The purpose of this study is to examine the roles of nurse educators through the eyes of undergraduate and graduate students at selected Saudi Arabian universities in the context of Vision 2030, an initiative to transform the socio-economic reform plan that is opening Saudi Arabia worldwide based on the following three pillars: a vital society, a thriving economy and an ambitious nation.
Nursing education in Saudi Arabia has faced numerous obstacles due to cultural, educational, organizational and work-related factors, discouraging registered nurses and students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programmes from pursuing career paths in nursing education.
Descriptive phenomenology was used as the method. Twenty-two nursing students from selected government and private universities in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Region were recruited through purposive sampling and semi-structured in-depth interviews. The COREQ criteria list was adapted to report the study's findings.
Four themes emerged regarding how nursing students perceived nurse educators' roles, including philanthropists of learning, advocates for patient safety and quality service, proponents of individual transformation and beacons of hope for nursing's future.
Despite rapidly changing images, ideologies and perceptions of modernization and worldwide freedom of expression and speech, students continue to have positive perspectives on nurse educators' roles.
The study's findings will provide an initiative for nurse managers and leaders to revisit the roles of nurse educators in moulding future generations of registered nurses and realign these roles towards the goals and objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.
本研究旨在审视护士教育者在沙特阿拉伯选定大学的本科和研究生学生眼中的角色，这是“2030 愿景”的一部分，该倡议旨在根据以下三个支柱：一个充满活力的社会、一个繁荣的经济和一个雄心勃勃的国家，在全球范围内开放沙特阿拉伯的社会经济改革计划。
由于文化、教育、组织和工作相关因素，沙特阿拉伯的护理教育面临诸多障碍，这阻碍了注册护士和本科及研究生课程的学生从事护理教育职业道路。
采用描述性现象学作为方法。通过目的性抽样，从沙特阿拉伯东部地区的选定政府和私立大学招募了 22 名护理学生，并进行了半结构化深入访谈。研究结果采用 COREQ 标准清单进行报告。
关于护理学生如何看待护士教育者的角色，出现了四个主题，包括学习的慈善家、患者安全和优质服务的倡导者、个人转型的支持者以及护理未来的希望灯塔。
尽管现代形象、意识形态以及对言论自由和全球表达自由的看法正在迅速变化，但学生们对护士教育者的角色仍然持积极看法。
该研究的结果将为护理经理和领导者提供一个契机，重新审视护士教育者在塑造未来几代注册护士中的角色，并使这些角色与沙特阿拉伯 2030 愿景的目标和目的保持一致。
