Item Restricted Assessment of measuring and monitoring safety in healthcare in Ireland and Saudi Arabia(University of Galway, 2023-08-16) Kaud, Yazeed; O'Connor, Paul; Lydon, SinéadIn the past two decades, governments worldwide have prioritised the improvement of health care quality and safety as a primary policy goal. However, progress towards achieving this goal has been limited. The provision of poor care and the prevalence of high levels of harm persist in hospitals. Measurement is considered a crucial and essential initial step in the process of improving patient safety. However, while measuring and monitoring patient safety is widely recognised, there is a lack of agreement on how to achieve it. In this thesis, a multi-method approach was taken to address the dimensions in the Measuring and Monitoring Safety (MMS) framework developed by Vincent et al. to provide a structure for understanding how safety is measured and monitored in hospitals in Ireland and Saudi Arabia. Study 1 is a scoping review of patient safety research carried out in the Republic of Ireland (RoI). It examines the extent, range, and nature of patient safety research activities carried out in the RoI; makes recommendations for future research; and considers how these recommendations align with the Health Service Executive’s (HSE) patient safety strategy. Study 2 considers how safety is measured and monitored in Irish hospitals and offers recommendations for how it can be improved. Study 3 is a scoping review that maps the quantity and nature of current patient safety research in Saudi Arabian hospitals, as well as identifies gaps in the existing literature. Finally, study 4 assesses the Saudi Arabian healthcare safety surveillance system in hospitals using the MMS framework. The findings from the four studies conducted in this thesis demonstrate the availability of an adequate amount of safety data, the availability of diverse methods for collecting safety data, and the expertise necessary to improve safety. The challenge is to identify the most efficient methods for generating key and high-quality data that can help multidisciplinary teams in developing effective interventions tailored to specific health contexts.19 0Item Restricted The Effectiveness of the Current Female Teacher Performance Evaluation System on Female Teacher Performance Improvement(Saudi Digital Library, 2024-01-03) Almana, Amal; Liam, MurrayWith the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s (KSA) 2030 Vision launch, the Ministry of Education (MoE) has declared that human resources are indispensable among the most imperative factors for the success of any institution. From this standpoint, a teacher is at the root of any important achievement or transformation in society. Therefore, teachers need a performance evaluation system to ensure the continuation of professional development. Enhancing such a system may impact both the improvement of teacher performance and the outcomes of general education by helping to provide favourable conditions for the professional growth of the teachers. With careful consideration of the organization in the institution context, recent research shows that teacher evaluation is used as a method for professional development. Hence, the evaluation of teacher performance has been used as a strategic instrument in many nations to raise standards of teaching and pupil progress (Ryu 2020). The primary goal of this study is to determine whether the performance evaluation system is appropriate for fostering female teachers' professional development in terms of the clarity and accuracy of the current teacher performance evaluation (TPE) model, the role of administrative oversight of an evaluation process and also the mechanisms used in the evaluation process. The second goal elicits in-depth teachers’ views on their development and needs, as well as the availability of the provision of means, training, and learning with technologies. In addition, the importance of providing feedback will also be investigated. Thus, our study will focus on the theoretical background and the development of the teacher performance evaluation processes, including the standards, models, training and tools used for the evaluation purpose. A mixed-method approach was employed to gather quantitative and qualitative data including a combination of quantitative (questionnaires) and qualitative (semi-structured interviews) methods in 33 schools of Riyadh city.13 0
