Abstract Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has reached alarming levels and is considered to be a worldwide public health problem. One of the most significant factors contributing to the spread of AMR is the lack of proper knowledge about the use of antibiotics, which are being used more frequently in dentistry. Recent studies have found that gamification shows promising results for helping the average person improve their knowledge about health and may also be used to boost knowledge about AMR among the public. This study aimed to assess the effects of gamification on AMR awareness, using a board game to promote knowledge about AMR among the public in Saudi Arabia. Methods Using a single-blinded parallel group randomized controlled trial design, 94 volunteers were recruited and randomized into two groups. The study group received information about AMR by playing a board game, while the control group received the same information given in a conventional lecture. The participants were evaluated three times: (T1) before the intervention, (T2) immediately after the intervention, and (T3) one month after the intervention for follow-up to evaluate their retention of the information. Results Results showed that there were significant improvements ( p < 0.05) in knowledge scores for T2 and T3 in comparison to the T1 baseline scores in both groups. However, the knowledge scores also relapsed significantly from T2 to T3 in both groups. Nevertheless, the difference in knowledge score T1 to T3 was significantly higher in the study group in comparison to the control group, and the participants had higher mean scores to use the game as health promotion method. Conclusions Gamification using a board game can significantly improve AMR knowledge, with better retention than conventional lecture. It is a promising method for boosting public knowledge about AMR and its relationship to dentistry. Trial registration ISRCTN registry: ISRCTN15884410 (retrospectively registered 26-October-2019).

Abstract Background The neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are endemic in several Arab countries. The purpose of the current study was to assess the contribution of researchers in Arab countries to the knowledge base on NTDs using bibliometric indicators. Methods Keywords related to all 20 NTDs were obtained from previously published bibliometric studies and were combined with the names of Arab countries listed as country affiliation. the search strategy was implemented in the Scopus database and bibliometric indicators were generated for the study period from 1971 to 2020 Results The search strategy generated 6542 documents; representing less than 4% of the global research in the field. Scientific research on NTDs from researchers in Arab countries (a) has experienced slow growth; (b) generated a relatively inadequate number of publications over the study period; (c) was disseminated mainly through journals in the field of parasitology or tropical medicine; (d) was contributed by researchers from the 22 Arab countries, but mainly by researchers from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan; (e) has fragmented author networks with weak collaboration between active authors in the field; (f) was characterized by strong cross-country research collaboration with researchers in the US and the UK; (g) has focused on three main diseases, specifically, schistosomiasis, leishmaniasis, and onchocerciasis, and (h) showed less emphasis on soil-transmitted helminthiasis infections despite high prevalence. Conclusions Arab countries cannot achieve the 2030 global agenda without control and elimination of prevalent NTDs. Researchers in Arab countries need to establish strong research networks to exchange expertise on all NTDs.

Acne vulgaris is the commonest dermatological problem internationally and nationally. Its incidence is increasing every year in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Though it is not a major health issue but it significantly affects the patient cosmetically, psychologically and socially. Previous studies have shown its association with lifestyle (age, diet, stress, sleep, smoking, exercise, obesity, etc.) and family history. By simple cost-effective lifestyle modification, its occurrence and late consequences could be minimized. Few hospital-based studies are done on this issue in Hail City, KSA. Hence present cross-sectional study was designed where data was collected by Google-Form from 484 residents of Hail City. Results have revealed that 65% of our respondents were suffering from mild to moderate Acne. Thirty percent of the respondents had BMI equal to more than 30. Majority of respondents (81%) had acne on whole face. Similarly, dairy products were also consumed by more than 50%. Majority of respondents (more than 50%) took chocolates, fast foods, oily foods and sea-foods. Nuts were taken quite often by 37% of respondents. Age between 21-25 years and oily skin have a highly significant association (p = 0.000) with development of acne. Other variables that show significant association with acne were being obese, stressful, irregular menstrual cycles and excessive intake of nuts. Hence there is a need to address this issue in order to design recommendations for the general public to minimize the incidence and consequences of acne vulgaris by simple lifestyle modifications.

Background: Accidents may occur at any time and in any location. Unintentional accidents may have life-threatening consequences. Anyone with basic first aid knowledge can assess the situation and intervene to provide proper care. This research aims to assess public knowledge and attitudes toward first aid and its related aspects in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted between April and May 2023 to investigate first aid knowledge, attitude, and associated factors among the general public of Saudi Arabia. This study's population consisted of Saudi Arabians aged at least 18 who are part of the general community. This research adapted and used a previously developed questionnaire to evaluate the general public's knowledge, attitudes, and other characteristics about first aid in Saudi Arabia. A binary logistic regression analysis was utilized to determine the variables that influence their knowledge and attitude. Results: A total of 1135 participants were involved in this study. Almost one-third of the study participants (36.0%) reported that they had received training in first aid. The vast majority of the study participants (94.5%) reported that they had heard of first aid before. The media was the most commonly reported source of information on first aid (37.6%). Choking (63.2%), breathing difficulty (61.7%), and fainting (56.7%) were the most commonly reported indications (injuries or accidents) that need first aid. The mean knowledge score for the study participants was 4.4 (SD: 2.8) out of 8 (55.0%), which represents a moderate level of knowledge of first aid. The mean attitude score for the study participants was 22.5 (SD: 2.7) out of 28 (80.4%), which reflects a positive attitude toward first aid. Binary logistic regression analysis identified that women, those who have a higher education level, medical students, those with a high monthly income (7500 Saudi Arabian rials (SAR) and above), and those who work in the healthcare sector were more likely to be knowledgeable about first aid (p<0.05). Participants aged 31 to 40 years and university students were more likely to have a positive attitude toward first aid (p<0.05). Conclusion: This research highlights the need to educate the public about first aid and emergency treatment. Even though one-third of participants have received first aid training, ongoing training is necessary. First aid information, especially on social media, is often unreliable. Choking, difficulty breathing, and syncope are typical first aid conditions, and awareness of dealing with choking is needed. Gender, socioeconomic status, and education influenced first aid knowledge and attitudes. Women, medical students, and healthcare workers knew more about first aid. Most participants supported first aid provision. This research strongly suggests improving awareness, providing inexpensive first-aid training, and targeting specific populations to improve first-aid knowledge and attitudes.

Background & aims Iron deficiency anemia is a public health problem affecting both developing and developed countries, with devastating consequences on health as well as social and economic development. However, there are scarce data regarding community awareness in Saudi Arabia; therefore, this study was conducted to assess the awareness of the community about the relationship between black tea consumption and iron deficiency anemia. Materials and methods A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted, with 231 participants from Al-Ahsa region agreeing to participate voluntarily. The study instrument gathered sociodemographic data on the participants and asked them awareness-related questions. Results None of the study participants was completely aware of iron-rich foods, although the majority of the participants had a decent awareness level. Statistically significant differences were found between age, educational level, and type, the number of cups of black tea consumed per day, and awareness of the relationship between black tea consumption and iron deficiency anemia. Conclusions and recommendations Based on the finding that the majority of the participants had moderate awareness, education and awareness-raising strategies should be planned and offered to improve nutritional habits and to encourage refraining from the consumption of food and drinks that hinder iron bioavailability.

Background The most common religious mass gatherings in the Middle East are the Hajj at Mecca in Saudi Arabia, which occurs annually, and the Arbaeenia in Karbala. The importance of developing public health surveillance systems for mass gatherings has been previously emphasized in other reports. Objective This study aimed to describe the common illnesses and health conditions affecting people during the Arbaeenia mass gathering in Iraq in 2016. Methods A total of 60 data collectors took part in the field data collection over a period of 11 days, from November 12, 2016 to November 22, 2016. Data were collected from 20 health outlets along the major route from Najaf to Karbala (10 health facilities in each governorate). Two digital forms, the Health Facility Survey and the Case Survey, were used for data collection. Results A total of 41,689 patients (33.3% female and 66.7% male) visited the 20 health care facilities over a period of 11 days from November 12, 2016 to November 22, 2016. More than three quarters of patients (77.5%; n=32,309) were between 20-59 years of age, more than half of patients were mainly from Iraq (56.5%; n=23,554), and about 38.9% (n=16,217) were from Iran. Patients in this study visited these health care facilities and presented with one or more conditions. Of a total 41,689 patients, 58.5% (n=24,398) had acute or infectious conditions and symptoms, 33.1% (n=13,799) had chronic conditions, 23.9% (n=9974) had traumas or injuries, 28.2% (n=11,762) had joint pain related to walking long distances, and 0.3% (n=133) had chronic dermatologic conditions. Conclusions The Arbaeenia mass gathering in 2016 exerted a high burden on the Iraqi health care system. Therefore, efforts must be made both before and during the event to ensure preparedness, proper management, and control of different conditions.

The study of the concentrations and effects of fine particulate matter in urban areas have been of great interest to researchers in recent times. This is due to the acknowledgment of the far-reaching impacts of fine particulate matter on public health. Remote sensing data have been used to monitor the trend of concentrations of particulate matter by deriving aerosol optical depth (AOD) from satellite images. The Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) has released the second version of its global PM2.5 data with improvement in spatial resolution. This paper revisits the study of spatial and temporal variations in particulate matter in Saudi Arabia by exploring the cluster analysis of the new data. Cluster analysis of the PM2.5 values of Saudi cities is performed by using Anselin local Moran&rsquo;s I statistic. Also, the analysis is carried out at the regional level by using self-organizing map (SOM). The results show an increasing trend in the concentrations of particulate matter in Saudi Arabia, especially in some selected urban areas. The eastern and south-western parts of the Kingdom have significantly clustering high values. Some of the PM2.5 values have passed the threshold indicated by the World Health Organization (WHO) standard and targets posing health risks to Saudi urban population.

Construction site safety concerns in small construction projects in Saudi Arabia are alarming due to the large number of accidents per year. The purpose of this research is to explore construction worker's perceptions regarding construction site safety climate. An integrative model of workplace safety has been utilised to design and administer a questionnaire to workers in five small residential construction sites in the city of Najran. The results demonstrate a lack of adherence to occupational health and safety regulations by employers, a need for construction site safety protocols and enhanced external inspection systems, an unawareness among participants in regards to the safety measures endorsed by their companies, and indications of leniency due to favouritism by external inspectors. In conclusion, the study contributes to construction science and practice by identifying factors contributing to construction worker perception of safety which may help employers enhance the safety climate of small construction sites.

There is evidence that type 2 diabetes self-management programmes may have a positive impact on health outcomes of adults living in Gulf countries. However, none of the programmes evaluated were developed using evidence about the specific needs of adults with Type 2 diabetes living in the Gulf countries. This study is part of a wider programme of research, which uses a cultural adaptation framework to generate information on how to tailor type 2 diabetes self-management to the Saudi context.Secondary data analysis of the Saudi Health Interview Survey (SHIS) (N = 10,821) was conducted. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression modelling assessed factors associated with type 2 diabetes and its control / self-management including sociodemographic factors (e.g. age, gender), lifestyle (e.g. diet, physical activity), and health seeking behaviours (e.g. chronic illnesses, health services).7% (N = 808) of all participants had type 2 diabetes (59% male), however it represents 35% at or above 55 years. In multivariate analysis at older age, being overweight or obese, male, having hypertension, and reporting a reduction in health status in the 12 months prior to questionnaire completion, were significantly associated with having type 2 diabetes. Participants who reported walking for more than 10 min per day were less likely to report type 2 diabetes. Unexpectedly there was a significant association between type 2 diabetes and lower frequency of fast food intake, while increased fruit and vegetable intake was associated with poor glycaemic control.Being overweight and/or hypertensive are concomitant with type 2 diabetes in Saudi Arabia. Any self-management programmes for type 2 diabetes patients with either of these conditions should be tailored accordingly. Walking behaviours should be prioritised in Saudi self-management programmes. Prediabetes management programmes may be of special importance to the Saudi community.

Background COVID-19 outbreak was sudden and unexpected in most countries. It has spread globally between January and March 2020. The World Health Organization (WHO) first declared the outbreak as a global pandemic on 11 March 2020. While this lockdown has proven to be an important and successful method of social distancing to counter the growing spread of the highly contagious COVID-19 virus, it has also created a degree of psychological impact on the public. Children may be strongly exposed to pandemic-generated biopsychosocial stressors, and once the containment measures of the population are needed to minimize the spread of viruses, they may be negatively impacted by the disturbance of everyday life as a result of social isolation. During school closures, children's routines may change, and healthy behaviors, such as physical activity, adequate diet, or good sleeping habits, may be less likely to happen. Method A cross-sectional study was conducted in Saudi Arabia from 20 March 2021 to 30 March 2021, targeted at children's parents and adolescents. Our concentration was on the impact of COVID-19 on the psychiatric wellbeing of children and adolescents. The data was collected through an online self-administered questionnaire which contains 56 close-ended questions for parents of children and 46 close-ended questions for adolescents. Statistical analysis was performed using R v 3.6.3 (R Foundation, Vienna, Austria). Counts and percentages were used to summarize the distribution of categorical variables. Results The questionnaire was completed by 1141 respondents, 454 were < 18 years old. Thus, these respondents completed the questionnaire on behalf of themselves. The remaining 688 respondents were adults and completed the questionnaire on behalf of their children. Results showed that higher children's age was associated with less increase in worrying, restlessness, and a higher increase in sadness. Higher age was associated with a higher increase in the frequency of waking up, sleeping little, and uneasiness, and nervousness. Having relatives who were infected with COVID-19 was associated with higher increases in most of the negative behaviors such as anxiety, sadness, sleeping little, indecisiveness, and irritability. Punishment threats, screaming, and hitting were associated with a higher increase in negative behaviors during the pandemic compared to before the pandemic. Results showed that neither the gender of the parent nor the child was associated with any of the domains of the child's behavior. Children whose parents were divorced had higher scores on anxiety, restlessness, and sleep disorders than children whose parents were not divorced Conclusion COVID-19 has caused increased stress on families, especially children and adolescents who are vulnerable populations. Our results show that the COVID-19 pandemic can affect the mental health of children and adolescents in Saudi Arabia. We showed that parental stress is a predictor of psychiatric problems, which, if unaddressed, can cause child maltreatment and greater psychological distress.

Outbreaks of respiratory virus infection at mass gatherings pose significant health risks to attendees, host communities, and ultimately the global population if they help facilitate viral emergence. However, little is known about the genetic diversity, evolution, and patterns of viral transmission during mass gatherings, particularly how much diversity is generated by in situ transmission compared to that imported from other locations. Here, we describe the genome-scale evolution of influenza A viruses sampled from the Hajj pilgrimages at Makkah during 2013 to 2015. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the diversity of influenza viruses at the Hajj pilgrimages was shaped by multiple introduction events, comprising multiple cocirculating lineages in each year, including those that have circulated in the Middle East and those whose origins likely lie on different continents. At the scale of individual hosts, the majority of minor variants resulted from de novo mutation, with only limited evidence of minor variant transmission or minor variants circulating at subconsensus level despite the likely identification of multiple transmission clusters. Together, these data highlight the complexity of influenza virus infection at the Hajj pilgrimages, reflecting a mix of global genetic diversity drawn from multiple sources combined with local transmission, and reemphasize the need for vigilant surveillance at mass gatherings.IMPORTANCE Large population sizes and densities at mass gatherings such as the Hajj (Makkah, Saudi Arabia) can contribute to outbreaks of respiratory virus infection by providing local hot spots for transmission followed by spread to other localities. Using a genome-scale analysis, we show that the genetic diversity of influenza A viruses at the Hajj gatherings during 2013 to 2015 was largely shaped by the introduction of multiple viruses from diverse geographic regions, including the Middle East, with only little evidence of interhost virus transmission at the Hajj and seemingly limited spread of subconsensus mutational variants. The diversity of viruses at the Hajj pilgrimages highlights the potential for lineage cocirculation during mass gatherings, in turn fuelling segment reassortment and the emergence of novel variants, such that the continued surveillance of respiratory pathogens at mass gatherings should be a public health priority.

Introduction: Dementia is a major cause of morbidity and dependence. The number of elderly individuals living with dementia worldwide is expected to rise up to 131 million by 2050. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is estimated to be one of the highest prevalence regions. However, there are limited numbers of studies in the region, especially on the primary care level. This study aims to determine the prevalence of dementia and identify the most important modifiable risk factors in our sample. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used utilizing the non-probability convenience sampling technique. A questionnaire including demographic data, the Arabic version of the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ9) to screen for depression, and the Arabic version of the eight-item Alzheimer's Dementia (AD8) to screen for dementia, were administered to participants recruited from six primary healthcare centers in Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia. Results: This study found the prevalence of dementia to be 16% and 11% assuming cutoff points of 3 and 4, respectively, using the Arabic version of AD8, with depression and dyslipidemia as important modifiable risk factors for dementia in our sample. Conclusion: Primary healthcare professionals should be aware of the important modifiable risk factors such as dyslipidemia and depression in the population to be able to develop strategies for early detection and slowing down the progression of dementia. Further research to identify other modifiable risk factors in the population is recommended.

In the era of the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the race toward shielding the public through vaccination is still going. Patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) require special consideration given their medical needs and the common side effects of immunization, affecting their decision. Therefore, we aimed to assess the perception and hesitancy toward COVID-19 vaccination in this population and explore the possible factors when it comes to vaccination decisions. The present cross-sectional phone interview study was conducted between May 10 and 20, 2021. The questionnaire was administered by the medical staff. The participants were all patients with SCD presented to King Abdulaziz University Hospital in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Results: Out of 346 patients, 147 patients agreed to participate. Only 52 (35.37%) patients received at least one dose of the nationally available vaccines, and there were no reported serious side effects. Among the unvaccinated participants, 45 patients (47.8%) were undecided. The most reported reasons for hesitancy were the fear of developing complications as their acquaintance had and the fear of developing brain blood clots post vaccination. The number of vaccinated patients with SCD was unfortunately low in our study, secondary to hesitancy. This represents a significant barrier and needs to be tackled appropriately at any proper interaction with a patient with SCD. The absence of major side effects and vaso-occlusive crises is assuring.

ABSTRACT
Most consultations in primary care end with a prescription for medication. As a result, the potential for error in prescriptions and the potential harm to patients must be carefully considered and action taken to increase the safety of patients in these situations. Policy makers and health professionals have an obligation to protect public health. This review aims to compare and critically assess the main policies, initiatives, and guidance that have been developed to improve the safety of prescribing in primary care in the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia. The report also suggests particular areas of need that might be addressed to enhance the safety of prescribing in the 2 countries.

This study had three objectives: firstly, it aimed to examine an appropriate model for preventing and controlling the risk of meningococcal disease as a result of an epidemic carrying by returning pilgrims at Hat Yai International Airport; secondly, it aimed to establish the number of meningococcal carriers among pilgrims returning from Saudi Arabia; thirdly, it considered the health problems that arose during the Hajj pilgrimage. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 374 pilgrims at the Hat Yai airport checkpoint between March 15th and April 2nd, 2001. Each subject provided a naso-pharyngeal swab and reported on their health status by postcard once they had reached their homes 7-10 days later. It was found that most of the pilgrims were from Satun Province (23%). The average age was 50.5 years (range 20 to 86; SD 12.8). More than half of the pilgrims had some knowledge of meningococcal meningitis. Most, about 80.7%, knew that vaccination against meningococcal infection is required before traveling to Saudi Arabia. About 77.8% were vaccinated at the Provincial Health Office (PHO) in their hometown. Nearly 19% had underlying diseases such as chronic cough, asthma, diabetes, hypertension, headache and rheumatism. During their pilgrimage some were troubled by symptoms of respiratory tract disease, fever and headache. All had negative laboratory results. Only 16.6% returned postcards describing their self-assessed health status. About 30.6% described themselves as healthy. Among those who reported sick, coughs, sore throats and stomach aches were prevalent. Health education and public information about vaccine need to be strengthened. The best place to get the vaccination is their hometown PHO. Trained health personnel, instead of tour leaders or guides, should pay attention to the health of the pilgrims. The tour leaders are an important target group for improved health knowledge because most pilgrims will trust and follow them. Even though there were negative laboratory results, it is worth having a good surveillance system for meningococcal meningitis in order to prevent epidemics and reduce mortality among returning pilgrims.

To assess the quality and effect of antenatal health education on health-related issues during pregnancy, and the benefits to women during the peri-partum period.This is a descriptive study of 300 women attending the Postnatal Clinics and Women Health Clinics in 2 Family Medicine centers at King AbdulAziz Medical City, National Guard Health Affairs, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The study was carried out between November 2009 and February 2010. A predesigned questionnaire was used.Three hundred women completed the questionnaire. Most women made their first antenatal visit during the fourth month of pregnancy, and most had 3-6 antenatal care (ANC) visits. Highly educated mothers had significantly more ANC visits and attended the first visit earlier. Nearly 80% of subjects were satisfied with the health education provided during ANC visits. Multiparous women were found to receive less health education than primiparous women. Most reported receiving education on breast feeding (83%), signs of labor (75.3%), and baby care (74.7%). However, most of the subjects did not receive all of the important information that should be given during ANC. There was a negative linear relationship between health education score of women and their age.This study quantified the inadequate level of health education received by pregnant women during ANC.

There is high public health alert in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia concerning Zika virus infection. So far, there is no reported outbreak. So are we at risk of this disease? Reviewing the literature of recent outbreaks of other infectious diseases in Saudi Arabia may clarify the situation. It is evident that there is some similarity between Zika and dengue regarding vector (Aedes aegypti) which is available in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, they have similar transmission process and the required environment for infection. It seems that the Kingdom has learned from previous outbreaks, so they are well prepared to face such challenges. The Saudi Ministry of Health built the command and control center to deal with the pandemic flues. Furthermore, they are trying to create a center for disease control, and they are recruiting local and international experts in monitoring the emerging infections.

Background Breast cancer (BC) is known to be the second leading cause of cancer deaths after lung cancer in Saudi Arabia. Early detection using screening methods can improve disease outcomes. In Saudi Arabia, the rates of BC screening are very low although it is a country that provides free healthcare services. This discrepancy between the availability of free healthcare services and women not utilizing these services necessitates an in-depth understanding of the health-related beliefs and barriers towards BC screening among Saudi women. Objective We aimed to use the Health Belief Model (HBM) to predict the uptake of mammographic screening among Saudi women. The secondary objective was to determine the knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to BC and mammography screening. Research methodology This was an analytical cross-sectional study using a self-administered questionnaire, which consisted of sociodemographic data, family history of BC, general information about BC, and the Champion's Health Belief Model Scale (CHBMS). The study was conducted among Saudi women visiting the King Khalid University Hospital in Riyadh from September 2018 to February 2019. The data were analyzed using SPSS Statistics software version 26.00 (IBM, Armonk, NY). Results A total of 401 females participated in the study; the median age of the subjects was 49 years [interquartile range (IQR): 43-53 years]. Among them, 69.6% were married and 21.1% had a family history of BC. There was a statistically significant association of younger age, marital status, and a positive family history of BC with women undergoing mammographic screening (p<0.05). Of the participants, 61.6% knew about the warning signs of BC, while only 59.9% were aware of the risk factors associated with it. The binary logistic regression did not show any significant association between CHBMS and mammogram screening. We concluded that the CHBMS components cannot be used in isolation to predict the risk of not undergoing mammogram screening. However, barriers and motivation components along with the knowledge and other factors can be used to predict mammogram screening. Conclusion Among our cohort of Saudi women, 62.1% had general awareness about BC, and younger age, marital status, and positive family history of BC were significantly associated with women undergoing mammography screening. The CHBMS components cannot be used in isolation to predict the risk of not undergoing mammogram screening, while barriers and motivation components along with the knowledge and other factors can be used to predict mammogram screening.

In this issue, there are 11 communications that focus on infectious diseases caused by parasites or bacteria. This underscores the persistence and the importance of parasitic and bacterial infectious diseases such as leishmaniasis, schistosomiasis, salmonellosis, and brucellosis in this part of the world. This also emphasizes the difference in the pattern of infectious diseases between developing and developed countries. The variation in the causation of infectious diseases makes the Annals of Saudi Medicine and the Saudi Medical Journal suitable for the presentation and discussion of infections that are pertinent to this part of the world. Medical journals elsewhere may regard these diseases as exotic or esoteric. One rarely sees a report on brucellosis in the American or European literature. In this issue, however, there are three communications that discuss the problem of brucellosis. This points out the fact that brucellosis remains a public health problem in the Arabian Peninsula. Certain infectious diseases have been eradicated on a wide scale with mass vaccination; others have been controlled by rigorous public health measures. The persistence of infections is due to the emergence of new mutants and the evolution of old diseases. Furthermore, the growth of the compromised host population due to the use of immunosuppressive agents or due to viral diseases such as AIDS has led to a change in the pattern of infectious diseases in Western countries.The propagation of brucellosis, a zoonotic infectious disease, is predominantly due to the persistence of large reservoirs of the organism among livestock such as camels, sheep, goats, and cows.Brucellosis is usually transmitted to man by drinking raw milk or consumption of its unpasteurized products such as cheese. Close contact with infected animals, milking of animals, handling infected animal meat or contact with placental membranes are other modes of transmission of brucellosis. The current reports from various regions, especially remote villages and Bedouin communities of Saudi Arabia, point to a serious health problem [1–3]. Visitors to endemic areas may become infected by consumption of infected animal products. Furthermore, with air travel, geographic barriers of diseases are being disrupted. The disease is both curable and preventable. In this issue, new fluoroquinolones have been found to be effective in vitro against isolates Brucella melitensis[4]. Several other antibiotics are also effective against the disease. Early detection and prompt treatment are mandatory.The General Directorate of Infectious and Parasitic diseases (GDIP) at the Ministry of Health (MOH) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has established programs for the training of laboratory technicians in the detection of brucella antibodies. In addition, health education programs for brucellosis have been initiated by the Ministry of Health in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture for personnel handling livestock and for the general public. Furthermore, a brucellosis control committee consisting of members from the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Municipalities and Rural Affairs has been established. The major objective of this committee is the eradication of brucellosis from Saudi Arabia. The Ministry of Agriculture has been very active in this area and its efforts in the control of infection among livestock are very much appreciated. Camels, sheep, cows, and goats may cross the borders of countries of the Arabian Peninsula either by trade, by shepherds, or in the wild. Currently, there is no legislation governing the migration of livestock. It is possible that Brucella infected animals may cross the borders without any restrictions.Prevention of brucellosis should be given top priority by the health authorities of the countries of the Arabian Peninsula. Wide scale mass livestock vaccination with attenuated strains of Brucella organism is safe and effective. All infected livestock should be exterminated. Public health education programs should be initiated. Joint efforts among the GCC countries should be encouraged to initiate collaboration on the prevention of brucellosis from the Arabian Peninsula. Health collaboration among the GCC countries could make brucellosis a model for the eradication of endemic diseases from the Arabian Peninsula.ARTICLE REFERENCES:1. Al-Sekait MA.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the pivotal public health issues in Saudi Arabia currently. There is a need to examine the knowledge and awareness of the health professions' students who are going to be the caretakers of the public in years to come.The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge and awareness of CRC in health and allied students of our Health Sciences University in Saudi Arabia.An online predesigned and validated and self-administered Survey/Questionnaire was dispensed to all health and allied students. Descriptive statistics was performed using SPSS. Data were analyzed by demographic distributions to determine if students of these groups displayed any differential awareness and knowledge for CRC.A total of 372 of students answered the online questionnaire with a mean age of 20 + 7.3 (SD) years. There was almost an equal distribution of male (47.8%) and female (52.2%) students and majority of them were single (97.3%). In this study, we found that the students were not having any knowledge of the epidemiology of CRC in Saudi Arabia. The knowledge about the various risk factors of CRC was also very dismal; only a minority of them (34.4%) was able to identify 5 out of 12 CRC risk factors correctly. However, 59.7% of students had no idea about the test/examination methods that are used in screening and detection of CRC, but majority (76.1%) of them were aware that people should get screened for CRC.A very low level of awareness and knowledge about CRC was observed in this study among all health and allied students. We strongly recommend that there is a dire need of proactive aggressive preventive medicine campaigns, educational programs, and curricular modifications for the students to prepare them for the challenges posed by increasing burden of cancer in the kingdom.

This paper is aiming to briefly discuss the role of health surveillance system in strengthening public health at both the local and global level and the use of health informatics in effectively creating a database of health status for the population of Saudi Arabia. This review will specifically focus on the challenges that face the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in order to effectively implement surveillance programs making use of advances in health information technology. Data collection was performed through a web-based retrieval of reports and articles and via an interview with an epidemiologist in the Saudi Ministry of Health Surveillance unit. Based on the results of this research, it was found that the use of technology has led to an improvement in communication between various stakeholders (e.g. clinicians, epidemiologists, and decision makers) by providing timely and accurate information needed for informed decision making. However, implementing an ideal model of surveillance systems in Saudi Arabia faces many challenges particularly in training healthcare providers to be qualified and competent enough to ensure the successful implementation of a disease surveillance system.

Since 1992, we have managed more than 700 children with meningococcal disease. Last year, we reported four cases of Hajj-related serogroup W135 meningococcal disease.1Bolt P Britto J Nadel S Levin M Meningococcal disease due to W135: fresh public health concerns.Arch Dis Child. 2001; 84: 89Crossref Google Scholar After this year's Hajj in March, we admitted a further six paediatric patients with meningococcal W135 infection (three were confirmed Type A, P1.2, 1.5, the Hajj-related serogroup), two of whom died. Each year, more than 1 million Muslim pilgrims travel to Mecca for the Hajj, around 20 000 from the UK. Last year, the Public Health Laboratory Service (PHLS) reported in the UK an outbreak of Hajj-related W135 meningococcal infection. Cases continued to be reported 9 months after the Hajj, which suggests sustained transmission of the strain.2Communicable Disease Surveillance CentreMeningococcal disease in pilgrims returning from Hajj.Commun Dis Rep CDR Wkly. 2001; 11: 12Google Scholar A similar pattern has followed this year's Hajj pilgrimage. This year, the UK Department of Health recommended the quadrivalent meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine, which provides protection against strains A, C, W135, and Y, for all pilgrims travelling for Hajj or Umrah. Despite the recommendations being distributed to health-care professionals and the Muslim community, the estimated uptake of the vaccine for this year's pilgrimage was less than 50%.3Communicable Disease Surveillance CentreMeningococcal disease associated with the Hajj 2001: update.Commun Dis Rep CDR Wkly. 2001; 11: 19Google Scholar No pilgrim contact of our admissions this year had been vaccinated with the quadrivalent vaccine. The higher personal cost (UK£17.14, excluding value added tax) compared with the previously recommended A and C polysaccharide vaccine (£6.39), and the fact that travel to Saudi Arabia, until recently, required only a certificate of vaccination against A and C strains, may well have contributed to this situation. Cost remains an issue for future consideration. Although the manufacturers report 50–85% seroconversion against serogroup W135, the polysaccharide vaccine might not affect nasopharyngeal carriage.4Communicable Diseases CentreAssessment of risk for meningococcal disease associated with the Hajj 2001.MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2001; 50: 221-228PubMed Google Scholar Therefore, secondary cases of W135 meningococcal infection could still occur in the UK, despite quadrivalent vaccination. Even if travellers have been vaccinated with the polysaccharide vaccine, contacts should be made aware of the possibility of contracting meningococcal disease. In the USA, the quadrivalent vaccine is routinely administered to travellers to Saudi Arabia. A recent US study reported that around 1% of returning Hajj pilgrims became W135 carriers.4Communicable Diseases CentreAssessment of risk for meningococcal disease associated with the Hajj 2001.MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2001; 50: 221-228PubMed Google Scholar Because of the low rate of serogroup W135 carriage, antimicrobial chemoprophylaxis was not recommended. Currently, there are no UK data on changes in nasopharyngeal carriage rates in returning pilgrims. Similar studies in the UK could alter future recommendations. Maiden and colleagues5Maiden MCJ Spratt BG Meningococcal conjugate vaccines: new opportunities and new challenges.Lancet. 1999; 354: 615-616Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (102) Google Scholar suggest that, after the introduction of meningococcal C vaccine in the UK, the epidemiological niche created might be occupied by hypervirulent strains of meningococci, including W135. Small changes in carriage of hypervirulent strains might greatly affect disease rates. With the theoretical risk of other serogroups becoming more prevalent as meningococcal C disease is controlled, continued clinical, laboratory, and epidemiological vigilance would be prudent throughout the year.

Periodontal disease is associated with other non-communicable diseases including diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis, hypertension, and respiratory tract infections. This association merits careful study of the general population's awareness level in order to leverage the current state of science to improve general health and quality of life. This study included 502 residents of Saudi Arabia who received computer-assisted interviews to fill up the survey. Results indicated a low level of awareness among the study population regarding the association of periodontal disease to diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis, hypertension, and respiratory tract infections. A higher level of awareness was noticed with individuals with periodontal disease, themselves or a member of their family having a systemic disease, and who have a specialized person or scientific article as their source of information. This observed low level of awareness deserves the attention of public health authorities to prioritize programs that increase the awareness, improve health, and reduce burden of systemic diseases of high prevalence, morbidity, and mortality.

World-wide community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a common respiratory tract infection and is now a growing public health concern in the GCC region. Practice guidelines are derived statements which lead to informed clinical decision making. National and regional guidelines have been developed in North America, South America, South Africa and Western Europe to assist practitioners managing patients with CAP and have demonstrated to improve patients outcome. Four years have elapsed since the publication of the Saudi Arabian CAP guideline and notable changes in the area of CAP demand revision of this earlier document. We expanded previous guidelines to a regional level in a number of ways: by incorporating changes in antimicrobial resistance profiles in the region, by considering the regional availability of antibiotics and diagnostic procedures, by including emerging data on new advancements in diagnosis and treatment of CAP and, finally, by adopting an evidence-based approach in grading relevant data. The current document seeks to target primary care physicians who manage most patients with CAP in the GCC region. All available and relevant peer reviewed studies published until June 2007 were considered in the literature review. Based on the strength of the evidence, we graded our recommendations to high-level (Level I), moderate-level (Level II), and low-level (Level III) evidence.

Type II diabetes is a global health concern. This epidemic is elevating in increasing rates in Saudi Arabia. Thus, the study investigates a number of risk factors of Type II diabetes in Hail region, one of Saudi Arabia’s highest regions in diabetes records among adults. Data are collected using diabetic subjects from the Diabetes Registry Records in King Khalid Hospital at the city of Hail, Saudi Arabia, where 200 subjects’ records from 2014 to 2018 were included. A binary logistic regression was utilized to assess the association between age, gender, obesity, hypertension, family history, hypercholesterolemia, and hyperglyceridemia as risk factors and Type II diabetes. Some risk factors yielded statistical significant associations such as age (OR = 486.00 for 61 and older; OR = 468.00 for 51 - 60; and OR = 130.50 for 41 - 50; p-values ≤ 0.01), obesity (OR = 3.088; p-value ≤ 0.01), and hypertension (OR = 8.476; p-value ≤ 0.01), while gender, family history, hypercholesterolemia, and hyperglyceridemia were insignificant risk factors in our study. Proper intervention measures targeting diabetes risk factors may tackle or delay this public health issue.

Saudi Arabia is continuously working on developing its health care system, however with the high prevalence of type 2 diabetes and comorbidities, such as cardiovascular diseases, self-management education programmes are essential. As part of a planned series of studies to develop a culturally sensitive type 2 diabetes self-management programme, this study explores the need versus barriers and facilitators relevant to implementing a national programme for type 2 diabetes self-management education within the community and health care system in Saudi Arabia.A qualitative methodology was used to explore the views of a multidisciplinary group of diabetes health professionals and adult patients with type 2 diabetes. The views of nine health professionals working at a specialised diabetes care centre were gathered at two focus groups (four and five) that included doctors, nutritionists, health educators and nurses. Individual interviews with 12 patients with type 2 diabetes (six females and six males) attending the centre were also carried out. Recurring themes through the translated transcripts were studied and treated by the research group under pre-set protocols.Focus groups with health professionals revealed three main themes. 1. Resources: availability of resources and how they impacted on performance and patients' care; 2.Familiarity with self-management education programmes: educating patients and raising awareness among them; and 3. Lifestyle: patients' lifestyle and how it could affect their compliance with self-management programmes. Interviews with patients also revealed three main themes. 1. Habits: post diagnosis changes in patients' attitudes and behaviours towards diet and physical activity; 2. Health education: awareness of managing type 2 diabetes through health centre advice or self-education; and 3. Culture and society: a lack of cultural or social support created by some social practices or conventions.The findings from this study highlight a gap in type 2 diabetes care system that can be breached through the development of a Saudi specific self-management programme for type 2 diabetes. The identified barriers and facilitators can be used for adapting a self-management programme to the Saudi context. However, initial training is needed for local health professionals to understand the mechanisms of self-management programmes. Such programmes will need to infiltrate to the society, and the patients' families, in particular to tackle the rising prevalence of type 2 diabetes in Saudi Arabia and provide a friendlier, more supportive environment for the current patients to self-manage their diabetes.

Background: Variation in gaining accessibility to public hospitals in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, has not been investigated before. Good access to public health facility will lead to improvements in the population’s health. Maps and geographical information system (GIS) technology can provide assistance to address public health coverage issues. Aims: This study aimed to use GISs to identify spatial accessibility to hospitals in Makkah, based on the radius and drive-time analysis technique. Method: Using Quantum GIS (QGIS), a geodatabase was created to include 8 public hospitals’ locations and data of population distribution across the city. Buffer zones at 2.5, 5, 7, and 10 km radius from the public hospitals were identified and examined. Results: The findings revealed that most of the health facilities across the suburbs of Makkah were located in urban areas, while rural and remote areas were neglected. Conclusion: Public health facilities were distributed relative to high population density. One-third of the city’s population does not have proper access to healthcare services.

Purpose: To determine the prevalence and visual characteristics of patients seen by optometrists and ophthalmologists in Saudi Arabian public hospitals. This model will demonstrate the efficacy, safety and effectiveness of optometrists as the primary point of contact for eye care in primary health care centres.Methods: A retrospective, analytical, record-based study of patients in 10 hospitals in Saudi Arabia was conducted over a period of 6 months. The hospitals were located in 3 of 14 provinces in Saudi Arabia. The current policy is that ophthalmologists be the first point of contact for patients in all hospitals. Ophthalmologists, optometrists and nurses collected the data using a predesigned data collection sheet (Appendix 1) which was divided into four sections – basic data, ocular information, ocular diagnosis and intervention. The pattern of patient examination in the eye clinics in public hospitals was analysed. Additionally, patients’ age, gender, nationality, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment were obtained from their medical records and considered for analysis. Diagnosis and treatment were classified by the scope of practice of optometrists and ophthalmologists: refraction, dispensing, rehabilitation of conditions of the visual system, detection, diagnosis and management of ocular diseases and referral to sub-specialty care were considered as optometric diagnoses. Prescription of medications and surgeries were classified as ophthalmologists’ diagnoses.Results: A total of 2601 patient records were reviewed from the pre-selected 10 public hospitals. There are approximately 415 public hospitals in Saudi Arabia. Refractive error was the most prevalent diagnosis; 54.5% of the patients were prescribed spectacles to relieve their symptoms of poor vision at distance and/or near. Around 35% of patients received treatment in the form of medications (20.6%), surgeries (11.4%), contact lenses (0.9%), orthoptics (1.8%) and low-vision devices (0.1%). About 0.6% patients were referred for major investigations such as ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging scans. No active intervention or treatment except observation was recommended for 7.7% of patients, and 2.4% of patients were referred to other sub-specialties. Based on the scope of practice and diagnostic criteria, the optometry discipline received the highest number of patients and can manage nearly 68% of patients registered for consultation; thus, they can take care of the predominant portion of eye-related problems in the outpatient services in the public hospital.Conclusion: This study clearly demonstrates that because of the disproportionate number of patients seeking care with refractive problems, optometrists can manage about two-thirds of patients visiting eye clinics of public hospitals. Thus, suggesting the need for optometrists as initial point of contact in terms of eye care services in primary health care centres. This would minimise the work load and appointment delays in public hospitals. This model will also enhance the early detection of vision-threatening eye conditions and assure appropriate referral to prevent future complications.

Field Epidemiology Training Programs (FETPs) and Public Health Schools Without Walls use the “learning while doing” approach to build public health's international capacity.1–9 Under the auspices of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the late Charles Merieux, these programs in 1997 established Training Programs in Epidemiology and Public Health Interventions Network (TEPHINET). The network's mission is to strengthen international public health capacity through initiating, supporting, and networking field-based training programs that enhance competencies in applied epidemiology and public health interventions.
Since its inception, TEPHINET has linked professionals to WHO epidemic response and polio eradication teams and has organized “train-the-trainers” workshops and the first global TEPHINET conference, held in Ottawa in April 2000 and hosted by Canada's FETP. This conference, attended by 187 participants from 30 countries, featured 93 trainee papers. Five regional conferences were held in 2001.
There are now 30 programs participating in TEPHINET, with 1317 graduates and 428 current fellows, excluding those of the oldest TEPHINET program, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Epidemic Intelligence Service. TEPHINET programs target midcareer professionals working for public health agencies; 46.7% of participants are women, 64% are medical doctors, and 20.3% hold postgraduate degrees in public health.
There is a growing interest among ministries of health in establishing new TEPHINET programs. These programs are becoming increasingly recognized as catalysts for strengthening the scientific basis of policy-making through the continuous examination of data available from surveillance systems; their systematic field investigations provide opportunities for training and enable ministries of health to better respond to public health problems.
Table 1 ▶ shows the range of problems faced in countries served by TEPHINET programs and the methods used to address them. The vast majority of these problems involve communicable diseases (70.5%), and almost half of the projects use the method of outbreak investigation. By responding to pressing public health problems through field projects, the programs usually provide services to the poorest of the poor.
TABLE 1
—Public Health Problem Topics and Methods Reported in Trainee Papers Submitted for Consideration at Scientific Conferences: TEPHINET Programs, 1995–2000
The programs result in improvements in surveillance, disease prevention, and health promotion programs. Consider the following examples. The Mexican and Peruvian programs were central to the response to cholera in the 1990s, which resulted in a 93% decrease in incidence and a remarkably low case-fatality rate (0.7.%) through improved surveillance case management, health education, and sanitation. Systematic studies of nosocomial transmission of blood-borne pathogens (Plasmodium falciparum, Klebsiella pneumoniae) in Saudi Arabia in the 1990s resulted in better infection control practices for preventing catheter-related infections and extrinsic contamination of infusates and led to nationwide recognition of the usefulness of public health surveillance. The Thailand FETP contributed to the establishment of surveillance systems early in the HIV epidemic, which proved critical to characterizing the epidemic and to developing and evaluating interventions. These interventions, in turn, have resulted in a decreasing incidence of HIV since 1994 through increased condom use and through lower rates of sexual intercourse with commercial sex workers among young men.
TEPHINET aims to increase its participation in international epidemic and disaster response teams and to collaborate with its partners to train field epidemiologists, which are currently available to only 30% of the world's population. The TEPHINET second global conference, scheduled for June 2–6, 2002 in Madrid, will be hosted by Spain's FETP.

In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), no studies have been documented to analyze the equity aspects of public health policies. The aims of the study were to identify policy documents in the KSA relevant to public health and to explore whether these include an equity approach. Twenty health-related documents were identified from various ministries’ websites and analyzed through directed content analysis. The results showed that the term “equity” was neither defined nor explained in the documents and suggestions on how to tackle health inequities were lacking. None of the suggested measures communicated an explicit focus on promoting health equity or the social gradient. Several upstream, midstream, and downstream measures were suggested to improve justice and public health for the people. The study reveals that there is a need for an in-depth assessment of the policy measures across sectors and their influence on health equity to inform future health policy development and action in the KSA.

The technology-driven world of the 21st century is currently confronted with a major threat to humankind in the form of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). As of April 22, 2020, COVID-19 has claimed 169, 006 human lives and had spread to over 200 countries with more than 2,471,136 confirmed cases. The perpetually increasing figures associated with COVID-19 are disrupting the social and economic systems globally. The losses are unmatched and significantly higher compared to those from previously encountered pathogenic infections. Previously, two CoVs (SARS-CoV and Middle East respiratory syndrome-CoV) affected the human population in 2002 and 2012 in China and Saudi Arabia, respectively. Based on genomic similarities, animal-origin CoVs, primarily those infecting bats, civet cats, and pangolins, were presumed to be the source of emerging human CoVs, including the SARS-CoV-2. The cohesive approach amongst virologists, bioinformaticians, big data analysts, epidemiologists, and public health researchers across the globe has delivered high-end viral diagnostics. Similarly, vaccines and therapeutics against COVID-19 are currently in the pipeline for clinical trials. The rapidly evolving and popular technology of artificial intelligence played a major role in confirming and countering the COVID-19 pandemic using digital technologies and mathematical algorithms. In this review, we discuss the noteworthy advancements in the mitigation of the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on the etiological viral agent, comparative genomic analysis, population susceptibility, disease epidemiology, animal reservoirs, laboratory animal models, disease transmission, diagnosis using artificial intelligence interventions, therapeutics and vaccines, and disease mitigation measures to combat disease dissemination.

Background: Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated systemic disorder triggered by dietary gluten and is considered one of the most common lifelong food-related disorders worldwide. The knowledge of CD among the general public in Saudi Arabia remains limited. Therefore, we aimed to assess the awareness and knowledge of CD among the general public in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey including members of the general public was conducted in Saudi Arabia. The survey included questions assessing the publicâs awareness about CD, gluten sensitivity, and peanut allergy, as well as celiac disease-related knowledge. Results: From a total of 1230 responses received, 76.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 74.0%â79.4%) were females, 42.0% (95% CI, 37.7â46.3) were aged between 31â45 years, and 64.3% (95% CI, 61.0%â67.6%) had Bachelorâs degree. Less than half of the participants had heard of CD (48.4%; 95% CI, 44.4%â52.4%), but the majority had heard of peanut allergy (80.1%; 95% CI, 77.6%â82.6%) and gluten sensitivity (72.4%; 95% CI, 69.5%â75.3%). The prevalence of CD was estimated incorrectly by more than 80% of participants. Other questions on participantsâ knowledge associated with CD were answered âDo not knowâ by the majority. Females demonstrated a greater awareness of CD, peanut allergy, and gluten sensitivity, and had a higher percentage of correct responses to questions related to CD than males. Conclusion: This study highlights the need to increase the awareness and knowledge of CD, especially in the recognition of its symptoms. Educational efforts toward increasing the awareness of the general public about CD could help optimize its diagnosis and management.

Mass Gatherings and Public Health Mass gatherings are highly visible events with the potential for serious health and political consequences if not managed carefully and effectively.1-4 Mass gatherings have been reported to have significant impact upon public health systems throughout the world.5-10 International mass gathering events, such as those associated with the Olympic Games, often carry high political significance and have a historical risk for terrorist attacks.2 Mass gatherings ranging from the subnational level to international the level have also been associated with outbreaks and subsequent spread of communicable diseases. These events have included outbreaks of foodborne shigellosis occurring at an outdoor music festival in the United States.5,6 The annual Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia has been plagued by public health threats such as fires, stampedes and an outbreak of meningitis.7,9 Influenza outbreaks were also reported during the 2008 World Youth Day mass gathering in Australia.10 Local, provincial and national public health and medical agencies are frequently involved before, during and after a major event. Therefore, disaster risk reduction is a key element for the effective management of mass gatherings. Disaster Risk Reduction Throughout the world, the overall approach to emergencies and disasters has recently shifted from post-impact activities (i.e., ad hoc relief and reconstruction) to a more systematic and comprehensive process of risk management.11 Disaster risk management includes pre-impact disaster risk reduction (i.e., prevention, preparedness and mitigation) as well as post-impact response and recovery).12 While planners may not always have the ability to prevent health hazards from occurring at mass gathering events, the health sector can play an important role in preventing the public health impact of such hazards. This manuscript describes a comprehensive approach for disaster risk reduction as implemented by those entities responsible for health security associated with the 2010 Shanghai World Exposition (Shanghai Expo).

Introduction This study assessed the impact of a summer research training course on the knowledge levels and skills of medical and allied health students. Methods A one group pretest-posttest quasi-experiment study was conducted during a summer research course at King Fahad Medical City, Saudi Arabia. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed among course participants twice, on the first day (pretest) and the last day of the course (posttest). The questionnaire consisted of four sections: study design, literature review, formulation of a research question, and biostatistics. Results A total of 44 participants were included in the study, of whom 27 (61.4%) were medical students. The overall mean score of correct responses of the participants was 17.70±4.00 in the pretest compared to 22.18±6.64 in the posttest (p<0.001). The mean score of the correct responses of the participants in the "study design" pretest section was (4.23±1.51) compared to (10.23 ± 3.71) in the posttest, (p<0.001). While for the literature review section, the mean score of the correct responses in the pretest was (2.20±1.19) and (2.77±1.34) in the posttest, (p=0.027). Moreover, our results revealed that all participants (100%) were able to execute all the steps of a research project and 6 (13.64%) participants were able to submit papers for publication. Conclusions Our results showed that a research training program might enhance research knowledge and skills in terms of the successful accomplishment of relevant assessment tasks among medical and allied health students.

In the Middle East, tremendous efforts have been made to promote both maternal and child health. However, there is little information in the literature about maternal knowledge of obstetric danger signs. Thus, this study aims to investigate Saudi Arabian women's knowledge of obstetric danger signs and their determinant factors.A community-based, cross-sectional survey was conducted in primary health care centers (PHCCs) in Riyadh City. A proportionate random sample of women who have delivered during the past 2 years was selected from the PHCCs. Data were then collected through structured interviews; the questionnaire was developed based on the literature review.A random sample of 1397 women were included in the final analysis of this study. During pregnancy, 21.1% of the participants reported that they knew about swollen hands or faces. During labor, 23.1% of the participants reported that they knew about prolonged labor (> 12 h). At postpartum, 26.3% of the participants reported that they knew about foul-smelling vaginal discharge. In this study, women in the northern region of Riyadh who visited government hospitals had significantly higher odds of knowing at least one obstetric danger sign. A statistically significant difference was found between the participants' knowledge of at least one obstetric danger sign and her 11-15 times of antenatal care visit.A dedicated health education guide, and a kingdom-wide maternal and child health preventive care promotion program could improve the health and wellbeing of expectant mothers. In these programs, it is essential to focus on birth preparedness, with danger signs recognition, and the integrate health-related data for the whole kingdom.

Background: Community pharmacists are one of the most accessible healthcare practitioners worldwide used by a large proportion of the population. Expanding the roles of community pharmacists could contribute to reducing pressure on general health practice and other areas of the health services. This research aimed to evaluate the contribution of community pharmacists in the provision of public health services and to investigate the perceived barriers for the provision of these services in Saudi Arabia. Materials & Methods: This study followed a cross-sectional design using an online anonymous self-administered questionnaire. The study took place in Asir region, Saudi Arabia, between September 2019 and February 2020. A convenience sampling strategy was used to select and recruit the study participants. The questionnaire was adapted from previous research and involved three sections: demographics, involvement in public health services, and barriers for practising public health roles. Results: The total number of respondents was 193. The proportion of respondents who reported that they were “very involved” or “involved” in each service was 61.7% for weight management, 60.6% for sexual health, 57.5% for healthy eating, 53.4% for physical activity promotion, 51.3% for dental health, 46.1% for smoking cessation, 39.4% for screening for diabetes, 35.7% for screening for hypertension, 31.1% for alcohol dependence and drug misuse counselling, 30.6% for screening for dyslipidaemia, and 21.8% for vaccination and immunisation. Most of the barriers in the current research were rated as having low relevance to the provision of public health services. Conclusion: Findings in the current research suggest that community pharmacists in Asir region have intermediate to minimal engagement in practicing their public health roles. Further research needs to be undertaken to understand the barriers to the provision of public health services and what strategies would be beneficial for enhancing the public health role of community pharmacists in Saudi Arabia.

To evaluate the effectiveness of health education programme on the knowledge of human papilloma virus among female medical students.This quasi-experimental study was conducted in 2014 at the Princess Nourah bint Abulrahman University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and comprised female medical students. An intervention programme was implemented in the form of lectures, videos, posters, etc. on human papillomavirus. SPSS 20 was used for data analysis.There were 535 participants in the study. There mean age was 20.3±1.3 years. After the intervention, there was a significant increase in the level of knowledge. Of all, 495(92%) students recognised avoidance of sexually transmitted disease, vaccination and screening as effective preventive measures. In comparison to pre-intervention results, significantly higher percentage of students defined risk factors: sexually transmitted disease 392(73.3%) versus 329(61.8%), and human papillomavirus 293(54.8%) versus 151(28.4%). Knowledge regarding sensitivity, 280(52.3%) after the campaign versus 160(30.1%)before, and time to perform Pap smear,229(42.8%) versus 113(21.1%),increased significantly (p<0.05).Health education programme was effective in improving the level of knowledge on human papillomavirus.

Waterpipe smoking is a method of tobacco consumption that continues to spread globally. In 2002, a ban of tobacco sales was adopted in the Saudi Arabian cites of Mecca and Medina.This study aimed to examine prevalence of waterpipe and cigarette smoking among students of Taibah University, the biggest in Medina, where the tobacco sales ban has been implemented.A structured questionnaire was distributed between February and April 2015 to examined tobacco use among Taibah University students.The prevalence of current and ever waterpipe use was 24.2% and 36.04%, respectively, compared with 31.9% and 42.7% for current and ever cigarette smoking. This prevalence is similar to that reported in other Saudi cities where tobacco sales are allowed. Multivariate analysis showed that waterpipe use was higher among senior students; those with pocket money spending of > 500 Saudi Arabia riyal (SAR)/month; and if > 5 individuals were living in the household. In addition, waterpipe use was lower among students with monthly household income of 5000-9000 SAR. In contrast, current cigarette smoking was more frequent in those aged > 22 years; among male students; in those with pocket money spending of > 500 SAR/month; and those who lived away from their parents.Waterpipe and cigarette smoking, despite the ban on tobacco sales, is still common among Taibah University students in Medina, Saudi Arabia.تعاطي التبغ والشيشة بين طلاب الجامعة، المملكة العربية السعودية: تأثير حظر مبيعات التبغ.هيثم درادكه، عمر خابور، كارم الزعبي، ريما نقاش، توماس آيسنبيرج.يُعَدُّ تدخين الشيشة إحدى وسائل استهلاك التبغ التي لا تزال منتشرة حول العالم. وفي عام 2002 ، تم إقرار حظر مبيعات التبغ في مكة المكرمة والمدينة المنورة بالمملكة العربية السعودية.هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى فحص معدل انتشار تدخين الشيشة والسجائر بين طلاب جامعة طيبة، التي تُعَد أكبر جامعة في المدينة المنورة حيث طُبِّق حظر مبيعات التبغ.استُخدم استبيان هيكلي لتحقيق أهداف الدراسة.أظهرت الدراسة أن معدل انتشار تدخين الشيشة الحالي والدائم 24.2% و 36.04% على التوالي، بينما تدخين السجائر الحالي والدائم 31.9% و 42.7% على التوالي. ويُعَد معدل الانتشار هذا مشابه لمعدل الانتشار المُبلَّغ عنه بواسطة الدراسات التي أُجريت في المدن السعودية الأخرى المسموح فيها ببيع التبغ. وأوضح التحليل متعدد المتغيرات أن تدخين الشيشة كان أعلى بين طلاب الصفوف العليا، والذين ينتمون لعائلات دخلها الشهري يتراوح بين 5000 و 9000 ريال سعودي، والذين يزيد مصروفهم عن 500 ريال سعودي/شهريًا، وعندما يكون عدد الأفراد الذين يعيشون في نفس المنزل 5 أشخاص أو أكثر. ومن ناحية أخرى، كان معدل التدخين الحالي للسجائر أعلى بين الذين تزيد أعمارهم عن 22 عامًا، وبين الطلاب الذكور، وبين الذين يزيد مصروفهم عن 500 ريال سعودي/شهريًا، والذين يعيشون بعيدًا عن آبائهم.إجمالاً، لا يزال تدخين الشيشة والسجائر، رغم حظر مبيعات التبغ، شائعًا بين طلاب جامعة طيبة في المدينة بالمملكة العربية السعودية.Consommation de tabac et utilisation de la pipe à eau chez les étudiants à l’université en Arabie saoudite : incidence de l’interdiction des ventes de tabac.La consommation de tabac par pipe à eau est une forme de tabagisme qui ne cesse de s’étendre à travers le monde. En 2002, une interdiction sur les ventes de tabac a été adoptée dans les villes saoudiennes de la Mecque et Médine.La présente étude avait pour but d’analyser la prévalence du tabagisme par cigarette et pipe à eau chez les étudiants de l’université Taibah, plus grand établissement universitaire de Médine dans lequel l’interdiction sur les ventes de tabac est appliquée.Un questionnaire structuré a été distribué entre février et avril 2015 pour analyser la consommation de tabac chez les étudiants de l’université Taibah.La prévalence de l’utilisation de la pipe à eau à tout moment dans le passé était de 36,04 % contre 24,2 % au moment de l’étude, alors que les chiffres associés à la consommation de cigarettes sont de 42,7 % et 31,9 % respectivement. Cette prévalence est semblable à celle observée lors d’études menées dans d’autres villes saoudiennes où les ventes de tabac sont autorisées. L’analyse multivariée a montré que l’utilisation de la pipe à eau était plus importante chez les étudiants de cycle supérieur, ceux dont les dépenses d’argent de poche excèdent 500 riyals saoudiens (SAR) par mois, ceux dont le foyer dispose d’un revenu mensuel compris entre SAR 5000 et 9000 et dans les foyers comptant au moins cinq personnes. En comparaison, la consommation actuelle de cigarettes était supérieure chez les plus de 22 ans, les étudiants de sexe masculin, ceux dont les dépenses d’argent de poche dépassent SAR 500/mois et ceux vivant loin de chez leurs parents.Dans l’ensemble, malgré l’interdiction sur les ventes de tabac, la consommation de tabac par pipe à eau et cigarette est toujours courante parmi les étudiants de l’université Taibah à Médine (Arabie saoudite).

Abstract Background Many organizations have suggested a minimum standard regarding pharmaceutical counselling for patients, which includes information about the name of the drug, the description the drug, the indication for use, how to use it, the method of treatment, precautions, adverse reactions, and any contraindications. Correspondingly, the World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended that pharmacists spend at least 3 min with each patient to provide counselling. This study aimed to evaluate the counselling practices of community pharmacists for both over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription-only medicines in the Bisha Health Directorate, Saudi Arabia. Method This was a cross-sectional study designed to evaluate simulated patient visits to observe real counselling practices of community pharmacies in the Bisha area; 73 pharmacies were visited. Two scenarios were used in this study. The first scenario was for a prescription-only medicine, and the second scenario was for an OTC medicine. The duration of counselling was recorded for every visit. Results A total of 105 visits to the 73 pharmacies were conducted under the following scenarios: scenario 1 = 73 visits and scenario 2 = 32 visits. The average time for the simulation was 110 s for scenario 1 and 73.4 s for scenario 2. There was a statistically significant negative correlation between the duration of counselling and patient simulation visits that occurred in the morning (Spearman’s rho = − 0.396, p = 0.001). Conclusion It was shown that patient counselling needs to be given greater emphasis in community pharmacies. In this study, the time spent for patient counselling failed to meet the minimum WHO standard. Thus, pharmacists must be encouraged to spend at least 3 min on patient counselling.

Background: The Saudi government had implemented unprecedented preventive measures to deal with COVID-19. These measures included intermittent curfews, bans on public gatherings, limitations on many services, temporary suspension of Hajj, Umrah, and visit and launching awareness campaigns. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the KAP toward COVID-19 among residents of the border region of Jazan, Saudi Arabia. Methods: An online cross-sectional survey was distributed from May 4 to May 21, 2020, using a Google Form. The survey questionnaire covered demographic characteristics and KAP toward COVID-19. The KAP questions consisted of 17 items on knowledge, four items on attitude, and six items on practice. Results: A total of 597 participants responded to the survey questionnaire. Overall, participants demonstrated a good knowledge of COVID-19, correctly answering 77% of the knowledge questions. Most of the participants exhibited good attitudes and acceptable practices toward COVID-19. Multiple regression analysis revealed that participants with a university education (B = 1.75) or post-graduate education (B = 2.24), those with an income >SR 10,000-20,000 (B = 1.38) or >SR 20,000 (B = 2.07), and those who had received a personal health education (B = 1.19) had higher COVID-19 knowledge scores (p < 0.05). The ordinal logistic regression analysis found that compared to being female, being male was significantly associated with worrying about COVID-19 (p = 0.024, OR = 1.78), willingness to receive a COVID-19 vaccine (p = 0.003, OR = 1.81), and willingness to report potential symptoms of COVID-19 (p = 0.046, OR = 2.28). Worrying about COVID-19 was significantly associated with pre-university education vs. post-graduate education (p ≤ 0.001, OR = 7.94) and university education vs. post-graduate education (p ≤ 0.001, OR = 4.17). The binary logistic regression analysis found that compared to being female, being male was significantly associated with less face mask wearing in public (p = 0.009, OR = 0.31): Females were 3.23 times more likely to wear a face mask than were males. Conclusions: Most of the study participants had good knowledge, positive attitudes, and effective practices toward COVID-19. The findings of this study may help guide future awareness resources to the groups most in need in the Jazan region, particularly as the COVID-19 situation develops and changes. Further assessment should consider the groups omitted from this study, including immigrants and the elderly who have not adopted social media and technology.

On April 27, Saudi Arabia reported 16 new cases of infection by the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). Worldwide, from September, 2012, to April 26, 2014, WHO has reported 261 laboratory-confirmed infections, including 93 deaths. According to Nick Phin of Public Health England, and academics involved in the Global Centre for Mass Gatherings Medicine, the recent apparent rise in MERS-CoV infections in Saudi Arabia could have resulted from various factors, including seasonality, increased proactive screening, and poor infection control measures. The rising death toll from MERS-CoV has increased public concern about the spread of the disease and, on occasion, criticism of the Saudi Ministry of Health for its handling of the MERS outbreak. Therefore, the removal of former Health Minister Abdullah Al Rabeeah from his post on April 21, without any detailed explanation, caused speculation about the reasons for Al Rabeeah's departure and its implications for health in Saudi Arabia. According to the Saudi Ministry of Health, Al Rabeeah has been “discharged from his current position and appointed as an adviser at the Royal Court (Diwan) at a rank of minister. The Labour Minister—Adel Fakieh—will replace him as Minister for both Labour and Health. As yet unconfirmed, an explanation suggested to The Lancet is that Abdullah Al Rabeeah will devote more time to health reform in the country. If this role is confirmed, Al Rabeeah could consider diabetes a priority for the country's health reform—according to the International Diabetes Federation Diabetes Atlas 2013, the prevalence of diabetes in Saudi Arabia has increased dramatically to 24%, the highest in the Middle East. For all countries facing emerging infectious diseases, there needs to be clear, honest, and timely communication between the government and its health departments and the public. For Saudi Arabia, the government can allay fears by explaining the reasons for Al Rabeeah's transfer, and any implications for ongoing management of MERS-CoV. The challenges of public health security in Saudi Arabia, particularly mass gatherings like the Hajj, demand the attention of a full-time Health Minister. Triumphs, trials, and tribulations of the global response to MERS coronavirus22 months after its discovery, and despite extensive investigation and research, the source and origin of the Middle East Respiratory (MERS) coronavirus remain unknown.1 As of April 26, 2014, 261 laboratory-confirmed cases of MERS coronavirus infection have been reported, including 93 deaths.2 Although sustained human-to-human transmission has not been reported,1 a global concern remains that the virus could become more contagious and deadly. An overabundance of caution is certainly prudent, but with the latest discovery—that the virus was documented in dromedary camels as long ago as 19923—interpretation of the epidemiology has become more difficult.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a public health challenge that affects all genders and age groups and is a single leading infectious disease killer globally. We retrospectively investigated the prevalence of TB and anti-TB drug resistance among patients treated at the Prince Sultan Military Medical City (PSMMC) between the years 2000 and 2017. Patient demographic variables and drug susceptibility test results were obtained from TB notification records located in the TB laboratory at PSMMC. A total of 58,141 records were reviewed of which 1123 (2%) specimens were positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Of the positive, 621 (55%) were from pulmonary specimens. Males over the age of 15 years accounted for 60% of the positive specimens. Drug resistance to at least one drug was detected in 90 (8%) of which 60 (5.3%), 24 (2%) 6 (0.5%) patients were mono-drug-resistant, poly-drug resistant and multidrug resistant (MDR-TB) respectively. Resistance to isoniazid and streptomycin were the most frequently found among first-line tuberculosis drugs, accounting for 4.5% and 3.8% of drug resistance cases respectively. Our findings show low prevalence of tuberculosis and multidrug resistant TB among patients treated at PSMMC over a 17-year period. Nationwide assessment is needed to get a clear picture of the TB burden across Saudi Arabia and inform national policies for eradication of TB.

This study aims to describe the impact of COVID-19 on internship activities at health organizations in Saudi Arabia. The study is a secondary analysis of data set that was collected from 101 health science interns from different health organizations. The majority of interns were trained or started their internships at public health organizations (64.29%), while 6.12% and 29.59% were at private and other health organizations, respectively. During the COVID-19 pandemic, most health organizations chose to continue the internships (76.53%), while others (23.47%) decided to suspend trainings. Health organizations have taken different actions to overcome the internship issues during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, several countries have started implementing voluntary or involuntary mass vaccination programs. Although vaccine acceptance is high among adults, uncertainty about whether to vaccinate children against COVID-19 remains a controversial theme. To date, few qualitative studies have explored parents' views on this topic. A qualitative descriptive study design was used to collect data and individual in-depth interviews were conducted with 50 parents in the Makkah region of Saudi Arabia. The Health Belief Model (HBM) was used as a guide in developing the interview guide. Each question was related to a construct of the HBM. The data were then analyzed using thematic content analysis and interpreted using NVivo software. Two major themes emerged: motivation to vaccinate children, which was influenced by perceived benefits, perceived severity, perceived suitability, collective responsibilities, confidence, and cues to action; and barriers to vaccination in children, which included complacency, rapid vaccine development, and uncertainty about the long-term side effects of the vaccine. The findings of this study revealed that the public is not sufficiently informed about the efficacy or side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine, increasing the awareness of which will help parents make informed decisions regarding vaccinating their children and potentially increase vaccine acceptance.Currently, the debate about whether children should be vaccinated for COVID-19 is ongoing worldwide. This research explored the thoughts of Saudi Arabian parents in this regard through in-depth interviews. The viewpoints were grouped into two themes: motivators and barriers toward vaccination. The motivators included factors such as parents’ beliefs that the vaccine would help protect their children and the aged against the severity of the disease, especially those with existing conditions such as obesity. They also felt that the vaccination would help develop the society’s herd immunity against the virus and felt an obligation to have their children vaccinated. Barriers toward vaccination included factors such as concerns about the long-term side effects of the vaccine on children, and the belief that children’s immune systems are strong enough to fight the virus and that the vaccine might negatively affect their immune systems. This study showed that parents need to be educated on the benefits and side effects of COVID-19 vaccination for children. The results of this study will help health authorities and the government to increase the uptake and acceptability of the COVID-19 vaccine for children.

Objectives: The aim of the study is to explore the use of dietary supplements and to assess awareness of its positive/adverse effects among physically active adults and the general population in Saudi Arabia.
 Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional online survey-based study and received 574 responses showing frequencies and types of dietary supplements.
 Results: The results show that 44.6% of respondents use dietary supplements. The most used dietary supplements were Vitamin C and multivitamins, consumed by 44% of the respondents, Vitamin D (44%), Iron (41%), and Calcium (39%). Protein sports bars and powder were consumed mainly by gym members, particularly those practicing weight-training exercises. Approximately 4% of respondents reported side-effects secondary to the usage of the dietary supplements. We conclude that the dietary supplement usage is widespread in Saudi Arabia among both gym members and the general public.
 Conclusion: It is highly recommended to increase awareness measures from official health entities by educating the general population and physically active adults about dietary supplement use and adverse effects to ensure safe practices.

Abstract Very few studies have been concerned with assessing the prevalence of burnout and depressive symptoms, especially during an infectious outbreak on non-frontline health care workers, such as a psychiatrist. In such instances, the role of psychiatrists and other mental health providers as a source of psychological support to the public and frontline workers is indispensable and valuable. This study aims to assess the prevalence of burnout and depressive symptoms, and their correlation, during the COVID-19 pandemic among psychiatry residents in Saudi Arabia. A total of 121 out of 150 psychiatry residents in Saudi Arabia completed the Maslach Burnout Inventory and Patient’s Health Questionnaire for the assessment of burnout and depressive symptoms. Around 27.3% reported having burnout and depressive symptoms, with a significant relationship between them. Participants in the first two years of training and having a history of receiving mental health treatment in the past two years were at higher risk. The need is urgent to increase investment in mental health services or risk a massive increase in mental health conditions in the coming months. Hence, the need to construct a plan to reduce this risk of burnout and depression among psychiatrists by developing preventative strategies to prevent burnout and promote wellness is more important than ever.

Trauma registries are essential to trauma systems, to enable collection of the data needed to enhance clinical knowledge and monitor system performance. The King Saud Medical City (KSMC) in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is aiming to become a Level 1 Trauma Centre, and required a trauma registry in order to do so. Our objective was to establish the Saudi TraumA Registry (STAR) at the (KSMC) and ready it for national deployment. The challenge was that no formal trauma data collection had occurred previously and clinicians had no prior experience of trauma registries.To develop the registry, a novel 12 step implementation plan was created and followed at the KSMC. Registry criteria and a Minimum Dataset were selected; training was delivered; database specifications were written; operating procedures were developed and regular reporting was initiated.Data collection commenced on August 1st 2017. The registry was fully operational by April 2018, eight months ahead of schedule. During the first year of data collection an average of 216 records per month were entered into the database. An inaugural report was presented at the Saudi Trauma Conference in February 2019.The strategy deployed at the KSMC has successfully established the STAR. In the short term, process indicators will track the development of the hospital into a Level 1 Trauma Centre. In the medium to long term the STAR will be rolled out nationally to capture the impact of public health initiatives aimed at reducing injury in the KSA. The effect of the STAR will be that the country is better equipped to deliver continuous improvements in trauma systems and quality of care.

Sleep health inequalities represent an increasing public health concern. Among multiple determinants affecting sleep health, there is people’s socioeconomic status (SES), and no systematic review on the relationship between SES and sleep health has been previously conducted in Iran and Saudi Arabia. Following the Prisma protocol, ten articles were selected. Findings revealed that the combined number of participants was N = 37,455 participants, including 73.23% of children and adolescents (n = 27,670) and 26.77% of adults (n = 10,026). The smallest sample was N = 715 and the larger was N = 13,486. In all these studies, sleep variables were assessed using self-reported questionnaires. The studies conducted in Iran assessed the risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), while those in Saudi Arabia were interested in sleep duration, nap time, bedtime, rise time and insomnia. The studies performed on adult populations in Iran and Saudi Arabia concluded that there is no significant association between SES determinants and sleep components in adult populations. One study in Iran found a significant association between parent’s low SES and children and adolescent insomnia; and one study in Saudi Arabia found a significant association between the father’s education and the longer sleep duration of their children. More longitudinal studies are necessary to establish a causal relationship between public health policies and sleep health inequalities. An extension of the investigation to more sleep disturbances is required to cover the entirety of sleep health inequalities in Iran and Saudi Arabia.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the experiences of using a digital marketing platform to promote the use of an internet based health encyclopedia in Saudi Arabia. Key informant interviews, meeting documentation, and Google Analytics were the data collection sources used in the study. Findings show that using a digital marketing platform led to a significant increase in the number of visitors to the health encyclopedia. The results demonstrate that digital marketing platforms are effective tools to be used for promoting internet based health education interventions. Future work will examine long-term educational impacts and costs in using digital marketing platforms to promote online healthcare sites in Saudi Arabia.

To evaluate the knowledge and behavior of workers at a Saudi airport regarding public health emergency measures applied during Hajj season.This study is a cross-sectional study conducted at the Prince Mohammed International Airport in Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah, Saudi Arabia between August and September 2014. Data were collected by semi-structured questionnaires during personal interviews. Non-random purposive sampling was conducted to target workers at higher risk of acquiring infection from travellers.One hundred and eighty-six participants were recruited of whom 92.5% were males. The study participants were workers in 8 different sectors. Twenty-six percent of the participants were health workers. Non-health workers were more likely to be concerned on acquiring infection while working at the airport compared with health workers (p=0.023). The most commonly feared disease was Ebola viral disease (EBV) among 30% of health workers, and 47% of non-health workers. Approximately 47% of non-health workers reported no knowledge of the procedures implemented during public health emergencies. The proportion of participants who received public health related training among non-health workers was significantly lower compared with health workers (p less than 0.00001).More emphasis should be given to educating airport workers on the potential health threats at the airport. Specific guidelines for public health emergencies at the airport should be established and communicated with airport sectors.

Background Dementia is a public health concern and the main cause of impairment and dependency among the elderly worldwide. It is characterized by a progressive decline in cognition, memory, and all domains of quality of life with preserving the level of consciousness. Accurate measurement of dementia knowledge among future health professionals is required to improve targeted educational initiatives and supportive care of patients. This study aimed to assess knowledge of dementia and its associated factors among health college students in Saudi Arabia. Methods A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted among health college students from various regions in Saudi Arabia. Data on sociodemographic characteristics and dementia knowledge were gathered using a standardized study questionnaire Dementia Knowledge Assessment Scale (DKAS) distributed on different social media platforms. Data analysis was carried out using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 24.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) statistical software. A P-value of <0.05 was considered significant. Results A total of 1,613 participants were included in the study. The mean age was 20.5 ± 2.5 years (range 18-25 years). The majority of them were males (64.9%), and females represented 35.1%. The mean knowledge score of the participants was 13.68 ± 3.18 (out of 25). According to DKAS subscales, we found that the respondents scored the highest in care considerations (4.17 ± 1.30) and the lowest in risks and health promotion (2.89 ± 1.96). Furthermore, we found that the participants with no previous dementia exposure had a significantly higher level of knowledge than those with previous dementia exposure. In addition, we found that both genders, aged 19, 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25 years; the geographic distribution of respondents; and previous dementia exposure significantly affected the DKAS score. Conclusions Our findings showed that health college students in Saudi Arabia had poor knowledge about dementia. Ongoing health education and comprehensive academic training are recommended to improve their knowledge and provide competent care for dementia patients.

This study sought to explore factors that determine the public&rsquo;s acceptance of and adoption behavior toward e-government health applications launched in Saudi Arabia (SA) by the Ministry of Health (MOH) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research relied on several theories: the technology acceptance model (TAM), information system success model (ISSM), mobile services acceptance model (MSAM), and unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT). The constructs of perceived ease of use (PEOU), perceived usefulness (PU), attitude (ATT), trust (TR), information quality (IQ), facilitating condition (FC), and social influence (SI) were utilized to investigate the user&rsquo;s intention toward using e-government health applications. The proposed model and its seven hypotheses were tested by conducting a survey across social media among citizens and residents in SA. A total of 785 valid responses were analyzed by SmartPLS and a structural equation modeling technique. After analysis, the results showed that PEOU, PU, ATT, TR, IQ, FC, and SI have positive effects on behavioral intentions. As for contributions, this paper is the first research paper to investigate the adoption of e-government health applications launched by MOH in SA during the COVID-19 pandemic and to provide a theoretical framework for pursuing future research work in a similar scope.

Calls to carry efforts to increase awareness about venous thromboembolism (VTE) as a preventable major healthcare problem with serious consequences has been upraised. This study was planned to get an overview of the awareness, knowledge, and attitude toward VTE among Aseer population, Saudi Arabia and the need for an education plan.Questionnaire composed of 35 questions based cross-sectional study was conducted online via Google documents to public in Aseer that included both genders aged more than 18 years who agreed to be involved in the study, to assess knowledge and attitude toward VTE. The collected data were presented as numbers, percentages, and were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 24.The results of the data showed that awareness knowledge and attitude toward VTE were lacking and unsatisfactory.Diligence to spread knowledge and awareness of VTE among public in Aseer is required. Further surveys involving other populations are warranted.

Over the last few years, pharmacy practice in the Arab regions of the Middle East has started to change and develop. There have been small but promising steps to recognize the importance of extending community pharmacists’ roles to meet the expanding public healthcare demands. This systematic review aims to identify, synthesize and assess the quality of the literature in the Middle East concerning public attitudes on community pharmacist role and services and in relation to public perceptions on strategies to improve pharmacy services and the image of community pharmacist. A systematic search of 11 electronic databases was conducted to identify all published relevant studies from inception till January 2020. Data was extracted using a designed and tested tool. Studies were assessed for quality using Crowe Critical Appraisal Tool. The final study results included 36 studies of which 31 adopted a cross-sectional-survey-based design. Included studies were published between 2004 and 2019. Most studies were done in Saudi Arabia (n = 11) or the United Arab Emirates (UAE) (n = 10). We identified four overarching themes across included studies 1) Use of Community Pharmacies; 2) Attitudes towards Community Pharmacist role; 3) Attitudes towards Current Community Pharmacy Services and 4) Strategies to Improve Community Pharmacy Practice. The most common reason for visiting a community pharmacy was to purchase a prescription or over-the counter-medication. The most common factors that affected patients’ choice of a particular pharmacy included convenient pharmacy location, availability of a good range of products or medicines, friendliness of the pharmacy staff and convenient pharmacy opening hours. There was a general public perception of community pharmacist as a business oriented person. Expectations of pharmacist duties included treatment of minor health ailments, consultation on over-the-counter medications and parapharmaceutical products, and accuracy checking of dispensed medications. Overall satisfaction with community pharmacy varied between the studies and ranged from 33% to 67.1%. Most commonly reported recommendations to improve pharmacy practice were provision of diagnostic, screening and monitoring services, keeping patient records in the pharmacy, advice on minor illness and provision of a private area for consultation. Seven articles were considered of low quality and 13 articles were considered of high quality. While the public in the Middle East has a good understanding of the basic duties of a community pharmacist, there is lack of awareness of advanced pharmaceutical services. Decision makers in Middle Eastern countries should set strategies to improve community pharmacist professional image and competence beyond medication dispensing.

There has been significant westernization in Saudi Arabia and is one of the countries with the highest prevalence rates of overweight and obesity. According to the study, obesity has become a substantial cause of concern in the country, whereby 70% of people experienced the problem. Obesity was associated with obstructive sleep apnea and osteoarthritis. A systematic and comprehensive search of the selected keywords on PubMed, Medline, and Saudi Digital Library (SDL) database was conducted between November 2020 and January 2021. The result of our study suggests that the prevalence of adult and childhood obesity in Saudi Arabia is extremely high and currently it is undergoing a fast-growing rate of obesity crisis. Genetic factors, reduced physical activity, and high caloric intake contribute to its prevalence. Because of its association with other cardiovascular diseases, it is regarded as a significant matter of concern in Saudi Arabia. Obesity currently considered an epidemic and therefore, is a major public health concern.

Suicidal and self-injurious behavior among patients with alcohol and drug abuse Abdullah Mohammed Al-Sharqi,1 Khaled Saad Sherra,2 Abdulhameed Abdullah Al-Habeeb,3 Naseem Akhtar Qureshi3,41Private Clinic, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia; 2Psychiatric Department, Faculty of Medicine, Mansoura University, Egypt; 3General Administration for Mental Health and Social Services, 4General Directorate of Research and Studies, Ministry of Health, Riyadh, Saudi ArabiaBackground: Self-injurious behavior, a major public health problem globally, is linked with alcohol and drug abuse. This cross-sectional study aimed to identify the prevalence and correlates of self-harming behavior in patients with alcohol or drug abuse problems.Methods: This was a one-year study that recruited a convenience sample of 736 outpatients and inpatients identified with alcohol or drug abuse, and was conducted at Al-Amal mental health hospitals in three major cities. All consecutively selected patients were interviewed on five working days for data collection on a semistructured sociodemographic form using the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale Risk Assessment version.Results: In addition to the socioclinical profile revealed, 50.7% of respondents reported any suicidal ideation, while 6.9% reported self-injurious behavior without intent to die. Any suicidal and self-injurious behavior was reported by 13.1% of participants. A total of 71.3% of respondents reported any recent negative activating events. In addition to any treatment history, observed correlates were hopelessness (60.7%), perceived burden on family (29.5%), refusing a safety plan (26.1%), and sexual abuse (11%). Conversely, reasons for living (64.9%), fear of death or dying due to pain and suffering (64.3%), and spirituality (92%) were largely endorsed as protective factors. There were multiple significant odds ratios (P ≤ 0.01) revealed when independent socioclinical variables were compared with dependent variables in terms of suspected risk and protective factors. In an adjusted logistic regression model, none of the independent variables contributed significantly to any suicidal and self-injurious behavior, any suicidal ideation, or protection from them (P > 0.05).Conclusion: Our preliminary results suggest that there are some socioclinical correlates of any suicide ideation, suicidal and self-injurious behavior, and protection from risky behavior, but which of them contributes significantly to the risk and protective dimensions is yet to be elucidated in prospective community-based studies with larger and more diverse samples.Keywords: self-injurious behavior, suicidal ideation, risk factors, protective factors, alcohol, drug, abuse

Background Physical inactivity has been identified as a major factor in developing and progressing chronic non-communicable diseases such as obesity. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia ranks high worldwide in rates of obesity. During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, public health measures have been enforced. These included social distancing, masking, reduction of workplace daily hours, prevention of social gatherings, and home quarantine measures. These ultimately restricted the ability to perform regular physical health activities. The aim of this study is to understand the impact of COVID-19 on physical activity among adults in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Methodology A cross-sectional study was conducted among the Saudi population. An online survey was sent through social media to gather data regarding individual physical activity before and after the start of the COVID-19 restrictions. The data were collected from March 20, 2021, until May 20, 2021, and analyzed using chi-square and paired t-test using the SAS software version 9.4. Results In total, 433 participants completed the survey. There were 183 (42.3%) males, and the majority of the participants were Saudi nationals (284, 65.6%). Most of the participants (181, 41.8%) were in the age group 25-35 years and 253 (58%) had bachelor’s degrees. Although the results did not show a statistically significant difference between pre- and post-COVID-19 respondents in terms of physical activity, married participants, participants from the eastern province, and participants who did not exercise regularly were all significantly impacted by lack of exercise compared to their counterparts (p < 0.05). Conclusions Taking measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is essential. Nonetheless, recommendations should be sought for physical activity during lockdowns, and large-scale research should be conducted to better understand what causes the exaggeration of sedentary lifestyles during lockdowns and how to prevent them. Further studies need to be conducted, and national guidelines should be made available in case of a future lockdown.

Overweight and obesity are important modifiable risk factors for various noncommunicable diseases. The link between obesity, poor health outcomes, and all-cause mortality is well established. Overweight and obesity during childhood increases the likelihood of diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke, certain cancers, obstructive sleep apnea, and osteoarthritis more early in younger age groups.The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence and some correlates of overweight and obesity in the study population.The present study was a cross-sectional study conducted during October 2017 among 300 boys of primary public schools from Baish City of Jazan Province, Saudi Arabia. A semi-structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Weight and height were measured using standard tools. The WHO Z-score reference values of body mass index-for-age were used for the screening of overweight and obesity. Analysis was done using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS version 19.0).The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 10.1% and 12.4%, respectively, among the study participants. There was a significant difference in the overweight and obesity between urban and rural study population. Overweight and obesity was found higher among children who took frequently junk food.Overweight and obesity was substantially prevalent among primary schoolboys with a significant rural-urban difference.

Background The cultural sensitivity surrounding sexuality in Islamic communities has an impact on awareness and prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). This study explores Muslim women’s knowledge, views, and attitudes towards STIs and people living with HIV/AIDs in Saudi Arabia. Methods We conducted qualitative semi-structured interviews with Muslim women from Saudi Arabia. Interviews took place in a public hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 2019. Data were transcribed, coded, and analysed using a reflexive thematic analysis. Results Twenty-eight women were interviewed, the majority were college educated and employed. Participants lacked knowledge about STIs, and there were significant misconceptions. The majority of women expressed extremely negative attitudes towards STIs, particularly towards people living with HIV/AIDS. Participants believed that judgemental attitudes and stigmatisation of people with HIV/AIDS were justified if an infection was transmitted through extramarital sex. Men were believed to be the source of STIs, and STIs were viewed as punishment from God for extramarital sexual relations that are forbidden in Islam. Protection against STIs was believed to be achieved by strengthening religious beliefs. Conclusion Attitudes towards people with STIs, HIV/AIDS in particular, were highly influenced by religious views towards extramarital sex, as well as lack of knowledge and misconceptions. There is an urgent need for accurate information and improved awareness of sexual health including STIs among Muslims in Saudi Arabia. Public health efforts should be directed towards reducing stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS in Saudi Arabia and other Islamic communities.

Community pharmacists are in an ideal position to counsel patients about herbal medicines. This study was designed to determine the knowledge, attitude, practice, and barriers about the herbal medicines among community pharmacists in Najran, Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional study was conducted on a representative sample of 62 community pharmacists in Najran, Saudi Arabia, from June to September 2019. Majority of the participants were aged between 20 and 29 years, had a bachelor's degree, and work experience ranged between 1 and 5 years. Ginseng (54.8%) was the most regularly dispensed herb. The pharmacists held a significant degree of knowledge about the therapeutic uses with an average of 78.61% correct answers (P = 0.000), and the majority (63.54%) recognized correctly the possible adverse effects, drug-herb interactions, and contraindications related to herbal medicines (P = 0.000). The majority of the community pharmacists owned a positive attitude and showed good practices toward herbal medicine. The community pharmacists in the Najran region showed good knowledge, a positive attitude, and efficient practice toward herbal medicines. However, there is a demand for further training, continuing medical education, enhanced access to authentic sources of information, and stringent regulation and control of traditional drug stores to realize the achievement of patient-centered public health activities.

Objective: There is limited evidence on how workplace health promotion is implemented and evaluated in the Arab countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The present study aimed to improve the overall well-being of employees at a departmental level in a hospital setting in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods: Using a pre-post longitudinal design, a wellness program was implemented, assessing physical activity, diet, work productivity, absenteeism, workplace satisfaction, and stress. Results: Significant improvement was observed in physical functioning of the employees; with a significant increase in average intake of water/d and fruit consumption, significant decrease in average number of soft drinks consumed/wk, and significant decrease in the days of absence in the last 3 months. Conclusions: There were trends in improvement overall on the wellness measures with significant impact on the physical functioning and dietary habits of the employees.

In Saudi Arabia, cultural and language differences between expatriate nurses and patients affect the quality of nursing care. Hence, the Kingdom is eying Saudization in this field. The productivity of nurses can affect the productivity of the whole health system. The aim of this study was to investigate the health-care productivity of Saudi female nurses and socio-demographic determinants of their productivity.We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 256 randomly selected Saudi female nurses in the Qassim region. The nurses who were not working in public hospitals; not giving direct patient care or had <1-year patient-care experience were excluded from the study. The nurses' work productivity was measured using a 17-item index.The mean age of the nurses was 30.2 ± 5.6 years. Among the nurses, 62.6% were currently married, 33% were never married, and 4.4% were divorced/widowed. Most of the nurses were not willing to serve male patients (70.3%); they wanted to work only in female units (66.1%) and did not prefer night shifts (50.8%). Over the past 1 year, most of them demonstrated tendency of taking emergency leave (64.2%) and sick leave (56.4%), while 27.3% had unexcused absences and 19.5% had unplanned but excused absences. In addition, 20.3% demonstrated a tendency of taking frequent breaks during duty hours and 18.9% demonstrated tendency of being late on duty. Multivariable linear regression analysis revealed that being married was associated with 1.66 points decrease in the productivity index score when compared to never married nurses. Having one more child under 5 years of age was associated with 0.75 points increase in the productivity index score. In addition, nurses who employed household workers at home scored 1.04 points less than those who did not.Healthcare productivity index score was lower among married Saudi female nurses than never married nurses. However, aspects of married life commonly believed to cause home work-life conflicts, such as number of children, living with or without family, having disabled children in household and personal factors such as age did not have statistically significant influence on the productivity index score. It is possible that unexplained cultural issues associated with being married may be responsible for a lower productivity index score among married female nurses in Saudi Arabia.

BACKGROUND: Oral health issues are recorded to be growing among children due to either insufficient knowledge or ineffective oral health care. The study investigated the effectiveness of the school oral health (OH) program for changing dental health and health behavior among the students in Saudi Arabia. 
 
 METHODS: This cross-sectional design study followed STROBE (strengthening the reporting of observational studies in epidemiology) guidelines to include 348 female primary children in Madinah, Saudi Arabia. These were equally divided into three groups; i.e., teacher delivered oral health program, dentist delivered oral health program, and lastly control group. Data was collected through a close-ended questionnaire, and were analyzed through descriptive statistics and ANOVA. 
 
 RESULTS: Findings of the study showed improved OH status, better OH knowledge, behavior and practices among children. Self-evaluation results showed that the teachers conducted education program was more effective, then the dentists conducted education program. Also, oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) score was found high for the psychological aspect of the children. 
 
 CONCLUSION: The effectiveness of the school oral health program for changing dental health and health behavior among the students was better.

To examine the awareness level of COVID-19 and to highlight the frequency of myths and misconceptions among Saudi Arabia's population.We conducted a cross-sectional study from June 13 to 20, 2020 by distributing a 16-item online Google forms questionnaire among adults (18-65 years old) living in Saudi Arabia. We utilized the convenience sampling. Data analysis was performed using Chi-square and multiple regression analysis on Jamovi.A total of 1436 responses were analyzed with 43.5% males and 56.5% females. Most respondents (89.1%) thought that only the elderly above 60 years old are considered at high risk of contracting COVID-19. Most respondents (86.5%) agreed that people with other health conditions could be more affected by COVID-19. Approximately 97.2% agreed that wearing a mask and avoiding touching eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands was the leading preventive action. Most participants (99.4%) chose fever as an associated symptom. Respondents from the healthcare sector presented statistically higher scores than those in non-healthcare sectors (p<0.001). Higher education and higher salary were important predictors of better COVID-19 knowledge.Public health officials need to increase awareness measures on COVID-19 to limit myths and misconceptions and reduce psychological distress associated with it.

Although quality has many perspectives, each customer has specific needs and expectations and the goal is for these expectations to be fulfilled by the provider organization. One method for the identification of customer needs and expectations is a satisfaction survey. Any system has three components: inputs, processes and outputs. Outputs and outcomes are the results of the processes and the activities of the system. One measure of this component is the rate of satisfaction of the users of the system. In healthcare, the ultimate user of the system is the patient and thus, the patient survey is the method most appropriate to measure satisfaction with outputs and outcomes of the system.The field of patient satisfaction surveying is growing. With most of the accrediting bodies such as JACHO, NCQA, AAAHC and URAC requiring survey results to be reported on a regular basis, mechanisms for addressing them must be implemented and measured. This emphasis on patient satisfaction has created a new type of health care customer, one who is becoming increasingly intolerant of mediocre care and service.Several studies of patient satisfaction in both primary health care and inpatient settings have shown that patient satisfaction is directly correlated to patient’s expectation, but not necessarily to clinical outcomes. 1-5 Two studies are worthy of note relating to Saudi Arabia (El-Shabrawy and Mahmoud, 19936 and Mansour and Al-Osimy, 19937). Both report on surveys conducted in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia with patients in primary health care (PHC) settings. Using interview methodology, both studies collected information from a randomly selected sample of patients regarding satisfaction with care and services received at the PHC centers. Both studies reported patients to be satisfied with their care in general, but they were less pleased with the waiting times and the thoroughness of their visits.This letter describes a study performed to assess patient satisfaction in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Our analysis focused on assessing the relationships between patient characteristics and level of satisfaction and previous history with the facility from which they sought care. Patients were selected from public and private primary health care and inpatient care sectors. The objectives were to measure satisfaction by each variable identified in terms of service and care. We also sought to measure the difference in satisfaction between these groups and find out if there were any correlations with the type of the facility and the satisfaction level of the patient.The target population was patients attending two MOH and five private hospitals (the number of private hospitals was increased because they have fewer inpatients) and five MOH PHC centers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A sample of patients representative of those attending the facilities were selected using stratified random sampling techniques. Only inpatients with at least a 3-day stay were included. A structured questionnaire was developed and 500 copies were distributed to hospitals and 500 to PHC centers. Of the 500 hospital questionnaires sent out, 392 (78.4%) were returned and used in the analysis. From the PHC centers 408 questionnaires (81.6%) were returned and validated.The study instrument consisted of questions on demographic information with one satisfaction question asking whether the patient would likely return to the facility a second time. Satisfaction was also assessed by the four-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree). The satisfaction measures assessed patients’ views about a variety of important hospital and PHC characteristics, including the availability of services, accessibility of the facilities to patients, the quality of the accommodation, affordability, the quality of facility personnel, including doctors, nurses and other staff, and the cleanliness and appearance of the facilities.The questionnaire had face validity based on health professional and patient comments, and was determined to be reliable, having an 88.2% coefficient alpha from pilot testing on 10 inpatients and 10 outpatients. We used logistic regression analysis to assess the volume and direction of the relationships between the independent and dependent (dichotomous variable) variables.The source of payment for patients’ care, and patients’ level of education were the factors that most significantly impacted on satisfaction with the various aspects of care investigated in the study. These factors were independent of provider type (hospital or clinic), ownership (public or private), source of payment, and patient level of education. Patients attending primary care clinics were more likely than those attending hospitals to be satisfied with the availability of providers and services and their ease of access to the facility. In particular, clinic patients were significantly satisfied with the availability of specialists (odds ratio, 3.82; 95% CI, 2.22-6.57), felt the facility was sufficiently high tech (4.00; 2.30-6.93), appreciated the presence of Saudi doctors (1.96; 1.18-3.25), were satisfied with the quality of the non-physician and nurse staff (3.03; 1.71-5.39), had family living near by (1.75; 1.02-3.01), and had attended the facility because they had heard good things about it from others (12.62; 1.56-4.38) or a family member had a previous positive experience with the facility (1.66; 0.98-2.81). Specifically they did not think their facility was located sufficiently close to their residence (0.42; 0.25-0.70), were dissatisfied with the scheduling of appointments (0.50; 0.30-0.84), felt costs were too high (0.50; 029-0.87), and were not happy with the religious make-up of the staff (0.36; 0.21-0.60). Patients who attended private institutions were also dissatisfied with most of the factors in the survey. Items they were not significantly dissatisfied with included the availability of providers of the same sex, the ease to get to the facility, the length of waiting time, the ease of registration and scheduling of appointments, and the presence of Saudi doctors.For the most part, individuals who paid for care from personal resources or those of the family (private pay) were most dissatisfied with the facilities they attended. Private-pay patients were significantly dissatisfied with the availability of specialists (0.56; 0.34-0.94), the ease of registering (0.58; 0.36-0.94), the quality of doctors available (0.64; 0.38-1.06), the quality of manners (0.54; 0.33-0.89), and the religion of facility staff (0.64; 0.39-1.05). They were satisfied with their ability to move around in their facility (0.64; 0.39-1.65), and the presence of Saudi doctors (1.53; 0.94-2.49).The relationship between education level, and facets of patient satisfaction were consistently and significantly positive in direction. Patients with more years of education tended to be more satisfied with factors such as the availability of entertainment at their facility (2.24; 1.44-3.50), the facility’s proximity to their residence (1.71; 1.10-2.68), shorter waiting times (1.48; 0.94-2.33), cost of care (2.05; 1.24-3.40), quality of the doctors (1.57; 0.97-2.53), the cleanliness of the facility (1.72; 1.09-2.72), and the nationality (1.50; 0.93-2.40) and religion of the staff (1.48; 0.94-2.34). Patient age made a significant difference in reported satisfaction for only two items. Older patients tended to be more satisfied with the availability of entertainment in the facility they attended (1.02; 1.00-1.04), and the religion of the staff (1.02; 1.00-1.04). Living situation did not seem to make a difference with respect to patient satisfaction. Patients who were married as well as those who lived alone tended to be dissatisfied with the facilities they attended. Both married patients and those living alone tended to be dissatisfied with the availability of providers of the same sex, and the proximity of the facility to their residence. Patient family size was significantly related to only one satisfaction item. Patients coming from large families tended to be more satisfied with the appropriateness of appointments to the facility they attended (1.12; 1.04-1.20).The employment status of patients made a significant difference in reported satisfaction in six areas. Employed patients were more satisfied with how close their facility was to family living near by (2.02; 1.13-3.61), the technological sophistication of the facility (1.62; 0.92-2.85), the presence of Saudi doctors (3.16; 1.81-5.50), the quality of the nursing staff (2.27; 1.27-4.05), and felt the cost of care was appropriate (1.73; 0.96-3.10). They were, however, not satisfied with’ the religion of the staff at the facilities they visited (0.50; 0.29-0.88).The income level of patients as reflected by reported salary were significantly related to three items and all in a positive direction. Patients with higher salaries were more likely to be satisfied with the quality of the nursing staff (2.02; 1.27-3.21), and had a previous positive experience as a patient (1.56; 0.97-2.50) or knew of family member who had a previous positive experience at the facility they attended (1.94; 1.22-3.08). In contrast to the responses of patients with higher salaries, those who reported having a second source of income were more likely to be negative about their experiences. Patients with second incomes were significantly dissatisfied with the amount of time they had to wait for service (0.60; 0.33-1.10), the ease with registering (0.56; 0.31-1.00), and felt the cost of care was not appropriate (0.53; 0.28-1.03).Patient health status was not significantly related to satisfaction with specific aspects of the facilities they attended. However, patients who had poor self-reported health status were significantly related to two ’prior history’ factors i.e., more likely to have had a family relationship with a staff member (2.04; 1.23-3.40), and they felt the hospital had a good reputation (2.09; 1.27-3.46). On the other hand, patients with good self-reported health were significantly less satisfied with the nationality of the staff at the facility they attended (0.64; 0.39-1.07).Of all the patient characteristics only sex did not significantly affect patient responses on any of the items on the satisfaction scale.The most crucial challenge for all those who work in healthcare organizations, including those who manage them, is to ensure an exclusive standard of quality for their customers, particularly the patients. The importance of having continuous quality improvement principles must be embedded in the framework of an organization, in order to attain customer or patient satisfaction.Healthcare organizations should focus on the importance of the care process from the patient’s viewpoint, by proclaiming patient satisfaction as their mission, with an underlying emphasis on providing the best possible care for their patients. To do so, the management team must rearrange their infrastructure to reflect patient needs and demands. Satisfaction surveys are a stepping-stone to evaluating customer needs and expectations, thus allowing for the formulation of a policy to accommodate their perspectives. To tackle dissatisfaction issues effectively, the management team needs to establish a strategic plan for evaluating performance. The plan should contain calculated guidelines for each department to follow, by which they can systematically measure their compliance levels. Subsequently, a regular reporting mechanism should be instituted, one that involves department heads, and in turn, the board of directors. Monitoring performance levels helps in understanding how the organization is performing, and how it can operate better in the future.ARTICLE REFERENCES:1. Nettlemen M.

The practice of clinical radiology has become more sedentary in the era of the Picture Archiving and Communication System. Physical inactivity is a well-known risk factor for various chronic diseases. This study aimed to determine the frequency and pattern of physical exercises among radiologists in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia and the association between physical exercises and the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal symptoms.An online survey was sent to radiologists in all hospitals (academic, public, and private) in the major cities of the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. It covered information about demographic characteristics and the frequency and pattern of physical exercises. It also included an evaluation of work-related musculoskeletal symptoms using the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. This survey of 263 radiologists was conducted in April 2019. The study outcome was the presence of disabling musculoskeletal symptoms in any body region which restricted the performance of normal activities within the last 12 months. The study results were analyzed descriptively using the Chi-square test.The survey was completed by 198 participants (111 men and 87 women) with a response rate of 75.3%. Most participants (71.2%) were less than 40 years. Eighty-three men (74.8%) did a physical exercise at least weekly, compared to 45 (51.7%) women. Men were more likely to engage in various physical exercises than women. Overall, 60.9% of participants who did not do any physical exercise regularly (less than monthly) reported having disabling neck pain. This figure was found lower among participants who did physical exercises monthly (45.8%) or at least weekly (32.8%). A similar pattern was observed with shoulder pain, with 45.7% found in participants who did not exercise and only 25.8% in those engaging in physical activities at least weekly.Physical inactivity is common among radiologists, especially female ones, in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. The physical inactivity was significantly associated with work-related musculoskeletal symptoms. Gender-specific health promotion programs are needed to mitigate the negative health outcomes due to the sedentary nature of the radiology current practice.

Abstract Objective In this study, we investigate the effect of the external environmental and institutional factors on the efficiency and the performance of the public hospitals affiliated to the Ministry of Health (MOH) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). We estimate the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of catchment populations that explain the demand for health services. Methods We apply descriptive analysis to explore what external factors (demographic and socioeconomic factors) can explain the observed differences in technical efficiency scores. We use Spearman’s rank correlation, multivariate Tobit regression and Two-part model to measure the impact of the explanatory variables (i.e. population density, nationality, gender, age groups, economic status, health status, medical interventions and geographic location) on the efficiency scores. Results The analysis shows that the external factors had a significant influence on efficiency scores. We find significant associations between hospitals efficiency scores and number of populations in the catchment area, percentage of children (0–5 years old), the prevalence of infectious diseases, and the number of prescriptions dispensed from hospital’s departments. Also, the scores significantly associate with the number of populations who faced financial hardships during medical treatments, and those received financial support from social administration. That indicates the hospitals that serve more patients in previous characteristics are relatively more technically efficient. Conclusions The environmental and institutional factors have a crucial effect on efficiency and performance in public hospitals. In these regards, we suggested improvement of health policies and planning in respect to hospital efficiency and resource allocation, which consider the different demographic, socioeconomic and health status of the catchment populations (e.g., population density, poverty, health indicators and services utilization). The MOH should pay more attention to ensure appropriate allocation mechanisms of health resources and improve utilization of health services among the target populations, for securing efficient and equitable health services.

Immunizations protect children from deadly infectious diseases. Yet, there is still insufficient understanding of the factors associated with parents' non-adherence to immunizations in contexts outside of Western countries. The aim of this study is twofold: (a) to investigate non-adherence to immunizations for children aged 6 months to 6 years in Saudi Arabia based on the number of immunizations missing or delayed by more than one month; and (b) to examine the underlying factors that predict the extent of non-adherence based on the Health Belief Model framework.A cross-sectional study was carried out in 22 randomly selected primary health care centers. Structured interviews were also conducted to collect data using the modified Health Belief Model questionnaire. Multiple regression analysis was used to assess the predictors of the extent of non-adherence.Based on data from 220 participants, 51.8% of parents did not adhere with childhood immunizations. There was no significant relationship between parents' sociodemographic characteristics and the extent of their hesitancy about children's immunizations. The linear combination of perception of infectious disease severity, perception of their children's susceptibility, perception of immunization benefits, perception of fewer barriers to obtaining immunizations, cues to action related to immunizations, and self-efficacy predicted the extent of non-adherence to immunizations (F (11.220) = 2.595, p < 0.001) and explained 12% of its variance. Yet, only perceived children's susceptibility, perceived barriers, and self-efficacy independently predicted parents' non-adherence.Saudi Arabia's high proportion of non-adherence to childhood immunizations should be addressed. For instance, a health education program could be developed to increase parents' awareness that their children are susceptible to health risks. Paying a special attention to existing barriers in accessing and receiving the immunizations is crucial. In addition, building parents' self-efficacy, which is confident in making healthy decisions, such as keeping their children's immunizations up to date, is important.

Recently, the role of doctors and managers in health care management has become a hot topic in the newspapers and public magazine in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The aim of this paper is to contribute constructively and scientifically to this topical issue by emphasizing that commonality and interaction between medicine and management dictate more involvement of doctors in management. Although one may argue that doctors are usually not well trained in resources management, scientific evidence supports the need for more involvement of doctors in managing health care system. In addition, government needs to make a strategic shift towards high quality primary and preventive care to enable doctors in management role to maintain essential services and contain cost.

The digital revolution has had a huge impact on healthcare around the world. Digital technology could dramatically improve the accuracy of diagnosis, treatment, health outcomes, efficiency of care, and workflow of healthcare operations. Using health information technology will bring major improvements in patient outcomes.This study aims to measure the readiness for digital health transformation at different hospitals in the Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia in relation to Saudi Vision 2030 based on the four dimensions adopted by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society: person-enabled health, predictive analytics, governance and workforce, and interoperability.The study was conducted with a cross-sectional design using data collected through an online questionnaire from 10 healthcare settings, the questionnaire consists of the four digital health indicators. The survey was developed by Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society for the purpose of assessing the level of digital maturity in healthcare settings.Ten healthcare facilities in the Eastern Province, both private and governmental, were included in the study. The highest total scores for digital health transformation were reported in private healthcare facilities (median score for private facilities = 77, public facilities = 71). The 'governance and workforce' was the most implemented dimension among the healthcare facilities in the study (median = 80), while the dimension that was least frequently implemented was predictive analytics (median score = 70). In addition, tertiary hospitals scored the least in digital transformation readiness (median = 74) compared to primary and secondary healthcare facilities in the study.The results of the study show that private healthcare facilities scored higher in digital health transformation indicators. These results will be useful for promoting policymakers' understanding of the level of digital health transformation in the Eastern Province and for the creation of a strategic action plan.

Introduction This article is a first-hand report on the experience of paramedic students providing emergency medical services (EMS) at Hajj, an annual mass gathering of Muslim pilgrims in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Previous quantitative research on Hajj has primarily reported on demographic descriptive data. A qualitative approach to understanding Hajj was not discovered in the literature. This qualitative phenomenological study was conducted to investigate the experiences of EMS students providing patient care at Hajj. Methods This research was conducted using a qualitative phenomenological methodology. Focus group interviews were conducted on Bachelor degree students studying EMS at a public college in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, who were all required to serve as support providers at Hajj as part of their paramedic training. Results Participants described their experiences as honorable and beneficial to their EMS education. Participants encountered medical and trauma patients and this provided opportunities to apply their EMS knowledge and medical skills. They reported an increase in motivation, confidence and ability to think critically. Common challenges included language barriers and difficulty reaching patients due to massive crowds. Participants provided recommendations for improving the EMS provided at Hajj, which were generally focused on increasing utilisation of EMS students, development of standards and scope of practice for EMS at Hajj and a preceptor-training program. Conclusion Attending the Hajj mass gathering was found to have significant educational value for EMS students. Specific recommendations on how to improve this education experience and provided emergency care at Hajj are made. These recommendations hold practical implications for EMS training programs and Hajj organizers.

Over the last two decades, medical services in Saudi Arabia have witnessed a great improvement due to excellent primary health care programs, well-equipped hospitals, and a thriving private sector. Increased public awareness regarding health matters and concern over quality of care have increased the number of formal complaints against physicians. To keep up with such developments, it was found necessary to formulate local regulations for the practice of medicine and appoint a number of medico-legal committees to look into such complaints. This article explains some of the relevant rules and how these committees work. Finally, a set of useful guidelines are offered to help physicians in their daily work.

Introduction: CoV infections can potentially cause from a simple cold to a severe respiratory syndrome, such as the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV). The COVID-19 created a new reality for global healthcare models. Objetive: To evaluate trends in case fatality rates of COVID-19 in the World. Methods: We conducted a population based time-series study using public and official data of cases and deaths from COVID-19 in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, France, Germany, India, Iran, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Morocco, New Zealand, Nigeria, Peru, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States and Russian, between December, 2019 and August, 2020. Data were based on reports from European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. COVID-19 was defined by the International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision (U07.1). A Prais-Winsten regression model was performed and the Daily Percentage Change (DPC) calculated determine rates as increasing, decreasing or flat. Results: During the study period, trends in case-fatality rates in the world were flat (DPC = 0.3; CI 95% [-0.2: 0.7]; p = 0.225). In Africa, Morocco had decreasing trends (DPC = -1.1; CI 95% [-1.5: -0.7]; p < 0.001), whereas it were increasing in South Africa (p < 0.05) and flat in Nigeria (p > 0.05). In the Americas, Argentina showed a decreasing trend in case-fatality rates (DPC = -0.6; CI 95% [-1.1: -0.2]; p = 0.005), the U.S. had flat trends (p > 0.05) and all other American countries had increasing trends (p < 0.05). In Asia, Iran had decreasing trends (DPC = -1.5; CI 95% [-2.6 : -0.2]; p = 0.019); China and Saudi Arabia showed increasing trends (p < 0.05), while in India, Japan and South Korea they were flat (p > 0.05). European countries had mostly increasing trends (p < 0.05): Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK and Russia; France and Switzerland had flat trends (p > 0.05). Finally, in Oceania, trends in case-fatality rates were flat in Australia (p > 0.05) and increasing in New Zealand (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Trends in case-fatality rates of COVID-19 in the World were flat between December, 31 and August, 31. Argentina, Iran and Morocco were the only countries with decreasing trends. On the other hand, South Africa, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, China, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Spain, United Kingdom, Russian and New Zealand had increasing trends in case-fatality rate. All the other countries analyzed had flat trends. Based on case-fatality rate data, our study supports that COVID-19 pandemic is still in progress worldwide.

The present study aimed to apply the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to identify predictors of adults' intentions to improve oral health behaviors.This cross-sectional study was conducted with 1,328 adults living in the Jeddah city, Saudi Arabia. A 64-item questionnaire that evaluated behavioral intention, oral health knowledge (OHK) and TPB constructs (attitudes, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norms) was distributed. Descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used to describe the data and examine the associations among the variables. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered significant.The analysis revealed that the TPB model explained 72% of the variance in oral health behavioral intentions (OHBI), indicating a good model fit. The TPB constructs of attitudes (β = 0.299), subjective norms (β = 0.035), and perceived behavioral control (β = 0.144) were significant predictors of OHBI, whereas OHK was not. Attitude was the strongest predictor of intentions to improve oral health behaviors.The findings suggest that this model could be a helpful framework for designing oral health promotion and intervention programs. Such programs should focus on changing adults' attitudes, positive influences from close relationships, and improving self-efficacy of OHB to improve their oral health behavior.

© International Journal of Religious Tourism and Pilgrimage The two major gatherings of Muslims which take place in Makkah and Madinah, the two holiest cities of Saudi Arabia, are umrah during Ramadan the 9th month and Hajj Dhul-Hajjah in the 12th month of the Islamic year. The COVID-19 outbreak has had a massive economic and social impact on pilgrimages for Muslims - because these gatherings could lead to widespread exposures and possible spread of COVID-19 to every corner of the world, it forced the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to cancel Umrah in March 2020. The pandemic has also prompted the Saudi government to limit Hajj, with some exceptions, to pilgrims already in the country. As Hajj is one of the largest religious gathering in the world, Saudi officials, religious scholars, and scientists must meet the serious challenge to understand the impact of limiting this mass gathering. Over recent decades, the numbers of Hajj pilgrims and visitors has been increasing and existing facilities are struggling to meet their needs. Therefore, while many may see the COVID-19 outbreak during Hajj as a challenge, instead it may provide an opportunity for the Saudi Arabia government and the broader Muslim world to rethink their response to this essential Muslim pilgrimage during the pandemic. This paper will explore the COVID-19 challenges facing the government of Saudi Arabia and the Muslim world over the coming months and analyse economic implications of the outbreak. Therefore, the paper will clarify the serious COVID-19 health risk facing Hajj pilgrims and argues that geopolitics needs to be considered more seriously by organisations and institutions.

Background The emergence of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection has become a global issue of concern. Since its occurrence, about 18 million cases have been reported globally and about 280 000 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of the general population toward COVID-19. Method A cross-sectional study was conducted. A questionnaire was built by the researchers that was composed of demographics, knowledge, attitudes, and practices sections. Results The sample was composed of 575 participants. The mean scores of knowledge, attitudes, and practices were 16.48 ± 2.90, 10.01 ± 2.18, and 8.91 ± 1.91, respectively. The Ministry of Health constitutes the main source of participants’ information. Conclusion The findings showed that participants have good knowledge, positive attitudes, and satisfactory practices toward COVID-19. Yet, areas of low knowledge and negative attitudes were noticed. However, further studies are recommended to design an effective measure to control the disease.

To identify the effect of a school health education program on the knowledge of secondary school girls in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, of breast cancer and breast self-examination (BSE) and their practice of BSE.A pre-tested, self-administered questionnaire was administered to secondary students before the commencement of the health education to assess their knowledge on breast cancer and their practice of BSE. The same questionnaire was handed 6 months later to a smaller group of these students as a post-test. As the post-test group was smaller than the pre-test group, an equal sample size from the pre-test group was drawn for comparison. Random sampling and further analysis was done using the SPSS program, and for the comparison of the two groups, the student t-test and chi square were used.The post-test was answered by 1372 students. The sampled re-test group comprised 1400 students (N= 7663) forming a sample of 18.3%. The ages for both groups ranged between 16-25 years (mean = 18.4; SD=1.9). Saudi nationals formed 73.4% of both groups and the proportion of married students was 8.4%. Those who reported that they had relatives with breast mass were 11.2%. The mean knowledge indexes on breast cancer reached 19.7 for the pre-test group and 43.0 for the post-group (t=31.2; p<0.0001). Correct answers for BSE rose significantly among the post-test group. A proportion of 27.2% students from the post-group reported that they had been motivated to practice BSE at least 3 times during the last 6 month.The outcome of the school health education program on breast cancer had been successful in raising the awareness of secondary school girls and in helping them to practice BSE more. Hence, it is recommended that the programme be implemented in all female secondary schools and colleges.

To investigate the degree of public awareness, beliefs, and attitudes regarding major depression and available treatment options in the Saudi population.A community-based cross-sectional study of 1,188 participants was carried out from March to April 2021 in Ha'il, Saudi Arabia using an online self-administered questionnaire. Using a snowball sampling technique, the authors targeted the Saudi population living in Ha'il region.Overall, 65.6% of the participants had good awareness regarding depression disorder in total. Of the participants, 72.9% had good awareness regarding general awareness, 85.4% regarding depression symptoms, 12.3% regarding risk factors, and 15.7% regarding treatments. Of the participants, 67.3% believed that depression was caused by lack of faith and 45.5% believed that depression was caused by "the evil eye" or black magic. Of the participants, 56% believed in faith healers as a legitimate treatment approach. Of the participants, 63.9% were willing to work with individuals with depression, 62.7% were willing to establish friendships with them, and 27.9% believed that individuals with depression had weak personalities.The general population exhibited good general awareness regarding depression and its symptoms, but knowledge of risk factors and treatments was poor. Our findings underscore the need for public educational programs to increase public awareness about the risk factors and treatment options for depression.

Currently, the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca is an exceptional event, mixing populations from various countries and viruses. Several outbreaks have been linked to this trip in the past, including meningococcal meningitis and pneumonia [1Benkouiten S Charrel R Belhouchat K et al.Circulation of respiratory viruses among pilgrims during the 2012 Hajj pilgrimage.Clin Infect Dis. 2013; 57: 992-1000Crossref PubMed Scopus (95) Google Scholar]. This year, the fear was that the new Middle East coronavirus could cause a massive outbreak [2Zaki AM van Boheemen S Bestebroer TM Osterhaus AD Fouchier RA Isolation of a novel coronavirus from a man with pneumonia in Saudi Arabia.N Engl J Med. 2012; 367: 1814-1820Crossref PubMed Scopus (4005) Google Scholar]. This is because of hubris that overtook the scientific press, the WHO and governments about this disease, which is very rare and has low transmissibility [3Assiri A Al-Tawfiq JA Al-Rabeeah AA et al.Epidemiological, demographic, and clinical characteristics of 47 cases of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus disease from Saudi Arabia: a descriptive study.Lancet Infect Dis. 2013; 13: 752-761Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (1074) Google Scholar]. The attention focused on this rare disease deflected attention from real infectious disease epidemics that are well known. Among them is influenza. The meeting in Mecca of pilgrims from regions where seasonal influenza has not started, such as the Maghreb and Europe (250 000 pilgrims on average from Europe go to Mecca), and regions where influenza is now particularly common, such as tropical Africa, means that pilgrims are exposed to a very high risk of acquiring this disease. This is what is happening now, and pilgrims returning to Marseille are very commonly infected with, H3N2, H1N1 and B influenza viruses (unpublished). Thus, as often in recent years, the false epidemics take precedence over real epidemics, and prevent the establishment of true studies on the surveillance and prevention of true epidemics. The recommendation for early vaccination for influenza among pilgrims would probably have prevented several thousands of influenza cases and, perhaps, the risk of secondary spread in countries not yet affected by influenza, as the number of pilgrims returning infected is huge. In a preliminary, not published, study, as many as 9% of pilgrims this year came back to France with one influenza virus in the throat. We need to be reasonable and continue to take care of real and established contagious and epidemic diseases, and not divert our actions to diseases that have little known effect on the human population and vanish as rapidly as they appear. No conflicts of interest to declare.

Obesity is an alarming public health concern and needs to be addressed promptly in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Sedentary lifestyle, changes in dietary intake and choice, culture, gender, climatic conditions and, lately, COVID-19 have contributed to obesity as a near epidemic in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Interventions targeting obesity includes lifestyle management, pharmacotherapy, and surgery. Lifestyle interventions qualify as first-line therapies. Diets include a low-fat diet, low-calorie diet, low-carbohydrate diet, high-protein diet, and low-glycemic-index diet. Diet and exercise interventions can have a huge impact on weight loss. Pharmacotherapy is considered a treatment option at a later stage. Surgery is only for severely obese individuals. Above all, the government has to intervene and implement regulations and policies that can curb the incidence of obesity. This review aims to address obesity in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, interventions to curb it, and the impact of COVID-19 on obesity.

Aims: A good compliance with oral hygiene practices depends on the level of awareness and source of information. The present study attempts to evaluate and compare the level of awareness of oral health and its hygiene practice among rural and urban schoolchildren in Al Qassim Region, Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods: The study included 228 boys in the age group of 6–7 and 12–13 years from three schools each in the rural and urban area in Al Qassim, Saudi Arabia. Data on oral health knowledge and practices were collected by means of a self-administered questionnaire. Statistical Analysis: Data were represented in percentages. Comparison of response between rural-urban and age groups of schoolchildren was done using Chi-square test, with a confidence interval at 95% (P < 0.05). Results: Children residing in urban areas found to prefer professionals (P < 0.001) as their source for acquiring knowledge about oral health and hygiene practices. They also outscored in translating knowledge in terms of vertical technique (P < 0.001) and frequency (P < 0.05) of brushing. Professionals were found to be the source for majority of children of elder group (P < 0.001), whereas younger were dependent on parents for the same. Elder group also showed to have better practice in terms of frequency (P < 0.001) and choice of medium for brushing (P < 0.01). Conclusion: Wider availability of healthcare services in the urban areas has improved the awareness for oral health. By large, younger group of children has considered parents as their role model and approach them to seek advice on health issues.

Human exposure to a hot environment may result in various heat-related illnesses (HRIs), which range in severity from mild and moderate forms to life-threatening heatstroke. The Hajj is one of the largest annual mass gatherings globally and has historically been associated with HRIs. Hajj attracts over two million Muslim pilgrims from more than 180 countries to the holy city of Makkah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Several modifiable and non-modifiable factors render Hajj pilgrims at increased risk of developing HRIs during Hajj. These include characteristics of the Hajj, its location, population, and rituals, as well as pilgrims' knowledge of HRIs and their attitude and behavior. Makkah is characterized by a hot desert climate and fluctuating levels of relative humidity. Pilgrims are very diverse ethnically and geographically, with different adaptations to heat. Significant proportions of the Hajj population are elderly, obese, and with low levels of fitness. In addition, many have underlying health conditions and are on multiple medications that can interfere with thermoregulation. Other factors are inherent in the Hajj and its activities, including crowding, physically demanding outdoor rituals, and a high frequency of infection and febrile illness. Pilgrims generally lack awareness of HRIs, and their uptake of preventive measures is variable. In addition, many engage in hazardous behaviors that increase their risk of HRIs. These include performing rituals during the peak sunshine hours with no sun protection and with suboptimal sleep, nutrition, and hydration, while neglecting treatment for their chronic conditions. HRIs preventive plans for Hajj should incorporate measures to address the aforementioned factors to reduce the burden of these illnesses in future Hajj seasons. Lessons from the Hajj can be used to inform policy making and HRIs preventive measures in the general population worldwide.

Construction site safety concerns in small construction projects in Saudi Arabia are alarming due to the large number of accidents per year. The purpose of this research is to explore construction worker's perceptions regarding construction site safety climate. An integrative model of workplace safety has been utilised to design and administer a questionnaire to workers in five small residential construction sites in the city of Najran. The results demonstrate a lack of adherence to occupational health and safety regulations by employers, a need for construction site safety protocols and enhanced external inspection systems, an unawareness among participants in regards to the safety measures endorsed by their companies, and indications of leniency due to favouritism by external inspectors. In conclusion, the study contributes to construction science and practice by identifying factors contributing to construction worker perception of safety which may help employers enhance the safety climate of small construction sites.

Background: A growing number of epidemiological evidence suggests a significant increase in waterpipe tobacco smoking, and its potential to become a major public health concern in most Arabic countries, including Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out to assess the prevalence of intention to quit among ever users of waterpipe and intention to start among the never users. The study also investigated the barriers that may prevent users from quitting or trigger the nonusers to start waterpipe smoking. The study consisted of 464 university students from Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia. Results: One hundred and sixty-eight (36.2%) participants were responded that they had WTS at least one time in the past. Among the ever users of WTS, 120 (71.4%) participants had made an attempt or more to quit WTS in the past, 64 (38.1%) had made more than one attempt, and nearly two-third expressed the intention to quit WTS in the future. Forty (13.5%) out of 296 never-users expressed their intention to start WTS in the future. The study further showed that peer influence, social acceptance, and risk perception were significant predictors of intention to start or stop WTS among students. Conclusion: It is promising that substantial users have the intention to discontinue WTS, though a fraction of never users wish to try WTS in the future.

This article focuses on the impact of COVID-19 on smoking and smoking cessation behaviours and support for smoke-free zones in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A pre-tested structured survey was distributed by email in October–November 2020 to students and staff at the University of Jeddah. Responses were analysed using descriptive statistics with summative content analysis of open text. Participants providing open text comments (n = 374/666; 56.4%) were non-smokers (n = 293; 78.3%), former smokers (n = 26; 7.0%) and current smokers (n = 55; 14.7%). Some had household members (n = 220; 58.8%) and friends who smoke (n = 198; 52.9%) plus daily exposure to secondhand smoke at home (n = 125; 33.4%). There was an awareness during COVID-19 of: smoking inside cafes/restaurants and other indoor and outdoor public places; exposure to warnings in the media both against and promoting smoking; widespread support for smoke-free zones. Smokers plans for accessing smoking cessation support are inconsistent with retrospective reports. Many express positivity highlighting reductions in smoking but there were also negative reports of increased smoking. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected every aspect of society worldwide. People have been at home more with restricted freedom of movement and limitations on social liberty. These individual accounts can help to focus evidence-based smoking prevention and cessation programmes during and post-COVID-19.

Airborne droplets and contaminated surfaces are the main routes for the epidemic virus outbreak that causes the novel coronavirus. To reduce virus spread, people wear face masks and gloves daily, which massively increases the amount of waste generated in the environment. Also, the inappropriate disposal of used masks and gloves in communities may boost the spread of the novel coronavirus. However, no studies have been conducted to evaluate a public perception regarding the management of generated masks and gloves during the global health threat. Therefore, this paper proposes a study of public awareness, attitudes, and practices towards gloves and masks generated during the novel coronavirus pandemic in Saudi Arabia. The study showed that most of the participants (74%) have adequate awareness regarding the proper way to dispose of used masks and gloves, with 76% showing positive attitudes toward waste management. Gender shows a significant correlation with the regulations of medical waste collection and disposal (r = 0.169, p = 0.0001), and the consideration of the effective disposal of COVID-19 waste management as a collective responsibility of the community (r = 0.158, p = 0.0001). Also, the study shows that the majority of participants were aware on the availability of regulations for the collection and disposal of biomedical waste. Moreover, it demonstrates that public awareness regarding the attitude and measures taken by regional municipalities to reduce the spread of coronavirus has a significant positive correlation (r = 0.279, p = 0.0001). The study further recognized that the effective management of contagious wastes significantly protects the public against the improper practices of wastes disposal generated during the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Childhood overweight and obesity have become a global public health problem.<b> </b>This study aims to determine the prevalence of these health conditions in children studying in government schools in the two cities of Buraidah and Unaizah of the Qassim Region, Saudi Arabia. The key question that we examined was whether the children enter the school as overweight or become overweight after entering the school. Using a cross-sectional, observational study design, a random sample of 874 school children between 6â to 10 years was enrolled in 2010/2011. A structured questionnaire was used for collecting data. Weight and height were measured, and the body mass index (BMI) was categorized. Based on the World Health Organization (WHO) definition, the overall prevalence of overweight and obesity was 12.8% and 10.1%, respectively. Girls had a higher prevalence of overweight (18.4%) and obesity (15.6%) than boys. Overweight tendency increased dramatically from 7.6% in Grade 1 to 19% in Grade 4. Similarly, obesity also increased progressively after entering the school. Our study suggests that overweight and obesity are mostly acquired after entering the school. Public health program are, therefore, required to promote a healthy lifestyle from the early years of schooling.

Hajj and Umrah are important events for our Muslim travellers. Mary Gawthrop provides an overview of the key considerations when providing travel advice to this group Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Makkah (Mecca), is one of the largest global gatherings of its kind, and this year it is expected to take place between 28 July and 2 August 2020. Umrah is a smaller pilgrimage that can be performed at any time of year. Both of these events pose specific risks for travellers. Crowded conditions increase the risk of exposure to infections and viruses, including meningitis, TB and, potentially, COVID-19. Travellers also need to consider food and water hygiene, and their physical fitness. Practice nurses giving travel advice need to stay up to date with the latest developments and regulations from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Background: The sudden emergence of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and scarcity of the accurate information especially in the initial phase of the struggle presented a series of challenges to health systems. Objective: To evaluate the changes in poisoning cases regarding distribution, types, and characteristics for better framing and planning of the role of our field in responding to pandemics. Methods: Study of telephone consultation calls and toxicology analysis records of poisoning cases referred to the Dammam Poison Control Center in Saudi Arabia during the first half of 2020. Their distribution according to frequencies, causes, and other characteristics was compared to the first half of 2019. Results: Analysis of telephone consultation calls revealed that the proportion of exposure to disinfectants and hand sanitizers during first half of 2020 increased to 20.4% (n = 496) and 3.4% (n = 83), respectively, compared to 9.8% (n = 215) and 0.4% (n = 10) for surface disinfectants and hand sanitizers, respectively, during the first half of 2019. In 2020, exposure to disinfectants and hand sanitizers dominated in preschool children (0-5 years). The total number of cases suspected for drugs/drugs of abuse overdose during the first 6 months of 2020 (n = 783) showed a significant decrease (P < 0.001) compared to the first 6 months of 2019 (n = 1086). Conclusion: The increased availability and use of disinfectants and sanitizers significantly increased the risk of poisoning, especially in preschool-aged children. Public health education for prevention of such home exposures is urgently needed to avoid unnecessary emergency medical system use in such critical time.

School absenteeism is increasingly recognized as a public health problem for healthcare professionals, policy makers, social workers, and educators. It is known to have short term as well as long term negative implications. This study aims at determining the prevalence and correlates of school absenteeism and its associated factors among intermediate and secondary students in Saudi Arabia (SA). A national cross-sectional survey was conducted among adolescents aged 10– 19 years (n = 12,121). Data on school-absenteeism, socio-demographics and risk behaviors were obtained and a multinomial logistic regression was conducted. The overall rate of school absenteeism was 76.1%, defind as being absent always/often, sometimes or rarely during this school year, with one-third of students being moderate or high absence. Students who reported poor relationships with their father, adolescents with polygamist fathers, smoking cigarettes, frequent napping, sleeping more than 10 h daily during weekends, being depressed or chronically ill, using the internet for >2 h daily, or rarely having breakfast during the last 30 days were strongly associated with high absenteeism. High absenteeism among adolescents warrants specific attention be given to it in SA. Serious efforts and prevention interventions are needed to decrease school absence.

Abstract Background In recent years, Saudi Arabia has witnessed staggering rates of hypertension and dyslipidemia-related cardiovascular (CV) deaths, overburdening the healthcare ecosystem of the country. Appropriate public health interventions can be devised through quantitative mapping of evidence. Identification of potential data gaps can prioritize future research needs and develop a ‘best-fit’ framework for patient-centric management of hypertension and dyslipidemia. Methods This review quantified data gaps in the prevalence and key epidemiological touchpoints of the patient journey including awareness, screening, diagnosis, treatment, adherence, and control in patients with hypertension and dyslipidemia in Saudi Arabia. Studies published in English between January 2010 and December 2021 were identified through a structured search on MEDLINE, Embase, BIOSIS, and PubMed databases. An unstructured search on public and government websites, including Saudi Ministry of Health, without date limits was carried out to fill data gaps. After exclusion of studies based on predefined criteria, a total of 14 studies on hypertension and 12 studies and one anecdotal evidence for dyslipidemia were included in the final analyses. Results The prevalence of hypertension was reported to be 14.0%–41.8% while that for dyslipidemia was 12.5%–62.0%. The screening rate for hypertension was 100.0% as revealed by the nationwide surveys. Among hypertensive patients, only 27.6%–61.1% patients were aware of their condition, 42.2% patients underwent diagnosis, 27.9%–78.9% patients received antihypertensive treatment, 22.5% patients adhered to treatment medication, while blood pressure (BP) control was achieved in 27.0%–45.0% patients. Likewise, among patients with dyslipidemia, 10.5%–47.3% patients were aware of their condition, 34.6% patients were screened, and 17.8% underwent diagnosis. Although high treatment rates ranging from 40.0%–94.0% were reported, medication adherence recorded was 45.0%–77.4% among the treated patients. The overall low control rates ranged from 28.0%–41.5%. Conclusions The study findings highlight evidence gaps along key touchpoints of patient journey. Reinforcing the efforts for high-quality evidence-based research at a national level may pave a path for better resource utilization and provide guidance to practice and amend health policies for patients, healthcare practitioners (HCPs), and healthcare policy makers for better patient outcomes in Saudi Arabia.

The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to examine disparities in hand washing and social distancing among 2,509 adults from the United States, Italy, Spain, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and India. Respondents were recruited via Qualtrics’ participant pool and completed an online survey in the most common language spoken in each country. In hierarchical linear regression models, living in a rural area (β = -0.08, p = .001), older age (β = 0.07, p < .001), identifying as a woman (β = 0.07, p = .001), and greater educational attainment (β = 0.07, p = .017) were significantly associated with hand washing. Similar results were found regarding social distancing, in which living in a rural area (β = -0.10, p < .001), country of residence (β = 0.11, p < .001), older age (β = 0.17, p < .001), identifying as a woman (β = 0.11, p < .001), and greater educational attainment (β = 0.06, p = .019) were significant predictors. Results from the multivariable linear regression models demonstrate more nuanced findings with distinct and significant disparities across the five countries found with respect to hand washing and social distancing. Taken together, the results suggest multiple influencing factors that contribute to existing disparities regarding social distancing and hand washing among adults internationally. As such, more tailored public interventions are needed to promote preventive measures to mitigate existing COVID-related disparities.

Every year, as many as 2·5 million Muslims from more than 160 countries gather for the 5-day Hajj in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, where population density can reach seven people per square metre.1Memish ZA Stephens GM Steffen R Ahmed QA Emergence of medicine for mass gatherings: lessons from the Hajj.Lancet Infect Dis. 2012; 12: 56-65Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (143) Google Scholar Protecting pilgrims from health risks in such a huge gathering is a great challenge, especially for the Saudi Ministry of Health (MOH).1Memish ZA Stephens GM Steffen R Ahmed QA Emergence of medicine for mass gatherings: lessons from the Hajj.Lancet Infect Dis. 2012; 12: 56-65Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (143) Google Scholar In 2011, the Hajj health system consisted of 141 primary care centres, 24 hospitals with 4964 beds, and more than 30 000 health-care professionals.1Memish ZA Stephens GM Steffen R Ahmed QA Emergence of medicine for mass gatherings: lessons from the Hajj.Lancet Infect Dis. 2012; 12: 56-65Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (143) Google Scholar Public health practices in the Hajj, including infectious disease surveillance, outbreak investigations, and mass vaccinations, require vigilance in addressing threats of emerging infectious diseases such as influenza H1N1, and MERS-CoV.1Memish ZA Stephens GM Steffen R Ahmed QA Emergence of medicine for mass gatherings: lessons from the Hajj.Lancet Infect Dis. 2012; 12: 56-65Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (143) Google Scholar The Saudi MOH starts preparation for the next Hajj immediately after the pilgrims' departure, using feedback from local and international health organisations that provided health services during the Hajj. Technical consultations are continuously sought with global public health agencies such as WHO and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.1Memish ZA Stephens GM Steffen R Ahmed QA Emergence of medicine for mass gatherings: lessons from the Hajj.Lancet Infect Dis. 2012; 12: 56-65Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (143) Google Scholar Infectious disease outbreaks that might spread globally when pilgrims return to their countries are the most worrying threats, and examples include the 1989 meningitis type A,2Guilera J-F Perrocheau A Meffre C Hahné S Outbreak of serogroup W135 meningococcal disease after the Hajj pilgrimage, Europe, 2000.Emerg Infect Dis. 2002; 8: 753-760Crossref PubMed Scopus (109) Google Scholar and 2001 meningitis type W135 outbreaks.3Al-Gahtani YM El Bushra HE Al-Qarawai SM Al-Zubaidi AA Fontaine RE Epidemiological investigation of an outbreak of meningococcal meningitis in Makkah (Mecca), Saudi Arabia, 1992.Epidemiol Infect. 1995; 115: 399-409Crossref PubMed Scopus (81) Google Scholar To prevent infectious disease epidemics, every pilgrim must present a vaccination certificate to get a Hajj visa. Yet the Saudi MOH has to depend on health authorities in other countries to implement public health regulations reliably. This might not be a problem for high-income countries with established health systems, but low-income and middle-income countries, where most Muslim pilgrims come from, could need assistance to implement the strict regulations. Assistance can take many forms, including provision of training to strengthen public health systems in pilgrims' host countries. The need for Saudi Arabia to share experience of international health system strengthening is recognised,1Memish ZA Stephens GM Steffen R Ahmed QA Emergence of medicine for mass gatherings: lessons from the Hajj.Lancet Infect Dis. 2012; 12: 56-65Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (143) Google Scholar and global health diplomacy was suggested as a powerful tool to facilitate such a mission.1Memish ZA Stephens GM Steffen R Ahmed QA Emergence of medicine for mass gatherings: lessons from the Hajj.Lancet Infect Dis. 2012; 12: 56-65Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (143) Google Scholar, 4Alamro N Hajj University and global health diplomacy.

The University, to be in Mecca, will provide education, training, and research to improve Hajj services. The University could benefit from the experience of the Graduate Institute of International Studies, Geneva, in global health diplomacy training, and other international and local public health institutes such as the Hajj research centre, the Saudi centre for disease control and prevention, and local universities. The proposed new University can be seen as an example of Saudi Arabian global health diplomacy, which could be beneficial in sharing experience of international health system strengthening to control potential global public health hazards, such as poliovirus in Pakistan.7Ahmed QA Nishtar S Memish ZA Poliomyelitis in Pakistan: time for the Muslim world to step in.Lancet. 2013; 381: 1521-1523Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (14) Google Scholar During 2001–08 I worked for the Saudi Ministry of Health in positions related to health at the Hajj. I declare that I have no conflicts of interest.
