Abstract	Competency-based education that relies on nurses' and healthcare professionals' needs assessment is crucial to tackling healthcare crises such as COVID-19. Strengthening the capacities of human resources by implementing customized infection control training programs is therefore mandatory. This study aims to measure the effectiveness and satisfaction of the Competency Outcomes and Performance Assessment (COPA)-based training program. The study implemented a single group pretest-posttest experimental design. A single-stage cluster sampling technique was used. All field hospitals in Jordan were listed, and one hospital was randomly selected. A total of 87 personnel from different disciplines agreed to participate after reading the letter of information and signing the informed consent. A panel of experts representing different disciplines and hospital units initially met and agreed upon a list of competencies required for the training program, and the program was accordingly developed. The study measured the healthcare professionals' competencies in infection control and prevention before and after the administration of the competency-based training program. The results revealed significant differences between participants' pretest and posttest scores in all infection control domains and the total scores. For example, the increase in participants' total competency scores after the training was statistically significant (

Abstract	Background: Nurses and patients are often exposed to various types of infections during their clinical practice. Knowledge and compliance with standard precautions are essential to prevent hospitals associated infections and protect patients as well as medical workers from exposure to infectious agents. Aims: This study aimed to assess the level of knowledge, level of compliance, and associated factors toward compliance with standard precautions among registered nurses in the North of Jordan. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at three hospitals in the North of Jordan. Two were public hospitals and one was a university-affiliated hospital. A questionnaire concerning the knowledge and compliance with the standard precaution guidelines was distributed among 300 registered nurses of whom 266 completed the questionnaire (response rate 88.7%). Results: 53% of the participants were from governmental hospitals and 57.1% were females. The age median of them was 30 years (IQR = 28-32). The majority of the participants were medical/surgical RNs (33.1%) while only 8.3% of them were from the pediatric/gynecology departments. The overall knowledge score was 16.27 (SD = 3.15), and the total compliance score was 49.15 (SD = 12.36). Besides, the study showed a moderate positive correlation between the level of knowledge, experience in years, and the standard precautions compliance (r = 0.387, p = 0.01), (r = 0.341, p = 0.01), respectively. Conclusions: standard precautions are the basic level of the infection control process. The participants may possess satisfactory knowledge and compliance levels. However, more training programs and more focusing on the standard precautions by educational institutes are needed for nurses to improve their knowledge and compliance with infection-control standard precautions.

Abstract	Working with 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) patients is currently considered one of the main fears and challenges that face healthcare workers (HCWs), especially nurses. This challenge can jeopardize the quality of health care services for those patients and cause a serious mental burden to HCWs. To understand and estimate the risk of COVID-19 infection among HCWs who directly serve COVID-19 patients. Before the community spread of the disease, 270 nurses who worked with COVID-19 wards were followed for 11 weeks to report the COVID-19 cases. On the other hand, during the community spread of the disease, 981 registered nurses (300 worked in COVID-19 wards and 681 worked in non-COVID wards) were followed for up to 16 weeks to report the COVID-19 cases. Before the community spread of COVID-19, none of the nurses who worked with the COVID-19 patients got the infection. On the other hand, during the community spread of the COVID-19 infection, 30% of the 300 nurses who worked in the COVID-19 wards got the COVID-19 infection, while 64% of the 681 HCWs who worked in the non-COVID wards got the infection. The relative risk of getting COVID-19 infection among HCWs who worked in the COVID-19 wards was reduced to about half in comparison to other HCWs who worked in the non-COVID wards (RR = 0.469). HCWs should not fear working with COVID-19 patients. Considering appropriate personal protective measures and infection control standards, the risk of infection transmission from the community is higher than that of COVID-19 patients, if any.

Abstract	Patient safety is an important outcome for nurses who provide patient care within an environment that may increase the incidence of errors or impose them to omit care; these errors mostly happen because of staff shortage. The purpose of this study is to identify the types and reasons of "missed nursing care" among Jordanian nurses, and to examine the relationships between "missed nursing care", staffing, intent to leave, and job satisfaction. A cross-sectional descriptive design was used. A convenience sample of 300 nurses completed the Arabic version of MISSCARE which included items to measure types and reasons for "missed nursing care", staffing adequacy, job satisfaction, and intent to leave. The results of this study indicated that Labor resources were the most common cause of "missed nursing care". The results also showed that a low number of nurses per shift were associated with a high level of "missed nursing care". Nurse managers need to tackle staffing problems that may increase the rate of missed care and result in negative outcomes on the patients, nurses, as well as organizations. Nurse administrators could conduct evidence-based staffing plans to manage nurse to patient ratio to decrease missed care and enhance satisfaction.

Abstract	COVID-19 serological antibody tests are recently needed for a relatively quick, affordable, and valuable assessment of the immunity toward COVID-19 infection. Furthermore, they can help with evaluating the sufficiency of the vaccination process and its longevity. There are limitations in the current approach of choosing the positive and negative control samples for the validation of those tests. Herein, we are proposing the use of blood samples from positive COVID-19 patients, at the beginning of the disease course, as negative control blood samples for the antibody tests. For more precision, both the negative and the positive control samples can be obtained from the same patients where the accuracy of the test will depend on its ability to detect the seroconversion, from negative to positive antibodies detection, within the same patient. Furthermore, when the validation of the test is accompanied by detecting/sequencing the viral genome in those COVID-19 patients, this can also aid in determining the accuracy of the test in detecting the immune response to specific viral variants. The latter notion is needed for the proper management of the COVID-19 crisis, new vaccines' manufacturing, and evaluating the vaccines' efficiencies. Finally, this approach could be requested/formulated by the regulatory agencies as part of the tests' validation and can be "in-house" obtained by health facilities before its clinical use.

Abstract	The education and training of healthcare workers (HCWs) about pandemic response plans, infection control protocols (ICP), and precautions are critical for breaking the virus transmission chain. This study aimed to assess the knowledge of HCWs regarding the COVID-19 pandemic response plan and the ICP. Concomitantly, evaluating the effectiveness and impact of institutional measures, policies, and training programs. A cross-sectional study using an electronic questionnaire was used to collect data from 267 HCWs at a University-affiliated-hospital during April 2020. In this study, 90.7% of participants were nurses and 66% were females. 60.3% of participants received specific training about caring for COVID-19 patients while at least 94.3% reviewed the pandemic response plan and ICP for COVID-19. 47.5% and 29.2% of participants provided direct care for suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients, respectively. Between 85.7% and 100% of the participants answered all items correctly regarding the COVID-19 pandemic response plan, measures, and precautions. Furthermore, the correct answers were above 95% for each item. HCWs have a high level of knowledge about the COVID-19 pandemic response plan and ICP. Training and disseminating updated plans and protocols in different methods such as an intranet and onsite training in addition to regular methods were very effective.

Abstract	COVID -19 has driven an unprecedented challenge to the economic, social, and health aspects of human life worldwide. The daily increasing numbers of human life loss encourage us, the healthcare and public health communities, to share best practices and lessons learned to mitigate the resurgence of this pandemic. On the other hand, the pandemic itself or alternatively our policies in dealing with it has led to a dramatic loss and disastrous effects on many aspects including the food and nutritional systems and the world of work. The economic and social disruption caused by the pandemic is devastating; tens of millions of people are at risk of falling into extreme poverty, while the number of undernourished people, currently estimated at nearly 690 million, could increase by up to 132 million by the end of the year. The number of workers who are losing their jobs and the number of bankruptcies for small businesses are increasing. This report aims to bring the attention of policymakers, especially in the developing countries including Jordan, to different perspectives about crucial law acts, the lockdown and the curfew act, that have tremendous effects on the economy and may soon become a main contributor to the increased level of COVID-19 transmission and the main source of the new COVID-19 cases. We hypothesize for a mathematical model based on the comparison between the number of sporadic new cases, number of new cases/family, and the average number of family members to anticipate the value and the sufficiency of the lockdown or the curfew acts on modulating the transmission and the number of new COVID-19 cases in societies.

Abstract	Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the level of structural empowerment and explore its relationship with job performance among nurses. Background: Empowered nurses display more authority and an awareness of the accomplishment of their contribution to organizational goals. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with a convenience sample of nurses in 4 hospitals in Jordan. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Results: A total of 195 nurses responded to the questionnaires, including 88 males (45.1%) and 107 females (54.9%). Overall, participants perceived their work environment to be moderately empowering. There is a significant positive correlation between structural empowerment and job performance. Conclusions: Highly empowered nurses display higher performance than less empowered nurses. Nurse managers must create an empowering work environment that supports nurses' job performance positively through structural empowerment. Applying structural empowerment in the work setting is crucial for ensuring the highest quality of patient care, improving nurses' performance, and reaching the organizational goals.

Abstract	Background: Despite the importance of involving nurses in health policy, nurse's involvement faces many challenges. Literature showed that there is a low level of nurses' and nurse leaders' involvement in health policy development. Aim: The aims of this study were to examine (a) the level of Jordanian head nurses' involvement in health policy development and their perceived benefits and barriers; (b) the relationships between level of knowledge, competence, and interest in health policy and the level of involvement in health policy development; and (c) the relationship between the level of self-efficacy (efficacy expectation and outcome expectation) and the level of involvement in health policy development. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive correlational study design was adopted in this study. A convenience sampling of 250 participants from hospitals affiliated to three health sectors in Jordan (private, governmental, and university) were recruited to complete a self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation coefficient were used to answer the study questions. Results: The results revealed a moderate level of involvement of head nurses in the policy development. The most frequent cited political activity was "providing written reports, consultations, research." "Lack of time" was the most perceived barrier, while "improving the health of the public" was the most perceived benefit. Workshops or sessions at conferences is the most indicated source of knowledge. Participants had an excellent level of skills with positive relationships between the competence and both of the levels of professional and personal involvement in health policy. Participants reported a low level of confidence in performing political activities as well as the impact of such activities on health outcomes. Positive relationship was indicated between self-efficacy and the levels of professional and personal involvement in political activities.
