In this study, we focus on the case of avatar design as a user interface element for facilitating positive user experience. Building on the theoretical lenses of social response theory and the “Computers Are Social Actors” paradigm, we develop a research model to investigate how cultural appropriateness of avatar design is a vital driver for users’ trust. We evaluate our research model by means of an online experiment (n=313) in the context of online health advice for users from Saudi Arabia. The avatars differed in appearance (Arab, non-Arab), gender (male, female), and clothing (athletic, medical, everyday). Our results show that Arab avatars exhibited significantly higher cultural appropriateness than non-Arab avatars. Further, participants were more inclined to select an Arab avatar (88.2%) that matched their gender (77.3%). Confirming the critical role of cultural appropriateness, our study demonstrates the importance of carefully considering the target audience in designing user interfaces.]]> Wed 31 May 2023 14:07:41 AEST ]]> The Impact of Internet Experience and Attitude on Student Preference for Blended Learning https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43753 Wed 28 Sep 2022 13:38:55 AEST ]]> Barriers to nurse-patient communication in Saudi Arabia: An integrative review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45282 Wed 26 Oct 2022 20:12:03 AEDT ]]> An Integrative Review of the Acceptance of Wearable Health Technologies by Saudi Arabian Elderly Persons https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50472 Wed 26 Jul 2023 15:41:29 AEST ]]> A brief history of English and English teaching in Saudi Arabia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42728 Wed 13 Mar 2024 09:39:35 AEDT ]]> Introduction https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44409 Wed 12 Oct 2022 15:11:42 AEDT ]]> Learning English in Saudi Arabia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44404 Wed 12 Oct 2022 14:43:37 AEDT ]]> Intrinsic motivation in Saudi learners of English as a foreign language https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:8007 Wed 11 Apr 2018 17:13:05 AEST ]]> The application of communicative language teaching approach within english as foreign language context: Saudi Arabia private education case study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30438 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:37:20 AEST ]]> Corporate governance and firm performance in Saudi Arabia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30040 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:10:39 AEST ]]> Does corporate governance affect financial performance in the banking sector?

Significance and Aim: The study explores the levels of fatigue and its associated factors among emergency department (ED) nurses in Saudi Arabia. Methods: The study was developed through a cross-sectional quantitative study design. This included the collection of primary quantitative data with a questionnaire prepared and published on REDCap. The study questionnaire was adapted from two tools, namely the OFER 15 and the Copenhagen II tools, respectively. Results: The study established that the Saudi Arabian ED nurses have high acute fatigue (OFER 15 score = 81.11), moderate-high chronic fatigue (OFER 15 score = 74.17), and a high inter-shift recovery index (OFER 15 score = 78.01). In terms of the predictor factors, the study established that for the demographic factors, gender has an impact on chronic and acute fatigue, while work experience impacted acute fatigue and the number of dependents impacted on inter-shift recovery index. On the psycho-social factors, chronic fatigue is influenced by emotional demand (which is a variable used to evaluate the levels to which the nurse is invested, gaining education/skills thus increases job satisfaction) (−0.289), influence at work (−0.310), commitment at the workplace (0.376), rewards (−0.187), stress (0.420), and burnout (0.293), respectively. Acute fatigue is influenced by the emotional demands (0.336), role clarity (−0.128), and the nurses’ well-being and health (−0.034). Finally, the inter-shift recovery index is influenced by the ED nurses’ burnout levels (−0.877). Conclusions: The study indicates a high level of nursing fatigue among the Saudi Arabian ED nurses.]]> Thu 27 Oct 2022 17:01:52 AEDT ]]> Staff and student experiences and attitudes towards smoking and smoking cessation, University of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39641 Thu 16 Jun 2022 14:27:07 AEST ]]> An investigation of challenges and opportunities in application of constructivism to primary school English language teaching in Saudi Arabia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55554 Thu 06 Jun 2024 11:44:57 AEST ]]> iPads for cognitive skills in EFL primary classrooms: a case study in Saudi Arabia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39275 Thu 02 Jun 2022 14:51:25 AEST ]]> The future of EFL and TESOL in Saudi Arabia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42751 Thu 01 Sep 2022 14:21:26 AEST ]]> Pain assessment and management in infants and children: A mixed methods study of the knowledge and attitudes of nurses working in Saudi Arabia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36428 Sun 03 May 2020 16:45:17 AEST ]]> Families' needs of critical care Muslim patients in Saudi Arabia: a quantitative study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20944 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:06:06 AEDT ]]> Factors that affect corporate governance practices in Saudi Arabian listed banks https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19765 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:54:24 AEDT ]]> Attitudes of healthcare providers towards family involvement and presence in adult critical care units in Saudi Arabia: a quantitative study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21340 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:50 AEDT ]]> Why does international condemnation on human rights mean so little to Australia? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31112 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:35:05 AEDT ]]> Smokers’ and non-smokers’ attitudes towards smoking cessation in Saudi Arabia: A systematic review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44914 Mon 24 Oct 2022 16:24:26 AEDT ]]> Perceptions of the adoption of Clinical Decision Support Systems in the Saudi Healthcare Sector https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44854 Mon 24 Oct 2022 11:03:03 AEDT ]]> Management innovations, organisational culture, and national culture: the case of adaptation of Total Quality Management (TQM) in Saudi Arabia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32604 Mon 23 Sep 2019 13:27:00 AEST ]]> An Overview of the Internet of Things (IoT) Applications in the Health Sector in Saudi Arabi https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53758 Mon 15 Jan 2024 09:48:59 AEDT ]]> Accreditation of medical schools in Saudi Arabia: a qualitative study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34343 Mon 04 Mar 2019 14:57:34 AEDT ]]>
