EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In the academic year 2013-2014, the College of Nursing (CoN) continued to implement the
Bachelor of Science in Nursing program through the regular and the bridging pathways. In
total, the BSN program accepted 120 students. These included 99 high school students
admitted into the direct entry program and 21 diploma nurses admitted into the bridging
program. In the same academic year, 78 students successfully graduated, 62 of them regular
students and 16 bridging (diploma) students. The achievements herein described resulted from
the hard work of both students and teams of dedicated 75 academic and administrative staff.
A doctoral prepared faculty and three (3) master’s prepared faculty also joined the college as
part of the continuing effort to maintain and improve the quality of education provided to the
students. As part of the Omanisation drive, four (4) Omanis were employed as demonstrators.
Furthermore, three (3) demonstrators were sponsored to pursue their master’s degrees in the
United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. The faculty numbers also increased following
the return of two (2) demonstrators who completed their studies. They now serve as lecturers.
In terms of research, nine (9) research projects were funded. Eight studies obtained funding
from the university, while one was funded by His Majesty Sultan Qaboos research fund. This was
testimony to the increasing external research funding capacity of the college. We are also
happy to report that faculty publications in peer reviewed local and international journals
increased. The faculty also presented papers and posters in conferences, symposia, and
workshops within Oman and globally, indicating improvement in the growth of the college.
As in previous years, the college continued to participate in community outreach projects
through its four academic departments. The various successfully organised and implemented
outreach activities benefited both target communities as well as provided unique opportunities
for students’ learning. The student group and the alumni group also carried out a number of
activities within and outside the university. In addition to the continuing successes and
achievements in the undergraduate program, the college continued to prepare for the
commencement of the Master of Science in Nursing program after the university’s approval.
As part of continuous quality improvement and management, the College implemented a
variety of continuing professional development activities to strengthen the capacity of its
faculty and staff in areas of research, e-learning, evidence based practice and integrated
simulation in all teaching-learning activities as part of the accreditation efforts at the college.
In tandem with the university’s strategic interest to attain international recognition, the college
continued to prepare for accreditation with the US based Accreditation Commission for
Education in Nursing (ACEN). This preparation included forming faculty and staff into
committees to update the self-study report, personal profiles, and other related documentation.
After obtaining candidate status covering the period January 2014 to January 2016, a college
wide retreat was organised by the Office of the Dean in December 2013 at Crowne Plaza
Hotel, Muscat to acquaint faculty with the self-study report and other accreditation related
requirements. This was to prepare for a second accreditation visit by the ACEN in Fall 2015.
In line with our tradition, we now invite you to share in our accomplishments.
1 MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN
I am honoured to present to you the College of Nursing
Annual Report for the academic year 2013-2014. As
you might have noticed, the college continues to
uphold its commitment of producing a comprehensive
“Annual Report.” This report summarises various
activities involving our students, staff, and the faculty.
In the academic year 2013-2014, we registered an
increment in the number of students. This is in line with the university’s goal of creating
increasingly accessible educational opportunities for Omanis, especially those who aspire to
join the profession of nursing. The increased admissions also reflect our desire to give the
opportunity for more diploma nurses to obtain their degrees through our bridging program.
In this report, you will find summary of achievements of the college in relation to teaching and
learning, research, student and alumni activity including collaborations and community
events. The report reflects the unified effort of the administration, faculty, staff, and students.
I therefore take this opportunity to thank all the administrators, the faculty, staff, and students
for all the progress and accomplishments made over the academic year. I extend our sincere
appreciation and gratitude to our partner hospitals, sponsors, alumni, and friends for
supporting our programs and initiatives. We are confident this continued collaboration will
enable us develop nurses and nurse leaders to address the health needs of our country, Oman.
Finally, I am grateful to all the members of the College Reports and Documentation
Committee who worked tirelessly to seek, compile, and edit the information here summarised.
I now invite you to learn more about our accomplishments in the academic year 2013-2014.
Thank you

9 INTRODUCTION
The College of Nursing, since its inception in September 2008, continues to implement the
Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree program through two pathways; the direct entry
pathway and the bridging pathway. The direct entry program targets young Omanis from
secondary school, while the bridging program targets nurses with diplomas who wish to
upgrade to the degree. Since, the first graduation, the College through it programs continues to
contribute significantly in developing human resources for health to play a central role in
meeting the health care demands of patients and clients in the Omani health care system.
In order to produce competent graduates, the college upholds the vision and mission of the
university by engaging in rigorous quality assurance processes. These processes ensure that the
college provides high quality nursing education in accordance with international nursing
education standards. In fulfilment of this commitment to quality training, the college
continued with preparations for its international accreditation. Furthermore, following years of
undergraduate training, the college continued with its steadfast journey of becoming a premier
institution in the country and the region for undergraduate and graduate nursing education.
The college thus continued to prepare for the Master of Science in Nursing program after
obtaining approval from the University Academic Council and Ministry of Higher Education.
To maintain the high standards of teaching, research, and community service, the college
continued to attract experienced academic and administrative staff from across the world. The
quality of teaching was enhanced by organising regular staff development programs on
modern teaching and learning approaches. The research output of the college continued to
increase, facilitated by encouraging individual faculty members to engage in research and other
scholarly activities. Furthermore, the community engagements of the college continued
throughout the year, manifesting in the faculty, staff and students engaging in various
activities. These developments in teaching, research, and community service are consistent
with the mission and objectives of the college, university, and national aspirations of Oman.
The successes and achievements documented in the report are due to the co-ordinated efforts
of the various areas of the college. To ensure smooth running, the college administration
supervises the four academic departments and other service areas, coordinating their activities
with expectations from the university administration. The administrative structure consists of
the office of the Dean; Assistant Deans for Undergraduate Studies; Postgraduate Studies and
Research; Training and Community Services as well as the Director of Administration.
The day-to-day administrative functions of the college are co-ordinated by the Director of
Administration and Deputy Director of Administration who are also in-charge of the
coordinators, technicians, and clerks. The activities of the college are conducted through
committees, which report to the Dean, the Chair of the College Board, the highest decision
making organ of the college. The College Board consists of representatives from College
Administration, Sultan Qaboos University Hospital and the four (4) academic departments.

16 TEACHING AND LEARNING
Teaching and learning is one of the three focal areas, the others being research and community
services. In teaching and learning, our goal is to prepare graduate nurses who are competent,
compassionate, and excellent critical thinkers. We also strive to produce nurses who
communicate effectively with others and who aspire to be transformational leaders within their
communities upon graduation. Our training focuses on preparing students to encourage them
for evidence-based practice and lifelong learning to ensure patient safety. The program ensures
that our graduates play a significant role in shaping the future of health care delivery in Oman.
To realise this aspiration, the academic and administrative teams work in tandem to provide
every student with the opportunity and support to acquire the knowledge and skills required
for safe and quality performance in their professional life. It is for this reason that we
emphasize holistic and culturally sensitive approaches in delivery of care across life spans and
the health-illness continuum, making our programs and graduates attractive and competitive.
Undergraduate Programs
The College has one Baccalaureate program, with two entry points: a regular pathway for
students entering after attaining the Secondary School Examination Certificate and a bridging
pathway for nurses who are trained at Nursing Diploma level but wish to upgrade to the
nursing degree level. The undergraduate program prepares nurses with care giving skills, which
is central to professional nursing. This is why we emphasize caring in our teaching and
learning activities. We deliberately prepare our students to cherish and practice nursing so that
they are rooted in protecting rights, dignity, and well-being of patients committed to their care.
Postgraduate Programs
We aim to match international nursing education standards and to deliver quality-nursing
education in the face of ever changing health care demands. To meet some of these challenges,
we have designed a postgraduate program, the Master of Science in Nursing, now awaiting
implementation. Additional graduate programs are planned to open in the future to create a
pool of competent and compassionate advanced practice nurses to meet the changing
healthcare demands of the people of Oman. The proposed MSN programs will provide
graduates with knowledge, skills, and competencies to practice as Clinical Nurse Specialists.
17 Academic Advising
Academic advising is a very crucial part of teaching and learning at the college. Every student
is allocated a faculty advisor during the orientation week. Advisors help students in all matters
related to their studies, organization of their courses of study and personal problems that may
negatively affect their studies. To ensure that our students benefit from academic advising,
advisors meet with assigned students on a regular basis to know their needs and monitor their
academic progress. Advisors also help their advisees to plan their course loads every semester
in accordance with the established curriculum plan of the college. In order to do this role
effectively, advisors regularly update and maintain personal files of their advisees. To enhance
effectiveness, the college organises an annual workshop to update advisors regarding this role.
Curriculum Plan
The curriculum is built upon the Malcolm Shepherd Knowles (1973) Principles of Adult
Learning theory which guides the selection of our teaching and learning approaches. These
learning activities are planned and implemented to promote self-directed and lifelong learning.
Our teaching and learning strategies also focus on our students’ skills acquisition, personal
autonomy, critical thinking, and enhancement of personal, social and professional growth.
In terms of the curriculum structure, in the first semester, our students enrol in foundation
courses. These courses are specifically designed to support students’ learning in advanced
courses in subsequent years. The curriculum plan in this beginning semester enables the new
students to complete requirements for English, Mathematics and Information Technology.
In subsequent semesters, students complete requirements of prerequisite courses in biomedical
and behavioural sciences. Before commencing further with clinical training, our students are
taught laboratory based courses, Fundamentals of Nursing and Health Assessment courses.
To fulfil their program clinical requirements, students take various courses among them,
Adult Health Nursing, Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing, Maternal and Child Health
Nursing, Community Health Nursing, Critical Care Nursing, Nursing Administration and
Advanced Clinical Nursing. These courses are arranged in a logical sequence to enable
students in the final semester provide comprehensive nursing care under clinical supervision.
The teaching sessions are composed of theoretical sessions in the college, bedside teaching in
the hospitals and the community, as well as self-directed learning opportunities created by the
18 students with support from the faculty. The various teaching learning sessions are supported
using a wide range of resources in the college, hospitals, and the university as a whole.
The leadership of the college is committed to ensuring that students have the requisite human
and material resources to support their teaching and learning, with particular emphasis on
clinical skills. Our study program operates using a credit system and the student completes
their studies after successfully completing 130 credits for students enrolled on the regular
program pathway and 67 credits for diploma students enrolled in bridging program pathway.
Innovative Teaching and Learning Strategies
The college uses a variety of teaching learning strategies to strengthen theoretical and clinical
teaching. The strategies used during classroom, laboratory and clinical teaching include
evidence based learning, reflection, critical thinking, e-learning and hybrid formats involving a
combination of traditional pedagogical strategies. The use of e- learning as an educational tool
is expanding yearly. Currently over 35 courses have blended their teaching with simulation,
case study method, and concept mapping with e-learning facilities offered by the Moodle.
There is also continuous improvement of clinical instruction of the students. This ensures that
our students are guided, mentored, and clinically instructed and preceptored by the faculty and
hospital nurses in the assigned ward, depending on the course in which they are enrolled. The
clinical training hours ensures attainment of skills and professional competencies, so that by
the time a student completes the program they have attained sufficient time in skill acquisition.
The clinical training is designed to ensure there is linkage between theory and practice, thereby
enhancing students’ clinical competencies for nursing practice. These training hospitals include
Sultan Qaboos University Hospital (SQUH); Khoula Hospital (KH); Royal Hospital (RH); Al
Masara Hospital (AH); Ministry of Health–Health Centers at Al-Khod, Al-Hail, Al-Seeb, and
Al-Mawaleh and various communities located in and around Muscat Governorate.
Training in the Skills Laboratories
A key component of the skills training of our undergraduate program occurs in the skills
laboratories, located in the ground floor of the college building. The skills laboratories are a
replica of actual clinical settings and provide learners with an opportunity to integrate theory
into practice, to think critically and to ensure patient safety while offering care. The skills labs
are equipped with various up-to-date simulation equipment, human size training models, and
manikins to teach students different skills and procedures according to the level of study.
19 RESEARCH AND INNOVATION
The college continues to nurture and support efforts related to research, scholarship, and
innovation. To enhance the capacity of faculty, student, and staff to engage in research, several
training sessions were implemented in the academic year and various research projects were
encouraged as well. There were a considerable number of funded studies. In this period,
publications in national and international refereed journals also increased substantially as well.
Research Projects and Activities
The following were the major research activities, funded projects, and innovations:

20 Evidence Based Nursing The college continued with its efforts to entrench the culture of evidence-based practice among
its faculty and students. The faculty continued to provide student-centered, evidence-based,
and innovative education throughout the semester. Further, faculty were constantly
encouraged to integrate scientific evidence in their teaching, in both clinical and theory courses
as a strategy to improve patient, health provider, community, and health system outcomes.
Every academic staff contributed to students’ appreciation of evidence-based practice in their
clinical practice through building knowledge and skills and through scholarly practice built
into various courses in the curriculum. As part of the students’ assignments in both clinical and
theoretical courses, students were required to review relevant and current literature and then
develop evidenced based projects or reports on selected topics with support from instructors.
Innovations for Research Capacity
The college continued to encourage the faculty to get involved in innovations to improve the
student learning outcomes. In terms of research, there were three (3) main innovative projects:
•
Creation of Specialized Research Groups: This entailed research groups consisting of senior
faculty working with junior faculty. The research group under the guidance of PhD
faculty worked on specialised research areas, with special focus on developing the
research capacity of Masters Faculty, whose expertise is largely clinical nursing skills.
•
Clinical Omani Nurses Research Capacity Building Project: This innovation addressed the
research readiness and skills gap among the clinical Omani nurses currently working in
health facilities in the Muscat Governorate and surrounding areas where the
undergraduate nursing students go for their clinical placements. This involved senior
faculty at the College of Nursing twinning with Omani clinical practice nurses with the
aim of mentoring and training them in the discipline of nursing and health research.
•
Faculty Mentored Undergraduate Research Award Program: This innovation entails
supporting students to undertake research activities under faculty guidance. The
students in this program work in small groups mentored by a senior faculty, who guides
them throughout the various stages of proposal development, implementation,
including dissemination of their study findings. The program is well accepted by
students and faculty because it has been shown to enhance student’s research capacity.
21 COMMUNITY SERVICE
In the academic year 2013-2014, the college continued to contribute to improving the health of
the public through community service. The college implemented several community service
activities in schools, health centres, villages, malls and other public settings to enhance
awareness through health education, health assessment, health screening, counselling, and
referral of individuals who need care. As part of the university’s effort to boost community
engagement, the college received official budget funds for its community service activities.
With support from the university, the CON during the academic year collaborated with several
organizations and units. Internally, these included the Department of Behavioural Medicine
(SQUH), Department of Radiology (SQUH), and Department of Physical Education (College
of Education, SQU).
Externally, the college collaborated with Samayal Health Center, Ministry of Health, Al Hayat
Association, National Committee for Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances, Barka Al
Romaise Basic Education School, South Buthaina Regional Schools, Al Bawariq School at
Qalat, and the Omani National Association to address various aspects of chronic diseases and
health problems that affect the Omani public.
The implemented community activities focused on childhood obesity, hypertension, and blood
pressure control, diabetes in adults and women’s health. These events implemented through a
close collaboration between faculty, students, and the community. The trajectory of
community service showed deliberate focus on chronic diseases and their prevention strategies.
With increased funding across the departments, several hundreds of individuals in the public
benefited and this resulted in closer collaboration with community organizations, increased
student participation, and development of frameworks to facilitate planning and
implementation of effective, impactful, and verifiable community based activities.
22 In summary, the key achievements in the academic year were:
•
ensuring steady funding for community service activities
•
streamlining the process for implementing community service activities
•
increasing collaboration with other departments at SQU and organizations in the community
•
enhancing tracking and reporting about community activities of the college
•
increasing faculty and student involvement in community service activities
In the subsequent years, the CON plans to focus on developing capacity and opportunities to
engage in income generating community service activities such as consultancies, training, and
others that involve sharing scientific nursing knowledge, skills, and expertise at a higher level.
Summary of Community Activities
The community based service events implemented through the academic departments are:
•
Maternal and Child Health Department, focusing on Childhood obesity
•
Fundamentals and Nursing Administration Department, focusing on hypertension
•
Community and Mental Health Department, focused on Women’s health
•

29 STUDENT AFFAIRS
Our students are involved in various activities of the college. Among these, students are
members of Curriculum and Student Liaison committees. The student liaison committee,
whose membership comprises cohort representatives, deals with student’s issues and concerns
related to academics, curriculum, facilities, policies, and extracurricular activities. The College
has an active student’s group, which spearheads student’s affairs. The student group
representatives continued to actively report academic and non-academic matters of concern to
the Dean, the Director of administration, Cohort advisors, and Heads of Department.
Admissions and Graduations
In the academic year 2013-2014, the BSN program accepted 120 students. These included 99
high school students admitted into the direct entry or regular program and 21 diploma nurses
for bridging program. Likewise, 62 direct entry students and 16 bridging students graduated.
Nursing Group Activities
The Nursing Group was founded in 2002, initially as part of an independent committee in the
medical group of Sultan Qaboos University’s College of Medicine and Health Sciences. In
2008, the nursing program got its own independent students group after the College of Nursing
became the ninth college at SQU. The objectives of this independent student group are to:
ü promote professionalism and leadership among the nursing students
ü raise awareness and knowledge about the nursing profession and nurses’ role in the development of
the healthcare system worldwide
ü promote ties among students to strengthen the professional standards among students as future
members of the nursing profession
ü provide opportunities for student network and cooperation with other groups in SQU.
ü represent the university at national and international events
ü serve the local community by cooperating with healthcare facilities in the country to educate the
community about common health issues.
In the period 2013-2014, student group conducted several extracurricular activities, including
participating in first aid workshops, nursing week events and increasing community’s health
awareness regarding childhood obesity, controlling hypertension and diabetic mellitus. In
total, the nursing group initiated activities benefited about 3195 individuals in this period.
One of the significant achievements of the nursing group
is publishing “Pulse of Life” Magazine. This magazine
discusses important healthcare issues in Oman community
and globally. It highlights important extracurricular
activities and events in the college. In addition, it has a
section about latest research and evidenced-based findings
relevant to nursing. Furthermore, it has an interview
summary with a successful nursing graduate who share their success experience with others.

32 HIGHLIGHTS OF ACADEMIC DEPARTMENTS AND UNITS
The core academic responsibilities of the College occurred through the following five units:
Skills and Laboratory and Simulation unit
Each of these four academic departments implements and manages assigned courses within
the curriculum plan. The fifth unit facilitates skills acquisition in clinical and practice-based
courses implemented through the four departments. The highlights of the main events follow:
A. Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Department
The Department of Maternal and Child Health (MCH) aims to maintain excellence in the
fields of nursing education and research contributing to comprehensive care of women and
children. The department provides courses related to Maternal and Child Health nursing
within the framework of the curriculum plan of the College. Further, it aims to expand
academic excellence through collaborative research and establishment of transdisciplinary
networks with local, national, and international agencies.
Innovations in teaching and learning
1. Simulation lab training and Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) method of
evaluation is used in Maternal Health Nursing and Child Health NursingCourse since
2009.
2. The Simulation method of teaching and learning using moderate fidelity simulator has
improved the manual dexterity of students and hence the students’ clinical skills. It has
been particularly useful in teaching male students maternity skills. A high fidelity simulator
is planned to enrich student competency and skills in future.

B. Fundamentals and Nursing Administration (FNA) Department
This department offered courses at both entry (Fundamental Nursing and Health Assessment)
and exit levels (Nursing Administration) to equip students with knowledge, attitude and skills
to work in various practice areas and to develop as professional nurses with firm commitment
to lifelong service and learning. The department also facilitated other courses taught by faculty
from other colleges of SQU such as Anatomy and Physiology and Biochemistry among others.
Innovative Teaching Approaches
The department incorporates innovative teaching methodologies to support and enhance
student learning using e-learning and simulation techniques. Presently, simulation is used as a
teaching strategy in Fundamentals of Nursing and Health Assessment, while e-learning is used
in Nursing Administration. In simulation, the learning situation is made to resemble clinical
practice as closely as possible and this provides students an opportunity to think and act as if
they are with real patients and yet it prevents students from causing harm to patients through a
trial-and-error approach.
The skills learnt using simulation is safely passed onto actual patient care later on during
clinical practice. The e-learning approach used in Nursing Administration has proved to be a
flexible way for nursing students to learn. It enables them to interact more creatively with
course facilitators and it accommodates their different learning styles. It also exposes students
to additional information through attachments and links provided by course coordinators and
clinical instructors. Through simulation and e-learning techniques, the department has made
learning more interesting for students.
