Fowzan Alkuraya occupies a unique position in Saudi Arabia's scientific community. As Principal Clinical Scientist of the Developmental Genetics Unit at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre, and as Professor of Human Genetics at the College of Medicine, Alfaisal University, both in Riyadh, his laboratory is focused on understanding genetic disorders specific to the Saudi population, where consanguinity and resultant inherited genetic disorders represent a major public health problem. “Our effort is to complement genetic research worldwide. For genomics to deliver, we have to make the connection between DNA variation and health and human disease. Our research is driven by what is actionable in terms of prevention efforts, especially important in a country like Saudi Arabia”, he says.

Background: Mental health awareness surveys that assess the broad knowledge of various stakeholders including public nationwide help in the development of relevant strategies to enhance their poor mental health literacy.
 Objective: The aim of this telephone polling survey was to measure mental health awareness of general public in Saudi Arabia.
 Method: The participants (n=1068) randomly selected from 13 regions of Saudi Arabia were contacted by 15 trained Saudi girl interviewers for conducting 30-minutes individual interview in Arabic language using a self-designed 15-item questionnaire.
 Results: About one fourth of responders (23%) reported either personal or family member having mental disorder, and depression and anxiety disorders were the commonest problems. Stigma against mental disorders and consulting health professionals, misperceptions towards psychotropics and social exclusion and shame were variably reported by the participants. Though the participants perceived barriers to have access to MH services, 55% of responders reported MH services were of good to excellent grade, and the two most common help-seeking modes were psychiatric and religious and spiritual service providers.
 Conclusion: Although this community participatory mental health polling survey is found to have encouraging mental health literacy of public participants, evidence based training programs and campaigns for further improving people mental health literacy are needed in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere in the Arabian Gulf countries.

Abstract Background: Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) created a major public health emergency and an international concern. It is an infectious respiratory illness caused by acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The international mortality rates due to COVID-19 reached 2,748,763 on March 24, 2021. We describe the prevalence, case fatality rate, and epidemiological trends of COVID-19 mortality in Saudi Arabia in this paper. Method: A systematic approach of evaluating COVID-19 related mortalities was established in Saudi Arabia. A scientific committee that evaluated all reported cases with suspicious or confirmed COVID-19 disease using a standardized electronic form. A data registry of all deaths with all clinical parameters was built based on active reporting from all healthcare facilities in Saudi Arabia. Analysis of data using national and regional crude case fatality rate (cCFR) and death per 100,000 population was carried. Descriptive analysis of age, gender, nationality, and comorbidities. Mortality trend was plotted per week and compared to international figures. Results: The total reported number of deaths between March 23 rd until April 9, 2021 was 6,737. cCFR was reported as 1.70%, and death per 100,000 population was reported as 19.24 which compared favourably to figures reported by several developed countries. Highest percentages of deaths were among individuals aged between 60-69 years, males (74%), individuals with diabetes (60%), and Hypertension (50%). Conclusion: Case fatality rate and death per 100,000 population in Saudi Arabia is among the lowest in the world due to multiple factors. Several comorbidities have been identified namely diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and cardiac arrhythmias.

Knowledge of common eye disorders and their prevention and treatment can play an essential role in reducing the visual impairment burden. A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was conducted from 15 November 2020 to 15 January 2021 to estimate the knowledge and awareness about common eye problems and their possible risk factors among the general population of the Hail Region, Saudi Arabia. The study also investigated the participants’ sources of information about eye diseases. Participants from various areas of the Hail Region were randomly selected. There were four parts in the questionnaire based upon the general awareness about the common eye diseases, participants’ knowledge and awareness of risk factors associated with eye disorders, awareness of treatment and prevention of various eye disorders, and the participants’ sources of information about ocular diseases. The questionnaire was distributed to the participants by direct contact with them at eye clinics, hospitals, malls, and markets. The number of participants in the survey was 400 people, 53.8% males and 46.3% females. Cataracts were known to 31% of the participants, 43% knew about glaucoma, 66% knew about dry eyes, and 44% knew about diabetic retinopathy. Overall, 46% of the participants knew about eye problems, and the male participants had better knowledge about eye problems than the female ones. The primary sources of information about the common eye diseases were pharmacists (43.3%), family physicians (40.3%), the Internet (37.3%), the community (37.3%), television and radio (9.3%), and books/ brochures (9.5%). In the Hail Region, the general public carries a moderate awareness of preventable vision-threatening ocular disorders. However, the awareness of cataracts and glaucoma was low. The gaps in awareness can be overcome by public health promotion. In offering information about eye conditions to the general public, pharmacists may play a crucial role.

Determining the key sets of competencies necessary for a Health Informatics (HI) professional to practice effectively either solo or as a member of a multidisciplinary team has been challenging for the regulator and registration body responsible for the healthcare workforce in Saudi Arabia, which is the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS). The aim of this study was to develop a HI competency framework to guide SCFHS to introduce a HI certification program that meets local healthcare needs and is aligned with the national digital health transformation strategy. A two-phase mixed methods approach was used in this study. For phase 1, a scoping review was conducted to identify HI competencies that have been published in the relevant literature. Out of a total 116 articles found relevant, 20 were included for further analysis. For phase 2, Saudi HI stakeholders (N = 24) that included HI professionals, administrators, academics, and healthcare professionals were identified and participated in an online survey, and asked to rank the importance of HI competencies distinguished in phase 1. To further validate and contextualize the competency framework, multiple focus groups and expert panel meetings were undertaken with the key stakeholders. For phase 1, about 1315 competencies were initially extracted from the included studies. After iterative reviews and refinements of codes and themes, 6 preliminary domains, 23 sub-domains and 152 competencies were identified. In phase 2, a total of 24 experts participated in the online surveys and ranked 58 out of 152 competencies as ‘very important/required’, each received 75 % or more of votes. The remaining competencies (N = 94) were included in a list for a further discussion in the focus groups. A Total of fourteen HI experts accepted and joined in the focus groups. The multiphase approach resulted in a competency framework that included 92 competencies, that were grouped into 6 domains and 22 subdomains. The six key domains are: Core Principles; Information and Communication Technology (ICT); Health Sciences; Health Data Analytics; Education and Research; Leadership and Management. The study developed the Saudi Health Informatics Competency Framework (SHICF) that is based on an iterative, evidence-based approach, with validation from key stakeholders. Future work should continue the validation, review, and development of the framework with continued collaboration from relevant stakeholders representing both the healthcare and educational communities. We anticipate that this work will be expanded and adopted by relative professional and scientific bodies in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.

More than 33 years have passed since the first paper highlighting vitamin D deficiency as a public health concern in Saudi Arabia was published in 1983. Despite “early” detection,it wasn’t until the year 2010 where the interest in vitamin D research grew exponentially worldwide and was finally visible in Saudi clinical and academic areas. Since then,many landmark studies have been generated with regards to the physiologic functions of vitamin D,both skeletal and extra-skeletal. This review is limited to the prevalence,distribution A systematic review on the prevalence studies done in KSA from 2011 to 2016 was done and revealed that the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (<50 nmol/l) in Saudi Arabia among different populations (adults,children and adolescents,newborns and pregnant/lactating women) is 81.0% (Confidence Interval 95% 68.0–90.0),in line with most neighboring Gulf countries. Vitamin D deficiency in KSA has been mostly associated with bone and insulin-resistant diseases but limited data are available to prove causality. In conclusion,there is a need to develop local consensus guidelines that will identify candidates for screening,monitoring and treating those who are at most risk for vitamin D deficiency complications.

MG=mass gathering. COVID-19=coronavirus disease 2019. WHO's risk assessment tool enables organisers to methodically review key considerations and risk management steps for hosting an event, assess risks with a weighted-system approach, and factor in risk reduction through various mitigation measures. The COVID-19 Risk Assessment for MGs14WHOKey planning recommendations for mass gatherings in the context of the current COVID-19 outbreak. Interim guidance.https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/331004/WHO-2019-nCoV-POEmassgathering-2020.1-eng.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=yDate: Feb 14, 2020Date accessed: March 17, 2020Google Scholar builds on existing guidance for MGs. The standard risk questions for a MG involve assessment of how well prepared and equipped the host country health system is to detect an usual health event, such as a disease outbreak, and to respond quickly and effectively to the event if it happens. The new risk assessment tool adds an element to assess the additional risk from the MG in relation to COVID-19 (panel). This risk assessment includes questions on the range of countries participants will come from, the prevalence and transmission pattern of COVID-19 in these countries and in the host country, the extent of social interactions that is likely to arise at the MG, and the demographic profile of participants. The COVID-19 Risk Assessment for MGs tool then involves consideration of the possible mitigation actions that could be put in place at the MG to reduce the risk against a list of questions about the host's understanding of, and preparedness for, COVID-19 response measures. At present there is scant evidence on the effectiveness of individual mitigation actions for COVID-19. As better epidemiology about COVID-19 and evidence on the effectiveness of different mitigation strategies become available, the COVID-19 Risk Assessment for MGs tool will be continuously refined to reflect changing knowledge. This rigorous process can inform risk assessment and decision making about MGs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Such MG risk assessments should be reviewed regularly during planning and updated immediately before the MG operational phase, especially in light of the evolving national and international epidemiological situations. There is no specific evidence base yet specific to planning and implementing a MG during the COVID-19 pandemic. Detection and monitoring of MG-event-related COVID-19 should be considered in the context of surveillance schemes that are already in place and if new or enhanced surveillance is deemed necessary. In collaboration with local health authorities, organisers should agree in advance the circumstances in which risk-mitigation measures would need to be enhanced or the event postponed or cancelled. Despite the development of the COVID-19 Risk Assessment for MGs tool, events continue to be cancelled without this risk assessment being done and without clear communication of justification in terms of the expected impact on the spread of COVID-19. These cancellations have social and economic impacts on public morale, on national economies, and on individual livelihoods. The effect of MG cancellations on reducing the spread of COVID-19 needs to be determined. The global public health community needs to consider the effects of MG cancellations on the future wellbeing of communities through economic recession or job losses, as well as through the spread, or otherwise, of COVID-19. A precautionary approach is often used to explain MG cancellations, but when does an abundance of caution become counterproductive? The overarching advice14WHOKey planning recommendations for mass gatherings in the context of the current COVID-19 outbreak. Interim guidance.https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/331004/WHO-2019-nCoV-POEmassgathering-2020.1-eng.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=yDate: Feb 14, 2020Date accessed: March 17, 2020Google Scholar during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is that events should be cancelled or postponed on the basis of a context-specific risk assessment. If a decision is made to proceed with MG events, risk mitigation measures should be put in place, consistent with WHO guidance on social distancing for COVID-19,16WHOCoronavirus diseases (COVID-19) advice for the public.https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-publicDate: 2020Date accessed: March 18, 2020Google Scholar and the rationale for the decision should be clearly explained and communicated to the public.

The present decline in per capita expenditure on health in Saudi Arabia requires private funding to reduce pressure of health expenditure on the government budget. User charges would be an important source of revenue in the Kingdom where services cannot be cut and taxes are not imposed. User charges in public facilities would curtail over-utilization and reduce inefficient use of resources by providing a link between financial responsibility and the provision of services. The financial implication facing patients would encourage them to be more cost-conscience, and therefore their physicians would be encouraged to limit practices such as over prescribing drugs and the use of highly specialized diagnostic procedures for routine investigation or minor illnesses. Lack of economic incentives have led to a lack of concern for the cost of medical care. User charges would not only encourage both consumers and providers to be cost-conscious, but would raise revenue to ease pressure on the health budget, combat moral hazards and assert priorities. However, to be effective, and in order to make a serious impact on the health system, user charges must be extended to all government sectors and specialist hospitals and charges must be high enough to discourage inappropriate use of services.

Osteoporosis has been recognized as a major public health problem by healthcare providers in Saudi Arabia. The present study examines the osteoporosis knowledge, health beliefs, and some of the life habits in two different Saudi women’s groups (with family history, and without family history), to find the association of their knowledge and health beliefs with their preventive practice. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among a convenience sample of 288 young age (20 to 40 years) women attending the health centers in Al-Hassa, Saudi Arabia. Both groups had an inadequate daily calcium intake with a significant difference between them. The women without family history had low mean of knowledge (8.9 ± 2.7) compared with family history group (9.3 ± 2.7) with a significant difference (p = 0.04). Based on the Osteoporosis Health Belief Scale (OHBS) subscale mean score, the perceived susceptibility and perceived severity were lower in women without family history with a significant difference between the groups (p = 0.02, 0.00; respectively). The family history group had lower mean score barriers of calcium intake and exercise with a significant difference between groups (p = 0.017, 0.013; respectively). Statistically significant correlation was found between calcium intake and OHBS subscale perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits of calcium intake and exercise, and perceived barriers of exercise only for the family history group. This study indicates inadequate daily calcium intake, with moderate knowledge of osteoporosis in Saudi women and highlights the need for diet and life habits interventions to improve calcium intake and exercise, which may help to reduce the burden of osteoporosis in Saudi Arabia.

Globally speaking, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality, with coronary artery disease (CAD) contributing to half of the cases. A major complication of CAD is myocardial infarction (MI). The clinical outcomes of MI are predominantly time-dependent; therefore, it is paramount that the general public is familiar with the early symptoms of MI.The main objective is to gauge the local public awareness of the early symptoms of MI, and their knowledge of the best course of action to be taken from the onset of symptoms.A cross-sectional study was conducted using google forms. Participants were randomly selected through multiple social media platforms. The study included Saudi citizens who were 18 years or older, with no current or prior experience in the health care field. The questionnaire assessed the participants' awareness of 14 risk factors for CAD. The variables investigated were participants' knowledge of the symptoms, causes, appropriate course of action to be taken, and the risk factors of CAD.A total of 1689 participants were involved in this study. Sixty percent were females, and 29.2% were in the age group of 18-24 years. Seventy-three percent of the participants knew the definition of heart attack, and 90% knew that chest pain is a symptom of a heart attack. Approximately, 75% of the participants recognized that hypertension, cigarette smoking, and high cholesterol are the risk factors of MI. In terms of knowledge, Al Madinah province obtained the highest score when compared with other regions.This study showed the overall knowledge and awareness of CAD was suboptimal, indicating that awareness initiatives and patient education of CAD need more work in Saudi Arabia, especially in high-risk groups and lower education groups. More studies are needed to identify the efficiency and population access of different approaches for CAD awareness.

There is much variability in the measurement and monitoring of patient safety across healthcare organizations. With no recognized standardized approach, this study examines how the key components outlined in Vincent et al's Measuring and Monitoring Safety (MMS) framework can be utilized to critically appraise a healthcare safety surveillance system. The aim of this study is to use the MMS framework to evaluate the Saudi Arabian healthcare safety surveillance system for hospital care.This qualitative study consisted of two distinct phases. The first phase used document analysis to review national-level guidance relevant to measuring and monitoring safety in Saudi Arabia. The second phase consisted of semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders between May and August 2020 via a video conference call and focused on exploring their knowledge of how patient safety is measured and monitored in hospitals. The MMS framework was used to support data analysis.Three documents were included for analysis and 21 semi-structured interviews were conducted with key stakeholders working in the Saudi Arabian healthcare system. A total of 39 unique methods of MMS were identified, with one method of MMS addressing two dimensions. Of these MMS methods: 10 (25 %) were concerned with past harm; 14 (35 %) were concerned with the reliability of safety critical processes, 3 (7.5 %) were concerned with sensitivity to operations, 2 (5 %) were concerned with anticipation and preparedness, and 11 (27.5 %) were concerned with integration and learning.The document analysis and interviews show an extensive system of MMS is in place in Saudi Arabian hospitals. The assessment of MMS offers a useful framework to help healthcare organizations and researchers to think critically about MMS, and how the data from different methods of MMS can be integrated in individual countries or health systems.

Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), due to its potential for causing morbidity and disability from foot ulcers and amputations, is increasingly becoming a source of concern in Saudi Arabia and worldwide. However, wide variability exists in the prevalence of DPN reported in previous studies in Saudi Arabia, limiting the utility of existing data in national public health policy. Therefore, the aim of this study was to systematically evaluate the magnitude of DPN in patients living with DM in Saudi Arabia in order to inform policymakers during the implementation of appropriate preventive and treatment strategies for DPN.PubMed, Google Scholar, African Journals Online, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and Wiley Online Library were searched systematically to acquire relevant articles based on preset criteria. We evaluated heterogeneity and publication bias and employed a random-effects model to estimate the pooled prevalence of DPN from the included studies. We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines in conducting the meta-analysis. Analysis was performed using the STATA Version 12 software.Twelve studies with a total of 4,556 participants living with DM, of whom 2,081 were identified as having DPN were included in the meta-analysis. The overall prevalence of DPN was 39% (95% CI [30%, 49%]). Subgroup analysis based on diagnostic method showed that prevalence estimates for DPN using screening questionnaires and clinical examination were 48% (95% CI [46%, 50%]) and 40% (95% CI: [38%, 42%]), respectively, while the estimated prevalence using nerve conduction studies was 26% (95% CI [15%, 36%]).This study showed a high magnitude of DPN in Saudi Arabia (39%), thus highlighting the need for sustained efforts to reduce the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and DPN in the kingdom.

The accessibility of oral health care services is one of the determinants of oral health in Saudi Arabia, very little is known about the geographic distribution of dental health care services, or spatial dimensions related to dental service access (travel time, distance, etc.), especially within metropolitan areas. Therefore, this study used known community profile indicators to assess the geographic accessibility of existing dental services in the city of Al Madina, Saudi Arabia. Geographic coordinates were identified for 33 primary clinics and 48 private clinics. The Al Madina metropolitan area, containing 1,105,465 residents, was divided into 103 districts, in accordance with the 2010 population census. Clinic locations and the number of dentists at each clinic were integrated with the city’s population census data within each district, using a geographic information system. The city metropolitan area consisted of 103 neighborhoods with a total of 1,105,465 residents (715,980 Saudis and 389,485 non-Saudis). Thirty-three fixed public primary dental clinics and 48 private dental clinics were geocoded within the municipality. The city exhibited an overall practice-to-population ratio of one dental clinic per 13,647 residents. More clinics (55% public and 58% private) were located within 3 km of the city center. Notably, 8% of the population was located more than 10 km from the city center. A total of 37% of the city’s districts were identified as areas of relative need; these were primarily located in peripheral metropolitan areas. This study depicts a clear example of the inverse care law, where people living in outer metropolitan areas have less spatial access to dental care than those living in inner metropolitan areas.

Background Migraine is a major public health issue that leads to frequent visits to medical care. It is generally considered a disabling disease among individuals below the age of 50 years old predominantly seen in females. Migraine headache has a strong influence on disability, functional impairments, and psychological effects. The majority of the physicians fail to address the degree and extent of impediment caused by a migraine, which contributes to low quality of life and disability. Thus, this study aims to assess the health-related quality of life (QOL) and disability among migraine sufferers in AlAhsa, Saudi Arabia. Material and methods This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in the neurology clinics at King Fahad Hospital-Hofuf, AlAhsa, Saudi Arabia, from May to August 2021. The data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire. The migraine-specific quality of life questionnaire (MSQ), version 2.1, was used. MSQ is measured in three domains, including role function restrictive (RR), preventive (RP), and emotional function (EF). Disability related to migraine was assessed by the Migraine Disability Assessment Test (MIDAS). MIDAS classifies disability from no disability to severe disability. Two-tailed with an alpha level of 0.05 considering the significance of a p-value less than or equal to 0.05. The mean scores of QOL domains were compared by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and independent t-tests. Results A total of 101 out of 359 participants were identified to have a migraine. Eighty-two participants met the inclusion criteria, 75.6% were females. The age of the participants ranged from 18 to more than 45 years with a mean age of 36.4 ± 11.9 years old. The mean score of QOL in the restrictive, preventive, and emotional domains were 46.3% ± 21.5%, 52.1% ± 24.3%, and 61.5% ± 30.8%, respectively. More than half of the participants (57.3%) suffered from a severe disability caused by migraines as compared to 20.7% with a moderate disability. Low QOL scores were associated with females and a significant relationship was found between migraine-associated disability and patients' emotional function in QOL. Conclusion Clinicians should routinely evaluate disability related to migraine and QOL as a complementary approach to migraine patients to ensure that patients are receiving proper treatment and whether additional strategies are needed or not.

Aim The eye is a vital and extraordinarily perceptive part of the human body. A wide spectrum of possible outcomes from eye injuries, from temporary vision loss to permanent blindness. There is a lack of information about how to handle an eye injury. Education and raising awareness are the best way to prevent severe complications and eventual loss of vision. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate and assess general population knowledge and first aid practices regarding eye injuries in the Western Region of Saudi Arabia, focusing on the importance of early management. Methodology A cross-sectional questionnaire was administered among residents of western Saudi Arabia using a validated questionnaire. One thousand two hundred seventy-nine adults of both genders were randomly chosen to represent the sample. In December 2022, we used a web-based survey to gather our data. Result This study analyzed data from 1279 responses on the online platform. Results showed that good knowledge was significantly higher among females than males, those without a history of eye injury than their peers with injuries, and those with higher educational levels than those with lower educational levels. Additionally, good knowledge was predicted by the female gender (OR = 1.6, 95% CI, 1.3 to 2.1, p < 0.001). Conclusion The study found that public awareness of eye injury first aid was good in the western region. The role of physicians should be expanded and health education campaigns and social media are recommended to achieve the goal of reduction and limiting the most crucial damage to the most sensitive organ in the body.

Food safety is a critical problem that impacts everyone worldwide. Many countries around the world are becoming increasingly reliant on the availability and safety of their food supply. Despite growing public consciousness about food-related dangers, the growth in food poisoning cases implies that individuals continue to make food consumption, food storage, and food preparation decisions that are less than optimal from a health and safety standpoint. The aim of this study was to assess Saudi Arabia's households' knowledge and practices of food safety. A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess knowledge of food safety and practices among a group of households in Saudi Arabia. An online questionnaire using social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and WhatsApp), and emails communications were distributed. A total of 309 adults (age range 18-59 years) participated in the study. In general, there were no differences between regions regarding the knowledge of food safety. Additionally, most of the participants had good practices of food safety. The findings of our study show that the gender, age, and educational level are factors that have an impact on the knowledge of food safety among respondents. Regarding food safety practices, in general, the results show that the participants had good practices. Therefore, organizations should focus on educational programs, training, holding workshops and activities in public places such as malls, schools, and home visit to improve and increases food safety knowledge and practices.

Background: Higher education is one of the communities that has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused disruptions and jeopardized supervised internships. COVID-19 has challenged graduating students to find internship opportunities at health organizations during the summer of 2020. Objective: The purpose of this paper was to explore how COVID-19 impacted summer 2020 internship opportunities for graduating health sciences students in Saudi Arabia. Methods: This study is a secondary analysis of existing private data. The data set was extracted from the original data of health sciences students who were expected to do their internships during the summers of 2018, 2019, and 2020 to explore summer internship opportunities. Results: The method of data analysis was descriptive statistics. A total of 440 health sciences students and interns were expected to start their internships during the summers of 2018, 2019, and 2020. Summer internship offers decreased from more than 70% offers in 2018 and 2019 to less than 35% in 2020. Of those who received summer internship offers in summer 2020, the majority received offers from public health organizations (74.67%), while 25.33% received offers from private and other health organizations. Conclusion: The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on summer 2020 internship opportunities at health organizations has been profound in Saudi Arabia. Health organizations were influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic to offer summer internship opportunities for graduating students. This study contributes to understanding the present situation in attempting to predict the future impacts of pandemics with characteristics similar to COVID-19 on internships.

Health services for employees of this 500-bed tertiary care hospital include programs normally available to employees at hospitals in the United States. These programs include primary care, health promotion, health surveillance, and pre-employment health screening. The most pervasive influence on the health care provided is Islam. Saudi Arabia is a conservative Muslim country and all health care activities must be accomplished within the religious and cultural norms of the country. Communicable diseases endemic to this part of the world are of special concern in employee health. Special programs are in place for the prevention and control of tuberculosis, hepatitis B, brucellosis, ophthalmic chlamydia, malaria, and meningococcal disease.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a significant public health concern worldwide and many people continue to ignore their early warning symptoms. The present study assessed the level of knowledge about CKD the awareness of the risk factors and the awareness of the complications associated with CKD, among the general population of Jazan Province, Saudi Arabia. 440 residents of Jazan Province participated in an online cross-sectional survey during a seven-month period from November (2020) to July (2021). Data was collected using a validated 73-item self-report survey. More than half of the respondents were males (n = 286; 65%) with an age ranging from 18 to 59 years, and a mean age of 32.66 years (SD ± 10.83). A very low percentage of the sample (27.3%; 7.5%, 9.3%) demonstrated good knowledge, a high level of awareness of the risk factors, and a high level of awareness of the complications associated with CKD, respectively. Participants’ knowledge was significantly associated with being a student or being employed (Government/private employee) (χ2 = 29.90; p < 0.001), having completed graduate studies (χ2 = 63.86; p < 0.001), residing in urban areas (χ2 = 138.62; p < 0.001), belonging to the age group (18–39 years), and having no co-morbidities (χ2 = 24.55; p < 0.001). Positive and significant correlations were also noted between the knowledge score and the awareness of risk factor score (r = 0.42; p < 0.01), as well as the awareness of complications score (r = 0.25; p < 0.01). These findings warrant an urgent need for extensive CKD educational initiatives concentrating on improving the general knowledge and awareness of the public towards CKD.

Objective: Women living in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia including in the Eastern Province have a high prevalence of lifestyle-related conditions for which targeted health education strategies are needed. This study’s objective was to explore their self-reported health status and the congruence of their lifestyle-related health beliefs and practices to inform health education programme development. Methods: A cross section of community-living Saudi women ( N = 407) living in Dammam (the capital of the Eastern Province) was sampled from regional health centres. Participants completed an interview survey questionnaire about their health status and their lifestyle-related health beliefs and practices. Results: In all, 44% of participants reported having an average but not excellent health. This finding was at odds with their unequivocal, evidence-supported beliefs about the positive relationship between exercise, good nutrition, not smoking and manageable stress, with health (⩾97%). Despite these strong beliefs, participants reported suboptimal levels of exercise, nutritional choices, stress and sleep quality and quantity for maximal health and wellbeing. Conclusion: Studies are warranted to explore and explain marked discrepancy between the positive health beliefs and lifestyle-related health practices of Saudi women living in Dammam, and to design effective health promotion education programmes to address this gap. Improving Saudi women’s health by narrowing the lifestyle-related health belief–practice gap may also maximise the health of families, given women’s pivotal role in managing the family, as well as individual health.

Abstract Background Annually, approximately 10 million Umrah pilgrims travel to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for Umrah from more than 180 countries. This event presents major challenges for the Kingdom’s public health sector, which strives to decrease the burden of infectious diseases and to adequately control its spread. Aims of the study The aims of the study were to assess the experiences of preventive measures practice, including vaccination history and health education, among Umrah pilgrims in Saudi Arabia. Methods A cross sectional survey administered to a randomly selected group of pilgrims by the research team members from February to the end of April 2019 at the departure lounge at King Abdul Aziz International airport, Jeddah city. The questionnaire was comprised of questions on the following factors: sociodemographic information, level of education, history of vaccinations and chronic illnesses, whether the pilgrim has received any health education and orientation prior to coming Saudi Arabia or on their arrival, and their experiences with preventive medicine. Results Pilgrims (n=1012) of 48 nationalities completed the survey and were reported in this study. Chronic diseases (n=230) were reported among pilgrims, with hypertension being the most reported morbidity (n=124, 53.9%). The majority of pilgrims had taken immunization prior to travel to Saudi Arabia, and the most commonly reported immunizations were meningitis (n=567, 56%), influenza (n=460, 45.5%), and Hepatitis B virus vaccinations (n=324, 32%); however, 223(22%) had not received any vaccinations prior to travel, including meningitis vaccine, which is mandatory in Saudi Arabia. 305 pilgrims (30.1%) had reported never using face masks in crowded areas; however, 63.2% reported lack of availability of these masks. The majority of participants had received health education on preventive measures, including hygienic aspects (n=799, 78.9%) mostly in their home countries (n=450, 56.3%). A positive association was found between receiving health education and practicing of preventive measures, such as wearing masks in crowded areas (P= 0.04) and other health practice scores (P= 0.02). Conclusion Although the experiences of the preventive measures among pilgrims in terms of health education, vaccinations, and hygienic practices were overall positive, this study identified several issues with the following preventive measures: immunizations particularly meningitis vaccine and using face masks in crowded areas. Further studies are required to develop a health education module to promote comprehensive preventive measures for pilgrims.

Colorectal cancer incidence has increased significantly in Saudi Arabia in the last few years. Although protocols and guidelines for colorectal screening programs had been established to start at age 45, adherence to screening remains low. This review aims to identify the potential barriers to participating in the screening program among the public aged over forty-five in Saudi Arabia. A significant lack of awareness about colorectal cancer and screening programs had found among Saudi Arabia's public (SA). The acceptance rate significantly increased due to health care provider recommendations. Knowledge about colorectal cancer and screening program and outcome should be raised among the public through campaigns and physicians by training established for primary health care providers regarding screening programs recommendations.

Healthcare services in Saudi Arabia are provided free of charge to its citizens at the point of use. Recently, however, the government has realized that this model is unsustainable in the long run. Therefore, Saudi decision-makers are seeking to have a sustainable health system through the introduction of a contributory National Health Insurance that require making regular financial contributions from its members.This study aims to explore the people's willingness to pay for a National Health Insurance system in Saudi Arabia. The study also aims to understand the factors affecting their willingness or unwillingness to pay NHI, such as, their demographic and socio-economic characteristics, the type of their usual health care provider, and their satisfaction with the current healthcare services.A cross-sectional study design with Contingent Valuation (CV) technique was used to measure the value of National Health Insurance based on an individual's willingness to pay. The data were collected from 475 participants using an online survey via Google Forms between March 2021 and April 2021. Frequencies, logistic regression, and linear regression, were conducted to answer the research questions.The number of individuals who was willing to pay for NHI was higher than those who were not willing to pay (62.9, 95% CI = 58.4-67.3%) vs (37.1, 95% CI = 32.7-41.6%). A binomial test found this difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001). There was a significant association between the likelihood of paying for NHI and type of usual healthcare provider (OR = 3.129, 95% CI = 1.943-5.039, p < 0.001); as individuals using public health services were more likely to pay for NHI. Also, with satisfaction with health services (OR = 14.305, 95% CI = 3.240-63.153, p < 0.001), as individuals who were very satisfied with the healthcare services were more likely to pay for NHI. The median amount of money the people were willing to pay as a monthly contribution for NHI was 100 SAR (26.5 USD) with the average being 152 SAR (40 USD). There was a significant association between the maximum amount the participants were willing to pay and age, region, and education. Specifically, 30-39-year-olds were willing to pay more for NHI compared to participants aged 50 or older (ß = 103.55, 95% CI = 26.27- 199.29); participants from central region more than participants from northern region (ß = 70.71,95% CI = 2.14- 138.58); and participants with masters degree more than participants with PhDs (ß = 227.46, 95% CI = 81.59- 399.28).This study provided some evidence that more people were willing to pay for NHI than those who declined. Individuals who frequently used public health services and were very satisfied with these services were more willing to pay for NHI. Younger population, those with master's degree, and from the central region were willing to pay more amount of money for NHI. These results could help policy makers shape their decisions and anticipate problems that may arise with NHI implementation.

Abstract Childbirth is the most significant interaction between pregnant women and the health system. Women's satisfaction during the birthing process is an essential indicator of care quality because satisfaction reflects the gaps between expected and actual care and services. In‐depth studies of women's birthing experiences and maternity services provided in public and private sectors in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are needed to improve the health system. Such studies are particularly critical because ongoing privatization policies continue to change Saudi Arabia's approach to childbirth. This qualitative study drew on 78 semistructured interviews to better understand the key themes that arose regarding women's satisfaction with their birthing experiences. The study compared women's birthing experiences in public and private sections of two selected National Guard hospitals in Saudi Arabia. The findings yielded three major themes as follows: Hospitals, Doctors, and Nurses . Overall, women in the public sections of hospitals were less satisfied with their quality care due to a lack of privacy, and the respondents reported receiving mediocre attention from nurses when compared with that received by women in private sections. The study's findings stand to inform policymakers about the current situation of the Saudi Arabian health‐care system and the services rendered. Thus, leaders implementing strategic plans should pay careful attention to the three revealed themes to create better care quality and increase women's satisfaction during privatization.

The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged and overwhelmed the status quo in every human sphere, including the conventional surveillance of infectious diseases, contact tracing, isolation, reporting and vaccination while simultaneously protecting the privacy of personal data.
The pandemic had led national governments, institutions and agencies to adopt mobile applications for collecting, analysing, managing and sharing critical personal data of individuals infected with or exposed to COVID-19. These data may be centralized at a central database, or localized in individuals’ phones. While the benefits of sharing private information for achieving public health needs may not be disputed, the risk of breach of personal privacy is, also, enormous.
Consequently, it forced the national governments into a dilemma of either succumbing to public health needs, or strictly respecting and protecting the privacy of individuals, or balancing the two conflicting demands. There is a massive body of literature on the security and privacy of such mobile applications, but none has adequately explored and discussed the public interest justifications under the Saudi Arabian laws for the alleged privacy breaches.
This paper explored the COVID-19 surveillance mobile app technologies in use in Saudi Arabia for their potential risks of data breaches under the prevailing data protection laws and regulations with a view to understanding if such breaches are obligated, allowed, or justified under the laws. Our findings suggest that any potential risk of a breach to the individuals’ privacy of personal information under the law would seem to have been properly balanced against (justified by) the public health needs to protect the society during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has negatively affected many aspects of daily life. In Saudi Arabia, many studies, using a range of assessment approaches, have examined how the pandemic has affected the mental health of both the general public and healthcare workers. However, to develop effective public-health initiatives for such crisis events, it would also be relevant to determine the pandemic’s impact on the behavioral, emotional, and social lives of Saudi children. Objective To assess, among Saudi children aged 3-15 years, the behavioral, emotional, and social changes that have occurred in their daily lives due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and methods This study featured a cross-sectional design. Potential participants were approached through the most popular social media in Saudi Arabia, and the final sample size was 651 parents. As, at the time of data collection, the members of the Saudi public were requested to avoid face-to-face meetings where possible, a well-designed electronic questionnaire featuring closed-ended questions was used. Results Descriptive statistics showed that the mean age of the parents was 29±7 years (range: 20-60 years); over half (58%) were female. During the COVID-19 outbreak, one-third of children had asked to sleep in their parents’ beds. Furthermore, approximately 30% of children demonstrated increased irritability and mood swings when compared with the period before the pandemic. Concerning adaptive social behaviors, during the pandemic, 22% of children appeared calmer and 14% of children seemed more thoughtful. Our study reports more screen time, less physical activity, and reduced sleep time among children compared with the pre-pandemic period. Conclusion The COVID-19 pandemic has psychologically affected children. The present results highlight the need to reduce this psychological burden by enhancing children’s emotional resilience and involving parents in health-promotion programs aimed at mitigating the negative impacts of such public-health crises.

Human monkeypox is an infectious zoonotic disease and since May 2022, there has been a spike in cases worldwide. In this regard, a global health emergency has been declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) on July 23rd, 2022. Although there have been no confirmed human monkeypox cases in Nepal yet, the nation is undeniably at risk of an outbreak. Despite all preventive efforts and preparedness for monkeypox, there still remain several challenges including the literacy and knowledge of our healthcare workers regarding monkeypox. The aim of this study was to assess the level of knowledge and attitude of Nepalese healthcare workers regarding monkeypox. A cross-sectional study was performed on different healthcare workers at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital on the month of October 2022 using a set of validated questionnaires used previously in a Saudi Arabian study. An in-person survey was conducted where a total of 220 questionnaires were distributed. The response rate was 93%. Knowledge was categorized into high or low based on the mean knowledge score. The attitude was assessed using a 3-point Likert scale. The association of the knowledge and attitude of the respondents in accordance with their socio-demographics was statistically evaluated using Pearson’s Chi-square test. The mean knowledge score was 13. A larger proportion of the respondents (60.4%) demonstrated a high knowledge and 51.1% demonstrated a positive attitude. Studying monkeypox during medical education possessed a significant difference in the attitude ( p = 0.025). Knowledge did not vary based on socio-demographic characteristics. Despite almost half a year into the monkeypox outbreak, Nepalese healthcare workers still have an unsatisfying degree of knowledge and a negative attitude regarding its control which shows the need for education and awareness.

A cross-sectional study of diarrhoea in the under-fives was carried out in a semiurban community in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. The aim was to estimate the point and period prevalence and to examine some factors possibly related to the prevalence of diarrhoea. The point and period prevalence of diarrhoea were found to be 5.4% and 12.5% respectively. The presence of diarrhoea was significantly associated with age of child and the type of feeding in children below one year. Factors such as parental age and education and the number of children under five in the household were also found to be significantly associated with diarrhoea. For prevention of diarrhoea the authors recommend the establishment of 'under-fives' clinics and health education programmes to educate mothers on diarrhoea.

Introduction: Vaccination provides health and economic benefits to the individual and to society. In Saudi Arabia, public support for immunisation programmes is generally high and well received. However, the benefits of vaccines are often not fully known or appreciated. When public discussion on vaccine safety, quality or efficacy occurs, very often misinformation creeps into the debate through the internet and other media sources, significantly weakening immunisation programmes. Vaccine hesitancy is a concept frequently used in the discourse around vaccine acceptance. This study reflects on the factors associated with vaccine hesitancy, through a study focusing on knowledge, attitudes and beliefs among parents of young children. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in seven primary schools in Makkah city, Saud Arabia. Data were collected in 2017 through a computer based-survey administered to 100 parents with children aged between 2 months and 17 years of age. Questionnaire responses were analysed using Minitab. Results: Many parents (with a total of 292 children) agreed on the importance of vaccinations, to protect their children’s health and to prevent the spread of diseases in the community. Most parents (68.7%, P < 0.05) reported their child had received all recommended vaccines. Approximately one third (31.3%, P < 0.05) of parents indicated their hesitation in having their child vaccinated. The lack of vaccines in primary care centres, fear of adverse events and vaccine safety were the reasons most frequently mentioned by these vaccine-hesitant parents. In addition, some parents believed vaccines had become a business and that profits were more important than their children’s safety. Other parents complained about the increasingly “crowded” vaccination schedules. A minority of parents believe that vaccines did not prevent the spread of disease in the community (P < 0.05). Discussion and Conclusions: Vaccine hesitancy is a common problem in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Further research will be needed to better understand when, how and why these beliefs are formed.

Background. Lack of knowledge about appropriate handwashing practices has caused great concerns for human health, especially in the risk of many communicable diseases. The objective of the current study is to determine the level of handwashing knowledge, attitudes, and practices among school students in Eastern Province Schools, Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional survey was recruited from November 2019 to March 2020 to assess the level of the students’ handwashing knowledge. A reliable questionnaire was prepared (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.608) and conducted using a two-stage sampling technique. A total of 271 students participated in the study from primary, middle, and high schools; 80% were boys, most of whom displayed an acceptable level of knowledge on hand hygiene. Nearly 75% and 74% of boys and girls, respectively, gained knowledge about hand hygiene practices from their parents. Only 46% of the students thought that handwashing is a potential protective measure against diseases, whereas 34% thought it only removes dirt. Prevalence of handwashing with soap after using the toilet was recognized among 52% of the students. Additionally, 93% of the students used water and soap to wash their hands ( <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"> <mi>p</mi> </math> value < 0.001) and 97% suggested that soap and water are the best methods to wash their hands ( <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M2"> <mi>p</mi> </math> value < 0.001). There was a positive correlation between the mother’s education and hand hygiene practices ( <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M3"> <mi>p</mi> </math> value = 0.044). Results collectively indicated that handwashing knowledge and practices among school students in the Eastern Province are acceptable interventions in preventing the transmission of infectious diseases such as COVID-19. Indeed, further improvement conducted through specific health education programs to emphasize the role of handwashing in health hygiene is highly recommended.

To assess the public health risk to Singapore posed by the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) outbreak in the Republic of Korea in 2015.The likelihood of importation of MERS cases and the magnitude of the public health impact in Singapore were assessed to determine overall risk. Literature on the epidemiology and contextual factors associated with MERS coronavirus infection was collected and reviewed. Connectivity between the Republic of Korea and Singapore was analysed. Public health measures implemented by the two countries were reviewed.The epidemiology of the 2015 MERS outbreak in the Republic of Korea remained similar to the MERS outbreaks in Saudi Arabia. In addition, strong infection control and response measures were effective in controlling the outbreak. In view of the air traffic between Singapore and MERS-affected areas, importation of MERS cases into Singapore is possible. Nonetheless, the risk of a serious public health impact to Singapore in the event of an imported case of MERS would be mitigated by its strong health-care system and established infection control practices.The MERS outbreak was sparked by an exported case from the Middle East, which remains a concern as the reservoir of infection (thought to be camels) continues to exist in the Middle East, and sporadic cases in the community and outbreaks in health-care settings continue to occur there. This risk assessment highlights the need for Singapore to stay vigilant and to continue enhancing core public health capacities to detect and respond to MERS coronavirus.

Background: Sedentary behavior has received increased attention as a threat to public health all around the world. A global effort has been made to avoid the spread of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) that are associated with poor lifestyle practices, which rely on public awareness. As a result, the purpose of this study was to analyze the attitudes toward exercise, leisure activities, and sedentary behaviour among adults in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among individuals living in the Riyadh Region in Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire (26 items) used in this study was divided into four sections, and the first section comprised demographic and basic information of the respondents (6 items). The second section asked the respondents about the time spent exercising and sedentary time spent (6 items), the third section of the study comprised eight questionnaires about the frequency of sedentary activity performed during their leisure time, and the last section was about the attitude towards sedentary behavior (6 items). Descriptive and analytical statistics were done to describe the study findings. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 27. Results: The current findings revealed that 44% (n = 305) of the respondents performed exercise 1–2 days a week, and 16.7% (n = 116) never performed any exercise. Furthermore, a considerable percentage of the respondents spent >4 h in a day as sedentary. Most of the sedentary time was spent on work relating activities 62% (n = 430), followed by time spent on coffee 36.4% (n = 252), business relating activity 22.5% (n = 156), and social media 8.9% (n = 62). In this study, most of the respondents agreed that sitting for a prolonged time might negatively impact their health. Most of the respondents showed positive attitudes towards sedentary behavior. Males were statistically more likely than females to exercise 1–2 days per week (p < 0.001). Being male and being married were both significantly associated with sedentary behavior (p < 0.001). In addition, there was a significant association between participants’ sleeping status and physical activity per week, where those who slept 5–6 h often performed physical activity, indicating a significant difference (p < 0.001) than respondents who slept 7–8 or >8 h. The participant’s age was also found to have a significant association with engaging in physical exercise (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The results of this study showed that Saudi adults are highly sedentary and inactive, though knowing the harmful consequences of inactivity. Therefore, a national active living policy must be adopted to discourage inactivity and being sedentary and encourage active living in Saudi Arabia.

We evaluated the influence of lifestyle patterns such as watching TV, working with computer and idle sitting time on perceptions of obesity and beliefs about overweight are associated with obesity and overweight amongst Expatriates in Abha.The method used in this study was a cross-sectional survey with a self-administered paper-based questionnaire. The survey collected information on lifestyle choices and the risk factors that contribute to obesity. In addition, height and weight were measured.Greater number of our study subjects spent over 2 h/day without any physical activity, specifically accounting for over 2 h/day each in viewing TV, computer, and spending idle time. This increased lack of physical activities was significantly associated with overweight. While the overweight subjects were aware of very wide options for treating their condition, a significant number believed in self-effort in managing their diet and exercise regimen as the best efforts to reduce their overweight. Interestingly very few overweight subjects considered medication or surgery as a potential therapeutic option and 75% of the overweight subjects considered overweight to be of no or only slight concern on wellbeing.Overweight and obesity among expatriates within Saudi Arabia poses an important public health problem. The lack of awareness about the potential impact of obesity on health and optimal treatment options is a serious concern, which needs to be addressed by appropriate public health programs at national level.

This study aimed to describe the current use and knowledge about fluoride toothpaste and children's oral hygiene habits among parents of Saudi children.In this cross-sectional study, the parents of children aged 7-12 years who visited the undergraduate pediatric dental clinics at the College of Dentistry in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia were interviewed. The interview included questions to assess the parents' level of fluoride knowledge, the dental appearance of their children, and any general dental health concerns and practices.A total of 463 parents (women 55.5%, men 44.5%) were included. Over half (60.3%) of the participants reported that they were unhappy with the appearance of their child's teeth. Only 11.5% received high fluoride knowledge scores. The additive index for the level of fluoride knowledge was significantly lower among mothers than among fathers. The majority of the parents were not able to correctly report whether the toothpaste their children used contained fluoride. Furthermore, the majority of the respondents were unaware of the benefits of fluoride in preventing dental caries.There is a need to enhance parental knowledge regarding high fluoride intake and its harmful consequences on children's health. Both mothers and fathers should have higher levels of awareness regarding oral health promotion to maintain optimal oral health in their children.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) causes significant morbidity and mortality. International studies have suggested poor public awareness of VTE, with a few data from Saudi Arabia. The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge and awareness of VTE in the Saudi population. Awareness of other important diseases was also investigated to allow contextualization.A cross-sectional survey study was conducted throughout Saudi Arabia from April to June 2021. A nonprobability, purposive, social media-driven, snowballing sampling technique was used to distribute a validated online questionnaire to Saudi adults (aged over 18 years) from the general population.Of 1226 respondents, 214 were excluded as they were health-care professionals. The majority of the participants were unaware and unconcerned about VTE. They were more aware of other medical conditions such as hypertension. Immobility and old age were frequently recognized as risk factors for VTE. While less than half of the participants were aware that thrombosis is the cause of VTE, most participants correctly identified leg pain and tenderness as symptoms of deep venous thrombosis. The majority of the participants identified chest pain and breathlessness as symptoms of pulmonary embolism. However, leg paralysis and slow, shallow breathing were frequently identified as symptoms of VTE. The majority of subjects disagreed with the statement, "having a blood clot is not considered a medical emergency." Awareness of VTE varied significantly with age.In Saudi Arabia, the public awareness of VTE is poor. To improve outcomes, public health initiatives must increase awareness, introduce preventive measures, encourage early diagnosis, and ensure compliance with treatment.

Objective: Brucellosis is an endemic zoonotic infection in Saudi Arabia, including Jazan Province, and epidemiological reports about this disease are limited. In this study, we aimed to investigate knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding brucellosis among the general population of Jazan Province, southwestern Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted using a pretested questionnaire that assessed the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward Brucellosis. The calculated sample size was 384, and 1,055 participants were included representing various genders, ages, and levels of education. Data were collected between March and April 2022 and analyzed using descriptive, chi-square, and t-test analyses. Results: Only 50% of the included participants have heard about Brucellosis. Among those who had heard about Brucellosis, 70% had a good knowledge about Brucellosis and that was significantly associated with male gender, being healthcare workers (HCWs), and having a higher level of education. Participants who directly involved in animal care represented 9%, and attitudes and practices regarding brucellosis were varied from average to unsatisfactory. This variation was significantly affected by the level of knowledge. Conclusion: About 50% of the general population of Jazan Province had never heard about Brucellosis, in a region found prevalent for this disease. Good knowledge was recorded in 70% of those who were aware of Brucellosis, which was significantly associated with the male sex, job as being HCW, and having a higher level of education. These results necessitate public awareness campaign activities to improve knowledge and practices, especially among women, the younger generation, and individuals with limited educational backgrounds. This action could reduce the burden of the disease.

Abstract Background : To reduce the spread of COVID-19, physical distancing and hand washing has been widely promoted. However, more work is needed to understand the predictors of compliance with such health behaviors, such as fear of COVID-19. Methods : The Fear of COVID-19 Scale was administered to a sample of 1,029 Saudi participants recruited for an online survey. Analyses explored associations between fear of COVID-19 with demographic variables, frequency of physical distancing and hand washing, as well as perceived seriousness of COVID-19, and knowledge of recommended health behaviors and government restrictions. Results : Frequency of physical distancing and hand washing was overall very high. Fear of COVID-19 did not predict health behaviors. Knowledge of government restrictions predicted both physical distancing and hand washing, while perceived seriousness of COVID-19 also had a weak association with hand washing. Conclusion : Pandemic-related health behaviors such as physical distancing and hand washing do not appear to be motivated by fear in the present sample from Saudi Arabia. Interventions aimed at increasing compliance with recommended health behaviors thus benefit more from provision of relevant information.

The King Abdel Aziz Camel Festival in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, aims to showcase the socio-cultural and economic roles of camels in the Middle East, and attracts visitors from many countries in the Region.Potentially, the gathering of large numbers of people and animals within a specified geographical area during the annual festival has important implications for public safety, health security and legacy. Thus, the Ministry of Health through the Global Center for Mass Gathering Medicine, Saudi Arabia, conducted a health risk assessment for the 2017 Camel Festival. This paper summarizes the risk assessment process and highlights the findings and recommendations of the risk assessment.Using an all-hazard approach, the Jeddah tool (derived from the World Health Organization Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office's health emergency risk assessment tool) was adapted to conduct the risk assessment. The tool stipulates that risk is directly proportional to the product of hazard magnitude and vulnerability and inversely related to capacity.External causes of morbidity and mortality, such as fires and road traffic accidents, were categorized as high risk hazards. In contrast, brucellosis, foodborne diseases and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome were ranked moderate risk hazards. Rift Valley fever was ranked low risk hazard.The camel festival risk assessment highlights the need for an all-hazard approach to mass gatherings risk assessment. There is a need for multi-sectorial collaboration to strengthen the existing capacity, including disease surveillance.تقدير المخاطر الصحية في التجمعات الجماهيرية: تقرير عن مهرجان الإبل في المملكة العربية السعودية.كنجسلي بيه، أحمد الجنايني، صابر يزلي، مأمون مالك، هاني جوخدار، عبد الله عسيري، بدرية. العتيبي.يهدف مهرجان الملك عبد العزيز للإبل في الرياض إلى إبراز الأدوار الثقافية الاجتماعية والاقتصادية للإبل في الشرق الأوسط، ويجذب هذا المهرجان زواراً من كثير من بلدان الإقليم.من المحتمل أن يُسفر تجمع أعداد كبيرة من الناس والحيوانات داخل منطقة جغرافية مُدَّدة خلال المهرجان السنوي عن آثار مهمة على السلامة العامة والأمن الصحي والإرث. ولذلك أجرت وزارة الصحة، من خلال المركز العالمي لطب الحشود بالمملكة العربية السعودية، تقديراً للمخاطر الصحية في مهرجان الإبل لعام 2017. وتلخص هذه الورقة البحثية عملية تقدير المخاطر، وتسلط الضوء على نتائج وتوصيات تقدير المخاطر.باستخدام نهج يراعي جميع المخاطر، جرى تكييف أداة جدة (المستمدة من أداة تقدير مخاطر الطوارئ الصحية الخاصة بالمكتب الإقليمي لمنظمة الصحة العالمية لشرق المتوسط) لإجراء تقدير للمخاطر. وتشترط هذه الأداة أن يتناسب الخطر تناسباً طردياً مع حجم الخطورة الناتجة وقابلية التأثر بها، وتناسباً عكسياً مع القدرة.صُنِّفت الأسباب الخارجية للمراضة والوفيات، مثل الحرائق وحوادث المرور على الطرق، على أنها مخاطر شديدة الخطورة. وفي المقابل، صُنِّف داء البروسيلات والأمراض المنقولة بالأغذية ومتلازمة الشرق الأوسط التنفسية على أنها مخاطر متوسطة الخطورة. وصُنِّفت حمى الوادي المتصدع على أنها من المخاطر القليلة الخطورة.يُبرز تقدير مخاطر مهرجان الإبل ضرورة اتباع نهج يراعي جميع المخاطر عند تقدير مخاطر التجمعات الجماهيرية. ولا بد من التعاون بين شتى القطاعات لتعزيز القدرات الحالية، بما في ذلك ترصد الأمراض.Évaluation des risques sanitaires lors de rassemblements de masse : compte rendu du festival du chameau en Arabie saoudite.À Riyad, le festival du chameau du Roi Abdel Aziz a pour but de montrer les rôles socio-culturels et économiques de cet animal au Moyen-Orient. Cet événement attire des visiteurs de nombreux pays de la Région.Potentiellement, le rassemblement d’un grand nombre de visiteurs et d’animaux dans une zone géographique circonscrite, à l’occasion du festival annuel, a des implications majeures en termes de sécurité publique et de sécurité sanitaire et peut avoir d’importantes répercussions sur le plan de la santé. Ainsi, le ministère de la Santé, par l’intermédiaire du Centre mondial pour la médecine des rassemblements de masse, fondé en Arabie saoudite, a effectué une évaluation des risques sanitaires à l’occasion de l’édition 2017 du festival du chameau. Le présent article résume le processus d’évaluation des risques et met en exergue les conclusions et les recommandations de l’évaluation.Sur la base d’une approche multirisque, l’outil de Jeddah (reprenant l’outil d’évaluation des risques pour la santé élaboré par le Bureau régional de l’Organisation mondiale de la Santé pour la Méditerranée orientale) a été adapté pour mener l’évaluation des risques. Cet outil stipule que le risque est directement proportionnel au produit de l’ampleur des risques et de la vulnérabilité et inversement proportionnel à la capacité de prise en charge.Les causes externes de morbidité et de mortalité, telles que les incendies et les accidents de la circulation routière, ont été classées parmi les risques élevés. À l’inverse, la brucellose, les maladies d’origine alimentaire et le syndrome respiratoire du Moyen-Orient figuraient parmi les risques modérés. La fièvre de la vallée du Rift constituait un risque faible.L’évaluation des risques effectuée dans le cadre du festival du chameau met en évidence la nécessité de s’appuyer sur une approche multirisques afin d’évaluer les risques liés aux rassemblements de masse. Une collaboration multisectorielle est nécessaire afin de renforcer les capacités existantes, notamment en matière de surveillance des maladies.

Background: Hajj pilgrimage, in Saudi Arabia, is one of the world's largest religious mass gatherings. We have similar mass gathering scenarios in India such as the Amarnath Yatra and Kumbh. A unique combination of physical, physiological, and psychological factors makes this pilgrimage a very stressful milieu. We studied the emergence of psychopathology and its determinants, in this adverse environment in mass gathering situation, in Indian pilgrims on Hajj 2016. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive study analyzing the mental morbidity in 1.36 lakh Indian pilgrims during Hajj 2016, using SPSS software version 19. Results: Totally 182 patients reported psychological problems. Twenty-two patients (12%) required admission. Twelve (6.8%) pilgrims reported a past history of a mental illness. One hundred and sixty-five (93.2%) patients never had any mental symptoms earlier in life. The most common illnesses seen were stress related (45.7%) followed by psychosis (9.8%), insomnia (7.3%), and mood disorders (5.6%). The most common symptoms recorded were apprehension (45%), sleep (55%), anxiety (41%), and fear of being lost (27%). Psychotropics were prescribed for 46% of pilgrims. All patients completed their Hajj successfully and returned to India. Conclusions: Cumulative stress causes full spectrum of mental decompensation, and prompt healing is aided by simple nonpharmacological measures including social support and counseling in compatible sociolinguistic milieu.

Introduction Few studies have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of healthcare workers (HCWs) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). We estimated the prevalence and severity of psychological distress and characterized predisposing risk factors among HCWs in KSA during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional online survey of 1,985 HCWs from 6 hospitals across the country designated with caring for COVID-19 patients between April 16 and June 21, 2020. Our data analysis was performed using logistic regressions. Ordered logistic regressions were also performed using forward stepwise model selection to explore the effects of risk factors on psychological distress. Results The prevalence of psychological distress reported by HCWs in KSA was high, ranging from mild-moderate to severe in severity. Younger HCWs, women, those in contact with COVID-19 patients, and those who either had loved ones affected or who were themselves affected by COVID-19 were the most at-risk of psychological distress. Risk factors such as insomnia, loneliness, fear of transmission, and separation from loved ones most significantly predicted elevated levels of distress among HCWs. Conclusions Increasing psychological distress was commonly reported by HCWs during the early months of COVID-19 pandemic in KSA. Public health policy makers and mental health professionals must give special attention to risk factors that predispose HCWs in KSA to psychological distress.

Food and water-borne diseases (FWBDs) are a health risk at the Hajj mass gathering. The current study documented the prevalence and management of gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms among pilgrims during the 2019 Hajj and assessed their knowledge and practice concerning food and water safety.An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in Macca, Saudi Arabia, among adult Hajj pilgrims from 28 countries. Data was collected from 15th-20th August 2019 by facer-to-face interviews using an anonymous structured questionnaire. Basic demographic data as well as information regarding pilgrims' knowledge and practice relating to food and water safety and any GI symptoms experienced during the Hajj was collected and analyzed.The study enrolled 1363 pilgrims with a mean age of 50.1 years (SD = 12.3) and 63.4% (n = 845) were male. At least 9.7% (n = 133) of pilgrims experience GI symptoms and 5.1% (69/1363) suffered diarrhea. Most respondents drunk bottled water (99.4%, n = 1324) and obtained their food from their hotel /Hajj mission (> 86%). In general, pilgrims had good knowledge and practice in relation to food and water safety, although risky practices were noted concerning keeping food at unsafe temperatures and hazardous sharing of food and water. Gender, nationality and suffering GI symptoms during Hajj were significantly associated with good knowledge and good practice. There was a moderate but statistically significant positive correlation between knowledge and practice scores (rs = 0.41, p < 0.0001).Despite overall good knowledge and self-reported practice, risky behaviors relating to food and water safety were identified among pilgrims, many of whom suffered from GI symptoms during Hajj. Our results can form the basis for developing tailored, targeted and effective interventions to improve pilgrims' knowledge and behavior and reduce the burden of FWBDs at the Hajj and beyond.

Background The relationship between physical activity and mental health, especially the symptoms of major depressive disorder (MDD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), has received increasing attention in recent years. Objective The aim of this study was to explore the association between fulfilling the World Health Organization (WHO) global recommendations on physical activity and the risk and symptoms of MDD and GAD in the Saudi population. Methods This study was a secondary analysis of data from a large nationwide cross-sectional survey conducted via phone interviews in June and July 2020. In this study, a proportional quota sampling technique was used to obtain an equal distribution of participants, stratified by age and gender, across the 13 regions of Saudi Arabia. The main mental health screening tool used for the risk of MDD was the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Risk of GAD was measured using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) scale. Participants self-reported whether they fulfill the WHO global recommendations on (1) moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity (MIPA) and (2) vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity (VIPA). The results were then analyzed based on the following two categories: fulfilling the WHO global recommendations or not. Results The data analysis included 8333 participants recruited in the main study between June and July 2020. The response rate was 81.45% (8333/10,231). Of them, 50.3% (4192/8333) were female, and the mean age was 36.5 years, with a median age of 36 years and a range from 18 to 90 years. The average total PHQ-9 score was 5.61, and the average total GAD-7 score was 4.18. For men, the average total PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores were associated with fulfilling recommendations for MIPA; however, there were no associations for VIPA in both sexes. Fulfilling the WHO’s recommendations for MIPA was associated with considerably fewer depressive symptoms in six of the nine items in the PHQ-9. Moreover, fulfilling recommendations for MIPA was associated with considerably fewer anxiety symptoms in six of the seven items in the GAD-7. However, fulfilling recommendations for VIPA was significantly associated with more depressive symptoms in one of the PHQ-9 items (“Thoughts that you would be better off dead or thoughts of hurting yourself in some way;” P<.001). Conclusions This study has shown that fulfilling guidelines on MIPA is associated with less overall risk of MDD and GAD in males and fewer depressive and anxiety symptoms generally in a nonclinical population. In the general population, an increase in MIPA may improve well-being and general mental health.

Abstract Background: Pharmaceutical care services in Saudi Arabia recently transferred from Ministry of Health (MOH) primary healthcare centers (PHCs) to community pharmacies (Wasfaty service). However, there is a lack of research on the need and impact of this transition. This study explored the Saudi community’s perception toward the transition of pharmaceutical care service from MOH PHCs to the Wasfaty service. Community needs and expectations from the Wasfaty service were assessed, and its experience, concerns, and limitations were evaluated. Methods: Qualitative, in-depth, semistructured interviews of Saudi community members who visited community pharmacies with electronic prescriptions from MOH primary healthcare clinics were conducted. The data obtained from 18 participants were thematically organized and analyzed using NVivo software. Results: Seven themes related to the new Wasfaty service were identified and divided into three categories: perception toward the transition in pharmaceutical care, experience of the Wasfaty service, and concerns about and limitations of the Wasfaty service. The Saudi community was generally satisfied with the new Wasfaty service and highlighted its benefits: easier access, time flexibility, and less crowded community pharmacies. In addition, the Wasfaty service provided them with better communication with pharmacists, better education about their medications, better availability of medications, better control over medication dispensing, and easier refills compared to primary healthcare pharmacies. However, the community complained about the lack of privacy in community pharmacies, the number and location of community pharmacies having the Wasfaty service, a few technical issues, a lack of female pharmacists, few Saudi pharmacists, a lack of labels on medications, and limited or no instructions about medication storage. Conclusion: The Saudi community needs the transition from MOH PHCs to the Wasfaty service in pharmaceutical care. The community also has concerns about this transition and the limitations of the Wasfaty service.

(1) Background: Understanding oral health needs and barriers is important to overcome the oral disease burden, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study was to assess oral health needs and barriers among Saudi children after the COVID-19 pandemic wave started. (2) Methods: Parents of healthy children aged 3–11 years from five regions of Saudi Arabia were surveyed using an electronically administered validated questionnaire from Febuary-2021 to July-2021. Oral lesions/manifestations during the last 12 months reported by parents included tooth discoloration, ulcers, abscess, swelling of the gingiva, halitosis, gingival bleeding, dry mouth, pain while eating, difficulty in speaking or eating, burning sensation, and white spots. Barriers were assessed according to the WHO Oral Health Questionnaire. (3) Results: Children experiencing toothaches were reported by 1098 (72.4%) respondents. When reported, oral manifestations and lesions were associated with a higher inability to visit a dentist (p < 0.001). Barriers to dental care were more frequent among parents with lower education (p < 0.001; adjusted-odds ratio (AOR), 1.815) and a greater number of children (p < 0.001; AOR, 1.197). (4) Conclusion: Parents reported a high frequency of unmet oral health needs. Education could play an important role in improving oral health care in children and as a predictor of public health concerns.

Abstract Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread to over 150 countries worldwide. Since the first case of COVID-19 was confirmed in Saudi Arabia, cases have continued to escalate exponentially. The COVID-19 outbreak has had a negative effect on mental health and well-being. The study aim was to investigate the effects of the strict national regulations associated with the COVID-19 pandemic on the population’s mental health. Methods This was a cross-sectional study of a convenience sample of Saudi residents. Participants completed an online questionnaire after 1 month of a nationwide 24-hour curfew. We measured psychological distress using the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). We ran binary logistic regression analyses to detect variables that significantly predicted DASS-21 scores. Results The sample comprised 2252 Saudi residents. The DASS-21 score means and standard deviations for depression and anxiety for the whole sample (10.73 ± 10.29 and 6.98 ± 8.30, respectively) were in the range of mild depression and anxiety. In contrast, the mean DASS-21 stress score was within the normal range (11.97 ± 10.80). The mean stress score for healthcare workers was within normal range (13.70 ± 10.68), but was significantly higher than the mean score for the public (11.56 ± 10.89; P = .0006). Several variables (e.g. age, gender and history of contact with confirmed COVID-19 cases) were significantly associated with higher DASS-21 scores. Conclusions The COVID-19 pandemic has created a psychological burden. Therefore, there is an urgent need to implement emergency psychological interventions to reduce the negative psychosocial effects of the pandemic on public mental health.

Anemia in pregnancy is common public health problem with poor outcome for both mother and child. This study, aimed to determine the prevalence of anemia and its associated factors among pregnant women in an urban community at the north of Saudi Arabia.A cross-sectional study was carried out among 390 pregnant attending for antenatal care in one of eight Primary Health Care (PHC) centers in Hail city, Saudi Arabia.Among participants, 133 (34.1%) were anemic (hemoglobin level < 11 g/dl). Out of which, 24.9% were mildly anemic, 9.2% were moderately anemic and none of the participant was found to be severely anemic. The prevalence of anemia increased significantly with low income (p = 0.026), bigger family size (p = 0.020), higher parity (p = 0.023), longer menstrual cycle > 5 days (p = 0.042), bleeding during pregnancy (p = 0.028), infrequent intake of meat (p = 0.020), the habit of drinking tea just after meals (p = 0.019), past history of anemia (p < 0.001), clinical anemia (pallor) (p < 0.001). On the other hand, increased BMI (p = 0.002) and frequent intake of food from restaurants (p = 0.008) were found to be negatively associated with anemia among pregnant women."In urban Hail region, Saudi Arabia, anemia among pregnant women was a moderate public health problem. Low income, bigger family size, higher parity, longer menstrual cycle > 5 days, bleeding during pregnancy, infrequent intake of meat, the habit of drinking tea just after meals, past history of anemia, and the sign of clinical anemia (pallor), were found to be significantly associated with anemia. These findings give insight to healthcare providers about the importance of early detection and management of anemia in early pregnancy. Further research utilizing prospective cohort design to study risk factors of anemia including rural areas, should be considered to support and extend the present study findings".

Abstract:In order to find out the most sensitive anthropometric measurement that will diagnose Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) in Nigerian pre-school children. Three hundred children between the ages of 12 and 60 months (100 each of Normal, PEM and other malnutrition) were measured for height, weight, upper-arm circumference, triceps skinfold and subscapular skinfold thickness. The results showed that Triceps skinfold is the most sensitive anthropometric indicator for diagnosis of PEM in the study population. This supports the hypothesis that energy deficiency may be a more predominant factor in the causation of PEM in Nigeria.

Owing to Saudi Arabia's high-income economy many Saudi families hire foreign housemaids. However, since the housemaids are potential carriers of intestinal parasites, hiring them increases the risk of transmission to the Saudi community. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections in foreign housemaids in northwestern Saudi Arabia. Using direct wet mount and concentration by flotation, the stool samples of 169 housemaids were examined, and eleven parasite species, six helminths and five protozoans, were detected. The overall prevalence of intestinal parasitic infection was 20.11% (34/169). Twelve cases were infected with one intestinal helminth, 12 were infected with one intestinal protozoan, and 10 had polyparasitism. The most common intestinal parasites were Cryptosporidium spp. (n = 10), hookworms (n = 7), and T. Trichiura (n = 7). The findings highlight that intestinal parasites present an important public health concern for foreign housemaids in Saudi Arabia. More vigilance is thus required, and periodic follow-up should be exercised throughout foreign housemaids' stay in the country.

Although the micronutrient status of a population is of high national priority, as it critically impacts public health, limited data is available for quantifying the micronutrient status in Saudi Arabia. We aimed to provide comprehensive, epidemiological, descriptive data regarding micronutrient levels in Saudi adults. This cross-sectional study included 3432 adults aged ≥18 years (mean age, 37.7 ± 11.7 years; women, 51.2%) across all 13 Saudi administrative regions (March 2019-November 2021). Laboratory data for 14 micronutrients (8 vitamins, 4 minerals, and 2 nonessential heavy metals) were characterized using descriptive analysis. Vitamin D deficiency (64.3%) was the most prevalent, followed by vitamin B2 (44.9%) and A (9.6%) deficiencies. Among minerals, iron deficiency was the most prevalent (23.2%), followed by zinc (15.3%) and copper (8.7%) deficiencies. Most Saudi adults exhibited normal arsenic (99.7%) and mercury (99.9%) levels. Men exhibited significantly higher vitamin B2, B9, and D deficiencies than women, while women exhibited higher vitamin A, B12, iron, and zinc deficiencies than men. Younger adults demonstrated a significantly higher prevalence of vitamin D and iron deficiencies, whereas older adults exhibited a higher prevalence of vitamin B1 and magnesium deficiencies. As micronutrient deficiencies are a public health concern, health policies and programs need to be developed and implemented to address them.

King Saud Medical City (KSMC) is a quaternary care center based in the center of the capital city, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), and it is one of the key Ministry of Health (MoH) facilities dedicated to the care of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients in the central region.A comprehensive surge plan was promptly launched in mid-March 2020 to address the pandemic, and it expanded in a phase-wise approach. Supporting the capacity of the infection prevention and control department (IPCD) was a main pillar of the surge plan. Task force infection control teams were formed to tackle the different aspects of pandemic containment processes. The challenges and measures undertaken by the IPC team are described here.Infection prevention and control staff are frontline responders in public health emergencies like COVID-19, and a solid infection prevention and control system in the healthcare setting supported by qualified and sufficient manpower, a well-developed multidisciplinary team approach, electronic infrastructure, and efficient supply utilization are required for effective crisis management.

The role of healthcare professionals in society is unique since they are providers of health information and medication counseling to patients. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate Knowledge of Risk Factors and Warning Signs of Stroke among undergraduate health care Students (UHCS) at King Saud University (KSU), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.An online cross-sectional study was conducted among UHCS at KSU, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from September to November 2022, using self-administered 34-item questionnaires divided into five sections to assess participants' knowledge of stroke risk factors, warning signs, and management and source of information about the stroke. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 26 was used to analyze the data (SPSS).Of the 300 questionnaires distributed, 205 students completed the questionnaires, giving a response rate of 68.3%. Of whom 63 (30.7%) were pharmacy, 81 (39.5%) were nursing and 61 (29.8%) were emergency medical services (EMS) Students. One hundred and eighty-two (88.8%) of the students agreed that stroke affects bodily movement. With regards to risk factors, students identified high blood pressure 182 (88.8%), followed by heart disease 175 (85.4%), advanced age 164 (80%), previous Stroke history 158(77.1%), and lack of physical activity 156 (76.1%). Difficulty in speaking or slurred speech 164 (80%), dizziness, and loss of balance 163 (79.5%) were identified as the warning signs of stroke. In this study, 41.3 % of the pharmacy students reported a good level of knowledge than nursing and EMS students. However, 32.2% (N = 66) of the healthcare undergraduates reported good knowledge. The knowledge score was significantly associated with the year of study, and educational degree (p = 0.0001). Furthermore, there were no differences between parents working in healthcare settings (p = 0.99).In conclusion, the knowledge of stroke among healthcare students at King Saud University varied. The reported knowledge gap mostly relates to stroke risk factors and warning signs. Therefore, increasing public awareness of potential risk factors and stroke warning signs needs to receive more attention.

The 21st century has seen several infectious disease outbreaks that have turned into epidemics and pandemics including Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) which began in Asia in 2003 (Poon, Guan, Nicholls, Yuen, & Peiris, 2004), followed by H1N1 that emerged in Mexico and the United States (US) in 2009 (Belongia et al., 2010). Next came the lesser known Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) originating in Saudi Arabia in 2012 (Assiri et al., 2013), after which the Ebola outbreak in West Africa took place from 2014–2016, with a more recent occurrence in the Democratic Republic of Congo from 2018–2019 (Malvy, McElroy, de Clerck, Günther, & van Griensven, 2019). To date, the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak that started in Wuhan, in the Hubei province of China, in late December 2019 seems to be eclipsing all of these previous infectious diseases in terms of its global reach and impact (Wang, Horby, Hayden, & Gao, 2020). After being declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a public health emergency on 30 January 2020 (World Health Organization, 2020c), it was elevated to a pandemic status on 11 March 2020 (World Health Organization, 2020d). As of 28 April 2020, there are more than 2.9 million cases and 202,597 deaths reported worldwide (World Health Organization, 2020b). Healthcare workers around the world, for example nurses, medical doctors and community healthcare workers are on the front lines caring for those infected (Zhang, Sun, Latour, Hu, & Qian, 2020), whereas epidemiologists, public health officials, and others work behind the scenes to control the spread of COVID-19 and protect population health. Scientists across many disciplines are also researching how to address the myriad problems that this disease has created and exacerbated, such as the shortage of personal protective equipment (Chughtai, Seale, Islam, Owais, & Macintyre, 2020), the need for more critical care facilities and expertise (Grasselli, Pesenti, & Cecconi, 2020), the development of therapeutics (Dhama et al., 2020) and new vaccines that could prevent the virus in the future (Anderson, Heesterbeek, Klinkenberg, & Hollingsworth, 2020). Nursing informaticians who use information technology to enhance nursing education, clinical practice and policy are collaborating with colleagues and contributing to and leading research and digital health initiatives in the face of COVID-19. Here, we discuss some perspectives from nursing informaticians based in nine countries across five regions of the world (Ronquillo, Topaz, Pruinelli, Peltonen, & Nibber, 2017). We explain how the nursing informatics community is responding to this global crisis and offer some early lessons learned that could be useful in future outbreaks of infectious disease. Despite the swift implementation of a lockdown of the Hubei province, COVID-19 spread beyond Chinese borders. Approximately 400,000 people cross the shared border between Hong Kong and China per day (Hong Kong Immigration Department, 2020), posing a risk of repeating the SARS outbreak more than a decade earlier that killed 299 people in Hong Kong (World Health Organization, 2003). Within days of the first reported case of coronavirus, the Hong Kong government raised the response level to ‘emergency’ (Cheung, Lok-kei, Lau, & Ho-him, 2020). This saw the halting of transportation to and from Wuhan, the cancellation of large events in spite of the Lunar New Year celebrations, an extension of school holidays and work from home arrangements (Lum & Lok-kei, 2020). However, the outbreak triggered painful memories of the 2003 SARS epidemic for many residents who were already mired in a time of civil unrest and government dissatisfaction throughout 2019 and 2020 (Lau & Cheung, 2020; Stevenson, Ramzy, & May, 2020). Despite the government justifying the maintenance of its borders with China, pressure from the public and healthcare workers, as well as a burgeoning rise in local COVID-19 cases led to border closures and the suspension of schools and examinations (Ho-him, 2020). In response, nursing informaticians in Hong Kong are helping to move nursing education fully online to support students, while teaching about this new infectious disease through social media and developing virtual learning activities around public health interventions. Among Southeast Asian nations, the Philippines ranks high on the list of countries with the total number of cases and deaths from COVID-19 (Center for Strategic & International Studies, 2020). The government placed the largest of the islands, Luzon which includes the capital city of Manila (home to about 60 million people), in enhanced community quarantine (i.e. lockdown) on 16 March 2020 to reduce the impact of the disease on the country's healthcare system (Gregorio, 2020). Despite being a top global exporter of healthcare workers (Castro-Palaganas et al., 2017), the Philippines is now experiencing a lack of nurses and other clinicians to serve during the pandemic. As a result, the government called for healthcare worker volunteers in March (Cruz-Bacani, 2020) and temporarily banned overseas deployment of healthcare workers in April 2020 (ABS-CBN News, 2020b). The main nursing associations including the Philippine Nurses Association, Filipino Nurses United and Ang Nars are urging the government to give nurses higher wages, on top of the ₱500 pesos (USD $10) per day allowance announced, to mitigate nurse migration and ensure they are adequately compensated for the high risk, critical role they provide caring for people infected with COVID-19 (ABS-CBN News, 2020a; deLeon, 2020). In response to the pandemic, nursing informaticians in the Philippines are helping to deploy distance learning and e-learning technologies to ensure nursing students and professionals are adequately trained. Social media are also being used to disseminate appropriate health information to local communities across the numerous islands and provide emotional support to nurses working on the frontlines caring for those infected. Like other regions, COVID-19 quickly spread to almost all parts of the Middle East. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is one of the countries in the Arab world that has been significantly affected with more than 20,000 cases (Abueish, 2020). The holy month of Ramadan which requires fasting, prayer and reflection started on the evening of the 23 April 2020 and lasts for 30days which could make self-isolation and social distancing challenging (Atique & Itumalla, 2020). In addition, millions of Muslims would normally undertake the Umrah, an Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, which the government cancelled in a bid to repress the spread of the disease (Ebrahim & Memish, 2020; Gautret, Al-Tawfiq, & Hoang, 2020). The Middle Eastern region, especially the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is already facing the MERS and therefore further vigilance is required to combat COVID-19 (Jazieh et al., 2020). The Ministry of Health has directed healthcare workers to strictly follow the previous guidelines for MERS as this is an emerging and complex situation (Ministry of Health, 2020). The country largely relies on a foreign workforce which comes from around the globe to staff its health sector, bringing knowledge and skills from a diverse range of nationalities and ethnicities. Furthermore, some hospitals have started telemedicine and related digital services to provide health care to people at home (Saudi German Hospitals, 2020). In response to the pandemic, nursing informaticians in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are helping to provide digital health and care services such as telemedicine. They are also using online tools to reach and educate patients and local communities about the disease to help reduce transmission and rates of infection. Europe was the epicentre of the pandemic for several weeks, with Belgium, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom (UK) among the countries with the highest number of reported cases and deaths from COVID-19 (Henley & Pilkington, 2020). In the UK, the Prime Minister Boris Johnston, who was hospitalized in critical care with the coronavirus (Stewart & Campbell, 2020) and the Tory political party that holds the government majority, initially took an alternative approach to tackling the disease by advocating for ‘herd immunity’ on 12 March 2020 (Yong, 2020). The Tory party leadership suggested that most of the population, approximately 65 million across four countries (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales), should become infected to enable healthy individuals to build up an adequate immune response to this contagious disease (Horton, 2020). This was followed by mixed messages around social distancing and self-isolation mid-March 2020, despite the rapidly rising death tolls in Italy and Spain where British citizens were holidaying at the time (Hunter, 2020). It has garnered a varied response from professionals and the public alike, both at home and abroad, given this does not follow the traditional public health response to an infectious disease outbreak that includes testing, contact tracing and isolating potentially infected individuals (Alwan et al., 2020; Hellewell et al., 2020). Despite a change in UK government policy away from this approach, some of the conversations surrounding this debacle and others such as the shortage of personal protective equipment and critical care beds have reverberated on social media. These data are now being analysed by nursing informaticians, as Twitter and other online platforms can be used to discern trends in the public's perception of important health-related issues which can be used to inform and promote health protection (Meng, Kath, Li, & Nguyen, 2017). Other nurse informaticians are working to develop digital dashboards to monitor and improve the quality of care in acute hospital settings (Randell et al., 2020) or testing virtual reality applications as a way to improve mental health (O'Connor, 2019). Switzerland, a country with 8.6 million inhabitants living across 26 cantons and four language regions (French, German, Italian and Rhaeto-Romance), is responding to the COVID-19 pandemic by closing non-vital services and implementing WHO recommendations such as rapid testing, case isolation or self-isolation and social distancing (Federal Office of Public Health, 2020; Salathé et al., 2020). Like many countries, the health service and frontline clinicians face numerous challenges such as the shortage of personal protective equipment, disinfectant and ventilators and a lack of knowledge on how to prevent, diagnose and treat the disease. These rapid changes have expediated a digital transformation in Switzerland with family doctors and hospital laboratories exchanging data in more structured, electronic ways and patients remotely monitored by nurses and physicians using telemedicine or telecare systems (Wanner, 2020). In addition, numerous scientific research initiatives have begun to address some of these challenges. One example is the Corona Science community, an interdisciplinary group of researchers including nursing informaticians, who are working with sponsors and partners to provide an application to collect anonymized, aggregated self-reported data related to COVID-19. This includes measures for physical health, psychological well-being and social impact, for example employment, education and home schooling, caring responsibilities and community activism, to enable a better understanding of this infectious disease (Corona Science, 2020). In Finland, the government declared a state of emergency in March 2020 and implemented a range of measures including closing most educational institutions and shifting to online education, closing businesses and cultural venues, limiting travel and banning large gatherings to curb the spread of the virus. The southern region of Uusimaa, where the capital Helsinki lies and where many of the 5.5 million citizens live, faced tougher restrictions to limit the transmission of COVID-19 to the rest of the country. These restrictions are planned to remain in force until the 13 May 2020. On 1 April 2020, an Operations Centre for managing the pandemic was established by the Prime Minister's Office to improve situational awareness, monitor the impact of government policies on the coronavirus outbreak and develop an exit plan (Finnish Government, 2020b). In addition, an arm of the government called Media Pool, which supports media organizations in Finland and a marketing company, PINK Helsinki, jointly launched a national social media campaign to counteract misinformation about the infectious disease (Finnish Government, 2020a). Nationally, the Finish Institute for Health and Welfare continuously update their online resources with information and materials on COVID-19 for professionals and the public (Finnish Institute for Health & Welfare, 2020). Existing digital health services have also been expanded. For example an online symptom assessment tool called ‘Omaolo’ is available to help the public gauge the likelihood of a coronavirus infection and provide referral and treatment advice (SoteDigi Oy, 2020). A ‘Coronabot’ web service that gives guidance regarding exposure to and symptoms of COVID-19 has also been established and a national online database for professionals was updated with COVID-19 specific information and guidance via a collaboration across university hospital districts of Helsinki, Tampere, Oulu, Kupio and Turku (Health Village, 2020). Nursing informaticians in Finland have assisted these efforts and beyond e.g. by developing COVID-19 related data interfaces for electronic health records, providing digital education on caring for those infected with the virus and improving mobile documentation to speed up access to real-time patient information. In Canada, the structure of healthcare provisioning is determined by provincial governments which has resulted in variations in the public health and political response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, there are concerted efforts across the country to focus public education and policy on physical distancing as a key strategy to ‘flattening the curve’ and preserving a level of acute care capacity for those that need it (Woods, 2020). This has led to a restructuring of healthcare service delivery via the increased use of health information technologies. In Western Canada, there has been a push for virtual health teams to increase capacity for telehealth appointments (e.g. telephone, video conferencing, email and text) to deliver patient care (Provincial Health Services Authority, 2020). This rapid development and implementation of digital services has required nursing informaticians to lead much of this work. Furthermore, virtual teaching tools have been created to help prepare nurses, nursing students and retired nurses entering frontline health services to support COVID-19 efforts.These include online educational resources related to the clinical presentation, detection and care (e.g. e-learning module on the use of personal protective equipment) of people diagnosed or suspected to have the infectious disease (Canadian Institute of Health Information, 2020; Canadian Nurses Association, 2020). A systematic and centralized approach to collecting, coding (using the WHO International Classification of Disease), synthesizing and sharing up-to-date information about coronavirus cases is also underway among the health informatics community, who are adopting new digital and visualization tools to enable better epidemiological modelling (Canadian Institute of Health Information, 2020). In the US, the federalist system of public health governance divides power among the federal, state and local governments. Each of these entities has an authority, to some extent, to initiate responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Early in March 2020, federal government in the US started its response by introducing a travel ban on flights from China. Further federal policies included declaring a national ‘State of Emergency’ and providing financial stimuli to the US economy (Wallach & Myers, 2020). Although responses varied from state to state, virtually all states issued stay-at-home orders for non-essential workers as of early April 2020 (National Conference of State Legislatures, 2020). In late April 2020, the situation remains dire, with the US becoming an epicentre of COVID-19 cases and deaths worldwide. Nursing informaticians in the US have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic in several important ways. In educational settings, nursing informaticians have supported the switch to online modes of education to reduce in-person contact between nursing students. In clinical settings, nurse informaticians are using a diverse range of health data to help alleviate the impact of COVID-19. For example, nurse informaticians across hospitals in New York have built efficient and streamlined ways of tracking the availability of and forecasting the need for critical health equipment such as ventilators. In other initiatives, nurse informaticians are collaborating on providing access to timely data, for example guidelines on nursing responses to the COVID-19 pandemic (Omaha System Community of Practice, 2020). In addition, nurse informaticians have contributed to creating ways of assessing COVID-19 related symptoms; for example by assisting in the creation of an online survey, CovidWatcher, that tracks disease symptoms (University of Columbia, 2020). Finally, Latin America and the Caribbean have been the last major region of the world to experience the coronavirus. The government and public response to COVID-19 has varied due to the differing health systems, economies and politics of each country. However, high levels of inequality and poverty (Santos & Villatoro, 2018), along with limited health systems capacity and a lack of healthcare workers are common characteristics amongst many Latin American countries (Laurell & Giovanella, 2018). The first confirmed coronavirus case was in Brazil on 26 February 2020 and Argentina was the first country to confirm a death on 7 March 2020 related to COVID-19 (World Health Organization, 2020a). The demographic profile in Latin America is younger with a smaller percentage of individuals over 65 (Pan American Health Organization, 2017). Despite having a younger profile, the socioeconomic disparities in health, access to health care and the prevalence of chronic diseases raises the possibility of needing intensive care (Biener & Zuvekas, 2019). In Mexico, the government restricted international travel, banned large gathering events and encouraged social distancing to limit people's exposure by staying at home. The government has been widely critiqued for delaying action to limit the spread of the virus, reasoning the costs of closing down industries would have a negative impact on the economy. However, it is complicated to limit exposure as approximately 60% of the population have informal jobs (Organisation for Economic Co-operation & Development, 2019). As over 125 million people reside in Mexico, there is a need to use virtual health. Hence, the government has developed a website and an app where signs and symptoms of the disease and how to prevent transmission of the virus are explained to help educate the public (Secretaria de Salud de México, 2020). Telehealth is also beginning to be used to remotely monitor the health of at risk populations and to reduce the numbers of people presenting at local hospitals, with many nursing informaticians involved in these initiatives (Sood, Pollard, Le Suer, Vlahovich, & Walker, 2020). To conclude, nursing informaticians worldwide are working with colleagues in clinical settings to advance and implement electronic systems and digital infrastructure that supports healthcare professionals caring for patients with COVID-19, while those in educational settings prepare and deliver virtual learning to train nursing students and nurse practitioners about the infectious disease. Many nursing informaticians are also researching how different technologies can be employed to understand the spread of the virus and its impact on people's health and well-being. Some early lessons learned during this pandemic are to leverage interdisciplinary networks to scope out robust platforms for symptom and disease monitoring, collaborate with the technology industry to scale up digital solutions for health professionals, patients and their families, and capitalize on existing social media and health applications to reach key stakeholders quickly such as at risk vulnerable groups. More work still needs to be done, in particular by employing artificial intelligence and visualization tools on real-time COVID-19 datasets to enhance decision making by clinicians, policy makers and the public. The international nursing informatics community plan to convene in Australia for their bi-annual conference in August 2021, after postponing the original July 2020 event (https://ni2020.org/). Here, COVID-19 and how it is being tackled across the regions of the world is likely to take centre stage so that the technical, organizational, social, cultural and political challenges we face can be discussed and new ideas about how technology and informatics can help nurses address them are generated. As 2020 is the World Health Organization (WHO) designated Year of the Nurse and the Midwife, we dedicate this editorial to nurses everywhere who are helping tackle the coronavirus pandemic, particularly those who have lost their lives to this infectious disease.

Abstract BackgroundSaudi Arabian authorities have implemented a number of preventive measures to confront COVID-19, including complete public lockdown, limitations on many services and a public awareness campaign. The success of these preventive measures is highly dependent on individuals’ compliance, which is influenced by their knowledge, attitudes and practices towards this disease. This study aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes and practices towards COVID-19 among the population of Saudi Arabia.MethodsThis is a cross-sectional design study conducted between May 4 and May 21, 2020, using an online survey of 1135 participants. The survey instrument consisted of demographic characteristics, 19 items on knowledge, 4 items on attitudes and 6 items on practices. Descriptive statistics, independent sample t -test, analysis of variance, Mann–Whitney U test, Kruskal–Wallis test, standard multiple regression analysis and ordinal logistic regression analysis were conducted. ResultsThe majority of the study participants were knowledgeable about COVID-19, with an overall correct rate of 77%. Most participants were worried of contracting COVID-19 (96.3%), and they held positive attitudes towards the intent to use a vaccine for COVID-19 if it was available (81%), informing health authorities if they developed symptoms of COVID-19 (98.1%) and confidence in the government efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic (90%). Most participants were also taking precautions such as keeping social distancing (99.2%), avoiding leaving the house (98.6%) and wearing face masks in public (92.2%). Nearly all of the respondents stated that they were avoiding shaking hands (96.8%), avoiding touching their face with unwashed hands (96.7%) and washing/rubbing hands as recommended (96.6%). Male participants with higher education level and high income who had attended a health education activity were more likely to have more COVID-19 knowledge.ConclusionsThe findings of this research suggest that the Saudi population are generally knowledgeable and have good attitudes and practices regarding COVID-19. Health authorities in Saudi Arabia may benefit from the findings of this research, as the results could be used to improve planning for COVID-19-related efforts and to plan for future health crises. Such planning will help local authorities react promptly to prevent any health threats to the Saudi population and to those who visit Islamic holy places in Saudi Arabia.

Physical inactivity is a significant risk factor for many non-communicable diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and evidence shows that physical inactivity is one of the highest risk factors for death globally. Research has shown that theory-driven persuasive interventions are more effective at promoting behaviour change than generic ones. However, research on the determinants of physical activity and the moderating effect of age and gender among non-Western culture is limited. To close this gap, we conduct a large-scale study of the determinants of physical activity among 217 participants from Saudi Arabia using the extended Health Belief Model (HBM), a commonly applied behavioural model in health interventions design. We also assessed for the moderating effect of age and gender. Our findings show that Social influence, Cue to action and Perceived severity are the strongest determinants of physical activity in Saudi adults. We map these determinants to their corresponding persuasive strategies that can be used in operationalizing them in persuasive applications for promoting physical activity. Finally, we discuss the implication of our findings and offer design guidelines for persuasive interventions that appeal to both a broad audience and tailored to a particular group depending on their gender and age group.

Awareness of the patients to the differences between ophthalmologists and optometrists has been recognized as an important factor influencing patient utilization of available eye care services. This study aimed at assessing the public's knowledge of the differences between ophthalmologists and optometrists among the residents of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. An online questionnaire was administered to adults in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from January to February in 2018. The number of the respondents was 1579. Results show that 50% (n=789) of the participants had fair knowledge of the differences between ophthalmologists and optometrists, while 32% (n=505) had poor knowledge. After multivariate logistic regression analysis, there was a significant association between satisfactory knowledge and visiting an optometrist (odds ratio (OR): 0.75, 95% CI: 0.57-0.98), age older than 26 (OR: 1.73, 95% CI: 1.17-1.19), higher level of education (OR: 1.92, 95% CI: 1.54-2.4), and wearing spectacles (OR: 0.57, 95% CI: 0.45-0.73). Given the low level of public knowledge regarding the differences in the duties between ophthalmologist and optometrists among a Saudi population, there is great potential for general population education through awareness campaign and social media regarding eye care provider's duties and practices.

Introduction Antibiotic dispensing regulations have been implemented in most countries worldwide. Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Health (MOH) recently implemented a policy for dispensing antibiotics, in which pharmacies in Saudi Arabia are strictly prohibited from dispensing antibiotics without a medical prescription. Failure to adhere to the regulations will result in a fine and may lead to the revoking of the pharmacy's license. The aim of this study was to investigate public perception among the Saudi population toward the recently implemented policy, to examine the effect of antibiotic dispensing regulations on consumers’ request for non-prescribed antibiotics at retail pharmacies, and to elucidate the implications of the recent policies on patient visitation to family physicians. Method A cross-sectional study was conducted using three questionnaires targeting the general public in Saudi Arabia in addition to pharmacists and family physicians working in Saudi Arabia. Results A total of 380 participants completed the questionnaire for the general public, 299 for the pharmacist questionnaire, and 94 for the family physician questionnaire. Most participants in the general public questionnaire obtained their antibiotics using a prescription after consulting with a family physician (72.4%). Most of these individuals also agreed with the strict regulations for antibiotic dispensing (82.1%). Most pharmacist participants either always or frequently received requests to dispense antibiotics without a prescription from customers (71.5%). In addition, most physicians (59.6%) acknowledged that patient demand increased after the implementation of the new policies. Conclusion Our assessment of public perception towards the recent regulation for dispensing antibiotics indicates that most participants who participated in the General Public questionnaire supported the MOH’s strict regulations for antibiotic dispensing. However, customer requests for antibiotics without a prescription from pharmacists were a bit high, which could be attributed to customers' lack of awareness of the regulations. The results also indicate an increase in the number of family physician visits after the regulations were implemented.

The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most devastating public health emergencies in history. In late 2020 and after almost a year from the initial outbreak of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), several vaccines were approved and administered in most countries. Saudi Arabia has established COVID-19 vaccination centers in all regions. Various facilities were selected to set up these vaccination centers, including conference and exhibition centers, old airport terminals, pre-existing medical facilities, and primary healthcare centers. Deciding the number and locations of these facilities is a fundamental objective for successful epidemic responses to ensure the delivery of vaccines and other health services to the entire population. This study analyzed the spatial distribution of COVID-19 vaccination centers in Jeddah, a major city in Saudi Arabia, by using GIS tools and methods to provide insight on the effectiveness of the selection and distribution of the COVID-19 vaccination centers in terms of accessibility and coverage. Based on a spatial analysis of vaccine centers' coverage in 2020 and 2021 in Jeddah presented in this study, coverage deficiency would have been addressed earlier if the applied GIS analysis methods had been used by authorities while gradually increasing the number of vaccination centers. This study recommends that the Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia evaluated the assigned vaccination centers to include the less-populated regions and to ensure equity and fairness in vaccine distribution. Adding more vaccine centers or reallocating some existing centers in the denser districts to increase the coverage in the uncovered sparse regions in Jeddah is also recommended. The methods applied in this study could be part of a strategic vaccination administration program for future public health emergencies and other vaccination campaigns.

Abstract Background There is a disparity in outcomes between rural and urban emergency medical services (EMS) around the world. However, there is a scarcity of research that directly asks EMS staff in both rural and urban areas how service delivery could be improved. The aim of the present study is to gain insights from frontline workers regarding organisational factors that may underpin discrepancies between rural and urban EMS performance. Subject and methods The study was undertaken in the Riyadh region of Saudi Arabia. Potential participants were currently employed by Saudi Red Crescent EMS as either a technician, paramedic or an EMS station manager, and had a minimum of five years experience with the EMS. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken between October 2019 and July 2020 with first respondents to a call for participants, and continued until data saturation was reached. All interviews were conducted in Arabic and transcribed verbatim. The Arabic transcript was shared with each participant, and they were asked to confirm their agreement with the transcription. The transcribed interviews were then translated into English; the English versions were shared with bi-lingual participants for validation, while independent certification of the translations were performed for data from participants not fluent in English. A thematic analysis methodological approach was used to examine the data. Results The final sample involved 20 participants (10 rural, 10 urban) from Saudi Red Crescent EMS. Data analyses identified key organisational factors that resulted in barriers and impediments for EMS staff. Differences and similarities were observed between rural and urban respondents, with identified issues including response and transportation time, service coordination, reason for call-out, as well as human and physical resourcing. Conclusion The findings identified key issues impacting on EMS performance across both rural and urban areas. In order to address these problems, three changes are recommended. These recommendations include a comprehensive review of rural EMS vehicles, with a particular focus on the age; incentives to improve the numbers of paramedics in rural areas and more localised specialist training opportunities for rurally-based personnel; and the implementation of national public education program focusing on the role of the EMS.

COVID-19 imposed huge burdens and obligations on public health and epidemiology centers to elevate the role of periodic surveillance and case tracing in order to cease the spread of the pandemic. As a result, nations globally are developing various digital solutions for accurate surveillance, reporting of new cases, tracing contacts, and monitoring public health. Traditional tracking and reporting methods have been replaced by intelligent solutions for accurate and efficient reporting. Tools such smart phones, portable devices, and drones have been incorporated in these solutions. These devices produce large amount of data on daily basis and need to be processed instantly to battle the spread of the virus and this is where AI is needed. While the need for AI in disease control and surveillance is clear, the application of AI methods and machine learning algorithms in this field needs further studies. This paper is a systematic review of using AI in COVID-19 surveillance literature to answer the following questions: 1. What AI-based methods are used globally for COVID-19 surveillance? 2. How effective are these methods, and 3. What are the methods used in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Overweight and obesity, a major global epidemic, has reached a particularly alarming level in Saudi Arabia, with more than half of the adult population overweight and one out of five obese. Overweight and obesity together constitute both a disease and a biological risk factor linked to numerous noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). In addition to the health burden, obesity comes with a large economic toll on society, through its impact on human capital and healthcare. While the causes of overweight and obesity remain complex and numerous, several emerging innovative and multisectoral evidence-based interventions aim to address the main behavioral risk factors of obesity, such as unhealthy diets and inadequate physical activity. Saudi Arabia has already embarked on the design and implementation of several such interventions and seeks to further expand and scale up such efforts to meet national goals.

Emerging and re-emerging viral diseases poses a threat to living organisms, and led to serious concern to humankind and public health. The last two decades, viral epidemics such as the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV) reported in the years 2002–2003, and H1N1 influenza (Swine flu) in 2009, middle east respiratory syndrome (MERS-CoV) from Saudi Arabia in 2012, Ebola virus in 2014–2016, and Zika virus in 2015. The recent outbreak of 2019-CoV-2 or severe acute respiratory syndrome-2 (SARS-CoV-2), novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV, or 2019 disease, COVID-19) in Dec 2019, from, Wuhan city of China, has severe implications of health concerns to the whole world, due to global spread and high health risk. More than 423349 deaths had occurred globally and is still increasing every day. The whole world is under a health emergency, and people are advised to stay at their homes to avoid the spread of person-to-person infection, and advised to maintain social distancing. The advancement in clinical diagnosis techniques like Real-Time PCR (RT-PCR), immunological, microscopy, and geographic information system (GIS) mapping technology helped in tacking the rapid diagnosis and tracking viral infection in a short period. In the same way, artificial intelligence (AI), combinatorial chemistry, and deep learning approaches help to find novel therapeutics in less time and wide applicability in biomedical research. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has started the clinical trials of investigation COVID-19 vaccine. Therefore, we can expect vaccines to be available for this deadly disease in the coming few months.

Physical inactivity is a growing concern in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and globally. Data on physical activity (PA) trends, barriers, and facilitators among adolescents in KSA are scarce. This study aims to identify PA trends amongst adolescents in KSA and associated health and lifestyle behaviors. Data from “Jeeluna”, a national study in KSA involving around 12,500 adolescents, were utilized. School students were invited to participate, and a multistage sampling procedure was used. Data collection included a self-administered questionnaire, anthropometric measurements, and blood sampling. Adolescents who performed PA for at least one day per week for >30 min each day were considered to “engage in PA”. Mean age of the participants was 15.8 ± 0.8 years, and 51.3% were male. Forty-four percent did not engage in PA regularly. Only 35% engaged in PA at school, while 40% were not offered PA at school. Significantly more 10–14-year old than 15–19-year-old adolescents and more males than females engaged in PA (<0.01). Mental health was better in adolescents who engaged in PA (<0.01). Adolescents who engaged in PA were more likely to eat healthy food and less likely to live a sedentary lifestyle (<0.01). It is imperative that socio-cultural and demographic factors be taken into consideration during program and policy development. This study highlights the urgent need for promoting PA among adolescents in KSA and addressing perceived barriers, while offering a treasure of information to policy and decision makers.

Introduction: There is a lack of research on the impact of the transition of pharmaceutical care service from Ministry of Health (MOH) primary healthcare centers (PHCs) to community pharmacies (Wasfaty service) in Saudi Arabia. This study explored the Saudi community’s perception toward the transition of pharmaceutical care service. Community needs and expectations from the Wasfaty service were assessed, and its experience, concerns, and limitations were evaluated.Methods: Qualitative, in-depth, semistructured interviews of Saudi community members who visited community pharmacies with electronic prescriptions from MOH PHCs were conducted. The data obtained from participants were thematically organized and analyzed using NVivo software.Results: Seven themes related to the new Wasfaty service were identified and divided into three categories: perception toward the transition in pharmaceutical care, experience with the Wasfaty service, and concerns about limitations of the Wasfaty service. The Saudi community was generally satisfied with the new Wasfaty service and highlighted its benefits compared to PHCs pharmacies. These include: easier access, time flexibility, lower crowds, better communication with pharmacists, better medication education, better medication availability, better control over dispensing, and easier refills. However, the community complained about the lack of privacy in community pharmacies, the lack of female pharmacists, and the low number of Saudi pharmacists. They also were concerned about the number and location of community pharmacies featuring the Wasfaty service, some technical issues, and the lack of labels on medications (i.e., receiving no instructions about medication storage).Conclusions: The Saudi community showed its need for the transition in pharmaceutical care services.

This study was to establish a baseline level of knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of oral health promotion (OHP) among oral health providers in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The study also described and evaluated the factors that facilitate or limit the practice of OHP and examined the relationship between the level of knowledge and attitude that practitioners have of OHP and their OHP practice.A cross-sectional questionnaire included demographic questions and questions on the KAP of oral health promotion. Out of 365 questionnaires that were disseminated, 106 questionnaires were fully completed. Cross- tabulation was conducted to establish factors associated with KAP scores. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the factors that were associated with the practice of OHP.The baseline level of oral health providers' knowledge and attitude toward OHP was fair. Only a few providers have integrated OHP into their practice. Age of participants was significantly associated with knowledge of OHP among the providers. Also, there was a significant difference in mean attitude scores toward OHP by education level. The practice of OHP was significantly related to education level and facility type.Further research focusing on different cities or geographical regions in the KSA is needed to validate this finding. Also, the finding supports the need for continuous training in OHP to ensure that health providers understand and apply OHP practices in their work.Due to the scarcity of data that measure OHP among oral health providers in the KSA, proper education and training programs by governmental authorities are difficult to implement. This study will provide baseline measures for future investigations for academicians and practitioners, alike.

COVID-19 has caused a global pandemic that has spread rapidly to six continents, with over 2.5 million deaths from December 2019 to March 2021. The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases is still growing worldwide, and quarantines have been recommended to prevent the disease's spread. However, quarantines affect people's quality of life (QOL). The aim of this study is to assess the effect of social isolation-quarantine-on QOL during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional, descriptive design was used in the present study. We obtained data from an online survey conducted in Saudi Arabia. We included a convenience sample of 775 participants in the study. Most of the participants were female (67%), with a mean age of 46 years ranging from 18 to 75 years. Many participants were government employees (n = 308, 39.7%) and had a bachelor's degree or greater (n = 513, 66.2%). Most of the participants (n = 629, 81%) were free from any chronic disease. Nearly 88% of participants were partially isolated socially owing to COVID-19. Concerning QOL, the means of both the Physical Health Composite Scale and the Mental Health Composite Scale SF-12 scores were 44.7 and 34.6, respectively. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that partially socially isolated participants appeared to have significantly better physical health statuses (M = 44.96, SD = 5.90) than completely socially isolated participants (M = 42.87 ± 7.26). There was no significant social isolation effect on mental health status (t (773) = 2.5, p = 0.115). Social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic considerably influenced various aspects of QOL including physical and mental health. Community-based interventions such as online counseling services and wellness programs are required to reduce the pandemic's negative impact and enhance overall health status and QOL.

Hajj (pilgrimage) is a unique social and religious event in which many Muslims worldwide come to perform Hajj. More than two million people travel to Makkah, Saudi Arabia annually to perform various Hajj rituals for four to five days. However, given the recent outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and its variants, Hajj in the last 2 years 2020-2021 has been different because pilgrims were limited down to a few thousand to control and prevent the spread of COVID-19. This study employs a deep learning approach to investigate the impressions of pilgrims and others from within and outside the Makkah community during the 1442 AH Hajj season. Approximately 4,300 Hajj-related posts and interactions were collected from social media channels, such as Twitter and YouTube, during the Hajj season Dhul-Hijjah 1-13, 1442 (July 11-23, 2021). Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and long short-term memory (LSTM) deep learning methods were utilized to investigate people's impressions from the collected data. The CNN-LSTM approach showed superior performance results compared with other widely used classification models in terms of F-score and accuracy. Findings revealed significantly positive sentiment rates for tweets collected from Mina and Arafa holy sites, with ratios exceeding 4 out of 5. Furthermore, the sentiment analysis (SA) rates for tweets about Hajj and pilgrims varied during the days of Hajj. Some were classified as positive tweets, such as describing joy at receiving the days of Hajj, and some were negative tweets, such as expressing the impression about the hot weather and the level of satisfaction for some services. Moreover, the SA of comments on several YouTube videos revealed positive classified comments, including praise and supplications, and negative classified comments, such as expressing regret that the Hajj was limited to a small number of pilgrims.

To investigate the knowledge, prevalence of chronic respiratory disorders, and utilization of their medications among the adults at Najran region, Saudi Arabia.An online cross-sectional survey was carried out in Najran region, Saudi Arabia. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed among a random sample of the general population, aged 18 or above between March and December 2022. The survey instrument included questions regarding history and exposure, physician diagnosed-disorders, respiratory symptoms, allergy, use of medications and possible risk-related factors.This research had a total of 712 individuals. Nearly one-third of the participants in the survey (n = 218; 30.6%) said that they or a member of their family suffer from respiratory ailments. The majority of research participants (n = 167; 76.8%) identified asthma as their primary respiratory condition. A total of 32.0% of participants (n = 70) reported dealing with dust or chemicals such as paints, fertilizers, and cleaning products on a daily basis at work or at home. Around 62.0% of the participants (n = 134) said that exposure to gases, fragrances, and other such substances negatively impacts their health. Almost 78.0% (n = 169) of them indicated that summer weather affects their health, whereas 63.0% (n = 138) reported that winter cold affects their health. Participants aged 41-50 years were 38.0% less likely to have CRDs compared to others (p < 0.05).This study is among the first few studies that explored the knowledge, prevalence of chronic respiratory disorders, and utilization of their medications among the adults at Najran region, Saudi Arabia. In the southern area of Najran, respiratory symptoms are frequent among the inhabitants of Saudi Arabia. More research is required to discover avoidable risk factors and create countermeasures for them. It is recommended that healthcare personnel increase their efforts to educate their patients about respiratory illness prevention methods.

Objective: To assess the impact of diabetic health education on glycemic control for diabetic patients in Bisha province, Saudi Arabia. Subjects and Methods: A prospective study was conducted among adult 465 diabetic patients attending at the Diabetic and Endocrine Center in Bisha, Saudi Arabia, between August 2016 and July 2017. Personal and demographic characteristics were recorded and then each patient underwent 30 min regular diabetic education program every two months along one-year period. Two blood samples were taken (immediately and after one year) from each patient during program to estimate the HbA1c level. A paired t-test was used to compare the level of HbA1c before and after health education program. Results: 465 patients were enrolled in our health education program. The majority of them was Saudi (93%), married (86.9%) and educated with undergraduate level (94.5%). There was significant improvement in glycemic control after one year completion of 30 min diabetic education program (HbA1c 10.41 ± 1.89 to 8.22 ± 1.68 (P<0.012)). Conclusion: This study demonstrates the effectiveness of regular diabetes health education on glycemic control. We recommend implementation of such education program on regular base as a part for type 2 diabetes control strategic program.

To measure general public knowledge, source of knowledge, preferred dosage forms, and beliefs toward medicines.A cross-sectional study design using convenience-sampling technique was used. A pre-validated questionnaire was designed and distributed to the general public through face-to-face interviews. All data were analyzed, and p-values less than 0.05 were considered significant. The study took place in the Clinical Pharmacy Department, Taif University, Taif, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia between August 2012 and February 2013 RESULTS: Nine hundred participants successfully responded to this study. Males represented two-thirds of the respondents (66.8%). In addition, 52% of respondents were of high education level. Modern (74.2%) and alternative medicines (88.7%) were understood by most respondents. Tablets (69.6%) and capsules (37.6%) represented the highest preferred dosage forms. In addition, physicians (66.6%) and pharmacists (46.2%) were the main sources of information regarding medicines. In terms of beliefs, respondents showed wrong beliefs in many statements used in this study.There is a need to improve public knowledge and beliefs toward medicines as well as utilizing public preferred dosage forms. In addition, pharmacists should play a major role in these programs since they are experts on medicines and play a more active role in patient education and counseling.

The impact of COVID-19 on healthcare services has been profound. One major impact has been underutilization of traditional healthcare services by patients. In 2020, the Saudi Ministry of Health (MoH) started offering general COVID-19 enquiries, education, and medical and psychological consultations around the clock via their 937-Call Center. Given this major change, there was a need to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Call Center services, specifically medical consultations, to suggest future recommendations for patient care optimization. This descriptive study analyzed routinely collected data on the 937-Call Center service between March 2020 and September 2020. Data were reviewed, coded, verified, and analyzed using SPSS v22. There was a 296% increase in the number of calls received by the 937-Call Center in 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The majority of calls received in 2020 were general medical enquiries (98.41%), but about three million COVID-19-specific enquiries were also received in 2020. The increased number of calls was managed by accepting volunteers to handle calls: an average of 236 volunteers per month, handling about 20% of the total call volume. The majority of volunteers were physicians but with the presence of pharmacists, psychologists, and specialized healthcare workers such as nutritionists. Utilization of the 937-Call Center increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, suggesting that it has been an effective strategy for combatting the COVID-19 pandemic in Saudi Arabia. Further research is recommended to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on public awareness of the 937-Call Center and other health-related mobile apps.

Background: Worldwide, CKDs are the 12th cause of death and the 17th cause of disability, respectively. About 10-13% of the general population had one of the chronic kidney diseases counting more than 500 million persons worldwide. Early diagnosis and treatment of CKD will play an important role in delaying CKD progression [12]. Aim: The current study aims to determine the prevalence and awareness of CKD among the general population and its determinants in Southern region of Saudi Arabia. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional approach was used targeting all accessible population in Southern Saudi Arabia (including four regions, Aseer region, Albaha region, Najran region, and Jazan region), aged18 years or more and accepting to participate in the study. Data were collected from participants using an online pre-structured questionnaire. The questionnaire covered the following data: participants’ socio-demographic data, participants’ awareness, and participants’ perception towards CKDs, preventive measures and risk. The questionnaire was uploaded online using social media platforms by the researchers and their friends during the period from 20 March 2021 to 20 June 2021. Results: A total of 1317 participants fulfilling the inclusion criteria completed the study questionnaire. Participants’ ages ranged from 18 to 69 years with a mean age of 34.1 12.9 years old. Exactly 255 (19.4%) reported that they had a family member with CKD and 130 (9.9%) of the study respondents had DM, 98 (7.4%) had hypertension, while 20 (1.5%) complained of CKD. Exactly 93% of the study participants had heard about CKDs and 80.8% correctly defined the diseases as a kidney condition that was unable to filter waste, toxins, and fluids from the body. A total of 84.3% reported that chronic kidney disease progresses to kidney failure and 42.9% agreed that chronic kidney disease may not have any symptoms until advanced. The most reported source of knowledge were social media (56%), followed by mass media (22.3%), work (22.1%), books (20.3%), health education campaigns (15.8%), and others (31%). Conclusion: In conclusion, the current study revealed that public awareness in Southern region of Saudi Arabia about CKD and its risk factors is low in contrast to their perception towards the disease and its associated risk. Having information from scientific sources such as books, health education campaigns or study was associated with high awareness level. Key words: Chronic kidney disease, awareness, perception, population, Saudi Arabia, risk factors

Objective: Our study aimed to ascertain rates and most frequent causes of perinatal mortality in a major tertiary care private maternity and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) setup in Saudi Arabia. We also conducted a comparative analysis with the perinatal mortality rates (PMRs) from public setup in Saudi Arabia as well as the most recent global and regional data. Study Design: This was a retrospective, analytic, and comparative study. Methodology: One-year data (from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2017) were ascertained from the Electronic Patient Medical Records database (VIDA) as well as the annual reports of four tertiary care maternity units and NICUs of Sulaiman Al Habib Medical Group in Saudi Arabia. The data were analyzed using Excel. The outcomes were compared with the 2015 data published by the Global Burden of Disease study and 2015 data published by the Euro-Peristat Study. Results: The total number of deliveries during the study period was 14,339, whereas the total number of births was 14,593 (live births 14,543 + stillbirths 50). Perinatal deaths were 80 (50 stillbirths + 30 early neonatal mortality [ENM]). PMR was 5.48/1000 (stillbirth rate: 3.42/1000, ENM rate: 2.06/1000). Third-trimester perinatal deaths were 31 and third-trimester PMR 4.18/1000. Majority of perinatal deaths were either due to congenital anomalies and/or prematurity. The perinatal mortality outcomes were comparable with countries with a high sociodemographic index. Conclusions: The PMRs in Saudi Arabia's private setup is lower than the public setup. This may be reflective of differences in the sociodemographic and economic status of the population being served by public and private sectors as well as a difference in the level of care provided by each sector. A large prospective, multicenter study conducted over a period of 5–10 years to assess differential perinatal outcomes, their underlying factors, and the causes of high incidence of major and futile congenital fetal anomalies is warranted.

To prevent the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the Saudi Arabian Government introduced a number of measures in different phases (e.g. social distancing, curfew and lockdown).This study describes the incidence of COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia during different phases of prevention strategies and assesses their effects on controlling the spread of the disease.This cross-sectional study used COVID-19 data for 2 March-5 July 2020 from the Ministry of Health website. The period was divided into five phases based on prevention strategies implemented to control the infection. The incidence, point prevalence, case fatality, overall mortality rate and recovery rates for COVID-19 infection were assessed at the national, regional and city levels.At the end of phase 5 on 5 July 2020, the nationwide incidence of COVID-19 was 11%, total recovery rate 70%, case fatality rate 0.9% and adjusted case fatality rate 1.4% (adjusted for time lag for mortality). The COVID-19 point prevalence increased from 2.1/100 000 population in phase 1 to 178.2/100 000 population in phase 5. A high recovery rate (68.7%) was observed in phase 4 accompanied with lower overall mortality and incidence in phase 5. The eastern region of Saudi Arabia had the highest point prevalence of COVID-19 infection (450.5 per 100 000 population), while Jeddah and Mecca had the highest overall mortality.The health system of Saudi Arabia efficiently used lockdown and curfew periods to prepare for management of confirmed cases of COVID-19, reflected by the decreased incidence and mortality rates in phase 5.حالات الإصابة والوفيات الناجمة عن مرض كوفيد-19 بعد تنفيذ استراتيجيات الوقاية، المملكة العربية السعودية.نرجس جوفيد، محمد الزبير، صبا أمين، بسمة بوقس، محمد المحيذيف.للوقاية من انتشار مرض فيروس كورونا 2019 (كوفيد-19)، اتخذت الحكومة السعودية عددًا من التدابير في مراحل مختلفة (مثل التباعد الاجتماعي وحظر التجوال وحظر الخروج).هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى وصف تَوَزُّع مرض كوفيد-19 في المملكة العربية السعودية خلال المراحل المختلفة لاستراتيجيات الوقاية، وتُقيِّم تأثير هذه الاستراتيجيات على مكافحة انتشار المرض.استخدمت هذه الدراسة المقطعية بيانات كوفيد-19 في الفترة من 2 مارس/آذار إلى 5 يوليو/تموز 2020 من الموقع الإلكتروني لوزارة الصحة. وتم تقسيم هذه الفترة إلى خمس مراحل، بناءً على استراتيجيات الوقاية المنفذة لمكافحة العدوى. وجرى تقييم معدل الإصابة بعدوى كوفيد-19، ومعدل الانتشار في نقاط معينة، ومعدل إماتة الحالات، والمعدل الإجمالي للوفيات، ومعدل التعافي، وذلك على الصعيدين الوطني والإقليمي وعلى صعيد المدن.في نهاية المرحلة 5 في 5 يوليو/تموز 2020، بلغ معدل الإصابة بمرض كوفيد-19 على الصعيد الوطني 11٪، ومعدل التعافي الكلي 70٪، ومعدل إماتة الحالات 0.9٪، ومعدل إماتة الحالات المُصَحَّح 1.4٪ (مُصَحَّح لمراعاة الفارق الزمني للوفيات). وارتفع معدل انتشار مرض كوفيد-19 في نقاط معينة من المرحلة 1 (2.1 لكل 100000 نسمة) إلى المرحلة 5 (178.2 لكل 100000 نسمة). ولُوحِظَ ارتفاع معدل التعافي (68.7٪) في المرحلة 4 مصحوبًا بانخفاض المعدل الإجمالي للوفيات والإصابة في المرحلة 5. وسجلت المنطقة الشرقية في المملكة العربية السعودية أعلى معدل انتشار لعدوى كوفيد-19 في نقاط معينة (450.5 لكل 100000 نسمة)، في حين سجلت جدة ومكة أعلى معدل إجمالي للوفيات.استخدم النظام الصحي للمملكة العربية السعودية فترات حظر الخروج وحظر التجوال بفاعلية، من أجل التأهب لعلاج حالات الإصابة المؤكدة بمرض كوفيد-19، وهو ما انعكس في انخفاض معدلات الإصابة والوفيات في المرحلة 5.Cas et décès liés à la COVID-19 après la mise en œuvre de stratégies de prévention en Arabie saoudite.Pour empêcher la propagation de la maladie à coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), le gouvernement saoudien a mis en place un certain nombre de mesures en plusieurs phases (par exemple, la distanciation sociale, le couvre-feu et le confinement).L'étude décrit l'incidence des cas de COVID-19 en Arabie saoudite au cours des différentes phases des stratégies de prévention et évalue leur effet sur la maîtrise de la propagation de la maladie.La présente étude transversale a été réalisée à partir des données sur la COVID-19 recueillies du 2 mars au 5 juillet 2020 sur le site Web du ministère de la Santé. La période a été divisée en cinq phases en fonction des stratégies de prévention mises en œuvre pour lutter contre l'infection. Le taux d'incidence, la prévalence ponctuelle, le taux de létalité, le taux global de mortalité et le taux de guérison de l'infection par la COVID-19 ont été évalués aux niveaux national, régional et municipal.À la fin de la phase 5, le 5 juillet 2020, l'incidence nationale de la COVID-19 était de 11 %, le taux de guérison total de 70 %, le taux de létalité de 0,9 % et le taux de létalité ajusté de 1,4 % (ajusté en fonction du décalage temporel par rapport à la mortalité). La prévalence ponctuelle de la COVID-19 a augmenté entre la phase 1 (2,1/100 000 habitants) et la phase 5 (178,2/100 000 habitants). Un taux de guérison élevé (68,7 %) a été observé en phase 4, avec une mortalité globale et une incidence plus faibles en phase 5. C'est dans la région orientale de l'Arabie saoudite que la prévalence ponctuelle de la COVID-19 était la plus élevée (450,5 cas pour 100 000 habitants), tandis que Djeddah et La Mecque affichaient la mortalité globale la plus forte.Le système de santé saoudien a mis à profit de manière efficace les périodes de confinement et de couvre-feu pour se préparer à la prise en charge des cas confirmés de COVID-19, comme en témoigne la diminution des taux d'incidence et de mortalité lors de la phase 5.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Early identification and management of modifiable CVD risk factors are highly effective in preventing disease onset and/or improving outcomes in CVD. As highly accessible primary health professionals, pharmacists can assume a role in screening and risk factor management in collaboration with physicians; however, such prevention services are not established practice in Saudi pharmacies. Therefore, the aim was to explore physicians' perceptions about the utility of a role in CVD risk screening and management for Saudi pharmacists.Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted, audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim in Arabic or English. All transcripts were thematically analyzed in an inductive approach after translation into English if required.A total of 26 physicians recruited from public hospitals and primary healthcare centers were interviewed. Most were unaware of pharmacists' potential to undertake a role in CVD risk prevention. Although there was broad support for the concept, they recommended physician-pharmacist collaborative models, extensive provider pharmacist training, and strict oversight by the Saudi Ministry of Health (MoH)/other official authorities to ensure service quality and sustainability, should implementation occur. Healthcare system reform was considered key to expanding private sector (i.e., community pharmacy) involvement in healthcare, as was incentivizing providers and 'marketing' for patient acceptance.Physicians were positive about setting up a collaborative community pharmacist-physician CVD risk screening and management service model with the help of an authorized body within the Saudi Arabian healthcare system.

Non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and diabetes, along with respective risk factors, pose a public health problem in Saudi Arabia. This study was done using GBD-SHIS data to study the prevalence and risk factors of non-communicable diseases in Saudi Arabia. Data from nationally representative sample collected during Saudi health Interview Survey (SHIS) 2013 was ana-lyzed. Among a total of 10195 respondents, the mean age was 37.9 years (SD 16.1), of which 5252 (51.5%) were female and 6623 (65.0%) were currently married. The most common NCD was asthma (3.65%), followed by myocardial infarction (0.67%) and stroke (0.48%) and renal failure (0.54%). The most common NCD risk factor was ever smoking (17.01%). Diabetes (11.40%) and hypertension (9.38%) were the other common risk factors. All the NCDs were higher in the age group >60 years. The study clearly highlights the high burden of NCDs and their risk factors among Saudi population. The study inputs are extremely useful for government, service providers and population to develop appropriate prevention, screening and management services. Keywords: Non-communicable diseases, Aged, risk factors

Breast cancer (BC) has a major impact on women's health worldwide. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is no exception, where it is considered the most common malignancy, embodying the second leading cause of cancer deaths after lung cancer. In today's world, people are more health conscious and more aware of different medical specialties. Despite the tremendous advancements in education, there seems to be a limited knowledge among the public regarding this issue. Various studies have been conducted in many regions to determine the perception/awareness about breast cancer. The present study is of the first of its type in our region, assessing the awareness of the public about breast cancer and its screening measurements. As per our knowledge, there is no study that estimated the awareness of breast cancer and its screening measurements among the public in the Asir region. Therefore, this study aims to estimate the awareness of breast cancer and its screening measurements among public and assess the knowledge about Breast Self-Examination (BSE) and their opinion about its effectiveness in early diagnosis of breast cancer to detect the relationship between awareness and socioeconomic status. This study is a cross-sectional prospective study, with a sample of 1046 participants aged between 12 and 80 years (male and female) from the Asir region evaluated by questionnaire after attaining consent. The selection of participants was based on the simple random sampling method. The majority of participants were of age 20 to less than 30 years (56.9%). About half of them were males (52.7%). The majority was single (61.2%). Most of them (74.0%) have a high education level (University and more). About one-third of the participants (32.7%) worked in the medical field, and most of them worked in the non-medical field (46.6%). Regarding general knowledge, the score was 60.2%, which represented a relatively good knowledge. The overall knowledge regarding breast cancer as recorded by our population reported that only 18.8% had good knowledge. Participants of this resettlement colony have poor knowledge about breast cancer, be it about risk factors, signs, and symptoms, or early detection procedures, where the overall knowledge score was only 18.8%.

Since the declaration of the Covid-19 pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, the coronavirus has upended communities and dramatically changed people’s daily endeavors across the globe [1]. The current Covid-19 circumstances are occasioned by social realities such as the proliferation of misinformation, social inequalities, and nations’ inability to prepare for unprecedented crises such as the coronavirus. While Covid-19 has managed to elicit anxiety, cause illnesses and deaths, different sectors, individuals, and health dockets utilize technology to combat the pandemic. As we advance, there will be a need for a critical social understanding of how technology can be used to apprehend global crises such as coronavirus. To comprehend how technology is being used to address the coronavirus crises, the current paper assesses, evaluates, and rates the Covid-19 website developed by the Ministry of Health of Saudi Arabia [2].

Objectives This study aimed to assess the prevalence of self-medication (SM), the reasons for SM and the relationship between chronic health conditions and SM among adult individuals. Setting This was an online questionnaire-based cross-sectional study disseminated on different social media platforms in Saudi Arabia. Participants Saudi Arabia sample of adult individuals aged 18 and above. Primary and secondary outcome measures Primary outcome was SM, measured using the following question: ‘During the past 6 months, have you used any medicines or dietary supplements, or herbal medicines or vitamins not prescribed or recommended by a doctor?’ A positive answer indicates a self-medicated participant. Results Out of 1645 individuals who viewed the study link, 1295 participants completed the survey with a response rate of 95.1%. Overall, 989 (76.4%) participants reported practicing SM in the past 6 months. SM was higher among younger participants, women, those with higher education levels and high income, and working in the health field. About 198 (73.3%) who have chronic conditions practised SM for chronic health conditions, such as (hypertension and hypercholesterolemia). Previous experience with the same illness (n=530, 25.7%) and attempting to save time (n=466, 22.6%) were the main reasons behind SM, according to the participants. Adverse drug events were reported by 204 (20.6%) of self-medicating individuals and 274 (64.9%) of them reported discontinuing SM. Conclusions The findings of this study indicate a high prevalence rate of SM among the adult population in Saudi Arabia. Individuals with chronic health conditions reported a high rate of SM. Launching public education campaigns to improve public awareness of the harms of SM if misused, especially among those with chronic health conditions, is essential.

Background: Brucellosis, a zoonotic infection having an important public health issue in endemic countries; Saudi Arabia is one of these countries. The incidence of brucellosis in AlQassim region is much higher than the national one. Evaluation of the epidemiological situation of brucellosis is the first step in prevention and control. The objective was to describe the epidemiological characteristics of brucellosis in Al-Qassim region during the period between 2010 and 2014.Methods:All epidemiological surveillance forms from 2010 to 2014 were analyzed for epidemiological characteristics.Results: There were 4283 notified cases of human brucellosis in AL-Qassim region between 2010 and 2014, the annual incidence decreased from 84.5 to 48.7 per 100,000 populations. The highest number of cases was reported from Uyoon Al-Jawa followed by Buraidah. The number of cases was highest from March to June. and lowest was in November; the male to female ratio was 3:1. Saudis represents 51.1% of cases. The mean age of the cases was 34±15 years; the most common age group was middle age. Shepherds and farmers represent 46.5% of cases. The most common presenting symptoms were fever (79.7%), joint pain (72.7%), and muscle pain (70.9%). The most common antibiotics used as treatment were doxycycline (80.9%) and streptomycin (63.2%). A history of animal contact was the most common risk factor (80.7%), followed by consumption of raw milk (55.6%).Conclusions:There was a marked decrease in the incidence of brucellosis from 2010 to 2014 in the Al-Qassim region. However, continued efforts are needed to eliminate the disease.

Objective: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide. Preventive efforts mainly target the reduction of modifiable CVD risk factors through community-based promotion programs. One of these programs is the National Guard Health Promotion Program for Chronic Diseases and Comorbid Conditions among military personnel in Jeddah City, Saudi Arabia. Researchers have asserted that to improve every intervention program, especially those targeting public health issues, regular monitoring and evaluation are needed to determine the strength and weakness of the program. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of National Guard Health Promotion Program for Chronic Diseases and Comorbid Conditions among military personnel in Jeddah City by estimating Framingham risk score, diabetes risk score, and satisfaction level for the participants covered by the program for at least 6 months. Methods: Through pre- and poststudy design, a systematic random sample of military personnel who fulfilled the inclusion criteria (n = 267) were enrolled in the study. To assess the program's effectiveness, participants were subjected to clinical and laboratory assessment based mainly on Framingham risk scores before and after involvement in the program; satisfaction was assessed concurrently using a self-administered questionnaire. The Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to compare changes in non-normally distributed quantitative variables. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent predictors of risk of CVDs. Results: The subjects were all military men, with mean age of 35.8 ± 6.6 years; 6% officers with the remainder “non-officers” primarily working in the combat services. After at least 6 months of the preventive program, there were statistically significant decreases in body mass index (−0.4 ± 1.5 kg/m2), waist circumference (−0.9 ± 6.2 cm), fasting blood glucose (−12.3 ± 29.6 mg/dL), and total cholesterol (−15.4 ± 40.2 mg/dL). Despite this observed improvement, the overall Framingham risk score showed a modest nonsignificant change (−0.1 ± 2.1 points). Similarly, although specific predictors scores of diabetes mellitus showed significant improvement (decreased blood glucose [−0.4 ± 1.8 points] and increased fruit and vegetable consumption [−0.2 ± 0.6 points]), there was no significant change in the overall diabetes risk score (−0.01 ± 2.5). The majority of the participants (96%) expressed that they were satisfied with the program. Conclusion: The National Guard Health Promotion Program is effective in improving specific risk factors such as body mass index, waist circumference, blood glucose, and intake of fruits and vegetables; in addition, it was perceived as being satisfactory. Nevertheless, it had no statistically significant impact on the overall total risk scores for CVDs and diabetes mellitus.

Perfect implementation of the six priority policies advocated by the MPOWER package is the most important challenge for member states (MS) to reach tobacco control goals.A validated checklist set according to the WHO Report on the Global Tobacco Epidemic was filled out five times based on biannual reports from 2011 to 2019 for 22 MS in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. It contained ten topics including smoking prevalence and seven elements of six MPOWER policies and compliances resulting with possible maximum score of 37. High score indicates better implementation.The total score for the region increased from 416 in 2011 to 509 in 2019. Six countries (27% of the region) had more than 75% of total score, whereas 11 countries were between 50% and 75% and five countries had <50% of total score in 2019. In all five reports, Iran was ranked first in the region even in 2019, when it witnessed a 2 point decrease. Iran held the first place alongside with Pakistan and Saudi Arabia with 32 points. The highest score in the indicators was related to the monitoring, reaching from 35 in 2011 to 59 in 2019. The lowest score increase in the indicators was related to the Smoke-free Policy compliance and the prevalence of consumption, reaching from 18 to 20 and 44-48, respectively, between 2011 and 2019.Although several remarkable achievements have been made regarding tobacco control goals, many policy implementation challenges remain and require urgent action by member states in the Eastern Mediterranean region.

Incense burning such as scented candles are commonly used in Arabian Gulf regions as it is thought to produce relaxing effects on people's mood. This study is conducted to examine the prevalence of scented candles' usage, extent of exposure and its effects on individuals' health based on symptoms prevalence in young university students.A cross-sectional study was conducted on university students from different regions in Saudi Arabia. Data was collected in March 2020 using an online questionnaire survey adapted from The European Community Respiratory Health Survey-II (ECRHS-II). Inclusion criterion for recruitment was students with non-smoking status. Descriptive statistics were used to report demographic data on the extent of exposure to scented candles (in terms of frequency and duration) and the presence of symptoms. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between scented candles exposure and respiratory and other health-related problems.The prevalence of scented candles usage was 65.7% (472/718) among the respondents. However, its pervasiveness was significantly higher in females than in male respondents (74.9% vs. 28.4%; p = 0.0001). Among the scented candle users, 34.8% of the respondents used the scented candles more than 4 times a month and 40.2% of the respondents lit the scented candles for 20-40 min. A total of 117 (24.8%) respondents reported health-related problem and the top three health problems were headache 72 (15.2%), shortness of breath 42 (8.9%) and cough 37 (7.8%). The scented candle usage 5-6 times a week showed significantly lower wheezing (OR = 0.10, 95%CI 0.02-0.54, p = 0.008). The duration of more than 60 min of scented candle exposure showed higher occurrence of headache 1.42 times (95% CI = 0.68-2.96), sneezing 1.29 times (95% CI = 0.42-4.00) and wheezing 1.23 times (95% CI = 0.48-3.13), though the association was not significant.The results show that scented candle usage is more prevalent among female university students in Saudi Arabia. The common health-related problems associated with scented candle exposure were headache, shortness of breath and coughing.

The study aimed to explore the risk factors for MERS-CoV infection and systematic review of knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) with regard to MERS-CoV among the health care workers (HCWs) and the general population. The World Health Organization's MERS-CoV line list (January 2013-January 2020) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) was analysed. A Poisson regression model was used to calculate the univariate relative risk of outcomes to each potential risk factor, p-values and 95% confidence intervals. An electronic literature search was conducted to assess knowledge, attitudes and practices of the HCWs and general population of the KSA, with regards to transmission of the infection, risk factors and preventative measures. The line list analysis shows that age, gender, comorbidity, exposure to camels and camel milk consumption were associated with an increased risk of fatality; however, year-wise analysis did not show any decline. Over the years, the mean durations between the symptom onset and hospitalization; the hospitalization and laboratory confirmation have reduced. The review of literature shows that the health care workers and the general population had inadequate knowledge about MERS-CoV, lacked motivation and were disconnected from the health authorities. The WHO line list provides information on risk factors for MERS-CoV, KAP analysis helps to know the potential underlying factors. The literature review shows that continuous education for HCWs and increasing public awareness can help effectively manage future MERS-CoV.

Background: Frontline healthcare workers (HCWs) are at risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to the nature of their work and, due to the additional stress and mental fatigue brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, this risk has increased significantly. A proper understanding of the risk factors for PTSD in this context is crucial to the development of both preventive and corrective measures that will improve the psychological and emotional health of HCWs and reduce their predisposition to PTSD in the short and long term. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and associated risk factors of PTSD among frontline HCWs in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This cross-sectional survey study examined responses from emergency medical services personnel (paramedics, nurses, and physicians) in eleven large public hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between June 01 and July 01, 2020. The total number of respondents was 613. The PTSD Checklist for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (PCL-5), a self-administered tool, was used to diagnose PTSD. Additionally, demographic factors, such as age, gender, race, marital status, occupation, and years of experience, were identified, and the effects of these factors were assessed using statistical analysis. Results: The results revealed a prevalence of PTSD of 33.4% among participants. The highest prevalence was found among paramedics and nurses, while physicians had the lowest prevalence. The study also found statistically significant differences in PTSD scores based on marital status, job title, and years of experience. Half of the participants were aware of the availability of psychological/emotional support and perceived the process for obtaining that support to be clear and accessible. Conclusion: Frontline healthcare workers are at increased risk of developing PTSD, with the degree of risk significantly associated with marital status, job title, years of experience, and the accessibility of psychological/emotional support. Healthcare organisations within Saudi Arabia and elsewhere should use this information to strengthen their psychological and emotional support systems and reduce the risk of PTSD in their employees.

The use of Twitter data for health-related research has been increasing over time. While the organic nature of the data offer new opportunities, the limited understanding of how and by whom the data are generated poses a challenge for advancing health-related research. Individual-level data linkage could shed light into the data generation mechanism. This paper investigates whether consent to link survey data with Twitter public data is associated with sociodemographic and Twitter use pattern factors and whether consenters and non-consenters differ on health-related outcomes. Data from three health related surveys that use probability samples of the target population were used: 1) A college population web survey in KU Leuven University, 2) An adult population web survey of the US population, and 3) A population face-to-face survey in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). In all surveys, respondents reported whether they have a Twitter account, and Twitter users were asked to provide consent for linking their survey responses to their public Twitter data. Consent rate estimates from the two web surveys in Belgium and the US were 24% and 27% respectively. The face-to-face survey in KSA yielded a higher consent rate of 45%. In general, respondents' sociodemographic characteristics were not significantly associated with consent to link. However, more use of social media and reporting sensitive information in the survey were found to be significantly correlated with higher consent. Consenters and non-consenters were not found to be statistically different on any of the health related measures. Very few differences were found between those who consented to link their survey data with their Twitter public data and those who did not. Modifiable design variables need to be investigated to maximize consent while maintaining balance between consenters and non-consenters.

Hajj is the typical example of a mass gathering. Pilgrims should receive appropriate counselling. Following the late 20th century epidemics, meningococcal ACWY vaccination is obligatory for Saudi Arabia. Respiratory illnesses are frequent and influenza vaccination recommended. Elderly and ill travellers should be aware of the physical constrains during the pilgrimage and the risk of trauma. No epidemic was detected during big sports events, but surveillance is warranted and recommendations need to take local factors into account. Epidemics of influenza and norovirus infections are frequently reported during cruises. Elderly or ill people should be immunized against flu and all tourists should receive adequate counselling on measures of hygiene.

Cancer is a major public health problem in The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The economic prosperity and urbanization alongside healthcare improvements have made significant improvements in healthcare over the past three decades, which resulted in a longer life expectancy. The kingdom implemented initiatives to improve the healthcare system including access to primary and secondary healthcare centres, healthcare workforce, and medical technology. The rapid economic and population growth have, however, happened alongside rapid demographic and socio-economic changes such as increased tobacco use and decreased physical activity, which are expected to influence the prevalence of some types of cancer in KSA. As a result, cancers and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), chronic respiratory diseases, are now the leading cause of death and responsible for 73 % of all deaths replacing infectious diseases as a leading cause of death in last 30 years. Cancer incidence and prevalence are projected to double by 2030 in the KSA, causing a surge in health care costs and placing an economic burden. This paper highlights the challenges facing primary cancer prevention measures in KSA that will be needed to reduce exposure to risk factors and the actions needed to monitor the outcomes of cancer care.

Introduction Childhood obesity is a public health concern globally. In Arab countries, the prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased significantly over the last three decades. The level of childhood overweight and obesity in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is high and continues to increase. This study will explore factors associated with overweight and obesity among adolescents and identify barriers and enablers to the implementation of comprehensive school-based obesity prevention interventions. Methods and analysis Socioecological model will inform this mixed-methods study. The study will include three phases: (1) a scoping review of the literature; (2) the development of a student survey instrument and (3) a mixed-method study comprising a cross-sectional survey targeting students aged 12–15 years with the collection of the students’ height and weight measurements; one-on-one interviews with physical education teachers and school principals; and the administration of school climate audits using the Health Promoting School framework. Reliability and validity of the survey instrument will be examined during survey development. Descriptive, inferential and thematic analysis will be employed using appropriate statistical software. Ethics and dissemination Ethical approval has been granted from the Curtin University of Human Research Ethics Committee (HR2020-0337) and from the KSA Ministry of Education (4181827686). School principals will provide permission to conduct the study in individual schools. Individual consent/assent will be obtained from students and their parents, and teachers. Study findings will be disseminated via peer-review publications, reports and conferences.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant influence on education systems, educational environments, teachers, and students. This study aims to assess the satisfaction with, adherence to, and perspectives toward COVID-19 preventive measures among public health students in Jazan, Saudi Arabia in order to enhance their campus experience. This study utilized a cross-sectional methodology. Data were collected using convenience sampling between 2–19 November 2020; this was accomplished using an online survey administered via Google Forms. The final sample consisted of 200 participants. More than half of the participants (55.0%) were dissatisfied with the preventive measures that had been applied on campus, while 19.0% had a neutral outlook. Interestingly, female participants showed a higher level of dissatisfaction toward the preventive measures (70.6%) than male participants (43.5%). The ordinal logistic regression analysis revealed a significant correlation between the degree of satisfaction with the COVID-19 preventive measures and the participant’s gender and education level. Male students were more likely to be satisfied with the preventive measures (p < 0.029, OR = 2.199) than female students. In addition, final year students were 4.1 times more likely to be satisfied with the COVID-19 preventive measures (p < 0.004, OR = 0.242) than Year 2 students, and 6.2 times more likely to be satisfied (p ≤ 0.001, OR = 0.162) than Year 3 students. Efforts are needed to improve the students’ satisfaction with COVID-19 preventive measures. Steps are also required to ensure that the procedures and actions introduced by the college extend to all students. In addition, further research is needed to recognize and understand the participants’ experiences after moving to the new buildings, receiving COVID-19 vaccines, and returning to on campus study.

A major component of illness burden is role impairment. As part of the recently-completed Saudi National Mental Health Survey (SNMHS), we compare the number of days out of role in the Saudi population associated with ten core mental disorders assessed in the survey to those associated with ten commonly occurring chronic physical disorders.The SNMHS was a household survey that assessed prevalence of ten common anxiety, mood, disruptive behavior, and eating disorders in a nationally representative sample of n = 1981 citizens of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) ages 15-65. Comparison information was obtained on prevalence of ten common chronic physical disorders and number of health-related days out of role (DOR) in the 30 days before interview. Generalized linear models were used to examine univariate and multivariable associations of disorders with DOR and to calculate population attributable risk (PAR) separately and overall for the disorders controlling for socio-demographics.19.9% of respondents had one or more of the selected mental disorders and 47.1% had one or more of the selected physical disorders. Nine mental disorders and two physical disorders were associated with increased DOR. PAR was 32.9% for mental disorders, 27.0% for physical disorders, and 59.9% for both combined.Mental disorders are associated with a substantial proportion of all health-related DOR in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Programs to detect and treat mental disorders might lead to substantially decreased role impairment in the Kingdom.

The challenges posed by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic have required the introduction of new care delivery models and procedures. For the foreseeable future, vaccine administration will be a key part of the patient experience journey. It is important therefore to understand and evaluate experiences of individuals taking the vaccination, an area which requires considerable attention. To address this, the COVID-19 Vaccination Satisfaction survey was developed and administered at several healthcare facilities across Saudi Arabia. Between January 2021 and end of December 2021, a total of 1,699,177 completed surveys were collected. The survey results suggest high satisfaction among participants taking the vaccine; however, satisfaction with information and communication about the vaccine was relatively low. Results from this survey are updated daily and provide unique insights into the key strengths of the vaccination process, as well as aspects within the process that require improvement.

Emergency department (ED) crowding has become a major barrier to receiving timely care. King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Center, Saudi Arabia worked on identifying evidence based strategies for reducing the ED crowding by improving the intake. In addition to a review of literature, qualitative survey methods were used to identify strategies, which were classified into 10 suggested procedures categorized into three types of changes. Physical improvements include using physician cubicles, creating a team triage area and an internal waiting area for less acute patients instead of occupying beds. Technology improvements; include using informatics to update the electronic emergency record with information, using palmar scanning to instantly identify patients and using radio communication devices. Process improvements; include a scribe program to decrease clerical documentation tasks, switching between low flow and high flow processes, placing a physician in triage and using patient segmentation methods.

In 1984, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) began surveillance for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) incidence and prevalence. However, no culturally-appropriate standardized questionnaire has been developed to measure HIV prevention knowledge in this population. Evidence exists that married Saudi women are especially at higher risk for infection, but lack knowledge of HIV modes of transmission and underestimate their personal risk of becoming infected. The objective of this paper is to present a critical review of existing HIV knowledge measurement tools developed for the KSA and other Arabian Peninsula populations, and to utilize this review to guide the development of a culturally- and gender-sensitive tool. Studies included were in English reporting results of a quantitative survey instrument as either an interview or self-reported questionnaire with questions about knowledge of HIV or AIDS. Surveys must have been given in English or Arabic, and must have been done in a population in the KSA or the Arabian Peninsula. The following data sources were searched for eligible studies: Google Scholar, Google Web, PubMed, PLoS, WHO publications, UN publications, news, and other peer-reviewed publication databases. Sixteen articles met criteria, and of these, 10 (63 %) were conducted in a KSA population, and a majority of the articles studied students of primary, secondary, or post-secondary schools (n = 9, 56 %). Five studies included only men, while the other 11 included both sexes. The KSA’s public health goals should more specifically focus on measuring and improving knowledge in high-risk populations such as married women—an option currently limited by commonly available measurement instruments.
