This study tiled “Fostering a Culture of Well-being and Civility: Pathways to Enhance Staff Retention and Improved Patient Outcomes in Nursing” aimed to explore how well-being and civility initiatives influence nurse engagement, retention, and patient outcomes within the Executive Nursing Affairs of Prince Sultan Military Medical City (PSMMC)-Ministry of Defense (MSD). Using a mixed methods descriptive correlational design, the study employed the Nursing Retention & Recognition Committee (NRCC) bilingual (Englisg-Arabic) questionaire as the main research intrument to measure nurses’ perceptions of workplace well-being, civility, engagement, and retention. Institutional data from the Nursing Retention & Recognition Committee (NRCC) covering 2022 to 2025 were also analyzed to validat the results and strengthen the interpretation. The findings revealed that PSMMC demosntates a strong commitment to fostering well-being and civility through effective recognition programs, empowerment opportunities, and initiatives promotion mutual respect. The extent of implementation of these initiatives was rated high (Mean=4.05), reflecting strong organizational support and leadership engagement. Nurse engagement and satisfaction were also moderately high (Mean=3.95), largely influenced by teamwork, morale, and professional fulfillment. Pearson’s correlation analysis showed a strong positive relationship (r = 0.74, p 0.05) between well-being and civility initiatives and staff retention. Regression analysis futher inidcated that improved well-being and civility significantly enhance patience outcomes (=0.62, p 0.05), particularly in quality of care and satisfaction. The results affirm PSMMC’s leadership excellence in nurturing a professional, respectful, and supportive nursing environment. Continuous evaluation, mentorship for newly hired nurses, and sustained recognition initiatives are recommended to strenghthen engagement and retention. Ultimately, the study emphasizes that cultivating a culture of well-being and civility is vital for promoting workforce stability and achieving excellence in patient care.
This study explores the influence of Bank Al-Maghrib's interventions on exchange rate behavior in Morocco from 1990 to 2024. With an ARDL model integrating key macroeconomic factors (inflation, interbank rate, liquidity, and foreign reserves), the research goal is to observe the short- and long-run relationships between monetary policy and the dirham's appreciation. Apparently, the results reveal the presence of a long-run correlation of the studied variables, meaning that the exchange rate demonstrates a sustained-in-time response to monetary fundamentals. Notably, the money supply and foreign exchange reserves appear as the most influential determinants, thereby confirming the supremacy of interventions and withdrawal in foreign exchange markets. The analysis also shows there exists a major impact of the interest rate, which exemplifies the role of the financial channel in the Moroccan setting. The findings also establish that there is a quick adjustment of the exchange rate to its long-term equilibrium, and a strong structural stability of the model. Thus, the study enhances the knowledge about Morocco's exchange rate policy and stresses the importance of policy coordination among reserve management, monetary discipline, and specific central bank operations to boost the dirham's stability during the transitional economy times.

The review paper explains the effects of data-driven transformation in healthcare on access to care and efficiency in the southwest part of Saudi Arabia, with focus on Jazan. Within the ambit of Saudi Vision 2030, several steps have been taken by the Kingdom to adopt digital health technologies that will help close the urban-rural healthcare gap. Utilization of telemedicine, mobile health applications, and AI-enabled diagnostics continues shaping much-needed changes in health delivery mechanisms in resource-poor areas by enhancing access to medical services for previously underprivileged rural populations alienated by geographical barriers, long travel distances to health facilities, unaffordable costs, and inadequate availability of both health facilities and personnel. Across the southwest of Saudi Arabia, where terrain and infrastructural challenges have historically obstructed access to healthcare, digital health initiatives like Seha Virtual Hospital (SVH), and Sehhaty App now play a crucial role in availing remote consultations, the management of chronic diseases, and delivery of care. The integration of electronic health records (EHR) and, in turn, AI tools will boost the efficiency of healthcare services through real-time data sharing, better allocation of resources, and lesser diagnostic errors. Yet, several challenges remain, including issues of internet connection in the rural space, digital literacy, preparedness of the workforce, and regulatory frameworks for telemedicine. These barriers need to be dealt with for the sustainable and equitable rollout of digital health solutions. This review elaborates on how data-driven transformation of healthcare could precipitate a favourable outcome in the health of the southwest region while laying down the challenges to be surmounted for this progress to continue with success. By and large, the data-driven health transformation in southwest Saudi Arabia presents a potential model for addressing disparities between urban and rural health, resulting in more efficient, accessible, and patient-centred care.

In the modern world, information security plays a key role in protecting data, financial transactions and personal information from cyber threats. Every year, the number and complexity of cyber-attacks grow, which requires information security specialists not only to have deep knowledge, but also to be able to quickly adapt to new challenges. Globalization leads to an expansion of the scale of interaction and data exchange, which, on the one hand, contributes to the development of technology and the economy, and on the other hand, creates new risks and threats. In the context of globalization, it is especially important to prepare students for future professional activities in the field of information security, providing them with relevant knowledge and skills. Educational institutions are faced with the task of developing and implementing effective training programmers that allow students to master advanced technologies and methods of information protection. An important aspect is the integration of innovative approaches into the educational process, such as the use of virtual reality, simulations, project-based learning and cooperation with industry. This article aims to study modern challenges in the field of information security, analyze existing programmers for training specialists and suggestions for their improvement. New methods and approaches to training, development and implementation of educational standards, as well as examples of successful integration of innovative technologies into educational programmers will be considered. The purpose of the article is to suggest ways to improve the training of students in the field of information security so that they can effectively counter cyber threats in the context of globalization

Introduction: Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common condition among women, significantly impacting their quality of life across psychological, social, and physical dimensions. Despite its prevalence, UI often goes untreated due to social stigma and limited awareness of available management strategies, including physiotherapy. This study aimed to evaluate the awareness levels among pregnant women regarding UI and the role of physiotherapy in its prevention and management, with a focus on populations in Sudan and Egypt. Methods: A quantitative, cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with 75 pregnant women in Sudan and Egypt aged 15–49 years, selected using simple random sampling. Participants completed structured questionnaires covering demographic data, obstetric history, and knowledge about UI and physiotherapy. Data were analyzed manually using descriptive statistics. All necessary ethical approvals were obtained. Results: Findings showed that 56% of participants were aware of UI, however, only 5% had consulted a physiotherapist as noted by Parlas and Bilgic (2024), higher levels of UI knowledge are positively associated with attitudes toward management and help seeking, indicating that structured, evidence-based health education especially during antenatal care can bridge the gap between awareness and action. Conclusion: The study highlights a significant gap in awareness of physiotherapy as a preventive tool for UI among pregnant women. These results emphasize the need for targeted educational interventions and the integration of physiotherapy education into antenatal care programs.

The study aimed to evaluate donor deferrals among individuals presenting for whole blood or platelet apheresis donation at King Abdullah Medical City in Makkah, Blood Bank Department, and to classify deferrals by screening stage. Category 1 deferrals included interview-based reasons such as recent travel to malaria-endemic areas, current medication use, or behavioral risk disclosures. Category 2 deferrals included clinical assessment findings such as low hemoglobin, abnormal blood pressure, and high body temperature. The study also evaluated the theoretical potential of telemedicine to reduce Category 1 deferrals through pre-donation screening. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at the Blood Bank Department of King Abdullah Medical City in Makkah between January 2023 and December 2024. From 3,029 recorded deferrals, a systematic random sample of 385 deferred donors was selected for analysis. Each deferral was classified according to the screening stage. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests were used. A total of 385 deferred donors were analyzed. Of these, 260 (67.5%) were classified as Category 2 and 125 (32.5%) as Category 1. Gender was significantly associated with deferral category (χ²(1, N = 385) = 6.128, p = 0.013). Category 1 deferrals were more frequent among male donors (35.2%) than female donors (18.0%). Interview-based factors accounted for 32.5% of deferrals and could be identified in advance through structured remote screening methods such as tele-interviews, reducing the likelihood of unnecessary on-site visits. The study examined the theoretical role of telemedicine as a pre-donation triage tool, emphasizing its potential to decrease avoidable deferrals and strengthen donor retention through targeted early interventions.
