Ahmad Al-Nawafleh
I am Academic and researcher working currently in Jordan. Much of my research has drawn upon career development for nurses to illuminate profession related strategies and policies in national regional and global context. A significant part of my work has been based upon an in-depth qualitative study of the migrant nurses' experience in destination country. This research has contributed to my greater understanding of the personal, socio-cultural, professional and economical contexts of career development for nurses. currently I am conducting a survey study of Jordanian health professionals. As a result first paper is submitted for publication.
I have also recently completed a study (as co-researcher) investigating ''post-doctoral knowledge transfer in an internationalized context'' focusing upon Jordan as a case study. This research was funded by University of Nottingham. It investigated the personal and professional influences of doctoral education, illustrating the hurdles and initiators for ongoing research career development once nurse graduates return home after doctoral study overseas. The study was conducted with colleagues from the University of Nottingham (Dr.Catrin Evans) and the University of Jordan (Dr. Ruqayya Zeilani). Two papers have been published from this project and several presentations in international conferences. Another project I am conducting currently (as PI and funded by INDEN/STTI) is preparing a proposal for a project of translating evidence and science in nursing practice. This project involves learning from an experience implemented in the University of Michigan, School of Nursing. The project will advise policy and decision makers with the academic nurses in Jordan on 'Academic Nurse Dual Appointment'.
I have finished a project (as PI) investigated nurses perspectives on patient safety culture in Jordan. Another project in the process of closing up investigated the student nurses knowledge, skills and attitudes of patient safety. I am also conducting now a study (as PI) of testing WHO Multi-Professional Patient Safety Curriculum in Jordan. This project is funded by University of Mutah.

Methods: A cross sectional design was used with self reported questionnaires to measure the degree to which self-efficacy and goal orientation make difference in BSc nursing students success. A sample of 229 nursing students participated in the study from one of the universities in Jordan.
Results: Results indicated that self-efficacy was a significant predictor of academic success. However, goal orientation was not a significant predictor in explaining this success.
Discussion and conclusion: Self-efficacy makes a difference in success of the BSc nursing students in this study. Considering this factor, nursing students' academic success could be improved.
Key Words: nursing education, student motivation, academic achievement, cross sectional quantitative.
Methods: Quantitative methodology, utilising cross sectional survey distributed to 158 final year nursing students and analysed by confirmatory factor and descriptive statistics and descriptive statistics.
Results : The model produced 4 components and their Cronbach Alpha reliabilities are: Comfort (0.778), Error reporting (0.638) , Denial (0.510) and Culture (0.739), while the overall reliability for is (0.845). While, 62% of students have observed medical errors during their clinical practice; only 25% of them have reported an error using incident report.
Discussion and conclusion: It is significant to include Patient Safety in nursing education and training programes. The inclusion will excel the level of clinical excellence, shed a light on trimming down medical errors, and enhancing health outcomes.
