To identify factors influencing high school students' choice of nursing and explore strategic interventions to promote nursing as a career in the Arab region.
This study forms part of a PhD thesis, conducted in Bahrain, in a healthcare environment with a high dependence on expatriate nurses to maintain nursing services. However, in attracting local candidates to study nursing, the public image of nursing in the Middle East must be improved by implementing strategies that are sensitive to the Arabic culture.
A mixed methods approach incorporating quantitative and qualitative dimensions.
Data were collected between 2012 - 2015 using self-administered questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, focus groups, and written narratives. The study sample included high school students, parents, career guidance counsellors, and nursing students. A one-group pre-test posttest design was used to introduce a nursing recruitment intervention to high school students. spss was used to analyse quantitative data. Colaizzi's () and Krueger's () frameworks were applied to analyse the qualitative data.
It is proposed that the public perceptions of Arab people about nursing may be grounded in strong cultural influences and any efforts to improve the enrolment and retention of local nurses should consider enhancing the social values of the nursing profession. The NURSING-Positive Recruitment Arabic Model incorporates essential elements which will guide nursing recruitment in the Arabic cultures.
The study findings reflect certain issues similar to the core international literature on nursing recruitment, however there are fundamental issues particular to the Arab region, which must be included in the development of a nursing recruitment strategy for Arabic nursing.
确定影响高中生选择护理专业的因素，并探讨促进阿拉伯地区护理职业发展的战略干预措施。
本研究是在巴林进行的博士论文的一部分，该研究所在医疗保健环境中高度依赖外籍护士来维持护理服务。然而，要吸引当地候选人学习护理，就必须通过实施对阿拉伯文化敏感的策略来改善中东的护理行业形象。
采用包含定量和定性维度的混合方法。
数据收集时间为 2012 年至 2015 年，使用的方法包括自填式问卷、半结构式访谈、焦点小组和书面叙述。研究样本包括高中生、家长、职业指导顾问和护理学生。采用单组前后测设计向高中生介绍护理招聘干预措施。使用 spss 分析定量数据。采用 Colaizzi（）和 Krueger（）的框架分析定性数据。
研究提出，阿拉伯人对护理的公众看法可能根植于强烈的文化影响，任何提高本地护士招生和留任的努力都应考虑增强护理职业的社会价值。NURSING-Positive Recruitment Arabic Model（NURSING-积极招聘阿拉伯模式）包含了将指导阿拉伯文化护理招聘的基本要素。
研究结果反映了与国际护理招聘核心文献相似的某些问题，但也存在特定于阿拉伯地区的根本问题，这些问题必须纳入阿拉伯护理招聘战略的制定中。
