Title

The lived experience of foreign-trained registered nurses working within an Emergency and Trauma Centre in Saudi Arabia

Abstract

Background: The incidence of traumatic conditions in Saudi Arabia is one of the highest in the world. The recent years have witnessed additional attention to upgrading the conventional trauma care system into an advanced trauma system. The nursing workforce in Saudi Arabia is one of the most diverse work cultures in the world, which makes it unique to understand the experiences of these nurses. The extraordinary work environment in Saudi Arabia creates a phenomena for research. Methods: The study will employ a descriptive phenomenological approach to answer the research question and achieve the aims. Phenomenology contributes to health research by using every day and lived experiences as an origin for stating and understanding the meanings of participants’ experiences.

Consolidating phenomenological research approaches into nursing research builds possibilities to see from the experiences of others. The study will gather insight and build common themes about foreign-trained nurses' experiences in moving to Saudi Arabia and providing trauma care in a major trauma hub. Unstructured interviews will be used to enhance participants’ role in providing a detailed and comprehensive description of their experiences as trauma care nurses through real-life examples and stories from their own experience.
