Study Information

Dear Respondents,

We are conducting a study assessing the self-efficacy and well-being at work of nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. The protocol of the study was reviewed and approved by the Research Ethics Standing Committee at Shaqra University (No.: ERC_SU_2021022). We are inviting you to participate in the study by answering this questionnaire. You are qualified to participate in the study if you are a registered nurse in Saudi Arabia and currently working as a nurse in either private or public hospitals in the country.

The findings of the study will help us identify different problems in your well-being at work during this pandemic and utilize these findings in formulating a proposed multi-faceted well-being program for nurses during public health crises. Your participation will greatly help us achieve the objective of this study.
