There are some cultural differences that Kenyan nurses should be aware of when working in Saudi Arabia. According to a study published in the Saudi Medical Journal, lack of knowledge of non-Muslim nurses or culture in Saudi Arabia, difficulties in achieving cultural competence, and culture shock were documented as cultural difference factors 1. Another study published in the same journal identified language barriers, lack of translation, lack of training and orientation on Saudi culture, and workload as some of the challenges of cultural competency among expatriate nurses working in Saudi Arabia 2.
It is important for Kenyan nurses to be aware of these cultural differences and to take steps to overcome them. This can include learning about Saudi Arabian culture and customs, taking language classes to improve communication with patients and colleagues, and seeking support from colleagues and supervisors to help manage culture shock and other challenges.process for f applying for a job in Saudi Arabia
