Description
Monirah Albloushi and her two co-authors, publishing in 2025, study how a Saudi training program called Excellence in Care builds leadership in nurses who work in outpatient clinics. The program mixes workshops, practice simulations, small improvement projects, and mentoring, but how the lessons survive the move into daily work was not well understood. The team interviewed 24 nurses and nurse leaders at university-linked clinics in depth.
Four themes emerged. Graduates led in small, steady ways, quick huddles, clear role calls, and double-checked handovers that kept clinics flowing. Coaching close at hand and short practice bursts helped skills stick despite heavy workloads. Shared scripts made it safer to speak up across rank and professional lines, though gender and culture still shaped who felt able. Finally, dashboards, recognition, and peer groups kept the habits alive. The authors advise building these supports into the program itself.
