quality nursing service to patients and their family members in the ER settings of Saudi Arabia.
