Health workforce planning is critical for health systems to safeguard the ability to afford, train, recruit, and retain the appropriate number and mix of health workers. This balance is especially important when macroeconomic structures are also reforming. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is moving toward greater diversification, privatization, and resiliency; health sectorreform is a key pillar of this transition.We used the Ministry of Health Yearbook data on the number of workers and health expenditures from 2007 to 2018 and projected health labor market supply and demand of workers through 2030, evaluated the potential shortages and surpluses, and simulated different policy scenarios to identify relevant interventions. We further focused on projections for health workers who are Saudi nationals and health worker demand within the public sector (versus the private sector) to inform national objectives of reducing dependency on foreign workers and better deploying public sector resources.We projected the overall health labor market to demand 9.07 physicians and nurses per 1,000 population (356,514) in 2030; the public sector will account for approximately 67% of this overall demand. Compared to a projected supply of 10.16 physicians and nurses per 1,000 population (399,354), we estimated an overall modest surplus of about 42,840 physicians and nurses in 2030. However, only about 17% of these workers are estimated to be Saudi nationals, for whom there will be a demand shortage of 287,895 workers. Among policy scenarios considered, increasing work hours had the largest effect on reducing shortages of Saudi workers, followed by bridge programs for training more nurses. Government resources can also be redirected to supporting more Saudi nurses while still ensuring adequate numbers of physicians to meet service delivery goals in 2030.Despite projected overall balance in the labor market for health workers in 2030, without policy interventions, severe gaps in the Saudi workforce will persist and limit progress toward health system resiliency in Saudi Arabia. Both supply- and demand-side policy interventions should be considered, prioritizing those that increase productivity among Saudi health workers, enhance training for nurses, and strategically redeploy financial resources toward employing these workers.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), similar to other countries in the Eastern Mediterranean, has been experiencing a recent rapid increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases and associated risk factors. To begin to take advantage of the chronic disease prevention and health promotion (CDPHP) knowledge available from other nations, researchers at a newly established University in the Qassim Province of the KSA have partnered with Stanford University in the United States of America. To ensure that CDPHP research and interventions are culturally relevant and appropriate, a participatory research approach has been adopted where local researchers are the target "community." Contextual challenges of conducting CDPHP research in the KSA, at the individual, social/cultural, organizational and environmental/policy levels, are identified, as well as examples of CDPHP intervention strategies that may be culturally appropriate at each level.

Abstract: Background: The Hajj is the largest annual gathering in the world, and it is a very important event for every Muslim. Makkah annually receives three million pilgrims who perform Hajj. Although precautionary measures have been taken in Saudi Arabia to slow down the spread of COVID-19, such as locking down the most affected cities, practicing social distancing, and applying the infection-control precautions, the number of cases has increased. The total confirmed number of cases in Makkah was 10,709 with 127 deaths as of May 16, 2020. Aims of the study: Forecasting the COVID-19 progression in the city of Makkah will help the policymakers decide if the Hajj will be able to operate this year. Thus, to see a clear picture of the fight against COVID-19 for the economy and healthcare industry in Saudi Arabia, specifically in Makkah, the SIR model will predict COVID-19 progression in the city of Makkah. Method: The Susceptible, Infected, and Recovered (SIR) model has been used to track the transmission dynamics and growth among the city of Makkah. The growth index was calculated, according to the data from March 16 until May 9. The estimated vital epidemiological parameters, such as forecasting works and transmission rates, were done. Result: The data showed an interesting result about the peak of the disease progression. It is projected to occur around the 12th day after running the model. According to the model, the peak time will be around the 22nd of May. Then, the number of cases will start to decrease. Conclusion: Using the SIR model, the result predicts the disease progression peak and an estimated end of COVID-19 in the city of Makkah to help the policymakers decide if the Hajj will be able to operate this year.

Oral cancer and precancers are a major public health challenge in developing countries. Researchers in Saudi Arabia have constantly been directing their efforts on oral cancer research and have their results published. Systematic analysis of such papers is the need of the hour as it will not only acknowledge the current status but will also help in framing future policies on oral cancer research in Saudi Arabia.The search string "oral cancer" OR "Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma" OR "oral premalignant lesion" OR "oral precancer" OR "Oral Potentially malignant disorder" AND AFFIL (Saudi AND Arabia ) was used for retrieval of articles from Scopus database. Various tools available in Scopus database were used for analyzing the bibliometric related parameters.The search revealed a total of 663 publications based on the above query. Maximum affiliations were from King Saud University (163) followed by Jazan University (109) and then King Abdulaziz University (106). A large number of international collaborations were observed, the maximum with India (176) and the USA (127). The maximum number of articles were published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention (34) followed by the Journal of Contemporary Dental Practice (33) and Journal of Oral Pathology and Medicine (19).Saudi researchers are directing their efforts towards the public health menace of oral cancer. However, it was also observed that some institutions have emerged as front runners in research, whereas others are contributing significantly less. The health department should encourage and take necessary steps to increase the involvement of other institutions.

Aim: Dental caries among school children in Saudi Arabia is a significant concern since the prevalence is high, prevention starts with education of the publicity and delivery of the correct information regarding the preventive measures and the nature of the dental disease. Several studies regarding oral health education through community programs revealed a good result in reducing the prevalence and incidence of the oral diseases. Our study aims to assess new methods in oral health education for primary school children. Materials and Methods: This study is an interventional study, convenient sample method of 750 students selected with no intellectual disability from seven primary schools in Saudi Arabia; students' ages range from 6 to 9 years old. In the conventional method, two dental students trained in the demonstration through a PowerPoint presentation illustrated with diagrams and a jaw model. Animation video prepared through online website includes all the points presented in the conventional education. A questionnaire designed to evaluate all provided information with ten questions to assess the knowledge of the student after immediately oral health education. The statistical test used was the nonparametric Chi-square test. Results: A total of 750 students were involved, and the same number of questioner collected in both methods, 12 questionnaires have been excluded six from the conventional and six from the animation either the student did not answer, or the questionnaire is not readable. Data from 738 questionnaires were available (369 conventional and 369 animations). Overall, the statistical analysis show proximate result for both groups of methods was noticed with each to have merit and demerit. Conclusions: Oral health education and motivation is part of the dentistry, and the dental team work, the animation or the conventional method both have been noticed to be effective in delivering the relevant information the children must know about the oral health.

Background In Saudi Arabia, cardiovascular diseases are among the top causes of death and disability, and smoking is one of the leading risk factors, particularly among males. Objective Our study aims to evaluate the compliance with the anti-smoking law among cigarette retailers and examine the visibility of cigarette retailers around educational facilities in Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia. Methods We conducted a mapping survey and geospatial analysis of cigarette retailers around educational facilities from February to March 2020 (before the COVID-19 restriction) in Al-Olaya municipality in Riyadh city as a pilot study. We found 249 retailers, of which 152 sold cigarettes. Data analyses in ArcMap 10.6 compared the visibility within 250 and 500 meters from educational facilities. Results We found many retailers were not compliant with the tobacco control regulation: 57.1% of minimarkets sell cigarettes, 15.8% of cigarette retailers display the products openly, and 12.5% of cigarette retailers sold cigarettes by the stick. Moreover, 71% of the total cigarette retailers were within 500 m from schools, and 62% of all schools had at least one cigarette retailer within 500 m buffer (5-min walking or 2–3-min driving distance). Conclusion There is non-compliance with the anti-smoking law among cigarette retailers and high visibility of cigarette retailers around educational facilities in Saudi Arabia. Monitoring is needed for the effective implementation of tobacco control policies.

The Global Youth Tobacco Survey: 2001–2002 in Riyadh region, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Abdullah Mohammed Al-Bedah1, Naseem Akhtar Qureshi21Arabian Center for Tobacco Control, 2General Administration for Medical Research and Mental Health and Social Services, Ministry of Health, Riyadh, Saudi ArabiaBackground: Tobacco use is a major public health problem, and its prevalence is globally increasing, especially among children and adolescents.Objective: The Global Youth Tobacco Survey aimed to explore the epidemiological trends and risk factors of tobacco smoking among intermediate school boys in Riyadh region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.Method: A two-stage cluster sample design was used to produce a representative sample of male students from selected schools. The participants (n = 1830) self recorded their responses on the Global Youth Tobacco Survey questionnaire.Results: Lifetime prevalence of cigarette smoking was 35%, while 13% of students currently used other tobacco products. About 16% of students currently smoked at home, and 84% of students bought cigarettes without any refusal from storekeepers. Thirty-one percent and 39% of students were exposed to secondhand tobacco smoke inside and outside the house, respectively, which was definitely or probably harmful to health as opined by 87% of participants, and 74% voiced to ban smoking from public places. Among current smokers, 69% intended (without attempt) to quit and 63% attempted (but failed) to quit during the past year. Almost an equal number of students saw antismoking and prosmoking media messages in the last month, and 28% of students were offered free cigarettes by a tobacco company representative. In schools, more than 50% of students were taught about the dangers of cigarette smoking in the last year. Smoking by parents, older brothers, and close friends, watching prosmoking cigarette advertisements, free offer of cigarettes by tobacco company representatives, perception of smoking being not harmful, and continuing smoking which can be easily quit significantly increased the odds of smoking by students.Conclusion: The common use of tobacco in school populations needs to be addressed by, among other tobacco control measures, a strict ban on cigarette selling to minors and intensive regular tobacco control campaigns involving health and religious messages.Keywords: tobacco use, secondhand tobacco smoke, environmental tobacco smoke, intermediate school boys, Global Youth Tobacco Survey, Saudi Arabia

The economic burden of chronic heart failure (HF) is well characterized in Developed markets but is not well understood in the Middle East (ME) despite high prevalence of heart diseases. The objective of this study is to estimate the healthcare resources (HCR) and direct costs of HF care in three Middle Eastern countries: Egypt (EG), Saudi Arabia (SA) and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Survey questionnaire was developed and used in interview with leading heart failure specialists, cardiologists and/or clinical pharmacists in each country to collect HCR and costs from their respective institutions in both private and public sectors. HCR (diagnostics, physician visits, medications, inpatient admission, ER, invasive procedures) used in routine management of their HF patients were included. National cost of HF was estimated by summing the total cost of HF in each sector, and was used to calculate the average annual cost per patient. Given the lack of epidemiology data on HF in the region, we used the US prevalence rate of 2.4% in >20 years population adjusted for age distribution in the three ME countries. Costs were in local currency and converted to Unites States Dollars (USD) using current exchange rates for respective currencies. An estimated 1.35 million patients are being treated for HF (EG=931,135; SA=320,933; UAE=93,865). The total estimated costs is US $ 1.92 Billion (EG=$0.356B; SA=$1.045B; UAE=$0.519B). Annual per-patient costs was highest in UAE followed by SA and EG (US $13,836; $8,137; $850, respectively). Inpatient admission cost was the major cost driver ranging from 25% to 56%. In absence of health insurance claims databases that can be used to quantify the national cost of HF in ME countries, the interview method used indicates that HF is a costly disease with inpatient admission costs being the key cost driver.

HOSTILE WEAPONS aren't the only threat to the forces arrayed against Iraq in this fateful first month of 1991. For nearly 6 months, US military physicians, dental personnel, nurses, and corpsmen have been applying preventive and therapeutic measures against more than a score of potential environmental illness or injury threats. The fact that none of these threats has put any appreciable number of US military people out of action, physicians say, is a tribute to the unit commanders' and the troops' understanding of and compliance with primary preventive measures. Richard A. Mayo, MD, a US Navy captain who commands Fleet Hospital 5 somewhere in Saudi Arabia, attributes this in large part to today's "well educated, well disciplined" all-volunteer US military forces. Both James A. Zimble, MD, the vice admiral who is surgeon general of the US Navy, and Frank F. Ledford, Jr, MD, the lieutenant general who is surgeon general

In Brief Investigated The implementation of information systems and the creation of an open culture, characterized by emphasis on patient safety and problem solving, are 2 means suggested to improve health care quality. This study examines the effects of use of information technology and focus on patient safety and problem solving on the visibility of patient care errors. Subjects and methods A survey of nurses in Saudi Arabia is analyzed by means of factor analysis and multiregression analysis to examine nurses' use of information technology and culture in controlling errors. Results and conclusions Our research suggests that greater use of information technology to control patient care errors may reduce the prevalence of such errors while an increased focus on patient safety and problem solving facilitates an open environment where errors can be more openly discussed and addressed. The use of technology appears to have a role in decreasing errors. Yet, an organization that focuses on problem solving and patient safety can open lines of communication and create a culture in which errors can be discussed and resolved.

To examine the pathway in which health literacy affects diabetic patients' quality of life (QoL) with self-care management skills and glycemic control levels (hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c]) mediating the relationship.A cross-sectional study carried out between April 2019 and September 2019. A convenience sample of participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus were recruited from 3 primary healthcare centers, Al Ahsa, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected using structured interviews and HbA1c levels were collected from medical files. Structural equation modeling was also used.Among the 256 participants, 27.3% had a marginal level of health literacy and 35.5% had an inadequate level of health literacy. Health literacy positively affects self-care management, glycemic control (HbA1c), and QoL directly and indirectly. Self-care management partially mediates this relationship.Healthcare providers need to assess health literacy and develop interventions that enhance diabetic patients' health literacy because it influences self-care management skills, glycemic control, and patients' QoL. Health literacy should be considered as a key for health education and healthcare encounter to improve health outcomes.

A major concern by the health decision makers in Gulf Cooperative Council (GCC) countries is the burden of financing healthcare. While other GCC countries have been examining different options, Saudi Arabia has endeavoured to reform its private healthcare system and control expatriate access to government resources through the provision of Compulsory Employment-Based Health Insurance (CEBHI). The objective of this research was to investigate, in a natural setting, the characteristics of uninsured expatriates based on their personal and workplace characteristics.Using a cross-sectional survey, data were collected from a sample of 4,575 male expatriate employees using a multi-stage stratified cluster sampling technique. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize all variables, and the dependent variable was tabulated by access to health insurance and tested using Chi-square. Logistic analysis was performed, guided by the conceptual model.Of survey respondents, 30% were either uninsured or not yet enrolled in a health insurance scheme, 79.4% of these uninsured expatriates did not have valid reasons for being uninsured, with Iqama renewal accounting for 20.6% of the uninsured. The study found both personal and workplace characteristics were important factors influencing health insurance status. Compared with single expatriates, married expatriates (accompanied by their families) are 30% less likely to be uninsured. Moreover, workers occupying technical jobs requiring high school level of education or above were two-thirds more likely to be insured compared to unskilled workers. With regard to firm size, respondents employed in large companies (more than 50 employees) are more likely to be insured compared to those employed in small companies (less than ten employees). In relation to business type, the study found that compared to workers from the agricultural sector, industrial/manufacturing, construction and trading sectors, workers were, respectively, 76%, 85%, and 60% less likely to be uninsured.Although the CEBHI is mandatory, this study found that the characteristics of uninsured expatriates, in respect of their personal and workplace characteristics have similarities with the uninsured from other private employment-sponsored health insurance schemes. Other factors influencing access to health insurance, besides employee and workplace characteristics, include the development and extent of the country's insurance industry.

The purpose of this exploratory study is to provide an overview on the state of Public health informatics (PHI) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The study defines PHI and discusses the current status and future challenges which face the Saudi health system. Data collection methods included interviews with public health and PHI experts, and database search, using relevant keyword terms in PubMed. Results of this research show that public health information systems (PHIS) are not well-developed to deliver efficient health care in Saudi Arabia. There are several challenges that need to be addressed with the implementation of PHIS such as the need for readiness assessment, resistant to change, integration of systems, and confidentiality and privacy of health information. Future challenges include profiling users, developing a national PHIS and monitoring the impact of PHIS on healthcare outcomes need to be addressed.

The Saudi health sector has witnessed a significant progress in recent decades with some Saudi hospitals receiving international recognition. However, this progress has not been accompanied by the same advancement in the health informatics field whose applications have become a necessity for hospitals in order to achieve important objectives such as enhancing the quality of healthcare and reducing the time and cost for healthcare delivery. In this paper we introduce a new masters program in Health Informatics in a newly founded Saudi university specialized in health sciences. The program, which is the first of its kind in Saudi Arabia and the region, was designed based on the recommendations of the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA). The program has gone through the first assessment with the help of the first group of graduates. The results are presented in this paper.

Background: The misuse of Antibiotics has become a major public health issue all over the globe. In Saudi Arabia precisely, drug selling without a medical physician prescription and other factors may influence this practice of antibiotic misuse.
Objective: Our focal point is to review the published Saudi literatures on the antibiotic misuse in Saudi Arabia. To assess the factors contributing to this problem, its effects and the intervention strategies used in the reduction of this problem.
Methods: Saudi literatures in English language about antibiotic misuse from January 2002 to end of December 2015 were explored via a web-based medical database. Articles concerned with the prevalence of antibiotic misuse, factors contributing to this problem among Saudi population, its impacts, and intervention strategies used in reducing this problem were reviewed.
Results: The literature demonstrated a high prevalence of antibiotic misuse among Saudi population ranging from 41%-92%, especially among the children. The reasons of this high prevalence are complex, and several contributing factors including cultural factors, behavioral characteristics, socio-economic status, and level of education.
Conclusion: This review concentrates on the magnitude of this major health problems in Saudi health system. Which lead to more nosocomial infection, high cost and antibiotics resistance. Many intervention strategies need to apply in order to reduce this issue.

Abstract Background Hospitals and healthcare institutions should be observant of the ever-changing environment and be adaptive to learning practices. By adopting the steps and other components of organizational learning, healthcare institutions can convert themselves into learning organizations and ultimately strengthen the overall healthcare system of the country. The present study aimed to examine the influence of several organizational learning dimensions on organization culture in healthcare settings during the COVID-19 outbreak. Methods During COVID-19 crisis in 2020, an online cross-sectional study was performed. Data were collected via official emails sent to 1500 healthcare professionals working in front line at four sets of hospitals in Saudi Arabia. Basic descriptive analysis was constructed to identify the variation between the four healthcare organizations. A multiple regression was employed to explore how hospitals can adopt learning process during pandemics, incorporating several Dimensions of Learning Organizations Questionnaire (DLOQ) developed by Marsick and Watkins (2003) and Leufvén and others (2015). Results Organizational learning including system connections (M = 3.745), embedded systems (M = 3.732), and team work and collaborations (M = 3.724) tended to have major significant relationships with building effective learning organization culture. Staff empowerment, dialogues and inquiry, internal learning culture, and continuous learning had the lowest effect on building health organization culture (M = 3.680, M = 3.3.679, M = 3.673, M = 3.663, respectively). A multiple linear regression was run to predict learning organization based on the several variables. These variables statistically significantly predicted learning organization, F (6, 1124) = 168.730, p < .0005, R 2 = 0.471, ( p < .05). Discussion The findings concluded that although intrinsic factors like staff empowerment, dialogues and inquiry, and internal learning culture, revealed central roles, still the most crucial factors toward the development of learning organization culture were extrinsic ones including connections, embed system and collaborations. Conclusions Until knowledge-sharing is embedded in health organizational systems; organizations may not maintain a high level of learning during crisis.

This study was conducted to develop an instructional programme on sickle cell anaemia (SCA) and test the effect of the programme on the secondary school students’ knowledge of and attitude towards sickle cell anaemia in the Jazan region of Saudi Arabia. A pretest/posttest one-arm interventional study was conducted at the Faculty of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, Jazan University, with a convenience sample of 120 male students. The intervention consisted of two interactive sessions about sickle cell anaemia and premarital screening. The mean student knowledge score was 6.04 ± 3.02 on the pretest, which improved to 10.73 ± 3.47 on the posttest, with a statistically significant difference (t = 15.2, p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the responses pertaining to attitude before and after the health education intervention. The policy implications of these findings are discussed to improve the performance of the Saudi healthcare system in dealing with this costly inherited disease.

Healthcare payers are increasingly adopting managed entry agreements (MEAs) between themselves and manufacturers, to overcome the challenge of sustaining access in an era of innovative and high-cost medicines. This study aims to investigate current MEA activity in Saudi Arabia and explore the challenges encountered when implementing such agreements.An explanatory sequential mixed-methods approach was used. Quantitative data on MEAs were collected, followed by qualitative semi-structured interviews with different stakeholders.Our questionnaire garnered responses from 18 pharmaceutical companies from 3 different continents and identified 25 agreements in Saudi Arabia since 2010. Financial-based agreements were more prevalent than outcomes-based agreements at 44% versus 32%, respectively. Stakeholders showed positive attitudes toward MEAs, valuing their benefits in facilitating market access for both costly and innovative medicines. The main challenges included data availability, administrative and financial burden, lack of expertise, confidentiality, and lack of clear regulations.Despite clear implementation challenges, a growing tendency toward MEAs exists in Saudi Arabia because of the potential benefits they bring to patients, healthcare providers, payers, and manufacturers. It is believed that the newly established health technology assessment center in Saudi Arabia will bring more clarity and shape the concept of MEAs in the country.

The Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, is one of the largest annual mass gatherings in the world, and has a strong impact on international public health. This paper presents an overview from a systematic search of the published literature on health risks and services in the Hajj for 2005-2014, with the aim of providing health policy recommendations to prevent health risks. Of the 335 studies initially identified, 60 met the inclusion criteria for the review. Studies identified were diverse in methodology and focus. The results were classified into 3 main categories: communicable diseases, noncommunicable diseases and health services. Although, improvement was observed throughout the years, there are always new public health challenges in each Hajj season. There is a need to improve health management of the Hajj, particularly by strengthening international collaboration.مسائل صحية في الحج: استعراضٌ للأدبيات.مي الدوسري، عبد الله الجودي، ديفيد شيلينتانو.يُعدّ الحج إلى مكة المكرمة، بالمملكة العربية السعودية، أحد أكبر التجمعات الحاشدة السنوية في العالم، وله تأثير قوي على الصحة العامة الدولية. وتقدم هذه المقالة نظرة عامة من واقع بحث منهجي في الأدبيات المنشورة عن المخاطر والخدمات الصحية في الحج خلال الفترة من 2005 إلى 2014، بهدف تقديم توصيات تتعلق بالسياسات الصحية من أجل الوقاية من المخاطر الصحية. ومن بين 335 دراسة حُدِّدت في البداية، توفرت معايير الشمول بالاستعراض في 60 دراسة. وكانت الدراسات المُحدَّدة متنوعة من حيث المنهجية والتركيز. وصُنِّفت النتائج إلى ثلاث فئات رئيسية، ألا وهي: الأمراض السارية، والأمراض غير السارية، والخدمات الصحية. وعلى الرغم من التحسن الملحوظ على مر السنين، توجد دائماً تحديات جديدة تتعلق بالصحة العامة في كل موسم حج. وتوجد حاجة إلى تحسين إدارة الشؤون الصحية في الحج، لا سيما من خلال تعزيز التعاون الدولي.Problèmes de santé pendant le pèlerinage du Hadj : examen de la littérature.Le pèlerinage du Hadj à La Mecque, en Arabie saoudite, l’un des plus grands rassemblements de masse annuels au monde, a un fort impact sur la santé publique internationale. Le présent article présente une vue d’ensemble à partir d’une recherche systématique dans la littérature publiée sur les risques sanitaires et les services de santé durant le Hadj pour la période 2005-2014, dans le but de fournir des recommandations de politique sanitaire en vue de prévenir les risques sanitaires. Sur les 335 études identifiées initialement, 60 répondaient aux critères d’inclusion fixés pour l’examen. Les études recensées étaient diverses sur le plan de la méthodologie et de l’orientation. Les résultats sont classés en trois grandes catégories : maladies transmissibles, maladies non transmissibles et services de santé. Bien que des améliorations aient été observées au fil des années, il existe toujours de nouveaux défis de santé publique à chaque saison du Hadj. Il est nécessaire d’améliorer la gestion sanitaire du Hadj, en particulier en renforçant la collaboration internationale.

The viral diseases are a malign condition in the world from 2001 to 2020. The human novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was an initial identification in Wuhan, China in December 2019. The major objective is to critically review the present situation of coronavirus in the world. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) in 2001, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in 2012 and the COVID-19 in 2019 had serious effects in human life in China, Saudi Arabia, and China, respectively. The COVID-19 is a highly mutated virus for the human population in 2020. This review study reveals the host of the virus, history, characteristics, preventive measure, treatment, effects and the epidemic situation in the world.

(1) Background: Inappropriate use of antimicrobials and subsequently rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remains a major public health priority. Over-prescribing of broad-spectrum antibiotics is one of the main contributing factors for the emergence of AMR. We sought to describe antimicrobial prescribing trends among patients in public hospitals in Makkah hospitals. (2) Method: We undertook a point prevalence survey (PPS) in six hospitals in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, from January 2019 to July 2019. The survey included all the inpatients receiving antimicrobials on the day of PPS. Data was collected using the Global point prevalence survey (PPS) tool developed by the University of Antwerp, Belgium. (3) Results: Of 710 hospitalized patients, 447 patients (61.9%) were treated with one or more antimicrobials during the study period. The average bed occupancy among six hospitals was 74.4%. The majority of patients received antimicrobials parenterally (90.3%). Of the total prescribed antimicrobials, 415 (53.7%) antimicrobials were used in medical departments, 183 (23.7%) in surgical departments, and 175 (22.6%) in ICUs. Pneumonia (17.3%), skin and soft tissue infections (10.9%), and sepsis (6.6.%) were three common clinical indications. Ceftriaxones were the most commonly used antibiotics that were prescribed in 116 (15%) of patients, followed by piperacillin, with an enzyme inhibitor in 84 (10.9%). (4) Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of antibiotic use in the hospitals of Makkah, which could be a potential risk factor for the incidence of resistant strains, particularly MRSA infection. Public health decision-makers should take these findings into consideration to update national policies for antibiotic use in order to reduce the risks of further increases of AMR.

Abstract Background Action on social determinants of health (SDH) in primary health care settings is constrained by practitioners, organizational, and contextual factors. The aim of this study is to identify barriers and enablers for addressing SDH in clinical settings in Saudi Arabia, taking into consideration the influence of local cultural and social norms, to improve care and support for marginalized and underserved patients. Methods We conducted a qualitative study involving individual in-depth interviews with a sample of 17 primary health care physicians purposefully selected based on the inclusion criteria, as well as a focus group with four social workers, all recruited from King Khalid University Hospital (KKUH) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. All interviews were audio-recorded, translated from Arabic to English, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using thematic analysis following a deductive-inductive approach. Results According to study participants, financial burdens, challenges in familial dynamics, mental health issues and aging population difficulties were common social problems in Saudi primary health care. Action on SDH in primary care was hindered by 1) lack of physician knowledge or training; 2) organizational barriers including time constraints, patient referral/follow up; 3) patient cultural norms and 4) lack of awareness of physician’s role in managing SDH. Enablers to more socially accountable care suggested by participants includes: 1) more education and training on addressing SDH in clinical care; 2) organizational innovations to streamline identification of SDH during patient encounters (e.g. case finding questionnaire completed in waiting room); 3) better interprofessional coordination and clarification of roles (e.g. when to refer to social work, what support is provided by physicians); 4) identifying opportunities for broader advocacy to improve living conditions for marginalized groups. Conclusion Enabling more socially accountable care requires a multipronged approach including leadership from the Ministry of Health, hospital administrations and medical schools. In particular, there is a need for: 1) training physicians to help patients in navigating social challenges; 2) improving clinical/administrative interprofessional teams, 3) mobilizing local communities in addressing social challenges; and 4) advocating for intersectoral action to prevent health inequities before they become more complex issues presenting to clinical care.

The elderly population is one of the most vulnerable population during the COVID-19 pandemic. Loneliness and isolation as a result of quarantine has detrimental mental health issues in elderly population. There is a high chance of increased rates of suicide in elderly population as a result of isolation. Interventional strategies such as online social support, online mental health services, and telemedicines should be utilized to reduce the impending mental health issues in elderly population due to isolation during quarantine. The current COVID-19 pandemic has quickly spread its root all over the globe in very short span. With no proper treatment, advice about isolating the most vulnerable population, which is that of the elderly individuals has been made. However, with isolation comes a lot of other mental health issues which the current study attempted to highlight. The elderly population has been advised to be kept under isolation globally for a long time to come, while the world is reeling with the negative consequences of COVID-19. The reason behind this push is to unburden the already taxed health care system, while the world finds to contain effectively the COVID-19 through lockdowns, social distancing, social isolation and curfews as the medical breakthrough is not in the sight yet virtually. The population in its late-adulthood is already at increased risk of autoimmune, mental health, and neuro-cognitive problems and hence social isolation is a vitally significant interest of public health.1 A recent study by Santini and his colleagues reported that at late adulthood social isolation has a more considerable risk of anxiety and depression.2 The directive from the government to the older adults for staying at home and self-isolation merits vigorous research input to illuminate the consequent physical and mental health complications. The resultant consequences will be more for elderly whose only contact is at the church or outside of the house at community centers or dependent upon voluntary services. The social seclusion will place them at an increased risk alongside those who are already isolated and lonely.3 During the previous SARS-CoV-1 outbreak of 2003 around 300 people died in Hong Kong. Out of the 15% fatality rate, 55% of the death cases were of people older than 60 years.4 It was observed that a lot of elderly people suffered not merely with physical health issues, but also with mental health issues like anxiety and fear during the epidemic.5 Not only that but a significant increase in suicide rates in the elderly population was equally found. A study conducted by Cheung et al.,6 during the SARS-CoV-1 outbreak, in Hong Kong, they assessed the prevalence of suicide in the elder population. Their findings suggested an excess in the suicide rate of older adults during the SARS-CoV-1 epidemic of 2003.6 Similar results were observed during the MERS-CoV outbreak of 2012 as well. In a study conducted by Ahmed,7 utilizing publicly available data of the Saudi Ministry of Health. A total of 1480 cases was reported in Saudi Arabia between the periods of 2012–2016 with a 41% mortality rate. He assessed that out of 616 total deaths 39.2% was of the elderly population (>60 years), while the average age of death was 54 years.7 His research along with many other researches on MERS-CoV, also identified several potential high-risk key factors and the elderly population was one of them. One avenue we suggest to explore is the informed use of online social technology to provide for networking, social support, an aided sense of belonging and social touch.8 There will be some glitches like digital literacy and hand on experience with technology. Another promising feature could be the encouragement of telephonic contacts with friends, family and significant others, professional from health care, voluntary organizations, and community support providers throughout the social seclusion period. Equivalently, we also recommend that the mental health professional can be mobilized to deliver cognitive behavior therapies online to mitigate the corrosive impacts of loneliness and enhance mental health.9 Social isolation measure could be followed smoothly at the beginning and for shorter durations and might enhance the capacity of our health care system to contain the spread and save the high-risk populations, but adherence in the long term would be difficult and decrease over extended periods. Another additional intervention can be the use of telemedicine services which can be of considerable help to take care of the older adults during their isolation. By applying this service, the healthcare professionals can stay in contact with the elderly isolated people online.10 This can keep the health professionals up to date about the physical medical conditions such as myocardial infection, strokes, pulmonary disorders or other high-risk conditions of the elderly patients of theirs. Through this paper we attempt to recommend a proactive approach to introduce a practical policy which can help avoid the morbidity of SARS-CoV-2 with other physical and mental health complications. The marginalized and disadvantaged populations will be considerably affected and hence the situation demands preventive strategies be implemented to target these vulnerable groups in the society. None declared. The research is a letter to the editor and no empirical data was collected for the particular research.

<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> The first case of COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia was confirmed on March 3, 2020. Saudi Arabia, like many other countries worldwide, implemented lockdown of most public and private services in response to the pandemic and established population movement restrictions nationwide. With the implementation of these strict mitigation regulations, technology and digital solutions have enabled the provision of essential services. </sec> <sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> The aim of this paper is to highlight how Saudi Arabia has used digital technology during the COVID-19 pandemic in the domains of public health, health care services, education, telecommunication, commerce, and risk communication. </sec> <sec> <title>METHODS</title> We documented the use of digital technology in Saudi Arabia during the pandemic using publicly available official announcements, press briefings and releases, news clips, published data, peer-reviewed literature, and professional discussions. </sec> <sec> <title>RESULTS</title> Saudi Arabia’s government and private sectors combined developed and launched approximately 19 apps and platforms that serve public health functions and provide health care services. A detailed account of each is provided. Education processes continued using an established electronic learning infrastructure with a promising direction toward wider adoption in the future. Telecommunication companies exhibited smooth collaboration as well as innovative initiatives to support ongoing efforts. Risk communication activities using social media, websites, and SMS text messaging followed best practice guides. </sec> <sec> <title>CONCLUSIONS</title> The Saudi Vision 2030 framework, released in 2017, has paved the path for digital transformation. COVID-19 enabled the promotion and testing of this transition. In Saudi Arabia, the use of artificial intelligence in integrating different data sources during future outbreaks could be further explored. Also, decreasing the number of mobile apps and merging their functions could increase and facilitate their use. </sec>

Abstract Background Human hygiene behaviours influence the transmission of infectious diseases. Changing maladaptive hygiene habits has the potential to improve public health. Parents and teachers can play an important role in disinfecting surface areas and in helping children develop healthful handwashing habits. The current study aims to inform a future intervention that will help parents and teachers take up this role using a theoretically and empirically informed behaviour change model called the Capabilities-Opportunities-Motivations-Behaviour (COM-B) model. Methods A cross-sectional online survey was designed to measure participants’ capabilities, opportunities, and motivations to [1] increase their children’s handwashing with soap and [2] increase their cleaning of surface areas. Additional items captured how often participants believed their children washed their hands. The final survey was administered early in the coronavirus pandemic (May and June 2020) to 3975 participants from Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. Participants self-identified as mums, dads, or teachers of children 5 to 10 years old. ANOVAs analyses were used to compare participant capabilities, opportunities, and motivations across countries for handwashing and surface disinfecting. Multiple regressions analyses were conducted for each country to assess the predictive relationship between the COM-B components and children’s handwashing. Results The ANOVA analyses revealed that India had the lowest levels of capability, opportunity, and motivation, for both hand hygiene and surface cleaning. The regression analyses revealed that for Australia, Indonesia, and South Africa, the capability component was the only significant predictor of children’s handwashing. For India, capability and opportunity were significant. For the United Kingdom, capability and motivation were significant. Lastly, for Saudi Arabia all components were significant. Conclusions The discussion explores how the Behaviour Change Wheel methodology could be used to guide further intervention development with community stakeholders in each country. Of the countries assessed, India offers the greatest room for improvement, and behaviour change techniques that influence people’s capability and opportunities should be prioritised there.

This study aimed to explore the health beliefs and patterns of dietary supplement usage among fitness center members. This cross-sectional study was conducted in four large indoor fitness centers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This study involved male fitness center members aged ≥18 years with no speech or hearing disabilities. In-person interviews were conducted with fitness center members who agreed to participate using a newly developed questionnaire. Information on participants’ sociodemographics (e.g., age and education), smoking status, health status, exercise frequency, average time spent exercising, different supplements used, used supplements sources, and health beliefs regarding dietary supplements were obtained. A total of 445 fitness center members agreed to participate, and 198 of them reported taking dietary supplements. Most participants were between the age of 18 and 25 years (66%), had a college degree (74%), non-smokers (77%), healthy (84%), and perform exercise at least thrice weekly (52%) for at least 1 hour (63%). The percentage of participants who had favorable health views on dietary supplements was significantly higher among the supplement users than among the non-users (P<0.0001). Proteins, multivitamins, amino acids, and omega 3 fatty acids were the most commonly reported supplements used. Almost 30% of the supplement users reported buying them overseas, 28% online, 25% from a pharmacy or supplement store, 19% from a medical clinic, and 17% from peddlers. Public health campaigns are needed to educate the public on the potential harmful effects of supplements if purchased from an unofficial seller or taken without seeking medical advice before using them.

Misuse of antibiotics in children is a major public health problem which may lead to increase antibiotic resistance in paediatric population. This study aims to evaluate parents’ knowledge and attitude toward antibiotic use in children with upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) in the Western region of Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional study was conducted using self-administered questionnaire on parents of school children. Statistical analysis was used to identify factors affecting parents’ knowledge and attitude toward antibiotic use. Of the 820 respondents, almost 98% agreed that misuse of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance, and almost 74% stated that antibiotics are not useful for viral infections. However, 32.3% claimed that antibiotics can enhance the recovery from viral infections. Knowledge was better in Saudi than non-Saudi parents (p=0.001), parents with higher educational levels (p=0.00008), parents with higher monthly incomes (p=0.0001), and parents of children in private and international schools (p=0.0001). Almost 35% reported self-prescription of antibiotics for their children at least once, and about 13% self-prescribed leftover antibiotics. Positive attitude was reported in parents with high monthly income (p=0.0001), and parents whose children were in private or international schools (p=0.0001). There was no significant relation between positive attitude and parents’ nationality (p=0.114), nor educational levels (p=0.734). Good knowledge and positive attitude toward antibiotic use in children were reported in the Western region of Saudi Arabia. Future studies may be required to compare the current data to those after the ban of uncontrolled antibiotic prescription and dispensing in Saudi Arabia. Key words: antibiotic, misuse, knowledge, attitude, Saudi Arabia, antimicrobial resistance, upper respiratory tract, infection.

National policies and government strategies in Saudi Arabia are adequate for the promotion of community involvement in health development (CIH). The system of government is decentralized and has ample scope for intersectorial cooperation. In Ha'il and Qasim regions active efforts are being made to realize intersectorial coordination through regional committees in which community leaders are involved; unfortunately, however, such mechanisms are lacking at the central level. Decision-makers and community leaders adequately recognized and interpreted the importance of CIH. Most of the respondents advocated community participation in planning and evaluation, while less than 50% thought that communities could participate in the implementation of health services. A survey in Ha'il and Qasim regions of 2417 residents indicated that community participation in health activities was in its infancy and that considerable effort is still needed at the central, regional, and peripheral levels to achieve meaningful community involvement in health.

The burden of drug-related problems (DRPs) is becoming an issue of healthcare concern. It has been responsible for many intensive care unit (ICU) admissions and emergency department (ED) visits in Saudi Arabia. We aim to summarise available data on ED visits and ICU admissions linked to DRPs in Saudi Arabia and provide recommendations for preventive measures. A systematic search of the literature was conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar databases to identify eligible studies. The review included research on ED visits and ICU admissions linked to DRPs performed in Saudi Arabia from the database’s inception to January 2020. Study selection, data extraction and assessment were performed based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and MetaAnalysis (PRISMA) guidelines. The initial search of literature generated 267 articles. After the study selection, 15 articles met our eligibility criteria and were included in the review. The commonly implicated DRPs were adverse drug reactions, medication non-adherence, drug overdose and drug interactions. Central nervous system drugs and cardiovascular drugs were the most frequently involved drugs. Most of these visits resulted in moderate harm. The prevalence of DRPs associated with ED visits and ICU admissions is high in Saudi Arabia. Sixteen out of a hundred ED visits and ICU admissions are related to DRPs. Therefore, the Saudi government should implement interventions to improve the awareness of rational drug use in the general public.

Abstract Objective This study evaluated medical interns' oral health knowledge, and other factors influencing their ability and willingness to perform oral‐health‐related practices for high‐caries‐risk children. Methods A 15‐item survey was emailed to all eligible graduating fifth‐year medical students at King Khalid University Hospital to address these areas of interest. Chi‐square statistics and logistic regression models were used to analyse data. Results One‐hundred and twenty‐one (49%) usable surveys were returned from two mailings. On questions regarding comfort levels when performing oral‐health‐related practices on children under age 3, physicians noted high levels of comfort with all specified oral health practices. Regarding satisfaction of students with medical training, the majority of respondents (87.5%) rated their medical training as fair or poor in preparing them for oral health assessments compared to only 35%, 29% and 7% of respondents giving fair or poor ratings to child abuse identification, caring for special needs patients and primary care paediatric practice, respectively. Additionally, although 90% of respondents noted that the role of primary physicians in counselling/referring children with oral health was important, 60% did not agree with the AAPD and AAP guidelines that state that all children should be referred to a dentist by 12 months of age. Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed several statistically significant variables that predict the likelihood of performing various oral‐health‐related practices. The choice of public‐health‐oriented future clinical goals, the level of oral health knowledge, how interns rated their oral health training in medical school and the average number of children seen per week, all – to varying degrees – proved important predicator variables for the likelihood of performing them once in practice. Conclusions More oral‐health‐related training of medical students seems warranted and could improve their interest in providing oral‐health‐related screening and referrals in practice. Increasing student exposure to child patients and increasing exposures to oral health knowledge and problems could be targeted towards students interested in primary care and public health to use resources most efficiently in the effort to combat the growing caries levels amongst young children in Saudi Arabia.

The Saudi Ministry of Health (MOH) established a National School-Based Screening Program (NSBSP) for health screening of schoolchildren. Students from specific grades were systematically screened for several health problems, including obesity, visual and auditory problems, dental cavities, scoliosis, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the prevalence of these health problems among primary school students based on secondary data obtained from the NSBSP. We included 444,259 screened school children from the first and fourth grades of 50% of the selected schools (both private and public) across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) during the academic year 2018-2019. Among them, the most prevalent health problems identified were dental cavities (38.7%), eye refractory errors (10.9%), and overweight and obesity (10.5%); the less prevalent problems included ADHD (2.81%), auditory problems (0.6%), and scoliosis (0.48%). A greater prevalence of most health problems was observed in girls more than boys. The NSBSP successfully aided the detection of health conditions with high and low prevalence among primary school students in the KSA, and thus, the identification of health problems of specific concern. Implementation of effective school health services for the prevention, early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of these health problems are imperative.

The levels of knowledge, attitude and practice among primary physicians concerning both diabetic retinopathy screening and treatment of sight threatening diabetic retinopathy have been studied by different groups, such as medical students, pharmacists, Primary Health Care staff and opticians. In some studies, the levels were very high, while in others it was noted to be less than desired. This study’s intent is to estimate and improve level of Knowledge (K), Attitude (A) and Practice (P) among non-ophthalmic health care providers regarding eye management of diabetes and barriers that people with diabetes face in Saudi Arabia. This cross-sectional survey targeted medical doctors (except ophthalmologists) working at private sector institutions in Riyadh. They were interviewed using closed-ended questions for knowledge (8), attitude (5), practice (5), and reasons for their current KAP status comprised of 8 questions. The level of Knowledge was assessed as good if its score was (> 50%); positive attitude (> 50%) and excellent practice (> 75%) were estimated and associated to the risk factors. Out of the 355 participants that were interviewed, the percentages of good knowledge, positive attitude and excellent practice concerning diabetic retinopathy (DR)were 193 [54.3% (95% CI 49.2–59.5)], 111 [31.3% (95% CI 26.4–36.1)], and 145 [40.8% (95% CI 35.7–46.0) participants, respectively. Gender, place of work and type of doctor were not significantly associated with the level of KAP. Salient reasons for low KAP status included a busy schedule (54.6%), less resources (75.2%), inadequate periodic training in eye care (69%), and absence of retinal evaluation training (49.6%). Improving KAP level is urgently needed. Addressing underlying causes of low KAP could enhance eye care of people with diabetes. Additionally, training for primary health care providers for early detection of DR and timely management of sight threatening diabetic retinopathy (STDR) is necessary.

Cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of mortality and disability worldwide. This study aimed to assess knowledge of cardiovascular disease and risk factors among the adult population in the south region of Saudi Arabia. A web-based cross-sectional survey of 1,049 participants was completed during August 2021. Data were collected by using 25-item heart disease fact questionnaire. The study population included 526 men (50.1%) and 523 women (49.9%) with a mean age of 36 ± 12 years. The average total knowledge score was 65.7 ± 20.80. The items with the highest knowledge were smoking, overweight, aging, high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, and family history. Findings revealed that knowledge regarding cardiovascular diseases is inadequate with a high prevalence of risk factors among the Saudi Arabian population. Healthcare professionals and organizations have a crucial role in raising public awareness regarding health promotion, regular screening, and lifestyles modifications. Interventional studies are needed to investigate the actual magnitude of CVDs and counteract them.

Insomnia, a common sleep disorder, is a public health concern, as it can lead to physical and mental exhaustion. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of insomnia and the common associated risk factors among students at Jazan University, in the Jazan region of southwestern Saudi Arabia. An observational cross-sectional study was conducted among a sample of 712 students. A pre-designed, structured questionnaire was used to collect the relevant information pertaining to the study variables. The overall prevalence of insomnia in the study was 19.3%. There was no significant difference in prevalence between males and females (p-value = 0.5). Participants from health colleges had greater prevalence of insomnia than those from art and Islamic colleges and science colleges (p-value = 0.03). Symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress were significant risk factors for insomnia (p-value = 0.005, 0.000, 0.000, respectively). Insomnia is widely prevalent among Jazan University students. Symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress, together with a noisy environment around the sleeping area, are important correlates. Screening for mental illnesses among university students is highly recommended.

The tobacco use epidemic is one of the major global public health challenges and causes > 7 million deaths each year, including ~70 000 Saudis who die from smoking-related diseases.To present recent government initiatives in Saudi Arabia that have been designed to combat tobacco use in the country.This was a review based on secondary data sources such as published reports, articles in newspapers, and research studies published in various journals.We present initiatives taken from June 2017 to April 2019 by the Saudi government to combat tobacco use, including value-added tax on tobacco, antismoking campaigns, antismoking clinics, mobile apps and other initiatives.The study suggests that the government should evaluate the impact of these initiatives on tobacco control in Saudi Arabia.مكافحة تعاطي التبغ في المملكة العربية السعودية: استعراض للمبادرات الأخيرة.رامايا إتومالا، بدر الضمادي.يعد تعاطي التبغ من أكبر التحديات أمام الصحة العامة العالمية، إذ يتسبب في وفاة 7 ملايين شخص كل عام، من بينهم قرابة 70 ألف مواطن سعودي ممن يلقون حتفهم بسبب أمراض تتعلق بالتدخين كل عام.تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى عرض أحدث مبادرات حكومة المملكة العربية السعودية لمكافحة تعاطي التبغ داخل حدودها.استعرضت هذه الدراسة مصادر بيانات ثانوية، بما فيها تقارير منشورة، ومقالات صحفية، ودراسات بحثية منشورة في مجلات أكاديمية مختلفة. تم البحث في الأدبيات ذات الصلة المتعلقة بمكافحة التبغ في المملكة العربية السعودية من ثلاث قواعد بيانات علمية: PubMed و Scopus و Google Scholar من يناير إلى أبريل 2019.استعرضت الدراسة المبادرات التي اتخذتها حكومة المملكة العربية السعودية من يونيو/حزيران 2017 إلى أبريل/نيسان 2019 لمكافحة تعاطي التبغ، وتشمل فرض ضريبة المبيعات على التبغ، وحملات مكافحة التدخين، وعيادات مكافحة التدخين، وتطبيقات الهاتف من بين مبادرات أخرى.يُقترح أن تُري الحكومة تقييماً سليماً لأثر هذه المبادرات على مكافحة التبغ في البلد من أجل تقييم فاعليتها.Lutte contre le tabagisme en Arabie saoudite : examen des initiatives récentes.L’épidémie de tabagisme constitue l’un des défis majeurs de santé publique à l’échelle mondiale, avec plus de sept millions de décès par an, parmi lesquels environ 70 000 Saoudiens qui meurent chaque année de maladies liées au tabagisme.Présenter les initiatives récentes du gouvernement saoudien en matière de lutte antitabac.L’étude a passé en revue les sources de données secondaires, telles que les rapports publiés et les articles de journaux ainsi que les études de recherche parus dans différentes revues.Nous avons présenté les initiatives prises par le gouvernement saoudien entre juin 2017 et avril 2019 afin de lutter contre le tabagisme, notamment la mise en place d’une taxe sur la valeur ajoutée pour tabac, l’organisation de campagnes antitabac, l’ouverture de cliniques de sevrage tabagique et la création d’applications mobiles parmi d’autres initiatives.L’étude propose que le gouvernement examine rigoureusement l’impact de ces initiatives sur la lutte antitabac dans le pays afin d’évaluer leur efficacité.

A questionnaire was designed to find out the help-seeking behavior of the adult population in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Five hundred sixty-six responders suffered a disturbance of health during the 4 weeks preceding the study. The majority (77%) of these "sick responders," typically married and educated subjects, sought help of medically trained practitioners, mainly from primary health centers. One hundred twenty-one (21.4%) cases had specialist treatment, 79% of which were by self-referral. Ninety-six (17%) cases consulted local healers. A high proportion of the "sick responders" were unaware of their diagnoses after consulting their physicians (29.4%), local healers (33%), or pharmacists (43%). There is still a need to increase health education about correct use of the referral system.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a major health concern globally. While some risk factors for CVDs are non-modifiable, other determinants like obesity, hypertension, type-2 diabetes and dyslipidemia can be mitigated by a wide plethora of measures to control CVD morbidity and mortality. Those determinants have been on the rise in Saudi Arabia, exacerbated by sedentary lifestyle. The Saudi Vision 2030 aims to reduce CVD clinical and economic burden and to scale up vitality and longevity; in a new era of comprehensive healthcare. From a health economics standpoint, CVDs entail a burden on healthcare systems directly through expenditure and indirectly through years living with the disease, low productivity, premature morbidity and mortality. This manuscript reviews current CV health and unmet needs in Saudi Arabia, discusses G20 countries' initiatives on primary prevention: public health measures, awareness programs; and proposes national registries and digital solutions to facilitate population-specific research, improve CV surveillance and alleviate CVD burden in Saudi Arabia.

Insufficient knowledge of health insurance benefits could be associated with lack of access to health care, particularly for minority populations. This study aims to assess the association between expatriates’ knowledge of health insurance benefits and lack of access to health care. A cross-sectional study design was conducted from March 2015 to February 2016 among 3398 insured male expatriates in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The dependent variable was binary and expresses access or lack of access to health care. Independent variables included perceived and validated knowledge of health insurance benefits and other variables. Data were summarized by computing frequencies and percentage of all quantities of variables. To evaluate variations in knowledge, personal and job characteristics with lack of access to health care, the Chi square test was used. Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were recorded for each independent variable. Multiple logistic regression and stepwise logistic regression were performed and adjusted ORs were extracted. Descriptive analysis showed that 15% of participants lacked access to health care. The majority of these were unskilled laborers, usually with no education (17.5%), who had been working for less than 3 years (28.1%) in Saudi Arabia. A total of 23.3% worked for companies with less than 50 employees and 16.5% earned less than 4500 Saudi Riyals monthly ($1200). Many (20.3%) were young (< 30 years old) or older (17.9% ≥ 56 years old) and had no formal education (24.7%). Nearly half had fair or poor health status (49.5%), were uncomfortable conversing in Arabic (29.7%) or English (16.7%) and lacked previous knowledge of health insurance (18%). For perceived knowledge of health insurance, 55.2% scored 1 or 0 from total of 3. For validated knowledge, 16.9% scored 1 or 0 from total score of 4. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that only perceived knowledge of health insurance had significant associations with lack of access to health care ((OR) = 0.393, (CI) = 0.335–0.461), but the result was insignificant for validated knowledge. Stepwise logistic regression gave similar findings. Our results confirmed that low perceived knowledge of health insurance in expatriates was associated with less access to health care.

The call by Saber Yezli and colleagues (Feb 27, p 845)1Yezli S Alotaibi BM Bin Saeed AAB The Hajj Health Requirements: time for a serious review?.Lancet. 2016; 387: 845-846Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (7) Google Scholar to restrict the Hajj pilgrimage based on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is extremely disturbing to many Muslims. The Hajj is a deep, spiritual journey mandatory to financially and physically able Muslims once in their life-time. Two-thirds of the Hajj pilgrims originate from developing countries who make life-long savings to achieve their spiritual objectives. Thus, for most pilgrims, the Hajj is feasible only in older age; 43% of pilgrims are 56 years of age or older.2Ahmed QA Arabi YM Memish ZA Health risks at the Hajj.Lancet. 2006; 367: 1008-1015Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (298) Google Scholar In view of the high NCD burden in older adults, restrictions would likely deny the opportunity for Hajj for nearly half of the pilgrims. For example, 48–50% of Saudi Arabian individuals aged 55–64 years are diabetic and this group constitutes 50% of the Hajj pilgrims.3El Bcheraoui C Basulaiman M Tuffaha M et al.Status of the diabetes epidemic in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 2013.Int J Public Health. 2014; 59: 1011-1021Crossref PubMed Scopus (47) Google Scholar The trajectory of some NCDs is unpredictable, such as that of sickle cell disease,4Jastaniah W Epidemiology of sickle cell disease in Saudi Arabia.Ann Saudi Med. 2011; 31: 289-293Crossref PubMed Scopus (112) Google Scholar and we do not have conventions on the level of severity of NCDs to require travel restrictions. Most pilgrims might never have had an NCD screening, Saudi Arabian consulates are ill equipped to implement such screening, and NCD services might not be uniformly accessible in the resource-poor countries. In a delicate choreography of diplomacy and service, Saudi Arabia must balance the dual roles of both custodian to the holy sites and guardians to the guests of God, and has fostered the most enormous growth in this religious pilgrimage history, modernising all aspects of the Hajj services that are comprehensive and on an immense scale. In over 1400 years, the Hajj health services emerged as an ad-hoc activity to treat ailing pilgrims, institutionalised by the Saudi Health Ministry in recent decades and subject to consultation with global stakeholders for compliance with the International Health Regulations. Hajj is also the single most important unifying event in a geopolitically volatile Muslim world. Distrust of medical establishments in Muslim communities is already a challenge to communicable disease control, such as polio.5Yahya M Polio vaccines—“no thank you!” barriers to polio eradication in northern Nigeria.Afr Aff. 2007; 106: 185-204Crossref Scopus (114) Google Scholar Restrictions on such an important event, unless mandated by global public health conventions, will complicate the compliance with existing advisories and might be viewed by Muslim communities as impinging on their religious freedom.6Al-Khayat MH Health as a human right in Islam. The right path to health. Health education through religion, 9. WHO Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean.http://applications.emro.who.int/dsaf/dsa217.pdfGoogle Scholar Rather than restrictions, we believe, the Hajj-related health-care contact of pilgrims at home and in Saudi Arabia could be used to educate more pilgrims about NCD prevention. We declare no competing interests. The Hajj health requirements: changing a mindsetIn response to our Correspondence on the Hajj health requirements,1 the statement by Ziad Memish and colleagues (April 23, p 1719)2 that we called to “restrict the Hajj pilgrimage based on non-communicable diseases (NCDs)” is extremely misleading. We would like to clarify that we called for a global discussion, to include all Hajj stakeholders nationally and internationally, on whether seriously ill pilgrims should be allowed to attend Hajj and not for a unilateral action from the Saudi authorities to prevent pilgrims with any form of NCD or chronic illness from doing the pilgrimage.

Background: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has made tremendous improvements in its health system in a short period of time due to extensive investments from oil revenues. In 2015, the Saudi Ministry of Health (MOH) housed 250,000 personnel, including 31,516 physicians and 75,978 nurses, and operated 249 hospitals with 34,000 beds. It is responsible for 60% of healthcare services, with the remaining 40% managed by a number of semi-public organizations and the private sector .The MOH is in charge of health promotion, disease prevention, and treatment. Health care services are provided for free throughout the country. In recent years and with improvements in infrastructure and health services, an increasing burden of non-communicable diseases is emerging. We recently reported high rates of diabetes mellitus.

Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) contribute to increased length of hospital stay, higher mortality and higher health-care costs. Prevention and control of HAIs is a critical public health concern. This study assessed the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of standard infection control precautions among health-care workers (HCWs) in Qassim, Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional online survey among HCWs was conducted using a structured questionnaire. Predictors of KAP were investigated using multivariate logistic regression analyses and independent sample t-tests. A total of 213 HCWs participated in the survey. The prevalence of good (≥80% correct response) knowledge, attitude, and practice were 67.6%, 61.5%, and 73.2%, respectively. The predictors of good knowledge included the age of the HCWs (>34 years) (adjusted odds ratio: 30.5, p < 0.001), and training (13.3, p < 0.001). More than 6 years of work experience was a significant predictor of having a positive attitude (5.5, p < 0.001). While the predictors of good practice were having >6 years of experience (2.9, p < 0.01), previous exposure to HAIs (2.5, p < 0.05), and training (3.5, p < 0.01). However, being female (0.22, p < 0.001) and older (>34 years) (0.34, p < 0.01) were negatively associated with knowledge. Results indicate that arranging training for HCWs might be useful in improving their knowledge of standard infection control precautions and is also expected to facilitate positive attitude and practice.

Childhood obesity is a significant global public health problem. Worldwide data showed an increasing trend over the years. We aimed to explore the prevalence of obesity, and its association with vitamin D status.This cross-sectional study was conducted during the period from 2016 to 2017. The study included 3613 schoolchildren aged 6-19 years in the western, central, and eastern regions in Saudi Arabia. Anthropometric data including age, sex and body mass index (BMI) was collected and the serum 25OH- vitamin D (25OHD) was measured. Age-sex standardized BMI Z-scores using the 2007 World Health Organization growth standards were applied.Data from 3613 school-aged children (females = 51.8%), with equal percentage of participants from each region were analyzed. Prevalence of obesity and overweight was estimated at 7.1% and 14.4% respectively. An increasing trend was detected with age (p: 0.006). Obesity started to increase at the age of 10 years and continued to increase until 19 years. Most of the obese children (64.2%) had deficient vitamin D levels, compared to 33.7% of them with suboptimal levels and only 2.0% with optimal levels (p: <0.001).This large cohort study revealed a high prevalence (21.5%) of obesity and overweight in school children aged between 6-19 years with increasing trend with age. Children with high BMI showed extremely high prevalence of VDD and VDI. These findings are alarming and point to the need for effective national interventions that include improving and encouraging access to physical activity and exposure to sunlight, educational activities for students, parents, and schoolteachers and possible enrichment of staple food with vitamin D.

Background: The risk of exposure to lead varies significantly with source and exposure rates. Short-term exposure to high levels of lead can cause clinical symptoms starting from vomiting and ending with coma, even death. Objective: To describe the prevalence of occupational exposure with lead (Pb) health hazard in Makkah Al-Mukarramah city. Design: Comparative study with geographical locations. Setting: The city of Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Subjects: Eighty nine servicemen and sixty nine public transport drivers in the city of Makkah, Saudi Arabia were analysed by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Results: Twelve per cent of those sampled showed serum levels higher than 40 ug/dl while the mean values were 23.14 and 15.2 ug/dl in public transport drivers and civil servicemen respectively. Conclusion: Accumulation and dispersion rates rather than exposure time appear to be the determinant factors for serum Pb levels. Clinical history did not correlate with serum-Pb levels, except in two cases of public transport drivers. East African Medical Journal Vol. 82(9) 2005: 443-446

Primary health care (PHC) centers are proposed to play a major role in the provision of care for hypertensive patients. However little is known regarding the magnitude of service offered by PHC to hypertensives. The aim of this study is to see how far PHC centers are involved in terms of figures, in the management of hypertension.This was a retrospective (cohort) study in PHC centers in Qatif, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Half of the adult hypertensives that were followed up in 13 PHC centers were selected, randomly. This study was carried out during the month of September 2000.Records of 320 patients were reviewed; male: female 1.1:2.1; mean age SD 55.8 12.4 years; diagnosed at a mean age of 49.6 11.9 years. Diabetes mellitus (DM) was diagnosed in 22.2% of the sample; 66% never smoked; 47.7% had positive family history of hypertension. The median number of visits to PHC was 6 visits in the last 6 months. Number of consultations of hypertensives to PHC physicians constituted 1.1-8.4% of the total consultations. Primary health care registers document 16-35.9% of the expected total number of adult hypertensives in the community. Hypertensives following up in PHC constitute 13.8% and 17% of the expected number of diagnosed male and female adult hypertensives in the community.The magnitude of service offered by PHC to diagnosed hypertensives is less than one fifth of the expected number of patients, and its load on general practitioners working in these centers is highly variable.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the attitude of dental professionals towards biostatistics. A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted among all the faculty members and postgraduate students of dentistry at Riyadh Colleges of Dentistry and Pharmacy, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Descriptive analysis was undertaken and differences between groups were examined using Chi-square test. A response rate of 53.7% (n = 102) was achieved. Biostatistics was believed to be a difficult subject by 57.8% (n=59) of the respondents. Only 28.4% (n=29) respondents were confident that they can conduct their own statistical analyses with confidence. Majority of the respondents reported a positive attitude to the questions concerning perceptions of biostatistics and its relationship to research and evidence based dentistry. Dental professionals showed a low perceived knowledge of biostatistical concepts despite a clear recognition of the importance of these issues. There is a need of changing the training pattern of biostatistics for dental professionals. An integrated approach to teaching biostatistics with clinical relevance would make them confident enough to apply biostatistics in their clinical practice. Key words: Dental, professionals, attitude, biostatistics, perception.

Trachoma is one of the main cause of curable/preventable blindness in Saudi Arabia. First survey by NICHOL and al. 1955-65 in Eastern Province revealed prevalence rate of trachoma as 100% in Al Hasa, 98.0% in Qatif Oasis and 93.0% in Qatif town dwellers. Preliminary study by Ministry of Health, Eastern Province in 1986 revealed 3.74% of the population blind showing 10.1% due to trachoma. In 1986, Ministry of Health established Regional Prevention of Blindness & Ophthalmic Medical Education Committee, Eastern Province with six sub-divisions in Al Hasa, Qatif, Dammam, Al Khobar/Dhahran, Jubail and Hafr Al Batin. The whole health care divided in primary, secondary and tertiary level in 1987 and incorporated primary eye health care with primary health care. The Trachoma Center as a part of P.H.C. in Al Hasa was started in 1987 and a mass trachoma eradication programme by Trachoma Center was launched in 1988 along with improvement in socio-economic status/health facilities within last 10 years including development of structured P.H.C. system, leading to public awareness, prevention, treatment of bulk of active trachomas in this region particularly Al Hasa. This reduced the rate of prevalence of active trachoma to 1.5% in Al Hasa. Maximum active/inactive trachomas among the age above 55 years is 98.0% in Qatif region. Ministry of Health is in process of developing the Trachoma Center in Qatif region as well as comprehensive eye care by completing preliminary tertiary level care Eye Hospital in Dhahran to reduce the incidence of active trachoma below 0.5% within the next five years; thus achieve the goal of Prevention of Blindness in Saudi Arabia.

To investigate the virtual importance of identified barriers to preventive interventions and to explore the association between physicians' characteristics and their attitudes towards prevention.We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 182 randomly selected family and general physicians (164/182=90% response rate) from total of 385 general physicians from 5 health sectors of Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 2005. A pre-tested questionnaire asking physicians to rate the general importance of 8 preventive health strategies was used.The ranking of different preventive intervention varies from 124 (75.6%) for colorectal cancer screening to 155 (94.5%) for blood pressure control. Lack of time was rated an important barrier by 100 (61%) physicians, and lack of patient interest by 125 (76.2%) of physicians. There were 4 characteristics of physicians, which predicted negative attitudes toward prevention, sedentary lifestyle (odds ratio [OR] = 3.4, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.1-11.1), lack of awareness of their own blood pressure (OR = 2.0, 95% CI, 1.0-3.9), lack of training (OR=2.2, 95% CI, 1.5-2.9), and lack of evidence of benefits (OR=1.98, 95% CI, 1.7-3.9).The influence of physicians' own health behaviors and the importance of preventive intervention barriers, indicates a need for development of an approach to reduce the dominance of risky behavior.

This study examines the impact of green innovation, sustainable economic growth, and carbon emission on public health issues in Saudi Arabia. As Saudi Arabia is struggling to increase human development that also incorporates public health, it is important to understand the determinant factors and significant solutions to curtail public health issues. The study pioneers investigation into the role of green innovation aimed at countering public health problems caused by environmental damage. For econometric estimates, a non-linear autoregressive distributed lagged approach is used, which confirms that economic growth and carbon emissions are the main sources of public health issues in Saudi Arabia. Further, the empirical results demonstrate that greater attention to green innovation, education, and health spending plays a significant role in minimizing health issues. The positive shock in green innovation is helpful in terms of reducing public health issues. The findings are significant for policy suggestions; some recommendations are as follows: (i) The Saudi government needs to enhance funding in research and development to increase green innovation within the country. (ii) Education and health sector should be improved and increase it outreach throughout the country.

There is a dearth of studies on intermittent fasting in Saudi Arabia outside of Ramadan. The aim of this research was to study and describe the practice of intermittent fasting outside of Ramadan among Saudi people.A web-based survey that focused on intermittent fasting practices-specifically the use of intermittent fasting applications, goal setting, and the effects of fasting on an individual's state of health-was administered, collected, and analyzed.The study revealed that 58% (298/514) of the respondents practiced intermittent fasting for a duration of less than 3 months. The most-practiced pattern of intermittent fasting was a 16/8 fasting pattern (43.8%, 225/514). About 88.3% (454/514) of those who followed intermittent fasting drank fluids while fasting. Additionally, the amount of weight loss after intermittent fasting was less than 2.2 kg for 35% (180/514) of the participants. The primary goal of intermittent fasting for 44.9% (231/514) of the respondents was to lose weight. The majority of the participants (84.6%, 435/514) did not use any fasting applications.The results of the current research on intermittent fasting outside of Ramadan are preliminary and inconclusive. The findings of the present study advance the idea that for some Saudis, the practice of intermittent fasting does not necessarily begin and end with Ramadan; this finding may present a strategic opportunity for Saudi health professionals who are focused on the obesity epidemic and other public health issues in Saudi Arabia. This study sought to help start a discussion on this topic and fill the knowledge gap.

To assess 4 main determinants of healthy lifestyle (smoking, diet, physical activity, and body mass index) among primary health care professionals.A cross-sectional study was carried out between December 2012 and February 2013 where participants were selected using a stratified-random sampling method from 4 primary care centers in King Abdulaziz Medical City, National Guard Health Affairs, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A trained nurse used an approved questionnaire for data collection.The study included 322 participants from different health professions in 4 family medicine centers. The prevalence of smoking was 8.4%. Most of the participants (75.1%) scored more than 50% for healthy diet. Only 38.8% of the participants have normal body mass index, and 21.1% were physically active.Our primary health care professionals are not up to the expected level of healthy lifestyle parameters. Health care professionals in the primary care setting and in other health facilities need to be targeted by health promotion programs for their own health benefits, and better role modeling for their patients.

A series of mitigation efforts were implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Saudi Arabia, including the development of mobile health applications (mHealth apps) for the public. Assessing the acceptability of mHealth apps among the public is crucial. This study aimed to use Twitter to understand public perceptions around the use of six Saudi mHealth apps used during COVID-19: “Sehha”, “Mawid”, “Sehhaty”, “Tetamman”, “Tawakkalna”, and “Tabaud”. We used two methodological approaches: network and sentiment analysis. We retrieved Twitter data using specific mHealth apps-related keywords. After including relevant tweets, our final mHealth app networks consisted of a total of 4995 Twitter users and 8666 conversational relationships. The largest networks in size (i.e., the number of users) and volume (i.e., the conversational relationships) among all were “Tawakkalna” followed by “Tabaud”, and their conversations were led by diverse governmental accounts. In contrast, the four remaining mHealth networks were mainly led by the health sector and media. Our sentiment analysis approach included five classes and showed that most conversations were neutral, which included facts or information pieces and general inquires. For the automated sentiment classifier, we used Support Vector Machine with AraVec embeddings as it outperformed the other tested classifiers. The sentiment classifier showed an accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score of 85%. Future studies can use social media and real-time analytics to improve mHealth apps’ services and user experience, especially during health crises.

Mass gatherings for sporting events, music shows, and religious needs continue to grow in our urban areas, requiring local authorities to develop safety procedures to mitigate the challenges of keeping the attendees safe. These challenges are even more pronounced at pilgrimage venues where social distancing and contact avoidance are difficult as pilgrims are required to perform various rituals in close proximity with others, in a sequential manner, either daily or weekly, as per their religious tenets. Over two million pilgrims attend the Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia annually. Keeping the local and visiting pilgrims safe from crowd crush, sunstroke, skin infections, recurrence of prior medical issues, and contagious diseases requires the Saudi government to allocate huge investments for health communication and prevention programs every year. However, there is no evidence to date that has empirically tested whether Hajj pilgrims' are able to receive such information and are subsequently adopting various health promoting behaviors. This study aims to do that by framing it within the Health Belief Model. Data collected and analyzed from 245 pilgrims in Makkah between September 9th-19th, 2017 suggests that roughly 48% of the pilgrims adopted all five protective measures. However, language barriers, limited health care facilities, and difficulties in purchasing prescription mediciens were cited as impediments to adopting healthy measures. The study concludes with recommendations for the KSA government agencies, Hajj authorities, Mission authorities and pilgrims, during various phases of travel-- i.e. pre-travel, during the pilgrimage and post-travel, in light of new emerging health threats.

Memish and colleagues,1Memish ZA Ahmed QA Schlagenhauf P Doumbia S Khan A No time for dilemma: mass gatherings must be suspended.Lancet. 2020; (published online March 27.)https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(20)30754-6Summary Full Text Full Text PDF Scopus (31) Google Scholar in their response to our Comment,2McCloskey B Zumla A Ippolito G et al.Mass gathering events and reducing further global spread of COVID-19: a political and public health dilemma.Lancet. 2020; (published online March 20.)https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(20)30681-4Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (262) Google Scholar perceive conflict between the current best-practice risk management advice on physical distancing and the scientific evaluation of cancelling or continuing mass gathering events during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Although we have already acknowledged the need to balance these two considerations in order to maintain public understanding and trust, we do not accept that conflict is inevitable as our approach requires all mass gatherings to be considered in context, including the prevailing advice on physical distancing and movement restrictions. An open and transparent process to explicitly consider the risks of a mass gathering can, in fact, promote public confidence in the decision. The validity of our approach is exemplified by the emergence of the novel Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in Saudi Arabia in 2012.3Memish ZA Perlman S Van Kerkhove MD Zumla A Middle East respiratory syndrome.Lancet. 2020; 395: 1063-1077Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (293) Google Scholar MERS has a fatality rate 10–15 times greater than COVID-19, and has spread globally; it has significant epidemic potential (as illustrated by the MERS-CoV outbreak in South Korea4Hui DS Perlman S Zumla A Spread of MERS to South Korea and China.Lancet Respir Med. 2015; 3: 509-510Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (76) Google Scholar) and remains on the WHO Blueprint List of priority pathogens, yet we have never advocated cancelling the annual Hajj pilgrimage in the epicentre of MERS activity. This was because we adopted a risk-based approach and concluded that the risks were manageable in the context of the mitigation measures that Saudi Arabia had put in place; 7 years of safe and successful Hajj since MERS-CoV emerged suggests that the decision was correct. We have not yet seen what decisions might be made by the Saudi Government about the impending Hajj in 2020, in the context of COVID-19, but we urge that those decisions are made on the basis of an evidence-based risk assessment process such as the one we describe in our Comment.2McCloskey B Zumla A Ippolito G et al.Mass gathering events and reducing further global spread of COVID-19: a political and public health dilemma.Lancet. 2020; (published online March 20.)https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(20)30681-4Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (262) Google Scholar Any risk assessment and risk management framework for a mass gathering might inherently result in cancellation or postponement, as in the recent decision by the International Olympic Committee and Japanese Government to postpone the 2020 Olympic Games.5International Olympic CommitteeInternational Federations stand together in support of decision to postpone Olympics.https://www.olympic.org/news/ioc-president-updates-ioc-members-on-steps-and-considerations-regarding-tokyo-2020-postponementDate: March 27, 2020Date accessed: March 28, 2020Google Scholar In the current COVID-19 pandemic, it is inevitable in many countries that the outcome will be to cancel or postpone events, either because the risk is too great or because the capacity for mitigation measures is not available, or both. That is an appropriate and valid use of a risk assessment tool. The evidence base for mass gathering health is still evolving and needs to be expanded, and risk assessment frameworks also need to be refined further. Preventing global spread of infectious diseases from mass gathering events and protecting global health security require public health decisions based on evidence and an agreed rational framework for decision making. A systematic process to assess the event encourages us to consider explicitly the reasoning behind the decision, what we expect the decision to achieve, and what evidence exists to support that reasoning. This, in turn, helps us evaluate whether the decision achieves what is expected and so informs future decisions. It also requires consideration of the negative impacts of a decision to cancel an event (jobs, mental health, the economy) and to look for ways to mitigate the adverse effects. Crucially, we must look to the future. Whatever the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, countries, individually and collectively, will reach a point when they want to start removing restrictions and rebuild communities and economies. This will include decisions on re-starting mass gatherings. These decisions will need to be carefully reviewed and phased to ensure that the COVID-19 pandemic is not reignited; here, we advocate our risk-based approach as a sensible and rational way forward to consider those decisions. AZ is co-principal investigator of the Pan-African Network on Emerging and Re-Emerging Infections and is in receipt of a UK National Institutes of Health Research Senior Investigator Award. All other authors declare no competing interests. No time for dilemma: mass gatherings must be suspendedThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic places unprecedented pressure on societies and health-care systems around the world. This first pandemic of the 21st century demands internationally unified, cogent, and collective actions by individuals, communities, commercial bodies, institutional systems, and all governments in mitigating its escalating impact. Each day, more countries are closing their borders, repatriating their citizens, and discouraging tourism. Air travel between continents has been largely suspended. Full-Text PDF

Ramadan fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam. The current study aims to examine, analyze, and identify trends of health-related publications on Ramadan fasting. In total, 1468 documents retrieved from Scopus were analyzed. The mean number of authors per document was 3.7, with an average of 13.3 citations per document. The UK ranked first (12.3%, n = 181) regarding the number of documents, followed by Iran (10.4%, n = 153) and then Saudi Arabia (9.8%, n = 144). The most active journal was "Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice" (4.9%, n = 72). Publications related to diabetes and fasting constituted around 29.7% (n = 436) of the literature. The research volume on Ramadan fasting has been noticeably growing. More reliable research is required to aid healthcare professionals in providing patient-specific care.

Nowadays, any healthcare problem should be dealt with in a multidisciplinary approach that employs not only treating the symptoms of the problem but also its source. This simply implies the necessity to produce well-rounded medical graduates (physicians) who can competently integrate clinical knowledge/skills (for disease treatment) and public health knowledge/skills (for disease prevention). Moreover, the medical training (MD/MBBS curriculum) largely gives emphasis to the clinical skills needed to treat individual patients, whereas public health training (MPH degree) emphasizes the methods needed to improve the overall community health. Bridging the gap between patients and community is best achieved through a combined multidisciplinary training in both medicine and public health, that is, dual-degree MBBS-MPH programs are the way forward. In United States, for example, there are >80 medical schools that offer such joint MD-MPH programs, whereas there is none in Saudi Arabia. Herein, I call on higher education bodies to implement dual-degree MBBS-MPH programs in Saudi Arabia. To the best of knowledge, this is the first ever report to call for such an innovative implementation. Also, this short communication briefly sheds light on background, rationale, benefits, curriculum design, and future directions of such programs. The implications of this perspective (i.e. dual-degree MBBS-MPH programs) should not be limited to Saudi Arabia only; rather, it should be contemplated by the other medical curricula in the different countries.

Antibiotic resistance has become a major threat to human health worldwide, especially for serious infections, leaving limited choices for antimicrobials to be used. The World Health Organization (WHO) launched several strategies to control the spread of this resistance. However, in the Middle East the problem can become worse if these strategies are not applied due to the geographical location between developed and developing worlds, and the heavy misuse of antibiotics in the region. The current picture of antibiotic resistance in Saudi Arabia and some of the Middle Eastern countries represents high resistance rates among other regions to penicillin, erythromycin, fluoroquinolone, carbapenem and anti-tuberculosis drugs. Misuse of antibiotics is one of the major factors that contribute to the increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This includes self-medication, incomplete dosage of the medication, missing doses, and re-use of excess antibiotics from previous prescription. Moreover, lack of adherence to infection control practice by healthcare professionals can contribute in spreading antibiotic resistance. An action plan has already been set by the WHO to limit antibiotic resistance. Application of this plan requires efforts of stakeholders from all regional countries to successfully stop the spread of AMR in the Middle East. Actions should include spreading public awareness of antibiotic resistance, as well as educational programs for healthcare professionals on infection prevention and control. National surveillances of antibiotic resistant bacteria that cause nosocomial infections are essential to identify outbreaks. Strict regulations regarding dispensing antibiotics should be imposed. Each country should take action to limit the spread of antibiotic resistance. If resistance is left uncontrolled, the region may face a time in which treatments of minor infections may become impossible.
Key words: Antimicrobial resistance, Saudi Arabia, Middle East, antibiotic misuse, penicillin, erythromycin, fluoroquinolone, carbapenem.

Abstract Background Amid the rising demand for healthcare services in Saudi Arabia, there is a need to monitor, evaluate, and improve performance in the delivery of these services. In this regard, the aim of this study was to estimate changes in total factor productivity (TFP) in healthcare services across the health system administrative regions in Saudi Arabia from 2006 to 2018. The contributions of changes in efficiency and technology to the observed changes in TFP were further evaluated. Methods The data used for this study were extracted from annual Ministry of Health Statistical Yearbooks for the period of 2006–2018. TFP changes were estimated using the Malmquist Productivity Index, in which technology frontiers were constructed through data envelopment analysis. The changes in TFP were decomposed into changes in technology, changes in pure technical efficiency, and changes in scale efficiency following the Färe-Grosskopf-Norris-Zhang method. As robustness checks, we used bootstrapping to construct intervals and applied alternative decomposition methods. The changes in TFP and its sources were also compared between public and private hospitals. Results Over the period from 2006 to 2018, TFP for healthcare services has decreased on average by 5.6% per year solely on account of a technical regress. Public hospitals registered a higher deterioration in productivity (6.0% per year) than private hospitals (4.8% per year). Conclusion Using the available resources, there is potential for realising gains in productivity of healthcare services by addressing existing technological challenges. Since the decline in TFP is entirely a problem of technical regress, the primary solution should focus on strategies for achieving technical progress (innovation) through investment in more or better machinery, equipment, and structures for healthcare service provision.

Low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) virus of subtype H9N2 is the most frequently detected subtype among domestic poultry and is a public health concern because of its zoonotic potential. Due to the multiple and complex routes of LPAIV H9N2 between geographic regions, little is known about the spatial diffusion of H9N2 virus to, within, and from Egypt, where it is endemic among poultry since 2011. Using close to 800 publicly available hemagglutinin (HA) segment nucleotide sequences, associated location and temporal data, we conducted a Bayesian discrete phylogeographic analysis. Here, we reconstructed and traced the origin, spread and principal transmission routes of H9N2 across large geographical regions, in addition to the transmission between Egypt and the rest of the world and between different Egyptian governorates. Our analysis suggests that during the last few decades, H9N2 has been introduced back and forth continuously between the countries where it is endemic. Amongst these regions, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Iraq act as main distribution hubs and drive the viral migration worldwide, with bi-directional and long-distance diffusions. It is noteworthy that H9N2 was introduced once to Egypt via Israel in mid 2009, and that the descendants of the Egyptian LAIVs H9N2 were back-transmitted to Israel in 2015. Additionally, governorates in middle Egypt (Giza, Fayoum and Bani Souwaif) are major hubs in the LPAIV H9N2 transmission network in Egypt. This knowledge highlights that H9N2 is both a global and a national concern and can aid in updating the surveillance program and vaccine strain selection.

We are of the opinion that primary health care (PHC) physicians can potentially play a key role in the promotion of non-smoking campaigns. The aim of this study was to determine the role of male PHC physicians in the promotion of a non-smoking campaign among the citizens of Riyadh. About half of the male PHC physicians from Riyadh were selected at random, and were requested to fill an anonymous self-administered questionnaire. The content of the questionnaire was validated by three experts and the reliability was excellent, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.85. The result of the study showed that about 63% of the physicians had never smoked, 20% had stopped smoking, and 17% were still smoking an average of 18±10 cigarettes per day. About 30% of the physicians achieved satisfactory scores, while 7% were reported to play no role in counseling against smoking. During the anti-smoking activity, only 10% of physicians reported making use of religious reasons against smoking. Arab-speaking physicians were shown to be less active than non-Arabs in counseling (P<0.0001), and on-the-job training was found to be associated with better counseling practices (P<0.0221). Our conclusion is that the reported activity of physicians in the promotion of non-smoking was far from exemplary, and so was their own smoking profile. There is, therefore, an urgent need to put more emphasis on the promotion of non-smoking among both physicians and patients alike.IntroductionAvailable national research points to cigarette smoking as a real health hazard1–6 contributing to preventable morbidity and mortality.7 In the USA, where more than 25% of all adults smoke,8 tobacco is considered the leading preventable cause of disease and premature death.9,10 Tobacco is strongly associated with various types of cancers, stroke, peptic ulcer and coronary artery diseases.10–17Quitting cigarette smoking is known to prolong life expectancy and improve quality of life.9,15,18–24 Primary health care (PHC) physicians are believed to play a key role in helping people to adopt a healthier lifestyle.25,26 This paper focuses on the role of male PHC physicians in promoting non-smoking among citizens of Riyadh city.METHODSThe study was conducted in the city of Riyadh, in which there are 183 male PHC physicians practicing in 58 centers. About half of these physicians were selected at random and requested to fill in a self-administered questionnaire. The portion of the questionnaire concerned with counseling practices of physicians was modified from the Health Habit Counseling Questionnaire designed by Wells et al.27 Scoring of the responses was based on a ranking system, whereby a more comprehensive counseling approach was given a higher rank and score. According to the recommendation of some evaluation experts,28 the cut-off point for determining satisfactory scores in counseling was 70% of the maximum possible score.The questionnaire was validated by three experts and showed excellent reliability with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.85. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS PC-release 6). Analysis of variance and t-test were applied, with a P-value of 0.05 or less taken as the statistical level of significance.RESULTSOne physician refused to participate in the questionnaire and 89 responded, giving a response rate of about 99%. The age of the participants ranged from 26 to 60 years, with a mean of 42±7 years. Saudis constituted less than 5% and non-Arabs were about 27% of the studied population. About 80% of physicians had no postgraduate qualification and only 12% had attended on-the-job training courses in PHC. About 63% of physicians had never smoked, but the remaining had. At the time of the study, 17% were still smoking cigarettes at the rate of about 18±10 cigarettes per day. Around 30% of the physicians achieved satisfactory scores in counseling against smoking, while about 7% did not do any counseling against smoking (Figure 1).Figure 1. Physicians' smoking status and counseling scores.Download FigureThe higher mean score achieved by non-smokers (20±7) in the promotion of non-smoking compared to ex-smokers (18±4) and current smokers (16±9) was not of a statistical significance. Only 10% of physicians reported using religious reasons in anti-smoking counseling. Of these, one was an ex-smoker and the rest had never smoked. Arab-speaking physicians were shown to be less active than non-Arabs in the promotion of non-smoking, with mean scores of 18±8 and 23±4, respectively (P<0.0001). Attendance at training courses in PHC was associated with better counseling scores (P<0.0221). About 39% of the participants reported referring patients to anti-smoking clinics for proper support.DISCUSSIONThe prevalence of cigarette smoking among PHC physicians in Riyadh was relatively less than that demonstrated by other studies in Saudi Arabia29 and some other countries.30,31 It was, nevertheless, a high prevalence considering the expected physician's role and also as compared to the rates demonstrated by various other reports. 32–35 The average number of cigarettes consumed per day was almost equal to that reported by Saeed et al.29 There was no significant association between personal lifestyle of this sample of physicians and their counseling practices, although other studies have confirmed that such a relationship often exists.32,36–39The finding that only one-tenth of PHC physicians used religious reasons in their anti-smoking activities was surprising and discouraging. It was interesting to find no current smokers among this group. Indeed, the majority of physicians had never smoked.The referral to anti-smoking clinics appeared to be practiced more by PHC physicians in Riyadh than by U.S. family physicians.25The low anti-smoking activity reported by Arab-speaking physicians was unexpected, as they speak the same language of the community. It is not known whether this was a mere reporting flaw or a real fact. In general, the reported activity of physicians in promotion of nonsmoking was far from exemplary, and so was the pattern of their own smoking habits. There is, therefore, the need to put more emphasis on the promotion of non-smoking among physicians and their patients.ARTICLE REFERENCES:1. Jarallah JS.

The study was conducted to investigate the profile of hepatitis in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and to determine which age group hepatitis viruses most commonly infect. The epidemiology of viral hepatitis in Saudi Arabia hasundergone major changes, concurrent with major socioeconomicdevelopments over the last two to three decades.This disease represents a major public health problem in Saudi Arabia resulting in the need for considerable healthcare resources. A retrospective cross sectional analysis of the reported cases of viral hepatitis was conducted based on the reports of The Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia about Hepatitis A, B and C infections in all regions from the period of January 2006 to December 2010. The study demonstrated that incidence of viral Hepatitis is decreasing, except for Hepatitis B that showed minimal increase. Of hepatitis A, B, and C, Hepatitis B virus (HBV) was the most predominant type, accounting for (53%) of the cases, followed by Hepatitis C virus (HCV) (30%) and HAV (17%).HAV infection predominates in children (5–14 years) with 60% of viral hepatitis cases, HBV in young adults (15–44 years) with 69% of viral hepatitis cases, and HCV in older adults (>45 years) with 59% of viral hepatitis cases.Despite significant changes in the prevalence of viral hepatitis A, B and C, it remains a major public health problem in Saudi Arabia, however it showed a significant decline in the last two decades that could be attributed to the vaccination programs and the improved health facilities. Further researches are needed to identify the risk factors making a specific age group or a specific region in Saudi Arabia targeted for a specific type of hepatitis viruses.

BACKGROUND: To extend our knowledge of social barriers in relation to mental health, the present study was conducted to investigate the impact of social barriers on mental health help-seeking among Saudi Arabians aged 18 years and above. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 1632 participants in 2018 during the months of October and November. The participants completed self-administered online surveys about the demographic characteristics, social barriers, and knowledge and attitudes about mental health. RESULTS: The majority of the participants agreed that social barriers could prevent them from seeking mental health help. Stigma was chosen as the most common social barrier among the participants (76.3%), followed by culture (61.5%) and negative perceptions (56.2%). CONCLUSION: Social barriers are a challenge in seeking mental health. Increasing public awareness of available services and resources as well as developing programs to fight stigmatization should be initiated to create more positive attitudes toward people with mental illness and promote holistic well-being.

The 2019 novel coronavirus pandemic has not only created massive public health issues, it has also produced excessive psychological disorders in healthcare professionals, including radiology staff. The aim of this study is to assess the risk perception and mental health of radiology staff in Saudi Arabia during the COVID-19 pandemic. The researcher asked radiology staff to complete an online Google Forms questionnaire, between June 10, 2020 and June 17, 2020, which contained demographic data and self-designed questions related to anxiety, insomnia, depressive symptoms, and mental health services during the pandemic. A total of 168 radiology staff participated in the study. The results indicated that 53.05% and 57.14% of the participants were experiencing mild to severe symptoms of anxiety and depression, respectively. Moreover, 47.02% of the participants were experiencing insomnia symptoms. Among all the participants, only 16.61% had received psychological materials from their hospital during the pandemic, while 22.02% had accessed online psychological assistance techniques. The health of roughly one-third (30.95%) of the participants was worse than it had been before the pandemic. COVID-19 is a source of mental health disorders for healthcare professionals, particularly radiology staff. The findings of this study indicate that more than 70% of radiology staff in Saudi Arabia are concerned about insufficient protective measures and the risk of infection. In addition, a large percentage of them have experienced mental health disorders, such as anxiety, insomnia, and depression. Regular mental healthcare services are required to decrease the negative impact of the pandemic and enhance the overall mental health of the radiology staff.

Background: Epistaxis is an acute episode of nasal bleeding commonly caused in children by traumatic injuries in a school setting. It is one of the common ear, nose, and throat emergencies, which should be managed with first-aid measures. To the best of our knowledge, no studies have been conducted among school teachers in the Qassim region of Saudi Arabia regarding this information. This study thus aimed to assess levels of knowledge about first-aid management and control of epistaxis among school teachers in the Qassim region, Saudi Arabia. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study using a validated online questionnaire was distributed via social media platforms. Information was collected regarding sociodemographic characteristics, and eight items assessed participants’ knowledge about epistaxis and its management. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariable analyses were conducted to assess the factors associated with good levels of knowledge. Results: The study had a total of 1,152 participants, of which 69.7% were female. The mean of knowledge was 3.29 (SD=1.39, range: 0-7). Only 19.4% of participants had a good level of knowledge. In multivariate analysis, females and those who had received information on first aid to stop nose-bleeds were significantly associated with good knowledge levels (adjusted odds ratio {AOR}: 1.72, 95% CI: 1.18-2.51, p=0.005; and AOR: 3.38, 95% CI: 2.47-4.64, p<0.001, respectively). Conclusion: Less than one-quarter of participants had good knowledge levels. Health education sessions for teachers are highly recommended and should specifically target male teachers.

Similar to most countries, Saudi Arabia faced several challenges during the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, some of which were related to the religious position of the country. The main challenges included deficits in knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward COVID-19, the negative psychological impacts of the pandemic on the general population and healthcare workers, vaccine hesitancy, the management of religious mass gatherings (e.g., Hajj and Umrah), and the imposition of travel regulations. In this article, we discuss these challenges based on evidence from studies involving Saudi Arabian populations. We outline the measures through which the Saudi authorities managed to minimize the negative impacts of these challenges in the context of international health regulations and recommendations.

In mid-October, 2013, about 3·5 million pilgrims are expected to descend on Mecca, Saudi Arabia, to perform Hajj. Under the strictures of Islam, the rite is obligatory for all able-bodied Muslims at least once in their lifetimes. Hajj is the world's largest annual mass gathering; last year saw more than 1·7 million pilgrims arrive from abroad. Many public health risks are associated with this mass gathering. Muslims live all over the world, but especially in poor nations, and many pilgrims are elderly. The Islamic calendar is 11 days shorter than the Gregorian calendar; Hajj moves backwards through the year, and can become aligned with peak influenza season in one of the hemispheres. This year, the threat of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) exists. As this piece went to press, more than 100 cases had been reported, with a fatality rate of nearly 50%. The virus could prove especially dangerous for people with suppressed immune systems or underlying health disorders. Thus the Saudi Arabian authorities have recommended that individuals older than 65 years and those with chronic diseases do not perform Hajj this year. However, whether this recommendation will be assiduously followed is uncertain. Philippe Gautret (Hôpital Nord, Service des Maladies Infectieuses et Tropicales, Marseille, France) points out that preliminary findings of French pilgrims preparing for this year's Hajj suggest that they are disregarding the advice. “MERS-CoV has not yet pandemic potential since human-to-human transmission is limited”, he added, “but we will have to carefully survey what happens in Saudi Arabia and in the home countries of international pilgrims”. “Saudi Arabia is very keen to prevent infections from spreading and to take care of pilgrims”, adds Harunor Rashid (National Centre for Immunisation Research and Surveillance of Vaccine Preventable Diseases, Sydney University, Sydney, NSW, Australia). During the 2003 outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), the state banned pilgrims from affected countries, introduced thermal imaging cameras at major airports, and established facilities to rapidly diagnose the virus; a SARS outbreak was not reported among pilgrims. Saudi Arabia also offers free health care for Hajjis, and employs about 20 000 health workers for the occasion. Every year it disseminates health recommendations to those contemplating making the journey. “We cannot prevent people from coming—the onus is on the countries of origin to enforce these recommendations”, Ziad Memish, Saudi Arabia's Deputy Minister of Health, told The Lancet Respiratory Medicine. Saudi Arabia does require that all pilgrims be vaccinated against meningococcal disease and those from endemic countries against polio and yellow fever. The influenza vaccines are not sufficiently protective to warrant adding them to this list, notes Memish. Nevertheless, the virus is one of the largest health concerns for mass gathering attendees. “In our samples, mostly Hajjis from the UK, at least 10% developed influenza confirmed by PCR”, affirms Oxford University's Elizabeth Haworth. She estimates that half of returning pilgrims report some kind of respiratory symptoms (although data on the subject are scarce). These symptoms are partly attributable to dust and irritation, but for some people are more serious. “Respiratory infections are common during mass gatherings”, said Gautret, “viruses are rapidly acquired, notably rhinovirus and influenza”. Hospitals in Saudi Arabia report upsurges in pneumonia during Hajj. Moreover, some pilgrims contract an infection during Hajj, but only have symptoms when they return home. Whether attendees are in danger of contracting tuberculosis is a moot point. At an event like the Olympics, where spectators congregate for a day or so before returning to their homes and hotels, the risk of infection is low. But at Hajj, people are accommodated in tents, living in close quarters to one another. In view of the lengthy incubation period of tuberculosis, confirmation of Hajj-related cases is difficult. However, contact-tracing has raised strong suspicions that the pilgrimage is a risk factor for the disease. The risk of infection can be kept to a minimum by preventive measures: adherence to cough etiquette, effective food hygiene (700 000 goats are sacrificed during Hajj), and washing with soap and water. “The Ministry of Hajj is providing diagrams for pilgrims on how to wash—we have to ensure people are properly educated that prevention matters”, said Haworth. She is involved in a trial that aims to test the efficacy of facemasks that are worn properly against masks that are casually worn. 2500 pilgrims at this year's Hajj are participating. “At the moment, there is conflicting or inconclusive evidence that masks do prevent respiratory infections, particularly flu”, Haworth told The Lancet Respiratory Medicine. For example, masks are not useful when wet, and few people wear them while sleeping. Memish stresses the importance of establishing mass gatherings, which he defines as “large numbers of people attending an event that is focused on specific sites for a finite time”, as a medical specialty, and of encouraging collaboration between the organisers of such events. He has been instrumental in getting mass gathering medicine on the global health agenda, and in mid-September, Riyadh played host to the 2nd International Conference on Mass Gathering Medicine, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. “It is a new field, but it is developing and gaining recognition”, said Haworth.

The study was conducted to investigate the profile of hepatitis in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and to determine which age group hepatitis viruses most commonly infect. The epidemiology of viral hepatitis in Saudi Arabia hasundergone major changes, concurrent with major socioeconomicdevelopments over the last two to three decades.This disease represents a major public health problem in Saudi Arabia resulting in the need for considerable healthcare resources.A retrospective cross sectional analysis of the reported cases of viral hepatitis was conducted based on the reports of The Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia about Hepatitis A, B and C infections in all regions from the period o f January 2006 to December 2010. The study demonstrated that incidence of viral Hepatiti s is decreasing, except for Hepatitis B that showed minimal increase. Of hepatitis A, B, and C, Hepatitis B virus (HBV) was the most predominant type, accounting for (53%) of the cases, followed by Hepatitis C virus (HCV) (30%) and HAV (17%).HAV infection predominates in children (5‐14 years) with 60% of viral hepatitis cases, HBV in young adults (15‐44 yea rs) with 69% of viral hepatitis cases, and HCV in older adults (>45 years) with 59% of viral hepatitis cases.Despite significant changes in the prevalence of viral hepatitis A, B and C, it remains a major public health problem in Saudi Arabia, however it showed a significant decli ne in the last two decades that could be attributed to the vaccination programs and the improved health facilities. Further researches are needed to identify the risk factors making a sp ecific age group or a specific region in Saudi Arabia targeted for a specific type of hepati tis viruses.

Background and Objectives: Pharmacists play a major role in serving patients and delivering pharmaceutical services to the community. It is unclear whether the public fully appreciates what pharmacists can do as key health care providers. This study aims to examine public perceptions of community pharmacists and levels of satisfaction with pharmacy services. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on a randomly selected sample population (n = 1000) in Saudi Arabia over a period of six months from January through June 2019. A 40-item, structured, self-administered questionnaire was used, comprised of questions on the demographics characteristics of the respondents and their satisfaction with pharmacy services. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Results: The response rate of the survey was 76.92%. Public opinions were influenced by pharmacists' availability and knowledge, service promptness, and counseling services. Overall, 80.5% of respondents agreed that community pharmacists treat them with respect. Doctors were identified as the preferred source of drug therapy consultation by 58.7% and pharmacists by 41.29%. About 72.8% of respondents agreed that pharmacists provided them with clear instructions about medication use, and 70.2% trusted pharmacists' opinions about medications. About 62.5% of respondents expressed satisfaction with pharmacists, and 64.8% with pharmacy services. Conclusions: Customers' opinions were influenced by pharmacists' availability and knowledge, pharmacy service promptness, pharmacy location, waiting area, medication knowledge, and counseling. However, the public was greatly satisfied with community pharmacists' professionalism and pharmaceutical services. This positive perception provides an opportunity for pharmacists to extend their roles as healthcare professionals.

Purpose: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has evolved into a worldwide pandemic and continues to escalate exponentially in many countries across the globe. Recently, higher rates of psychological distress have been reported in several countries during the pandemic. Accordingly, the study aim was to investigate the relationship between public mental health and immune status during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Participants of this cross-sectional study were 2252 national and foreign residents of Saudi Arabia. We used a web-based self-rated questionnaire to measure the association between psychological distress (Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales [DASS-21]) and immune status (Immune Status Questionnaire [ISQ]) during the COVID-19 pandemic. We also investigated predictors of reduced immune status using binary logistic regression analyses. Results: Data from 1721 respondents showed that 17.5% of participants scored below the immune status cutoff (ISQ ˂ 6). Mean (± standard deviation) depression, anxiety, and stress scores in the reduced immune status group (ISQ ˂ 6) indicated moderate depression, anxiety, and stress (19.1 ± 11.4; 15.0 ± 9.6; 21.8 ± 11.2, respectively) and were significantly higher than scores in the normal immune status group (ISQ ≥ 6) (8.6 ± 9.1, P ˂ 0.0001; 5.0 ± 6.7, P ˂ 0.0001; 9.3 ± 9.3, P ˂ 0.0001, respectively). The regression analysis showed that age, anxiety, and stress were the only factors that significantly predicted the presence of reduced immune status. Conclusion: There is an association between mental health problems during the COVID-19 pandemic and immune response in the public, especially in elderly people. Keywords: mental health, COVID-19, immune status, Immune Status Questionnaire, psychological distress

To determine the knowledge of doctors, nurses, patients and public about the causes of gastrointestinal cancers and dissemination of this knowledge.A cross-sectional analytical study.This study was carried out in the Department of Oncology, King Fahad Hospital, Al-Madinah Al-Munawara, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and was completed in four months from February 2003 to June 2003.About 200 doctors, nurses and patients suffering from GIT cancer and general public were selected. Each subject was asked to fill up a proforma designed to assess his knowledge about the risk factors for GIT malignancies.A majority of doctors and nurses had good knowledge about the causes of GIT malignancies. The knowledge of patients and general public was low. Out of all four groups, it was poorest in the patient's group.The difference in the knowledge of medicos and patients/public reflects that medicos should convey this knowledge to the patients in particular and general public in general, which is their responsibility besides medical treatment.

Purpose: To investigate public knowledge, awareness and practice regarding COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia.Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted, with a 16-item self-administered questionnaire. Data was collected using social media as the platform a day after the lockdown commenced in Saudi Arabia and data collection lasted from March 25 to April 25, 2020. Chi-square test was performed to determine the association between the variables.Results: The results showed that 96 % (n = 1505) of adults were aware of the clinical symptoms of COVID-19 and 57.9 % (n = 908) correctly identified that a stuffy nose and sneezing were less common in persons infected with the virus. A majority (95.4 %, n = 1495) agreed that there was no established therapeutic treatment for COVID-19. Further, 91.7 % (n = 1437) agreed that the virus could spread via respiratory droplets and only 46.2 % (n = 724) acknowledged that wearing face mask helped prevent transmission. The results also showed that 83.2 % (n = 1299) of the participants thought that visiting crowded places increased the likelihood of transmission.Conclusion: The findings of this study reveal that adults in Saudi Arabia are cognizant of COVID-19 and maintained good attitudes and practices regarding it. Furthermore, health education programs aimed at improving awareness of the disease and appropriate control measures will be beneficial in curbing the virus pandemic.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused major morbidity and mortality internationally. Most governments worldwide have enforced precautionary health measures such as social distancing, hand hygiene, and wearing gloves to limit the spread of this disease. In response to major health and economic stressors, individuals exhibit a range of different coping styles. Aim: The aim of this study is to identify coping strategies that are predictive of compliance with pandemic-related precautionary health behaviors in Saudi Arabia. Settings: A cross-sectional study was conducted online with a total of 1029 Saudi adult participants. Materials and Methods: The Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced (COPE) questionnaire was administered as well as appraising the level of compliance with the Saudi Ministry of Health precautionary measures. Multiple regression analyses explored the associations between coping styles and precautionary health behavior compliance. Statistical Analysis: Multivariate multiple regression and linear regression analyses were used to analyze the data. Results: The active coping and religion Brief COPE subscales as well as age predicted compliance with all precautionary measures. The behavioral disengagement Brief COPE subscale predicted hand washing and social distancing while the substance use Brief COPE subscale and sex predicted wearing gloves. Conclusion: Compliance with COVID-19-related precautionary health behaviors is driven by different coping styles. Active coping and religion appeared to influence all three health behaviors which might guide public health officials in their efforts to develop effective public health campaigns, which further suggests the importance of involving the religious institutions in Saudi Arabia.

Self-Medication is common practice worldwide in both developed and developing countries. Self-Medication is referred as self consumption of medication without consulting a physician for either diagnosis or treatment. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices toward self-medication among medical and pharmacy students.This cross-sectional study was conducted among medical and pharmacy students in Qassim university, Buraydah, Saudi Arabia, during the period 2020-2021. Multistage random sampling technique was used to recruit students. The data were collected through questionnaire.Three hundred and sixteen of 316 students were recruited. This study showed that the majority (94.6%) of students had good knowledge of self-medication. Additionally, the following characteristics were significantly associated with good knowledge: being female, and Pharmacy students. Overall mean score for the attitudes towards self-medication shows that 58.4% of the total sample had high agreements towards the questions of the attitudes toward self-medication. More than half (63.9%) of the students reported that they practice self- medication in the last 6 months. Pain killers was the most common medication used for self- medication by the majority of the students (88.29%).In conclusion, students' knowledge of self-medication appears to be good and significantly high among pharmacy students in comparison to medical students. As well self-medication was highly practiced among the students. Therefor, medical and pharmacy students should be viewed as important contributors to the public health care system, and future health professionals should be properly educated on good pharmacy practice and responsible self-medication.Not applicable.

Parents decisions toward vaccination are significant for expanding the vaccination rate and parent compliance toward vaccination. Vaccine hesitancy is an issue of worldwide concern in both developed and developing nations. We aimed to assess the magnitude of parent's hesitancy toward vaccines and to determine the reasons of parents of partially vaccinated and unvaccinated children in Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional study was conducted using a self-administered standardized questionnaire, derived from the World Health Organization's Strategic Advisory Group of Experts, for parents of children <14 years of age admitted to the Children Specialized Hospital, a tertiary governmental care hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between January and March 2019. A total of 384 parents completed the survey. Majority of the parents expressed positive confidence about vaccines. Most of the parents know that childhood vaccines are important for their child's health (78.40%) and can protect children from serious diseases. Fifty-seven (14.8%) participants were hesitant to vaccinate their children. The majority of parents fully vaccinated their children (74.7%), followed by partially vaccinated (23.7%), and unvaccinated (1.6%). Common reason for parents to partially vaccinated/unvaccinated their children were due to the child's medical illnesses (78.4%). Physicians were the main source of vaccination information among parents (68.80%). Confidence toward vaccinations is good among parents in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. However, minority of the parents showed hesitancy. The way wherein vaccination information is shared to parents can be especially significant thus, we recommend to increase public awareness about vaccination in our community. Las decisiones parentales sobre la vacunación son significativas para ampliar la tasa de vacunación y el cumplimiento de los padres acerca de la misma. La renuencia a la vacuna es una cuestión de preocupación mundial tanto en países desarrollados como en desarrollo. Nuestro objetivo fue evaluar la magnitud de la renuencia de los padres a las vacunas, y determinar sus motivos para vacunar parcialmente, o no vacunar, a los niños en la ciudad de Riad, Arabia Saudí. Realizamos un estudio transversal, utilizando un cuestionario estandarizado auto-administrado, derivado del grupo de expertos asesores estratégicos de la Organización Mundial de la Salud, para padres de niños < 14 años ingresados en un hospital infantil especializado, un centro estatal de atención terciaria en Riad, Arabia Saudí, entre enero y marzo de 2019. Un total de 384 padres completaron la encuesta, la mayoría de los cuales expresó una confianza positiva en las vacunas. La mayoría de los padres sabía que las vacunas infantiles eran importantes para la salud de sus hijos (78,4%), y que podían proteger a los niños frente a enfermedades graves. Cincuenta y siete participantes (14,8%) dudaban de vacunar a sus hijos. La mayoría de los padres había adoptado la vacunación completa a sus hijos (74,7%), seguidos de vacunación parcial (23,7%) y no vacunación (1,6%). Los motivos comunes de vacunar parcialmente/no vacunar a sus hijos fueron las situaciones médicas de los niños (78,4%). Los médicos fueron la principal fuente de información a los padres sobre vacunación (68,8%). La confianza en la vacunación es buena entre los padres de Riad, Arabia Saudí. Sin embargo, una minoría de padres se mostró renuente. El modo de informar a los padres sobre la vacunación es especialmente significativo y, por tanto, recomendamos la concienciación pública acerca de la vacunación en nuestra comunidad.

Context: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by the presence of kidney damage or decreased kidney function. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the prevalence of CKD is at 5.7%, which represents a high burden on health care systems. Aims: This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of high-risk patients towards prevention and early detection of chronic kidney disease in Saudi Arabia. Setting and Design: Descriptive cross-sectional study in Saudi Arabia. Methods and Material: This study was designed using a newly developed instrument, the CKD Screening Index. It was conducted from December 2021 to May 2022 by a self-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire has three parts: socio-demographic data, clinical factors, and the CKD screening index tool. Statistical analyses used: Independent t-test, One-Way ANOVA, LSD, Games–Howell tests. Results: Knowledge of kidney function had a significant difference across patient groups with varying employment status. Monthly income is a significant factor for the patient attitude on healthcare towards preventing kidney disease. On the other hand, educational level significantly affects the overall attitude of patients towards preventing kidney disease. Conclusion: Understanding knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with CKD is vital to informing optimal policy and public health responses in the country.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of bronchiolitis and viral pneumonia in pediatrics worldwide. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), the prevalence of RSV is 23.5% in pediatric patients with acute lower respiratory tract illness. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) poses critical public health and socioeconomic challenges in KSA. The Saudi Pediatric Pulmonology Association (SPPA), a subsidiary of the Saudi Thoracic Society (STS), developed a task force to determine the potential challenges and barriers to the RSV immunoprophylaxis program during the era of COVID-19 and to compose a practical, nationwide, and multidisciplinary approach to address these challenges. Some of the recommendations to manage these challenges include increasing the number of RSV immunoprophylaxis clinics, drive-thru visits, home-care services, and swift referrals to the RSV immunoprophylaxis program specialists. Additional training is required for healthcare personnel to add RSV immunoprophylaxis to the regular immunization schedule.

Cigarette smoking is one of the leading causes of death in the world. Tobacco consumption has grave negative consequences for health so that it is important to understand the reasons and motivations towards cigarette smoking and barriers against quitting smoking among the young generation for developing effective policies to control this widespread problem.This crosssectional survey was carried out at the Faculty of Medicine, Rabigh, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A total of 438 young smokers participated from the University and the general population. Data were collected through anonymous, selfadministered questionnaires in the Arabic language that contained questions about the reasons and motivations towards cigarette smoking and barriers against quitting smoking. The questionnaire also contained several questions regarding knowledge and attitude of the participants towards cigarette smoking. The data was analyzed on SPSS16.The mean age of the respondents was 22.9±3.48, out of 438 subjects 87 (19.9%) were married, and 351 (80.1%) were unmarried, and 331 (75.6%) belonged to urban areas while 107 (24.5%) were from the rural areas. Responding to a question about a number of cigarettes smoked per day, 31% answered 1120, 29% answered 2130, and 25% answered 110. Questioned about smokers in the family, 34.5% responded more than one, with 19% for brother and 13% for father. About the reasons for not quitting smoking, 26% described lack of willpower, 25% had no reason, 22% said that people around me smoke, and 15.3% responded stress at home/work. The major motivation for smokers was smoker friends (42%), for 33.8% others, for 12% father/brother and 7.8% media.There are several avoidable and preventable reasons and barriers against quitting smoking. However, knowledge and attitude about smoking were good, and the majority of the smokers were well aware of the associated hazards. Therefore, there is a need to search out ways and means to help them to quit this addiction.

With the human society transfers from scattered pieces to a society as a whole and the advent of the aviation era, the occurrence of infectious diseases and their diffusion have led to international health security issues. As the world's largest and irrevocable annual transnational religious movement, the Hajj and its connection with health security concerns have caught attention since the ancient times, because a huge population from all over the world gathers in the holy city of Mecca, which has tropical arid climate. Currently, the international community and international organizations are implementing multilevel governance with respect to the health security issues of the Hajj. Relevant agencies include the World Health Organization and its regional branches, International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (ICRC), the Ministry of Hajj as well as the Ministry of Health of Saudi Arabia, and the public health sectors/agencies in various countries that are involved with Hajj activities. The international community has successfully held the Hajj events, even when facing the challenges brought by some viral respiratory diseases such as SARS and MERS. The Hajj has become a rare opportunity for all stakeholders to improve their capabilities in international health security governance.

All countries all over the world strive to fight the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic and their governments are facing unprecedented strains and challenges. Since COVID-19 has engendered socioeconomic recession and the deterioration of health systems, Insights and lessons from some countries can illustrate various approaches designing their people-centric health and socioeconomic policies. The kingdom of Saudi Arabia has implemented various measures and strategies to mitigate the spread of pandemic and to save the lives of people. Therefore, we investigate the role of the Saudi disaster risk reduction system (DRRS) to fight the virus outbreak and provide a safe environment for the well-being of its inhabitants.We use a qualitative case study methodology to document and analyze the crisis and disasters risk management framework within the hazard management process. The case study methodology is suitable in investigating a phenomenon in its real-life settings and contexts. Thus, we outline lessons learned from Saudi disaster risk management experience in combating COVID-19 pandemic.During COVID-19 disaster, we found that the Saudi disaster risk reduction system (DRRS) is structured into three main levels: strategic, operational and tactical. The strategic level represents the strategic planning division and runs audit and monitoring of overall decentralized units of crisis management at operational and tactical levels. The findings show that there are three policy implications: keep vigilance at the public national level, remaining flexible in a national management structure and good governance at local administration level.The application of disaster risk reduction framework in COVID-19 times requires the use of multi-level strategies to protect vulnerable peoples during the four stages of mitigation (readiness), preparedness, response (implementation) and recovery (post-COVID).

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are considered as an important and useful tool in planning and evaluating any health care system. Today, GIS has been applied at several health care stud- ies. The applications are classified into three main groups which are spatial changes in health status, spatial epidemiology, and health care facilities accessibility and utilization. The first part of this research discusses each one of these groups and their relevant GIS applica- tions. The second part illustrates one example of GIS application for evaluating general hospitals accessibility in Jeddah City. For this application, the standard criteria of Saudi Arabia that define the health care locations were applied on hospitals locations in order to deter- mine their levels of accessibility. Network analysis, which is one of GIS modules, is used to produce the required models. The local health authority can use the results of this application for planning further hospital services in Jeddah City.

The purpose of the study was to assess the community knowledge of and to obtain a broad overview of attitudes towards appropriate prevention techniques that are recommended by the Ministry of Health to prevent COVID-19 transmission in Saudi Arabia.A cross-sectional study using an online survey was conducted in Saudi Arabia between 1 May and 30 November 2020 to assess the community knowledge of and attitudes towards appropriate COVID-19 prevention techniques in Saudi Arabia. The study tool was developed based on an extensive literature review.A total of 577 individuals were involved in this study. The majority of the participants knew that COVID-19 is classified as a severe acute respiratory syndrome, is caused by viral infection, and that it is more common among the elderly and those who have a chronic illness. More than half of the participants were able to identify the symptoms of COVID-19 correctly, which are fever, dry cough, and loss of taste. Approximately half the study participants were knowledgeable about appropriate distancing, handwashing, and preventive measures (e.g., wearing a cloth mask, smoking cessation, avoiding dangerous cultural behaviors that increase the probability of disease transmission). More than half of the study participants were able to identify the appropriate actions that should be taken if common COVID-19 symptoms appear.A promising level of knowledge and positive attitudes towards COVID-19 was observed in Saudi Arabia. Continuous efforts should be maintained to sustain the level of awareness among the public. Further studies are warranted to explore the level of knowledge and attitudes after the introduction of COVID-19 vaccines.

Hajj is a mass gathering event that takes place annually in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Typically, around three million people participate in the event and perform rituals that involve their movements within strict space and time restrictions. Despite efforts by the Hajj organisers, such massive crowd gathering and movement cause overcrowding related problems at the Hajj sites. Several previous simulation studies on Hajj focused on the rituals individually. Tawaf, followed by Sayee, are two important rituals that are performed by all the pilgrims at the same venue on the same day. These events have a strong potential for crowd buildup and related problems. As opposed the previous works in the literature, in this paper we study these two events jointly, rather than separately. We use ExtendSim, a Discrete Event Simulation tool, to integrate the Tawaf and Sayee rituals into one model. The validated model was applied to a wide range of scenarios where different percentages of pilgrims were allocated to the various Tawaf and Sayee areas. The effect of such allocations on the time to complete Tawaf and Sayee indicate strategies for managing these two key Hajj rituals.

Influenza infection continues to be a hazard to the Saudi population, resulting in high death rates and illness prevalence; it also places a substantial financial burden on the government. The government takes several strategies and approaches through the Ministry of Health has shown great success in curbing the disease. Vaccination is considered the most appropriate control measure; unfortunately, most Saudi residents, particularly in the city of Riyadh, do not consider vaccination a safe health practice. As a result, many have not participated in the influenza vaccine immunisation programme. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAPs) of seasonal influenza and influenza vaccine immunisation among clients visiting primary healthcare centers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, the study investigated the relationship between participants' demographics and their KAPs regarding influenza vaccination. A cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational study was conducted among 611 individuals who visited four of Riyadh's primary healthcare centers: Alsylimania, Alwady, Alyasmin, and Alsahafah. A self-reported questionnaire was used to assess the KAPs of participants, with questions regarding seasonal influenza and influenza vaccine immunisation. The scores of participants' knowledge showed that the majority had good knowledge regarding seasonal flu (64.5%) and the flu vaccine (73.3%). Furthermore, only 52% of participants had a positive attitude score towards the seasonal influenza vaccination. Despite that, significant knowledge gaps and mistaken beliefs regarding certain aspects of influenza were noted in participants, resulting in negative attitudes and perceptions as well as a reduced likelihood of being vaccinated. In this study, 43.7% of participants (267 out of 611) had ever received a flu vaccine. Participants with a history of previous vaccination had a significantly higher level of knowledge and more positive attitudes, which resulted in increased vaccination coverage. Therefore, educational strategies to improve knowledge regarding influenza in Riyadh are recommended.

Objectives: The purpose of the study is to assess different aspects of patients’ satisfaction in relation to the health education services provided in Primary Health Care centers at a Major Medical Center in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Research design and methods: This is a cross-sectional survey targeting attendees of PHC centers at Prince Sultan Military Medical City in Riyadh. A total number of 400 participants were enrolled in this study. Data was collected over a 5 months period (Dec 2012 to April 2013). Results: The overall satisfaction reported with health education services was 68%. One to one education clinic was the most preferred method for delivery of health education. The majority of participants preferred the physician as a health education provider. Conclusions: Findings from this study showed that our participants expressed a positive evaluation of the distinct dimensions of the health education services provided. However, services of health education were poorly attended in this institution. Barriers causing poor attendance were attributed to the shortage of trained health education staff, lack of time for the providers, cost, and misunderstanding for the role of the health educator.

Background: The hospital emergency department (ED) is one of the most important components of the healthcare delivery system. This study aims to investigate the public awareness of the Emergency Rooms (ERs) in Saudi Arabia, what the public knows about the provided services, and if they know the difference between the outpatient clinics and the ERs. Methodology: It is a cross-sectional descriptive community-based study, carried out on 977 participants from all age groups, in different areas of Saudi Arabia, from 1 January to 31 July 2019. Data were collected by filling the pre-designed online questionnaire. We utilized the SPSS program version 16. The X2 test was used as a test of significance, and differences considered significant at P value less than 0.05. Results: Most of the participants (87.5%) reported that they knew the difference between the outpatient clinic and ER. The majority (68.1%) of subjects said that ERs mean rapid and unplanned medical care. Regarding evaluation of the provided services in ERs; 32.5% of the cases said it was satisfactory followed by 28.5% good, 19.8% excellent, 10.2% accepted and 10% reported it was unsatisfactory. There were significant relationships between the awareness and age (P=0.03) and education level (P=0.003), but no relationship was found with the gender of the participant (P&gt;0.5). Conclusion: In the current study, most of the participants reported that they knew the difference between the outpatient clinics and ERs. There were significant relationships between the awareness and age and education level, but an insignificant relation was found with the gender of the participant.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization announced that the coronavirus has become a global pandemic that may cause death by infection. Consequently, radical measures were taken to limit the spread of this deadly virus. Public health authorities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, mandated total confinement to limit the spread of the virus. These measures have brought about a fundamental change in people’s daily lifestyles, especially their social lives. Consequently, home confinement has had impacts on psychological health as well. This study aims to evaluate the effects of home confinement on the people of various regions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; we opted for a quantitative study design using an anonymous online survey. A total of 3589 subjects completed the “Scale of Social Lifestyle and Psychological Health for the COVID-19 Pandemic”, which is a survey formulated for the purposes of this research. Results showed that confinement has changed the social lifestyles of the people in KSA, particularly for women and for people aged 30 to 50 years. For psychological health, statistically significant increases were observed in the levels of anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, interpersonal sensitivity, and somatic symptoms, during quarantine. In conclusion, home confinement caused a radical change in the social lifestyles of the citizens of Saudi Arabia. Women, married people and those aged more than 50 years are more affected than others, the psychological impact was moderate to severe in terms of the assessed demographic variables.

The literature shows that data regarding the Saudi public's knowledge about anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is still limited.This study aimed to determine the knowledge toward ACL injury in the general population of Saudi Arabia, as well as to investigate the main sources of information about ACL among the public.A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among a sample of 408 participants from all regions of Saudi Arabia. All participants completed an anonymous self-administered questionnaire, which included questions about their sociodemographic details and a structured tool to measure their knowledge about ACL injuries.The present study showed that among 408 participants, 233 (57.1%) had adequate knowledge about ACL injuries, and 253 (62.0%) appreciated the seriousness of ACL injuries. The level of knowledge about ACL injuries was significantly associated with higher educational level (P = 0.000), but not with sex (P = 0.424) and region of residence (P = 0.404). Most of the participants agreed that ACL injury is a multi-factorial condition that results from a combination of factors, including sports, lack of warm-up before exercise, car accidents, old age, and lifting heavy objects. Internet, TV, and books were the most common sources of information about ACL injuries.While over half of the participants were aware of ACL injury, its seriousness, and its common risk factors, there are still knowledge gaps regarding ACL injury symptoms. Therefore, we recommend increasing public awareness about ACL injury, specifically through health education websites and TV programs.

Skin-lightening products (SLPs) are commonly used worldwide, and their improper use and overuse is becoming a burden on health care workers, including dermatologists.This study aimed to determine the characteristics, determinants, preferences, and side effects of the use of SLPs among Saudi female students and their association with mental health.A cross-sectional analytic study, using a self-administered prevalidated questionnaire, was conducted among female students in the Aljouf region of Saudi Arabia. We used the consecutive nonprobability sampling technique to recruit participants. The questionnaire contained demographic data, two questions about knowledge of SLPs, eight questions regarding perceptions of fair skin, and three proxy scales for mental health (depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, and Internet addiction).The mean age of the participants (± standard deviation) was 29 ± 9.6 years. Of the 760 responders, 427 (56.2%) used SLPs; all were women with relatively light skin (types III-V). There was a unanimous positive perception of lighter skin tone among women. The participants used skin-lighteners for cosmetic and medical conditions (67.2% and 17.5%, respectively). The practice was significantly associated with poor mental health status, poor level of knowledge, and lower sociodemographic status (p < .05).The use of SLPs is highly prevalent among Saudi female students. Users believe that fairer skin is associated with beauty and social advantage. Female students with a lower economic status and poor mental health are more prone to overuse SLPs. A need exists for targeted public health campaigns to raise public awareness about uncontrolled skin lightener usage.

Computerized provider order entry (CPOE) is a health informatics system that helps health care providers create and manage orders for medications and other health care services. Through the automation of the ordering process, CPOE has improved the overall efficiency of hospital processes and workflow. In Saudi Arabia, CPOE has been used for years, with only a few studies evaluating the impacts of CPOE on clinical workflow. In this paper, we discuss the experience of a local hospital with the use of CPOE and its impacts on clinical workflow. Results show that there are many issues related to the implementation and use of CPOE within Saudi Arabia that must be addressed, including design, training, medication errors, alert fatigue, and system dep Recommendations for improving CPOE use within Saudi Arabia are also discussed.

Introduction Jeddah is one of the busiest and multicultural cities in Saudi Arabia. It poses a higher risk of importing and spreading emerging communicable diseases because of the increased international traffic during the seasons of Hajj and Umrah. The Saudi Ministry of Health (MOH) emphasizes the role of primary health care centers (PHCCs) as the first gate of the health care system. Therefore, having an efficient and effective communicable disease surveillance system (CDSS) at the level of PHCCs is crucial to provide early warning and sustain health security. Methods This study took place at all PHCCs in Jeddah city between September 2017 and January 2018 as a descriptive cross-sectional study. Data were collected from CDSS key informants using an interview-based questionnaire to evaluate the performance of CDSS by assessing its core and support functions at PHCCs. Results The majority (93%) of PHCCs had reporting forms, and all of them had working laboratories. However, about 41% of PHCCs had the standard manual and only in the Arabic language, 12% were performing basic data analysis, and none of them had a written plan for epidemic response. Although Internet access was available at only 33% of PHCCs, other resources such as computers, printers, and personal protective equipment (PPE) were available at all PHCCs. Conclusion CDSS at PHCCs had an acceptable performance especially in functions such as reporting, confirmation, and supervision. However, other functions such as detection, registration, data analysis, epidemic preparedness, and feedback need to be strengthened. More comprehensive evaluations are required to further enhance the CDSS in Jeddah and Saudi Arabia.

Abstract Background Migraine is a chronic episodic neurological disorder characterized by a myriad of neurological symptoms including multi-phase attacks of headache, photophobia, phonophobia, and dizziness. To the best of our knowledge, there are no studies conducted about the public perception and attitudes towards migraine in Saudi Arabia. This study aims to determine the public perception and attitudes towards migraine in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This cross-sectional study was conducted during the period between September 2019 and January 2020 in various public places including malls in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The study utilized a 40-item self-administered survey questionnaire divided into two sections: demographic data of the participants and perception of participants towards migraine, which consisted of three parts—knowledge towards migraine, attitudes towards migraine, and the expected behavior of migraine patients. Results The total number of participants was 385. Three hundred and thirty-nine of the participants (88.1%) heard about migraine before. Relatives and friends are the main source of information for 213 participants (55.3%). In gender predominance, 137 (35.6%) believed that migraine affects both genders equally. Complications of migraine headache are not known for 240 participants (62.3%). The existence of medications or methods for treating migraine is not known for 195 (50.6%). The quality of life for patients with migraine is negatively affected according to 275 (70.9%). One hundred sixty-six participants (43.1%) believe that depression and anxiety are more common in migraineurs. Two hundred forty-four (63.4%) considered migraine to cause a huge psychological and social impact. Two hundred fifteen (55.8%) do not have the knowledge to deal with migraineurs. Conclusion The present study demonstrated a lack of knowledge in certain aspects of migraine in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This study will serve as a basis for developing a health educational program aiming to increase public awareness about migraine. It will also improve the understanding of society regarding migraine, which will subsequently improve the way they interact with migraineurs and understand their difficulties. In addition, finding a trusted source for information about different kinds of medical conditions including migraine is crucial in educating the community and providing them with the most recent and correct information.

Severe procedures were undertaken globally because of the COVID-19 pandemic to overcome the spread of the disease and to prevent catastrophic results affecting the health care system including social distancing, lockdowns, and quarantines. Despite the widely known health benefits of Ramadan fasting, there was a general concern regarding the lifestyle of people during Ramadan 2020 that accompanied the period of COVID-19 pandemic and the home confinement applied. The main objective for the current cross-sectional investigation was to investigate the influence of Covid-19 lockdown during Ramadan fasting on weight change on 481 participants in Saudi Arabia. Identifying the contributing risk factors to weight gain were also addressed. Around 42% of the participants had gained weight and around 38% of the participants had lost weight. Physical activity level was shown to be considered as a protective factor against weight gain (OR = 1.03 with P = 0.008), while increasing the number of meals and not adapting healthy cooking methods can both be considered as contributing factors to weight gain (OR = 1.03 with P = 0.009, and OR = 1.03 with P = 0.004, respectively). Assessing these changes during Ramadan of COVID-19 quarantine provided valuable perspective on the health and wellbeing of Saudi Arabia citizens. These findings should be considered in future studies to explore the persistence of Covid-19 related weight status and habit change.

COVID-19 causes moderate to severe illness and is spreading globally. During a pandemic, vitamins and minerals are vital to health. Therefore, the prevalence and epidemiology of supplement use in Saudi Arabia during the COVID-19 pandemic must be known.This cross-sectional study was conducted in Saudi Arabia using an online survey. The study was conducted from June to March 2022 on both adults and children. The link to the survey was shared on social media platforms. The survey included questions on participants' demographics, vaccination status, supplements they used, and side effects of supplements. Participation in this study was optional, and there was no obligation to participate. There was a declaration about the aim of the study and different objectives before starting the survey.The present study reported that most of the participants reported that they used vitamin C (64.6 %), zinc (51.9 %), multivitamins (46.1 %), black seeds (26.7 %), garlic (Allium sativum) (15.4 %), omega-3 (22.1 %), vitamin D (22.2 %), echinacea (10.1 %), manuka honey (26.0 %), curcumin (13.6 %), ginger (22.5 %), royal jelly (12.9 %), and propolis (7.5 %) before and during the COVID-19 pandemic period. These supplements were used more frequently by subjects during the pandemic than before.The respondents' risk of these supplements' use may partially reflect the public's behavioral response during a pandemic. Future studies can document the health beliefs and motivations of nutritional supplement users.

Background: Prevalence estimates for overweight and obesity in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, including Saudi Arabia, have increased over the last 4 decades. Although the World Health Organization encourages countries to implement initiatives aimed at controlling obesity, limited research has been published on the impact of such initiatives in Saudi Arabia. Aims: To assess the epidemiology of overweight and obesity in Saudi Arabia, describe and evaluate the effectiveness of past and current interventions, and recommend actions for prevention and control. Methods: A narrative review of data from the Global Health Observatory was used to determine yearly estimates of prevalence of overweight and obesity in Saudi Arabia from 1975 to 2016. Large-scale interventions aimed at controlling obesity and its risk factors in Saudi Arabia were identified and summarized. Results: Prevalence estimates of overweight and obesity among men and women in Saudi Arabia continued to increase from 1990 to 2019. Prevalence among adults was more than 60% and among children and adolescents it was 20–60%, suggesting a continuing trend. Interventions were identified but their impact on the prevention and control of obesity and its risk factors was unclear. Conclusion: Prevalence estimates of overweight and obesity have been steadily increasing in Saudi Arabia since 1975. Integrated, “whole-of-community” approach, with continuous evaluation, is needed to achieve sustainable prevention and control of obesity in the country.

In the management of chronic disease, evidence suggests that satisfied patients exhibit more loyalty to treatment providers and greater adherence to treatment regimens. This is particularly so in the rehabilitation setting. We aimed to develop a reliable and valid Arabic-language survey to objectively measure inpatient satisfaction in medical rehabilitation settings in Saudi Arabia. The King Fahad Medical City Rehabilitation Hospital Patient Satisfaction Survey (RH PSS) is a self-administered survey that addresses four domains of rehabilitation care: access, structure, process, and outcomes. The RH PSS was developed through four steps. Step 1: An item-generation process utilizing input from patients, rehabilitation professionals, and the relevant literature. Step 2: Individual interviews and focus groups, conducted for cognitive testing of the survey and to examine content validity. Step 3: Assessment of internal consistency and construct validity. Step 4: Survey implementation wherein factor analysis and reliability and validity testing were conducted. The survey was conducted at an acute inpatient medical rehabilitation hospital in Saudi Arabia. A total of 709 rehabilitation inpatients participated. The RH PSS demonstrated reasonable reliability and validity. Cronbach’s alpha for all the RH PSS subscales ranged from 0.81 to 0.89, and 0.96 for the entire survey. Factor analysis showed good correlation of the 33 survey items and the subscales. The RH PSS demonstrated a good level of predictive validity through the high correlation between the global item “intent to recommend” and overall satisfaction (R2 = 0.786, adjusted R2 = 0.783, p = 0.01). The RH PSS is the first satisfaction survey with reported validity and reliability testing to address inpatient rehabilitation settings in Saudi Arabia. Further research involving multiple sites is recommended for nationwide validation.
