Recent publications (2018-2021) reveal strong thematic continuity across geriatrics, cardiology, and nursing education, with emphasis on evidence-based practice in Middle Eastern healthcare settings. Key trends include caregiver burden analysis, simulation efficacy validation, and physiological-behavioral determinants of student performance.

No formal scientific awards are documented, though she serves as reviewer for Oman Medical Journal and Nursing Forum.
