ABSTRACT
Students' learning styles have been the center of several studies. Nevertheless, it remains complex and can be affected by many factors. Nursing students, for instance, are required to learn large quantities of theoretical content in a short time, which necessitates the use of different learning styles during their studies. Learning in health professional programs, such as nursing, requires various ways of teaching and learning. Studying nursing requires the ability to perform a great variety of clinical skills. Exploring the students' learning styles is considered one of the effective approaches for a good learning process. Many studies have explored the issue of learning styles among nursing students; however, there is little known about the learning styles of nursing students in Oman. Therefore, this article explains the importance of exploring the different learning styles among nursing students and it shed-lights on some theoretical models of the learning styles. In addition, it gives a brief description of studies exploring the learning styles in Arab Gulf countries and Oman. As educators, we need to know the students well enough and find out their learning styles preferences to help them succeed in their educational nursing program and eventually their career as professional nurses. Accordingly, this article gives recommendations on improving the learning outcomes among nursing students with different learning styles by using various teaching strategies.

ABSTRACT
This pilot study aimed to determine the clarity, relevance, understanding and reliability of the Revised Individual Workload Perception Scale with a sample of Omani nurses. The study also explored use of incident reports to determine if underreporting of errors exists in Omani hospitals. The IWPS-R has been shown to be a valid and reliable tool to measure nurses' perceptions in relation to their workload and work environment in the USA, Europe and Asian countries. IWPS-R has not been used in any Arab country including Oman. Therefore, the validity and reliability of the scale needed to be tested with an Omani sample. This pilot study also assessed the use of incident reports to identify the number, types and causes of errors in Omani hospitals in anticipation of a subsequent study. This pilot study used a descriptive statistical design and the data were collected using IWPS-R and, incident reports submitted by one hospital unit. The sample included 28 nurses. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 24 was used for data analysis. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the IWPS-R was .708. All but two IWPS-R subscales had coefficients above .50. Most of the nurses reported understanding the items of the IWPS-R. Only six incident reports were submitted by the unit over a 3-month period, suggesting underreporting of medical errors.IWPS-R was found to be a valid and moderately reliable instrument when used with a sample of Omani nurses on four of its six subscales. The results supported the use of the IWPS-R in Oman. The small number of incidents reported suggested underreporting of errors, which necessitated major changes in the design of the subsequent larger study.

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Global demands for nurses have increased dramatically and the recruitment of internationally trained nurses in western countries and in the Gulf, states has continually grown over the years and yet less is known about the experiences they encounter in their host countries. Aims: The study aimed at exploring the lived experience of internationally recruited nurses in Oman that seeks to know how culture affects their adjustment process. The study also explored the acculturation that nurses undertake to adapt to a new culture from a personal and nursing perspective and the study also identified the support mechanisms that are in place to assist in the transition. Methods: The study is a qualitative descriptive phenomenological study defined as an approach to understanding people’s everyday life experience utilizing Collaizi’s 7 Phenomenological Steps. The samples were taken from four (4) major governorates in Oman namely Dhofar, Dhakliya, North Batinah & Muscat. Out of 45 Nurses, 18 met the inclusion criteria and volunteered to undergo the structured phone interviews and conferences. Results: 18 nurses consented to participate in the interview, most Internationally recruited nurses holding a bachelor's degree with an average age of 33.5 years. Most participants reported challenges in their transition to Oman upon being deployed. Seven Themes with seven sub-themes were identified. Conclusion: There is a need for a more systematic and ethical recruitment strategy that enhances IRN’s full integration into the host country’s social, religious, and cultural system. It was also found that language is an integral part of the IRN’s assimilation therefore the need for a formal and structured training and orientation program must be in place in both recruiting agencies and the catchment facilities in Oman.

ABSTRACT
Background: Most of the breastfeeding problems such as relactation experience stem from the psychological condition of the women who experience it. Those stress conditions affect the brain loci that control the perception of health. Perception’s problem is a very broad and complex. Therefore, interesting to understanding about perceptions of relactation experiences in women who failed to provide exclusive breastfeeding through qualitative methods. Method: The research was conducted using descriptive phenomenology on 10 informants through semi-structural interviews. Result: Seven themes obtained namely (a) Knowledge about Breastfeeding (b) Support obtained during breastfeeding (c) Role of health workers in the breastfeeding process (d) Postnatal psychological condition (e) Mother's Breastfeeding History (g) The role of social media and relations in the breastfeeding process (h) Implementation of Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (EIB) in the delivery place. Discussion: Various components have mutual implications for the relactation have done such as due to a lack of knowledge about breastfeeding and the existence of self-perceptions about postpartum psychological conditions which tend to be moody. The view that the mother had previously breastfed and was considered to have more knowledge was a trigger for women to feel safer when following their mother. In addition, self-perception also has implications for self-confidence to breastfeed. The closest environment and the most frequent contact, namely health workers, how the nuclear family supports women physically and mentally after childbirth, the implementation of EIB in the delivery center, and access to breastfeeding information through social media have implications for the success of relactation.

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Burnout syndrome is a condition in which a person suffers emotional exhaustion, a loss of respect or a positive perspective of others, and a reduction in self-achievement as a result of prolonged stress.
