Purpose of the Study:
- To explore nurses' experiences with a diverse workforce.
- To assess the level of interaction among nurses in Qatar's multicultural healthcare setting.
Main Methods:
- Sequential exploratory mixed-methods research conducted at a tertiary maternity facility in Doha, Qatar.
- Phase I involved a survey of 735 nurses using the Workforce Diversity Questionnaire II.
- Phase II included focus group discussions with 10 nurses.
Main Results:
- Nurses reported high ratings across all domains of workforce diversity interaction.
- Interaction levels were influenced by age, nationality, clinical experience, patient diversity, and residency duration.

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
