The world has been facing an unprecedented pandemic of COVID-19 with over 336 million people infected and millions of deaths. This required an enormous communication effort response from governments, international, and individuals to keep the public informed about the outbreak. When a pandemic affects communities, individuals' knowledge and attitude are important factors to contain the outbreak. Thus, the purpose of this study is to measure individuals' knowledge and attitude toward COVID-19 and ascertain whether a need exists for mental health services for those who were affected by the pandemic.A cross-sectional design was used to measure the knowledge, attitude, and psychological impacts about the COVID-19 pandemic among the Saudi population. Research participants were recruited using a snowball sampling technique through the social media platform WhatsApp. A total of 482 eligible individuals participated from various locations in Saudi Arabia represented almost all Saudi regions. The questionnaire consisted of seven questions evaluating knowledge, seven gauging attitudes, and 16 questions assessing anxiety and perceived need for mental healthcare services.A modest level of knowledge (59%) was found among the Saudi population sampled about the COVID-19 pandemic, and satisfactory knowledge (>80%) about its preventive measures. Anxiety and stress existed among the participants (79% obsessed with COVID-19), with an 88% approval rate for obtaining mental health services for individuals highly affected by the pandemic.There is a need to increase awareness and provide continuous updates regarding the pandemic situation. Promoting access to mental health services is critical, as well as finding creative and suitable strategies to deliver mental health services to those who need them.

Background : Although drug abuse is a major public health problem worldwide, there is a dearth of epidemiological and clinical data in rapidly developing countries of the Arabian Gulf. This research aims to describe sociodemography, epidemiology and pattern of drug abuse in psychiatric population. Method : The basic clinicoepidemiological information on 423 patients with drug abuse drawn from two mental health facilities in Al-Qassim region, Central Saudi Arabia. Results : Most of the studied patients were unmarried, unemployed, young adult smokers with low level of education who at very young age abused alcohol first, followed by amphetamines. A proportion of patients were abusing multiple drugs while, on long term basis, alcohol was the most consistently abused drug. Peer influence followed by pleasure and curiosity were the most important factors in introducing, initiating and maintaining the drug abuse by the patients themselves. More than a quarter of patients had mood and anxiety disorders. Drug addiction affected adversely the life style of these patients as most of them showed episodes of violent behavior, neglected prayers, spent lots of money and adopted criminal ways for obtaining drugs and did not use leisure time positively. Patients also presented with multiple associated biopsychosocial problems and treatment difficulties including relapses, which were the major driving forces for seeking treatment in specialized hospitals. Conclusion : It is concluded that the drug-abusers have certain epidemiological, clinical and drug patterns. There are several drug-associated problems that should be appreciated and addressed by the assessing clinicians. Likewise, it is also recommended that concerned authorities and planners must integrate their efforts for establishing comprehensive strategies on the preventive, therapeutic and rehabilitation aspects of drug addiction now considered a chronic, relapsing brain disease.

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has scattered globally across the world leaving millions infected and hundreds of thousands of dead. Immunization programs appeared to be the only effective strategy to end the pandemic which is achieved when there are high rates of acceptance and coverage. To achieve that, it is important to realize Saudis’ concept and risk perceptions about COVID-19, and acceptance of a COVID-19 vaccine. Aim: to assess public willingness and preparedness with their attitude to receive COVID-19 vaccine in Saudi Arabia. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted targeting all available population in Saudi Arabia. Data were collected from participants using pre-structured electronic questionnaire. The questionnaire included the following data: participants socio-demographic data information regarding covid-19 experience and infection among participants. The last section covered items of participants’ intention to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Results: The study included 2,227 participants whose ages ranged from 18 to 62 years old with mean age of 31.7 ± 11.3 years old. Exactly 70.2% of the participants were females and 48.4% were single. Exactly 26.2% had chronic health problems. About 60% of the participants reported their agreement to have the covid-19 vaccine if available. The most reported causes for refusing taking the vaccine for those who refused, were fear of side effects (66.7%), followed by fear of safety issue (49.4%), and fear of efficacy issue (32.4%). More than half (57.3%) of the respondents agreed that Vaccination is a good idea because it makes them feel less anxious about getting COVID-19 infection. Also, 60.4% agreed that vaccination reduces my chances of catching COVID-19 or its complications. Conclusions: In conclusion, the study revealed that acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine in Saudi Arabia is somewhat good but not sufficient to have the recommended herd immunity. It is affected by the effectiveness of the vaccine, safety of the vaccine, being taken by others, and history of getting infection or experienced death due to covid-19. Key words: Covid-19, corona virus, vaccine, willing, acceptance, attitude, population, barriers, determinants

Saudi Arabia is one of the countries seriously affected by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) worldwide. With a few cases in early March, the daily spread of this disease increased to nearly 5000 at one point in time during the first wave to mid-June 2020. With committed efforts and public health interventions, it has been controlled to nearly 1000 by the end of August 2020 and less than 217 by November 28, 2020; thereafter, reporting declines and small increases. However, by December 2021, a third wave started, lasting for 2 months, during which the infection rate increased rapidly. By April 1, 2022, the number of infected persons in the country was 750,998, with 9047 deaths, 7131 active, and approximately 400 critical cases. This analysis of COVID-19 statistics of the Ministry of Health of Saudi Arabia (March 2020-April 2022) is carried out along with population data to extract patient proportions per 100,000 persons to illustrate the hypothesized social and community impact, which influences families and households.The results showed a high rate of infection and mortality, but with recovery. These rates varied across localities and cities. A few cities with higher population densities are less affected by the spread of the epidemic. However, few localities and upcoming cities/townships were severely affected. These effects are explained as the percentage of the population affected, which exposes the impact on societies, families, and individual members. With concerted efforts, they are brought under control through recovery and adopting mitigation methods.Localities could be classified into four categories based on the proportion of the infected population: rapidly increasing, moderately increasing, declining, and stabilizing. Moreover, differential proportions of the affected population have implications at social and familial levels. Analysis and understanding of these trends, considering the base population, are important for policy building and intervention strategies accounting for grassroots-level demographics, which might serve as a tool to enhance interventions at population and family levels. Strategies for awareness creation and compassionate care are essential to address the psychosocial impact of health emergencies, as proved by the Ministry of Health, Saudi Arabia.

Oral health promotion (OHP) is a crucial aspect of dental care, as it aims to improve and protect oral health of individuals. This study aimed to qualitatively explore views of oral health providers in Jazan, Saudi Arabia, on their perceptions of their responsibilities for OHP, as well as the barriers and potential opportunities for implementing health promotion in dental practice.A convenience sample of 11 oral health providers from Ministry of Health (MOH) facilities were recruited and participated in virtual one-on-one semi-structured interviews, which were transcribed and analyzed using inductive thematic analysis with N-Vivo software.The results showed that the providers recognized the significant role and responsibility of OHP in improving oral health. However, several barriers hindered their OHP efforts, including a lack of training, funding, time, and a lack of interest in OHP. Potential opportunities for improvement included increasing recruitment of new oral health providers and educators, developing more training programs for providers and the community, and expanding support in terms of finances and logistics.The findings of the study suggest that oral health providers are aware of OHP, but that both patients and organizations will need to shift their behaviours and perspectives for OHP to be successfully implemented. Further research on OHP in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is needed to validate these findings.

Abstract Objective Epidemiological studies on the prevalence of elevated depression symptoms among female adolescents in Saudi Arabia report a wide variation, ranging from 13.9% to 80.2%. However, different methods of assessment and sampling have been used. The aim of the current study is to estimate the prevalence of elevated depression symptoms amongst female adolescents in Saudi Arabia using a gold‐standard self‐report measure, the Mood and Feelings Questionnaire (MFQ). Design and Measures A cross‐sectional study was conducted with 515 female students aged 13−18 years, recruited from public schools. Participants completed the Arabic versions of the MFQ, Rosenberg Self‐Esteem Scale and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. Results Mean MFQ score for this sample was 26.35 and almost half of participants (48.2%) had scores above the cut‐off. Severity of depression varied with age, with those aged 13 showing reduced symptoms, and was negatively correlated with self‐esteem and perceived social support. There were no associations with other demographic factors. Conclusion Elevated levels of depression symptoms were common in this sample. This highlights the need to improve public mental health in this community and to improve methods of identifying and treating depression in female adolescents.

Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection is endemic in developing countries and remains a public health problem elsewhere. This study was conducted to investigate an outbreak of HAV infection, which occurred during a period of almost 5 months (January-May 1996) in the National Guard Iskan (Housing Authority) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Ninety four cases were found to be positive for IgM antibody to HAV. A case control study was done to identify possible risk factors. For every case, 3 controls have been selected from the same household matched for age and sex. Information about reported cases was obtained by attending physicians through an interview questionnaire from adult cases and parents of young cases and controls (<12 y). It included questions regarding symptoms, demographics and possible source of the infection. Results showed that the attack rate of the whole population was 1.03 %, while that for children <10 years was twofold higher (2.05 %) than the total population. The risk of acquiring infection among them was found to be five times that among those aged 40 years and higher (R.R=5.32). There was a lack of association between developing hepatitis A and any of the food items or milk used in the studied area during the time of the outbreak. On the other hand exposure to irrigation water among cases was found to be significantly higher than among controls especially among children below 10 years (O.R=2.26). Analysis of the available data suggests a strong association between illness and exposure to waste water used for irrigation of gardens through playing with it, or through occasional drinking especially among children below 10 years. The prolonged course of the outbreak (5 months) may be attributed to subsequent person to person transmission from index cases to intimate contacts especially among the same household.

PURPOSE: To estimate the prevalence of allergic conjunctivitis (AC) and its related allergic ailments among Saudi adults in the western region.METHODS: Adult population of Taif, Makkah, and Jeddah cities was surveyed from 2017 to June 2018. Subjective questionnaire was used to collect the response. Participants were asked about symptoms (redness, itching, watering, based diagnosis and details of AC, treatment taken in the pasts, and associated conditions, such as allergic asthma and rhinitis). The age-sex-adjusted prevalence, its determinants, and associations to other ailments were assessed.RESULTS: We surveyed 2187 participants (mean age 26.0 ± 9.1 years). The age-sex-adjusted prevalence of AC was 70.5% (95% confidence interval [CI] 68.6–72.4). There could be 2.1 million AC patients among 3.1 million adult populations in Western KSA. It was significantly higher in females compared to males (odds ratio [OR] = 1.7 [95% CI 1.4–2.2]). The risk of AC did not vary by age group (χ2 = 2.5, df = 3, P = 0.1). The variation of AC in three provinces was not significant (χ2 = 0.3, df = 3, P = 0.6). Dust (42.6%) and unknown (24.8%) allergens were the main causative agents of AC. AC was significantly associated to asthma (OR = 2.8) and allergic rhinitis (OR = 2.2).CONCLUSION: AC affects seven in ten adults in Western Saudi Arabia. AC is positively associated to allergic rhinitis and bronchial asthma. Public health policies at primary eye-care level should focus on early detection and care of persons with AC.

Dengue is an important global arboviral disease with expanding geographical range. It is a major public health concern in Western Saudi Arabia since its first detection in the city of Jeddah in 1994. In this retrospective study, we examined dengue incidence among febrile patients suspected for acute dengue infection at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah from 2010 to 2014 and we tried to determine the effect of climate factors on dengue incidence in the city. Acute dengue incidence rates among clinically suspected patients showed annual variation with a range from 29.3% to 57%. Male gender and 11–30 years age range were found to be risk factors for dengue infection in Jeddah. While dengue infections can be detected throughout the year, most cases occurred between March and July with peaks in May and June. Seasonality of dengue was found to be significantly associated with the decrease in relative humidity and increase in temperature within the range of ∼25 °C to ∼33 °C but not extremely hot temperatures. Moreover, we found that rainfall during winter (November to February) has a significant lag effect on dengue infection among febrile patients in the city. Jeddah is the second largest city in Saudi Arabia and a major hub for pilgrims because of its close proximity to the holy sites in the Kingdom. The observed high rates of acute dengue infections clearly show the endemicity of dengue in Jeddah. The observed higher incidence rates at young age are expected to cause an increase in severe dengue cases in the future especially that multiple dengue serotypes are co-circulating in the city. Furthermore, the significant association between the different climate factors and dengue and their impact on the disease seasonality should help in the effort to implement effective control and management measures to reduce dengue burden in the Kingdom.

Although women in the field of biomedical informatics (BMI) are part of a golden era, little is known about their lived experiences as informaticians. Guided by feminist standpoint theory, this study aims to understand the impact of social change in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia- in the form of new policies supporting women and health technological advancements-in the field of BMI and its women informaticians.We conducted semistructured telephone interviews with 7 women managers in the field of BMI, identified through LinkedIn. We analyzed interview transcripts to generate themes about their lived experiences, how they perceived health information technology tools, identified challenges that may hinder the advancement of the field, and explored the future of BMI from their perspectives. During our analysis, we utilized a feminist theoretical approach.Women managers in the field of BMI shared similar experiences and perspectives. Our analysis generated 10 themes: (1) career beginning, (2) opportunities given, (3) career achievements, (4) gender-based experiences, (5) meaning of BMI, (6) meaning of health information technology tools, (7) challenges, (8) overcoming challenges, (9) future and hopes, and (10) meaning of "2030 Saudi vision." Early in their careers, participants experienced limited opportunities and misperceptions in understanding what the field of informatics represents. Participants did not feel that gender was an issue, despite what feminist theory would have predicted.Recognizing the lived experiences of women in the field of BMI contributes to our collective understanding of how these experiences may enhance our knowledge of the field.

Improper storage and disposal of medications potentially pose a significant risk to both humans and animals. It also increases the economic burden to the society. The objective of this study was to investigate the storage and disposal habits of medications among the public of Saudi Arabia. The common place for storage for most of the medications was the fridge, followed by bedroom, kitchen, living room, and bathroom. An average of one to five unused medications were stored inside the house in Saudi. Antipyretic, pain medications and cough medications were the most common stored medications. Furthermore, we attempt to endorse the guidelines by the Food and Drug Administration for the best disposal practices.

Human behavior is influenced by people's knowledge and perceptions (1).Objective: To assess knowledge and perceptions about COVID-19 among a convenience sample of the general public in the United States and United Kingdom.Methods and Findings: This study is a cross-sectional survey conducted on an online platform managed by Prolific Academic Ltd. The platform's pool of participants numbers approximately 80 000 individuals, of whom approximately 43% reside in the United Kingdom and 33% in the United States (2). For this study, Prolific selected a convenience sample of 3000 participants residing in the United States and 3000 participants residing in the United Kingdom who were chosen to have approximately the same distribution of age, sex, and ethnicity (and each combination thereof) as the U.S. and U.K. general population (by using numbers from the last census in each country). Specifically, Prolific established population strata (Table 1) with a predetermined number of open slots into which eligible participants in the online pool could enroll on a first-come, first-served basis.Table 1. Sample CharacteristicsParticipants, who had to have indicated that they were fluent in English, received US$1.50 for completing the survey. They completed the online questionnaire between 23 February and 2 March 2020. The questionnaire (Supplement) consisted of 22 questions on knowledge and perceptions of COVID-19, including specific questions about “myths” or falsehoods listed on the World Health Organization's “myth busters” website (3).To summarize the survey findings, I dichotomized categorical variables and computed the median and interquartile range for continuous variables. For binomial proportions, I used a score interval (Wilson score interval without continuity correction [4]) to construct a 95% CI. No sampling weights were used given that this was not a probabilistic sample.In total, 2986 and 2988 adults residing in the United States and United Kingdom, respectively, completed the questionnaire. Participants' sociodemographic characteristics are shown in Table 1. Although participants generally had good knowledge of the main mode of disease transmission and common symptoms, the survey identified several important misconceptions on how to prevent acquisition of COVID-19, including beliefs in falsehoods that have circulated on social media (Table 2). A substantial proportion of participants also expressed an intent to discriminate against individuals of East Asian ethnicity for fear of acquiring COVID-19. A more detailed analysis and visualization of all survey responses are available (5).Table 2. Summary of Survey FindingsDiscussion: The findings of this study could be used to set priorities in information campaigns on COVID-19 by public health authorities and the media. Such information provision could, for instance, emphasize the comparatively low case-fatality rate, the recommended care-seeking behavior, the low risk posed by individuals of East Asian ethnicity living in the United States and United Kingdom, and that children appear to be at a lower risk for a fatal disease course than adults. In addition, to ensure that individuals focus their attention on those prevention measures that are most effective, this study suggests that it will be important to inform the public about the comparative effectiveness of common surgical masks versus frequent and thorough handwashing and avoiding close contact with people who are sick.This study has several limitations. First and foremost, given that participants had to have both chosen to register with Prolific and to take the survey at the time it was published, this convenience sample of adults is unlikely to be representative of the general U.S. and U.K. population. The generalizability of the findings is, therefore, limited. Second, it is possible that some participants may have randomly selected responses to spend the least amount of time to earn the $1.50 reward. I believe this is unlikely to be an important source of bias because only 2 participants (who were excluded from the analysis) completed the survey in under 2 minutes (while it was physically possible to complete it in well under 90 seconds), there was no bimodal distribution in the time taken to complete the survey, and $1.50 is a relatively small monetary incentive. Third, it is possible that participants looked up the answers to some of the questions online before answering. Participants were asked at the end of the survey (while being reassured that their payment was not influenced by their response) for which, if any, questions they searched for an answer online. These responses were set to missing in the analysis.In conclusion, the general public in the United States and United Kingdom appears to have important misconceptions about COVID-19. Correcting these misconceptions should be targeted in information campaigns organized by government agencies, information provision by clinicians to their patients, and media coverage.References1.

SingHealth Community Hospitals, Singapore 2. Hospital Sultanah Aminah Johor, Malaysia5 April 2020 Dynamicity of Knowledge and Perception of Public on COVID-19 We read with interest the survey conducted by Geldsetzer [1] on the public’s general knowledge and perception on COVID-19. One of the most striking concerns was found in the subscale of the current state of the disease whereby estimation of number of death in US/UK given by the majority was less than 500. It is very likely that this survey was done during the epidemic when the cases outside China was not alarming enough for the public in both countries to be adequately concerned. Prospectively, even before the day WHO declared this as virus as pandemic; the numbers of affected and succumbed victim has been doubling in every few days for many countries, showing no signs of slowing down since. Today the death tolls reported in US and UK has exceeded 8400 and 4300 respectively [2]. These numbers surpassed the deaths in China, the first affected epicentre. Given the crisis situation now in both countries, it would be interesting if the same survey is to be conducted again to know the public’s latest understanding. The healthcare-seeking behaviour could have been changed by now that the public is more informed presently than before through the media. Likewise, change is also likely to be noticed in the perception and behaviour in the preventive subscales such as mask-wearing, and measures government would take. It is with great effort that the survey captured the perceived risk imposed by East Asia community. Although the fatality from COVID-19 has been severely underestimated, a significant proportion of the responders would want to avoid contact (direct, and indirectly via parcel received) with the East Asia community. While it may beyond the scope of the survey to expound the reasons behind the perceived risk, future studies could look into this issue. It is important to address and mitigate fear before it ripples into xenophobia and social stigma [3, 4].Qualitative and narrative documentation of the public’s perception can also help in understanding readiness to cooperate with measurements placed by the authorities, their coping strategies, and challenges faced.It will be also helpful if the knowledge and perception of COVID-19 of the public outside the world’s biggest English-speaking community is made available.

The sensitivity of CoVid-19 PCR throat and nasal swabs has been reported as ranging between 30 and 73%, which means that only 30-73% of the people with CoVid-19 will test positive [1,2] - at least initially. Part of the reason for this is the inclusion of people with low probability of having CoVid-19. The likelihood of these tests having a greater positive predictive value (PPV), and therefore being more meaningful, increases as we limit the use of this tool to those who are more likely to have CoVid-19, rather than merely testing everyone.Testing everyone might make people feel safer, but it will only reduce the PPV of this screening test while providing misinformation and decreasing the sensitivity and specificity of CoVid-19 screening. By focusing our screening on those who present with symptoms consistent with CoVid-19, we will reduce the numbers of errors made by screening for CoVid-19 and increase the accuracy and our understanding of CoVid-19; including the associated morbidity and mortality.The greatest concern for most people is not acquiring CoVid-19 - but dying from CVP. With multiple potential treatments being recommended, and with no prior evidence to direct our treatment of patients, it is critical that we quantify the treatment response [3,4] to determine which treatment is best tolerated - thereby saving time, money, resources and lives.

Stephen Thomas Green, Lorenzo CladiUniversity of Sheffield28 June 2020 Covid-19: Governments must ensure that national & international Public Health & Epidemiology Services are adequately resourced & fit for purpose Geldsetzer‘s survey conducted across both the USA & the UK has produced data of potentially enormous public health & epidemiological value in the battle against covid-19. (1) However, such data is only of practical value if there is a functioning public health & epidemiology service in place to analyse, interpret, & act upon it. Unfortunately, covid-19’s appearance in December 2019 took place against a worldwide background of years of serious disinvestment in many aspects of public health medicine & epidemiology. Repeated budget cuts in both the USA & UK have over time badly damaged essential elements of the capacity to respond effectively to life-threatening infectious diseases, such as pandemic preparation, (2,3) contact tracing & testing. (4) For example, that a decade of budget cuts in the UK had resulted in “disempowered & fragmented infrastructures of its public health system” has been remarked upon with dismay. (5) According to the Terence Higgins Trust, “Local authority public health grant funding…(has been)…cut by £700 million in real terms between 2014/15 & 2019/20, & delivering the public health functions is now unsustainable with current funding.” (6) With respect to resources of direct value in the struggle to roll back covid-19, prior to March 12 2020 - when widespread community tracing was stopped by the UK government - there were, across the entirety of England (population 56 million), just 290 individuals employed to undertake contact tracing for Public Health England health protection teams.(7) Since then, & under severe media pressure, Westminster politicians hastily promised 18,000 more recruits, although that recruitment process has been progressing slowly. (8) Things don’t seem to be all that much better in the USA, if at all, with substantial cuts to public health funding having been proposed for 2021, (9) this coming on a background of an existing deficit of more than 250,000 public health workers. (10) In 2018, an axe was taken to the NSC pandemic preparedness teams & the CDC’s ability to work effectively on preventive work in many countries outside of the USA. (11) At the time of writing, the USA had sadly sustained over 130,000 deaths caused by covid-19 & the UK over 43,000. (12) For any surveillance & prevention system to be able to perform properly, all the essential elements need to be present & functioning, & the systems in different sovereign states across the world certainly need to be in a position to cooperate & to synergise. Sadly the collection of data, however high the quality, is not enough by itself to take the fight against covid-19 forward. There is no question that adequate & reliable investment in the right places by governments is absolutely essential.

COVID-19 pandemic influenced the environment, animal health, and food security. Due to reduced human mobility, the air and water quality increased. Other environmental consequences were the personal protective types of equipment and their haphazard disposal. Atmospheric pollution could be a cofactor leading to an increased COVID-19 mortality rate. Lockdown, however, caused a reduction in air and water pollution. Noise pollution affects the health of individuals and communities in terms of cardiovascular disorders and sleeping problems. Meanwhile, the COVID-19 lockdown controls human activities that reduce noise pollution. Municipal waste affects the environment. Recycling has been reduced in some countries but not in Saudi Arabia. COVID-19 had a drastic effect on livestock production on national, regional, and global levels, affecting countries' capacities to prevent and control diseases of animals and increasing global poverty, becoming a threat to the sustainability of global food security and safety. Many lessons have been learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, so it is wise to study and analyze the previous lessons and shed some light on past pandemics such as the Spanish flu to understand the readings and earn experiences. This paper is focused on the interaction between the pandemic and environmental health from the public health concern rather than other health classifications.

One of the most effective measures regarding improving women's health is to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between health-promoting behaviors and sleep quality among a sample of Saudi menopausal women.A descriptive cross-sectional study was used to collect data from 410 Saudi postmenopausal women visiting primary healthcare care centers located in Sakaka, Jouf, Saudi Arabia, using the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS), Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLPII) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).The mean age of the study participants was 52.60 ± 4.65 years, the study findings highlighted that among all the HPLP domains, the highest mean score was observed for spiritual growth (24.00 ± 6.60) whereas the lowest score was observed for physical activity (16.18 ± 1.8). Statistically significant negative relations between the total score of HPLP and sleep quality score and menopausal symptoms (p < 0.001, p < 0.005), respectively. Total scores of lifestyle, health responsibility, and stress management were significant differences between participants with good and poor sleep quality. Being overweight/obese, physically inactive, having a chronic illness and poor sleep quality were predictors influencing health-promoting behavior.Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II was more obvious in the good sleeper in form of health responsibility and stress management. Being overweight and or obese, having a chronic illness, and having poor sleep quality were the significant factors influencing health-promoting behaviors. Designing and performing educational interventional plans are crucial to create motivation toward a healthy lifestyle and improve the quality of their sleep.

Alkhurma hemorrhagic fever (AHF) is a viral infection recently described in Saudi Arabia, associated in severe forms with severe hemorrhagic and neurologic manifestations. Mortality in hospitalized patients varies between 1 and 20%. Recent laboratory confirmation of the disease in tourists visiting Egypt extends the geographical range of the virus and suggests that infections due to AHF virus, a tick-borne flavivirus, are underreported. The persistence of the virus within the tick population (vertical and horizontal transmission such as co-feeding) and the role of livestock infection in the transmission of the virus to humans are unknown. Their understanding will have great implications on public health, prophylaxis, and health education measures.

In the second week of September 2015, health ministers from across the world converged in Seoul, Korea for the 2nd high level deliberations on Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA).

The recent large outbreak of MERS-CoV in hospitals in Seoul, Korea and subsequent spillover to China was unprecedented as the largest outbreak outside the Middle East.9Rougeron V. Sam I.C. Caron M. Nkoghe D. Leroy E. Roques P.

These are all complex challenges that detection of even one case can overwhelm any health systems and adversely affect the economic security of affected countries. Although the comprehensive Hajj Health Care and Emergency Management system of Saudi Arabia is well positioned to cope with known types of threats and related case management10Memish Z.A. Zumla A. Alhakeem R.F. Assiri A. Turkestani A. Al Harby K.D. et al.Hajj: infectious disease surveillance and control.Lancet. 2014 Jun 14; 383: 2073-2082Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (224) Google Scholar, they are unlikely to detect any incubating transmissions that occurred among pilgrims that remain asymptomatic during the pilgrims stay in KSA. Although current GHSA is yet to specifically highlight mass gathering preparedness as a strategic priority even in countries with high participant contribution to mass gatherings, the 12 Global Health Security Agenda action packages and the strategies to minimize the implications of mass gathering on public health are similar. The risk of infectious disease transmission during a mass gathering is the same or even more as the risk of transmission that prevails in any one of the home or host countries of mass gathering participants. During the world health Assembly 67, a side event took place to launch the lancet series on Mass Gathering Medicine in May 21, 2014 (Figure 1). Mass-gatherings are held for various purposes including religious rituals, sports activities, or festivals and therefore the demographics, risks, and the intensity of activities vary. Further, the risks are exacerbated during mass gatherings such as the Hajj for airborne, droplet, and body fluid-related transmission due to the absence of social distancing among participants; increased susceptibility due to stress, lack of sleep, and changing nutritional factors during peak events; disruption of medications among persons with chronic debilitating diseases; and participation in some of the rituals such as animal sacrifices or the practice of scalp hair shaving practices by self-help groups using unsterile blades rather than in regulated barber shops. Given that two-thirds of the emerging diseases are zoonotic, human-animal interaction during some mass gatherings such as the Hajj further increases the risk, and Saudi Arabia imports sacrifice animals from 6 countries. Thus, except for vaccine preventable diseases, perfection of disease control strategies in one or few countries alone including in the host country may not offer blanket protection from all types of disease transmission dynamics for epidemic prone disease agents present in any one of the countries. The impact of these challenges on public health during mass gatherings can be minimized by two strategies. First, each of the countries that participate in a mass gathering should have alert systems in place to identify diseases of transmission-potential during a mass gathering, control measures in place to avoid the exportation of such risks, and reduce the participation of individuals at risk increased risk for disease acquisition. For GHSA1Global Health- Global Health Security Agenda. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, US Department of Health and Human Services, Atlanta, GA, USA. http://www.cdc.gov/globalhealth/security/ghsagenda.htm. Accessed on September 6, 2015.Google Scholar, this relates to adequate syndromic- and agent-based surveillance, laboratory enhancements, and reporting systems and risk communication managed by adequately trained workforce including one epidemiologist for a population of 200,000. Furthermore, countries participating in mass gatherings should have public emergency preparedness in response mode and adequate surge capacity to be able to respond to potential emergencies from participants returning from mass gatherings. Existence of a public health emergency operations center with sufficient pool of response manpower and medical countermeasures available will be critical. This can only be functional if relevant a national public health preparedness policies and authorities are in place to coordinate a response with diverse organizational entities such as the ministries of aviation, defense, interior, and health. Of note, moving from challenges to disease detection opportunities, it is worth noting that mass gatherings provide an unexploited opportunity as an one-stop surveillance venue to monitor emerging disease threats or existing threats of significance in multiple countries. Health examinations and specimen collection is routine for Hajj pilgrims prior to departure in their home countries and arrival airports in Saudi Arabia conduct health screenings. Additional surveillance programs using rapid detection tests can be implemented in home and host countries of mass gatherings. Furthermore, the Hajj emergency health management system operates a network of health facilities with electronic data management systems that can conduct syndromic- and agent-based surveillance on symptomatic individuals who seek care (about 500,000 pilgrims on average during each Hajj) (10)– deliverables that correspond well with the objectives outlined in the GHSA1Global Health- Global Health Security Agenda. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, US Department of Health and Human Services, Atlanta, GA, USA. http://www.cdc.gov/globalhealth/security/ghsagenda.htm. Accessed on September 6, 2015.Google Scholar. In summary, it is imperative that opportunities presented by the GHSA in the first round of 17 countries chosen for immediate implementation by the U.S. Government1Global Health- Global Health Security Agenda. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, US Department of Health and Human Services, Atlanta, GA, USA. http://www.cdc.gov/globalhealth/security/ghsagenda.htm. Accessed on September 6, 2015.Google Scholar, and future beneficiary countries of the GHSA prioritize and program funding and activities that specifically address mass gathering preparedness in addition to sustained routine activities. We now have the knowledge that the world did not have during the 1957 Hajj and influenza transmission. As the search for vaccines and treatment continue for these novel challenges, first and foremost priority for the global community is to minimize the effects of emerging threats during mass gatherings would be to activate public health emergency management capacities before, during and after these mass gatherings of significance. Mass gatherings offer opportunities to implement, test, and assess GHSA objectives in its entirety and can contribute significantly to health security of individuals, nations, and the world.

Reinfection and reactivation of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have recently raised public health pressing concerns in the fight against the current pandemic globally. In this study, we propose a new dynamic model to study the transmission of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The model incorporates possible relapse, reinfection and environmental contribution to assess the combined effects on the overall transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2. The model's local asymptotic stability is analyzed qualitatively. We derive the formula for the basic reproduction number ( R0 ) and final size epidemic relation, which are vital epidemiological quantities that are used to reveal disease transmission status and guide control strategies. Furthermore, the model is validated using the COVID-19 reported situations in Saudi Arabia. Moreover, sensitivity analysis is examined by implementing a partial rank correlation coefficient technique to obtain the ultimate rank model parameters to control or mitigate the pandemic effectively. Finally, we employ a standard Euler technique for numerical simulations of the model to elucidate the influence of some crucial parameters on the overall transmission dynamics. Our results highlight that contact rate, hospitalization rate, and reactivation rate are the fundamental parameters that need particular emphasis for the prevention, mitigation and control.

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries relied, until recently, solely on import duties for tobacco products. The agreement for the introduction of an excise and value added tax (VAT) in 2016 and 2017, respectively, in most GCC countries, was a major breakthrough for public health. There is, however, ample room for improvement.The study examines the outcomes of tax reforms, for both public health and public finances, based on the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations and best practices worldwide. Tax simulations were performed using the WHO TaXSiM model. The study is based on data from Saudi Arabia, the only GCC country for which sufficient data existed.We recommend a stepwise tax reform, which involves increasing the current ad valorem excise tax rate, phasing out import duties keeping total tax share constant and introducing a minimum excise, and finally switching to a revenue-neutral specific excise. Specific excises must be adjusted for inflation and income increases. If implemented, cigarette tax reform simulations show that the recommended reforms would lead to a higher than 50% increase in cigarette prices, 16% reduction in cigarette sales and almost 50% increase in total cigarette tax revenue. A significant number of cigarette-related deaths would be averted.The recommended tax reforms are expected to lead to significant improvements in both public health and tobacco tax revenues. Our results provide useful insights that are of relevance to the whole GGC region. The effectiveness of the reforms, however, requires a strong tax and customs administration, including the establishment of a good database to monitor and advance public health.

Since the burden of disease has shifted towards non-communicable diseases and public health management, there is a greater need to direct resources to address risk factors of the diseases rather than the diseases themselves. The downstream agenda focused on treatment services and is still an important problem at the level of national health management. Much has been accomplished in preventive programs for infectious diseases in Saudi Arabia but a great deal more is needed to combat non-communicable diseases. While a national non-communicable diseases program is being established in the Kingdom, more advanced pilot projects of NCD can be started in the regions. A model for cardiovascular diseases in Qassim will be presented.

Introduction Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the major concerns for global health. Inappropriate use of antibiotics is speeding up the process of AMR. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) of the population of the western region of Saudi Arabia towards antibiotic use and AMR. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online questionnaire via social media platforms. It consisted of four parts: first, the participant's sociodemographic characteristics. Second, an assessment of the knowledge of antibiotic use and AMR. The third and fourth parts are to evaluate the attitude and practices towards antibiotic use and AMR. Results From a total of 501 participants, 379 (75.6%) were females, and 354 (70.7%) of the participants had a college degree. Regarding the overall knowledge of antibiotics and AMR, 277 (55.29%) of the respondents had poor knowledge. In addition, 443 (88.42%) of the participants also reported having an inadequate attitude. Moreover, inadequate practices related to the use of antibiotics were also reported among 305 (60.89%) of the participants. Factors associated with the level of knowledge are gender, age, educational level, and occupational status. Regarding occupation, being in a medical job was associated with a better knowledge of antibiotics and AMR than other occupations. Conclusion Our study revealed poor overall knowledge, attitudes, and practices toward antibiotics and AMR among participants. Conducting educational health campaigns for the public that aim to promote awareness and enhance good practices, emphasizing the role of health care providers in health education for the public, and enforcing strict regulations to control the non-prescription dispensing of antibiotics will help to combat this issue. However, future research on this topic is required.

Abstract Background In recent years, Saudi Arabia has witnessed staggering rates of hypertension and dyslipidemia- related cardiovascular (CV) deaths, overburdening the healthcare ecosystem of the country. Appropriate public health interventions can be devised through quantitative mapping of evidence. Identification of potential data gaps can prioritize future research needs and develop a ‘best-fit’ framework for patient-centric management of hypertension and dyslipidemia. Methods This review quantified data gaps in the prevalence and key epidemiological touchpoints of the patient journey including awareness, screening, diagnosis, treatment, adherence, and control in patients suffering from hypertension and dyslipidemia in Saudi Arabia. Studies published in English between January 2010–December 2021 were identified through a structured search on MEDLINE, Embase, BIOSIS and PubMed databases. An unstructured search on public and government websites including Saudi Ministry of Health without date limits was carried out to fill data gaps. After exclusion of studies based on pre-defined criteria, a total of 14 studies on hypertension, 12 studies and one anecdotal evidence for dyslipidemia were included in the final analyses. Results The prevalence of hypertension was reported to be 14.8–41.8% while that for dyslipidemia was 12.5–62.0%, respectively. The screening rate for hypertension was 100.0% as revealed by the nationwide surveys. Among hypertensive patients, only 27.6–61.1% patients were aware of their condition, 42.2% patients underwent diagnosis, 27.9–78.9% patients received antihypertension treatment, 22.5% patients adhered to treatment medication while blood pressure (BP) control was achieved in 17.0–45.0% patients. Likewise, among patients with dyslipidemia, 10.5–47.3% patients were aware of their condition, 34.6% patients were screened and 17.8% underwent diagnosis. Although high treatment rates ranging from 40.0–94.0% were reported, medication adherence recorded was 45.0–77.4% among the treated patients. The overall control rates ranged from 28.0–41.5%. Conclusions The study findings highlight evidence gaps along key touchpoints of patient journey touchpoints. Reinforcing the efforts for high-quality evidence-based research at a national level may pave a path for better resource utilization and provide guidance to practice and amend health policies for patients, healthcare practitioners (HCPs) and healthcare policy makers for better patient outcomes in Saudi Arabia.

Background: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) was the first country in the Middle East to adopt the hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine. Despite an expanded HBV immunization program and significant progress in HBV prevention in the country, HBV infection is a significant public health burden. This review lists coordinated solutions for healthcare stakeholders, patients, and health authorities to curb HBV and its impact in KSA. It further aims to draw policymakers’ attention to key priorities to bridge HBV care gaps in the country. Methods: As part of the pre-engagement activity, medical experts across KSA were interviewed to gain a preliminary understanding of the current unmet needs in HBV management in the country. Top-recommended action points derived from the pre-engagement activity were discussed. Key priority action points to curb the impact of HBV in KSA were identified. Results: The priority action points together with the challenges and unmet needs in the management and care of HBV in KSA were: (a) establish a national-level registry, (b) implement screening campaigns, (c) improve linkage of care between primary care physicians (PCPs) and specialists, and (d) increase PCP education and awareness. Conclusion: This work is an endeavor to set the stage for a strategic policy framework aimed at eliminating HBV in KSA. The action points/steps for the identified priorities must run parallelly across various regions in KSA, to successfully manage and further eliminate the threat of HBV.

Discharge against medical advice (DAMA) occurs when the patient or their caretaker leaves the hospital against the recommendation of their treating physician. DAMA may expose the children to a high risk of inadequate treatment, which may result in readmission, prolonged morbidity, and mortality. The study aimed to identify the predictors of DAMA in the emergency department (ED) within the pediatric age group.This was a cross-sectional study. The study used the medical records of pediatric patients (n = 5609) that were admitted to the ED of King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAAUH) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, during 2017 and 2018. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square, or Fisher's exact test were used. Unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios with their 95% CI were reported by performing logistic regression modeling.A significant interaction between age and gender was observed in the multivariate analysis after adjusting for the other covariates. The odds of DAMA for a 5-year-old female child were 4.43 times higher than those of a 5-year-old male child (P < 0.1).The public should be educated about the consequences of DAMA. Continued health education and the promotion of child survival strategies at the community level, combined with an improvement in the socioeconomic conditions of the population, may further reduce DAMA and improve the chances of survival for children. Future studies should assess the socioeconomic status of the patients and estimate the cost that is incurred by the patients.

This study assessed the association between oral health knowledge and practices of pregnant Saudi women selected from visitors to a government hospital in Dammam, Saudi Arabia in 2014. Women answered questions on oral health knowledge during pregnancy and knowledge of infant oral health. Most women (> 70%) knew that dental caries in children can be prevented, that pregnancy affects oral health and that dental treatment during pregnancy can negatively affect infants. Most women (> 80%) performed oral hygiene procedures but only 18% regularly visited the dentist. In a regression analysis, oral health knowledge was not significantly associated with reported oral hygiene practices. Women who visited the dentist regularly were more likely to know how to prevent caries in children, and that dental treatment during pregnancy and infant health were associated.الارتباط بن المعلومات والممارسات المتعلقة بصحة الفم لدى النساء السعوديات الحوامل في الدمام بالمملكة العربية السعودية.بلقيس جعفر، مها الطنطاوي، عاصم الأنصاري، عادل العقل.لقد قيَّمت هذه الدراسة الارتباط بن المعلومات والممارسات المتعلقة بصحة الفم لدى السعوديات الحوامل تم اختيارهن من بن زائرات مستشفى حكومي في الدمام بالمملكة العربية السعودية عام 2014 . حيث أجابت النساء عى أسئلة حول المعلومات المتعلقة بصحة الفم أثناء الحمل والمعلومات المتعلقة بصحة الفم لدى الرضع. كا جرى تقييم ممارساتهن المتعلقة بالمحافظة عى صحة الفم (تنظيف الأسنان بالفرشاة أو بالخيط أو استخدام السواك) ومعدل زيارة أطباء الأسنان. لقد وُجد أن معظم النساء (% 70 <) يعرفن أن تسوس الأسنان عند الأطفال يمكن الوقاية منه، وأن الحمل يؤثر عى صحة الفم، وأن معالجة الأسنان أثناء الحمل يمكن أن تؤثر سلباً عى الرضع. ومعظم النساء (% 80 <) قمنَ باتباع عادات للمحافظة عى صحة الفم، ولكن % 18 منهن فقط قمن بزيارة طبيب الأسنان بانتظام. ولدى إجراء تحليل تحوُّفي تبن أن المعلومات المتعلقة بصحة الفم لم تكن مرتبطة ارتباطاً ملحوظاً بالممارسات المذكورة منهن لحفظ صحة الفم. وكانت النساء اللواتي زرن طبيب الأسنان بانتظام أكثر معرفة بكيفية الوقاية من التسوس لدى الأطفال، وبأن معالجة الأسنان أثناء الحمل كانت مرتبطة بصحة الرضع.Association entre les connaissances et les pratiques de santé bucco-dentaire des femmes enceintes saoudiennes à Dammam (Arabie saoudite).La présente étude avait pour objectif d’étudier l’association entre les connaissances et les pratiques en matière de santé bucco-dentaire de femmes enceintes saoudiennes sélectionnées dans un hôpital public à Dammam, Arabie saoudite, en 2014. Les femmes interrogées ont répondu à des questions concernant leurs connaissances sur la santé bucco-dentaire pendant la grossesse et la santé bucco-dentaire du nourrisson. La plupart des femmes (plus de 70 %) avaient connaissance du fait que les caries dentaires chez l’enfant peuvent être évitées, que la grossesse a une influence sur la santé bucco-dentaire, et que les traitements dentaires pendant la grossesse peuvent avoir un impact négatif sur le nourrisson. La plupart des femmes (plus de 80 %) appliquaient des pratiques d’hygiène buccale, mais seulement 18 % se rendaient régulièrement chez un dentiste. Une analyse de régression a montré que les connaissances en matière de santé bucco-dentaire n’étaient pas associées de façon significative à l’application de pratiques d’hygiène buccale. Les femmes consultant régulièrement un dentiste étaient plus susceptibles de savoir comment prévenir les caries chez l’enfant, et qu’un traitement dentaire pendant la grossesse et la santé du nourrisson étaient corrélées.

<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> During a public health crisis such as the current COVID-19 pandemic, governments and health authorities need quick and accurate methods of communicating with the public. While social media can serve as a useful tool for effective communication during disease outbreaks, few studies have elucidated how these platforms are used by the Ministry of Health (MOH) during disease outbreaks in Saudi Arabia. </sec> <sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> Guided by the Crisis and Emergency Risk Communication model, this study aimed to explore the MOH’s use of Twitter and the public’s engagement during different stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in Saudi Arabia. </sec> <sec> <title>METHODS</title> Tweets and corresponding likes and retweets were extracted from the official Twitter account of the MOH in Saudi Arabia for the period of January 1 through August 31, 2020. Tweets related to COVID-19 were identified; subsequently, content analysis was performed, in which tweets were coded for the following message types: risk messages, warnings, preparations, uncertainty reduction, efficacy, reassurance, and digital health responses. Public engagement was measured by examining the numbers of likes and retweets. The association between outbreak stages and types of messages was assessed, as well as the effect of these messages on public engagement. </sec> <sec> <title>RESULTS</title> The MOH posted a total of 1393 original tweets during the study period. Of the total tweets, 1293 (92.82%) were related to COVID-19, and 1217 were ultimately included in the analysis. The MOH posted the majority of its tweets (65.89%) during the initial stage of the outbreak. Accordingly, the public showed the highest level of engagement (as indicated by numbers of likes and retweets) during the initial stage. The types of messages sent by the MOH significantly differed across outbreak stages, with messages related to uncertainty reduction, reassurance, and efficacy being prevalent among all stages. Tweet content, media type, and crisis stage influenced the level of public engagement. Engagement was negatively associated with the inclusion of hyperlinks and multimedia files, while higher level of public engagement was associated with the use of hashtags. Tweets related to warnings, uncertainty reduction, and reassurance received high levels of public engagement. </sec> <sec> <title>CONCLUSIONS</title> This study provides insights into the Saudi MOH’s communication strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our results have implications for researchers, governments, health organizations, and practitioners with regard to their communication practices during outbreaks. To increase public engagement, governments and health authorities should consider the public’s need for information. This, in turn, could raise public awareness regarding disease outbreaks. </sec>

Both tall and short parents are concerned about their children's short stature. This study aimed to explore the knowledge about short stature (SS) and attitude towards its treatment among the general public of Saudi Arabia. This was a cross-sectional study that utilized an online-administered questionnaire distributed between August 2021 and March 2022. Binary logistic regression was conducted to identify factors that affect participants’ knowledge. This study included a total of 6,852 individuals. The vast majority of the participants (77.5%) expressed satisfaction with their height. A total of 40.4% of participants stated that they were aware of a treatment option for their low height. With a mean score of 13.0 (SD:5.8) out of 25, the participants demonstrated a moderate level of knowledge of short stature (52.0%). The majority of participants (78.0%) stated that if they have a problem with short stature or want to enhance their own or their children's height, they are willing to consult a doctor about it. Participants living in the northern and eastern areas, those with bachelor degree, and those working in the healthcare field were more likely to be knowledgeable about short stature compared to others (p≤0.01). Saudi Arabians have a moderate understanding of SS, which needs to be improved. Campaigns to increase the general public's and parents' knowledge about SS, which is ultimately connected to earlier diagnosis and better management outcomes, are needed. Additional research is required to examine the most effective strategies for raising public knowledge of SS.

Introduction Asthma is the most common respiratory disease worldwide. In Saudi Arabia, asthma is considered as a major public health concern and has a negative impact in the life of patients, their families, and the community, including lost days of work, absence from school, and poor quality of life, which can eventually lead to frequent emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and sometimes, to death. Thus, the objectives of this study were to evaluate asthma control status among asthmatic patients in primary health care centers (PHCCs) in Makkah, Saudi Arabia and to identify factors associated with poor asthma control. Methods This was a cross-sectional study conducted from March to May 2016 in selected PHCCs in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Data was collected from five PHCCs which were selected using a stratified random sample technique from a total of 47 PHCCs to represent the different geographic regions of the city. The 167 asthmatic patients, aged four years and above, presented during the study period were included. Each respondent completed two tools: the first is a self-administrated questionnaire and the second is the asthma control test. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS version 21 software (IBM Corp, Armonk, USA). Qualitative variables were analyzed with the Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test as appropriate. Results Around one-third (34.1%) of all asthmatic patients were categorized as having uncontrolled asthma and about one-quarter (24.6%) were partially controlled asthma. Dust (91.6%), exposure to incense, detergent and essence (86.8%), common cold (82%) and cold weather (79.6%) were the factors that trigger or exacerbate asthma attacks. Physical activity/exercise and cold weather were the commonest factors that significantly exacerbate asthma attacks particularly among children and were mostly uncontrolled. More than one-third (36.5%) of the asthmatic patients in the PHCCs were cared for by general practitioners. Conclusion Poor asthma control was observed in a high proportion of asthmatic children, adolescents and adults in the Makkah region and they were mostly from non-specialized PHCCs. The poor asthma control among the respondents affects their quality of sleep ( i.e., frequent awakening at night), recurrent absences from work and school, increased hospitalizations, emergency and unscheduled visits to the hospital.

Background: The recent outbreak of the Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) has affected millions of lives in different countries including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Due to the characteristics of dental practice settings, there is a high risk of infection transmission between patients and dentists. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the level of public knowledge, attitude and practice regarding COVID-19 and infection control when visiting a dentist. Methods: In April 2020, a web-based cross-sectional survey was distributed randomly among the public through social media platforms. A validated anonymous questionnaire was used to assess knowledge about COVID-19 and participants’ attitudes toward extra measures to prevent the spread of infection. Results: Among the completed questionnaires (N=521), the mean age of the participants was 36.24 years, 68.3% were women, 87.5% held a university degree, and 81% were from the Makkah region. Most of the participants (99%) obtained a good knowledge score regarding COVID-19. Women were more likely than men to have more knowledge (p<0.05). Nearly all of the participants (99.6%) demonstrated good attitudes towards precautionary measures in dental clinics. Spearman’s rho test showed a statistically significant correlation between age and attitude score, suggesting that attitude score increased with age (p<0.05). Overall, 73.3% reported that they would maintain good hygiene practices when visiting a dentist during this pandemic. Conclusion: Most Saudi residents with a high education level are knowledgeable about COVID-19, hold promising attitudes, and have appropriate practices towards precautionary measures needed while visiting a dental clinic during the virus outbreak.

An increased smoking uptake by Saudi male adolescents and a lack of data about its determinants emphasize the need for a better understanding of factors leading to the onset of smoking and identifying ways to prevent it. The aim of this qualitative study is to explore adolescents' views on smoking and their opinions about a smoking prevention program.A total of 103 school-going adolescents, aged 12-16 years, were purposely selected from grades seven, eight and nine from nine schools in Taif in Saudi Arabia. They were interviewed in 11 focus group discussions; five groups were held for smokers and six for non-smokers. An interview scheme was developed based on the I-Change Model, a model used for understanding smoking onset and prevention. We used QDA Lite version 2:0 software for data analysis.Most of the participants agreed on the importance of social influences as determining factors to start smoking. The presence of smoking friend(s) and family member(s), especially the father, were mentioned. Factors such as having extra pocket money, absence of alternatives, showing off, to be seen as western, to be seen as an adult and the good taste of cigarettes were also mentioned as beliefs associated with smoking. Adolescents indicated to have low confidence not to smoke under peer pressure, suggesting self-efficacy problems. Intentions to smoke were also often mentioned. Almost all participants agreed that an interactive approach is optimal for an effective smoking prevention program.Determinants of smoking seem to be very similar to those outlined by previous studies. A smoking prevention program for Saudi adolescents should address how to cope with social pressure to smoke, the advantages connected with smoking, and how to increase self-efficacy. Information should be presented in an interactive rather than static way.

Consanguineous marriage is common in Saudi Arabia. It is responsible for high prevalence of genetic disorders in the Saudi population. Thus, the aim of this study is to assess the level of awareness around the genetic diseases resulting from consanguinity in Saudi Arabia. A randomised cross-sectional study was conducted among the Saudi society. A questionnaire was designed for demographics, the history of genetic diseases, awareness of genetic diseases and premarital screening. These were distributed through social media (Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp), targeting different education levels and specialties, from different regions of the country. The data was analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) and p-value calculated using a chi-square test. The majority of the participants were female, (83.4%), versus (16.6%) males. The participants were from different Saudi regions: the western (66.5%), middle (11.5%), southern (8.9%), eastern (7.8%) and northern (5.3%) regions. 86% of the participants were undergraduates, 20.5% were educated to high-school level and 11.1% were postgraduate level. 28% were from a medical field while 72% were non-medical. The most common genetic diseases in the Saudi population are Down syndrome, sickle cell anemia, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency and thalassemia. Participants with a medical education and those with higher educational levels demonstrate significantly higher levels of awareness about the connection between consanguinity and the resultant genetic diseases. Most of the participants believe that culture and tradition play the most important roles in the spread of the genetic diseases due to consanguinity, followed by a lack of awareness about their association. Public awareness of the association between consanguinity and the development of genetic diseases is relatively low. culture and tradition were reported to be most associated factor in the spread of consanguinity and thus genetic diseases.

Immunization has been one of the most successful public health measures ever undertaken. However, a degree of hesitancy about vaccine use still exists. Healthcare professionals are in a unique position to provide advice and education to the public and may influence the decision to undergo immunization.The aim of this study was to explore perceptions and beliefs regarding immunizations and immunization-preventable diseases.A descriptive cross-sectional study was undertaken at the Imam Abdulrahman bin Faisal University, located in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a survey of 564 Saudi undergraduate healthcare students was conducted. 77.8% of participants replied (439). Information was collected regarding perceptions of; severity of immunization-preventable diseases, contracting these diseases, immunization safety, and immunization beliefs. The statistical analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (IBM SPSS v25). Non-parametric analyses were utilized. Descriptive data were generated as appropriate, including frequencies, median, and inter-quartile range. Statistical relationships of demographic variables were explored using Kruskal Wallis H-Test and Spearman's Rank-Order Correlation. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Meningitis was perceived as the most severe disease and COVID-19 as having the highest likelihood of infection. Concern regarding vaccine side effects was most evident for the COVID-19 vaccine. Student year level and profession resulted in statistically significant differences for all three assessed perceptions. Substantial differences were also identified regarding views on immunization belief statements.This study identified considerable heterogeneity in Saudi healthcare students' perceptions and beliefs regarding immunization-preventable diseases and vaccination. Further education is required to produce well-informed and confident healthcare professionals around these issues.

Reducing invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) through MenACWY immunization is a critical healthcare strategy in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Robust IMD surveillance is essential to help assess the need for additional immunization initiatives in target populations. This is particularly important in KSA, where mass gatherings accompanying Hajj/Umrah pilgrimages have been associated with IMD outbreaks within the local KSA population, and subsequent intercontinental spread via returning pilgrims. This narrative review of the published literature describes the changing epidemiology of IMD in KSA to provide a perspective on the impact of current immunization strategies and potential gaps. As recent published surveillance data are lacking, we also evaluated publicly reported data from the KSA Ministry of Health (MoH) for 2012-2019 to inform more recent IMD trends. Between 1995 and 2011, national surveillance data indicate that 1103 IMD cases were reported in KSA: 60% in 2000-2001, involving two (mainly MenW) outbreaks involving KSA citizens/residents and pilgrims focused in Mecca and Medina. Across 2002-2011, 184 cases of IMD were reported, with a higher proportion occurring in KSA citizens/residents, and with less focus within pilgrimage centers than apparent in previous years. Our analysis of MoH data found that, between 2012 and 2019, 44 IMD cases were reported, all in KSA citizens/residents, and chiefly in children or infants. No pilgrimage-associated outbreaks have occurred since 2001. Serogroup data were available for 62.5% of all cases for 2002-2011; MenW (40.0%), MenA (35.7%), and MenB (16.5%). Serogroup data for 2012-2019 remain incompletely reported, and the existing surveillance system could be improved, as some element of underestimation/underreporting of IMD may exist. While existing MenACWY immunization strategies for KSA citizens/residents and visiting pilgrims have been successful in reducing IMD due to specific serogroups, disease due to MenB remains a potential risk, and additional immunization strategies should be considered.

Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions of people throughout the world. Previous studies suggested the need for more public education. This study aimed to assess and compare the knowledge about SCD among intermediate and high school students. Methodology: An analytic cross-sectional study was conducted among 1,500 high school and intermediate students in Al-Ahsa region, from December 2018 to February 2019. The data were collected through a questionnaire and interviews. Results: Most of the students (89%) had heard of SCD and 80% knew that it can be diagnosed by a blood test, but 60% did not know how common was SCD in Saudi Arabia. Despite the high prevalence, 65.4% answered the hereditary nature of the disease, but only a small proportion thought that consanguineous marriages were a risk factor for SCD spread. Females showed better knowledge than males and married people knew more about SCD than unmarried ones. Conclusion: There was a good level of knowledge about SCD. SCD awareness in secondary school educational program should be incorporated, and public awareness message in media is recommended.

Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis is a common and current health problem in Saudi Arabia. Public education and awareness are essential for the prevention of tuberculosis. This study aims at assessing the level of knowledge among people in Jeddah regarding this re-emerging disease.
 Methods: A cross-sectional, self-administrated questionnaire-based study was conducted at three main shopping centers in Jeddah city, after pilot study testing. A structured questionnaire was developed to assess the basic knowledge about pulmonary tuberculosis which included demographic data, level of education, source and level of knowledge (basic facts) about pulmonary tuberculosis.
 Results: The questionnaire was completed by 436 recruited subjects; 256 (58.7%) females, age ranged between 12 and 72 (mean 28.54 years; SD ± 11.2); 165 (38.9%) were students and 154 (36.3%) were employees. The majority (73%) of candidates were relatively well educated or completed high school. 53.3% of the candidates assumed had sufficient knowledge regarding tuberculosis. 36% were unaware that lungs were the primary organ affected, over half (50.9%) denied it is an infectious disease, and almost half (47.4%) were unaware of effective treatment. The mean score of the level of knowledge for the whole group was 5.20 out of 11 (SD ± 2.95); 39% scored less than 4. Females scored better than males, 5.55 and 4.69 out of 11, respectively with a p-value of 0.003.
 Conclusion: The data showed that public awareness regarding pulmonary tuberculosis was below expectation. Essential information about the disease was lacking even among well-educated people, though female were found to be knowledgeable compared to males.

A major public health concern in relation to mass gatherings is the international circulation of infectious diseases, and the spread between participants and to the population of the nation hosting the event. Transmission of respiratory pathogens at the Hajj Muslim pilgrimage in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is highly frequent, resulting in high acquisition rates of virus and bacteria carriage. The Hajj may, therefore, contribute to the globalization of common respiratory pathogens resulting from the cross-contamination of participants harboring pathogens that easily spread among pilgrims. A wide range of viral and bacterial clinical infections of the upper and lower respiratory tract can occur during the Hajj, leading to a high number of outpatient consultations and hospitalization in Saudi hospitals. Although outbreaks are less frequently reported in or after mass gatherings, they do sometimes occur, resulting in the international spread of measles, influenza, and mumps.

Breast cancer is a major killer in women globally and in developing regions where the early cancer detection facilities are unavailable, with late presentation and prognosis is worse. Breast cancer awareness would be a tool to fight this disease through early detection and there by decrease the morbidity and mortality. Aim of the study: to improve female students’ knowledge and practice toward breast cancer in Saudi Arabia. Methodology : Research Design: A quasi experimental design was used. Tools: Three tools were developed for data collection including interviewing questionnaire which include socio-demographic characteristics, female students attitude toward breast cancer and source of their knowledge about breast cancer, students’ knowledge assessment sheet about risk factors, signs, symptoms and screening of breast cancer, and the third tool was about the practice of breast self –examination. Sample: a convenient sample of 339 female students was recruited in this study. The data collection was from February to end May2013. Results: Data were collected from 339 female students. About 69.9% of students in the age group from 20-22 years. There were statistically significant improvements of students’ knowledge score after education regarding risk factors, signs and symptoms, and screening of breast cancer. Additionally 17.1% of students were practicing breast self examination (BSE) in pretest compared to 35.4% of them in posttest. Conclusion : Post educational sessions not only improved female students’ knowledge but also, significantly improved the attitude toward breast cancer self examination. Keywords: Breast Cancer, Breast Self Examination, Screening of Breast Cancer, Raising Awareness.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a severe global public health issue. Evaluating clinical readiness during a pandemic requires substantial awareness of public knowledge and the ability to predict behaviour when working with a highly pathogenic virus. Objective: This study examined nutrition-related knowledge and behaviours and financial difficulties related to COVID-19 among adults in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 968 participants via an online questionnaire focusing on demographics, nutrition-related knowledge regarding COVID-19, nutrition-related behaviours, and financial difficulties under COVID-19 quarantine. Results: Female participants showed higher scores in knowledge (3.15 ± 0.87) and nutrition-related behaviour (5.49 ± 1.2) during COVID-19. Those aged 40 to 49 years had the highest knowledge score, while older participants (>50) showed more adherence to positive nutrition-related behaviour ( P < 0.0001 for both). Higher education indicated higher knowledge scores (3.4 2 ± 0.86; P = 0.001) but not behaviour scores. High-income participants had the highest knowledge score (3.29 ± 0.96; P = 0.001), while middle income participants had the highest behaviour scores (5.52 ± 1.23; P = 0.01). Low-income participants faced more difficulties with food source availability, compared to high-income participants. Conclusion: This study’s results help in providing guidelines for planning and designing health education programmes for vulnerable groups.

The psychological impact of public health restrictions may play a role in the increased depression levels reported since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Data further suggest that people's sense of personal control has been reduced during the pandemic also producing psychological distress. This study aimed to test whether perceptions of public health restrictions predict depression under pandemic conditions and if the sense of control can serve as a protective factor. For this cross-sectional study, 641 residents in Saudi Arabia over the age of 17 years were recruited between November and December of 2020 to complete an online survey. The survey assessed depression levels (Beck Depression Inventory, BDI), the sense of control and perceptions of public health restrictions. Demographic information was also collected. Depression levels were higher compared to previous samples (d = 0.12). The number of restrictions perceived as distressing strongly predicted the probability of high BDI scores, β=0.92 , with higher sense of control predicting lower levels of depression (constraints, β=-0.50 , mastery, β=-0.71 ). A strong sense of control significantly reduced the impact of the perception of restrictions on depression. These results suggest that the perception of public health restrictions is part of the reason for increased levels of depression during the pandemic. A strong sense control reduced the impact of restrictions on depression. It is therefore possible that simple interventions enhancing the sense of control, such as the availability of choice, could support mental health in restricted situations.

The world is currently suffering from another episode of respiratory disease pandemic as Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) spares no continent. The disease which is caused by the virus SARS-CoV-2, has so far claimed many lives in multiple countries, including Muslim majority nations like Malaysia and Saudi Arabia. The situation has become a significant public health concern with several measures being carried out in an attempt to break the chain of the virus transmission. These include the introduction of movement control order and total lock down across the world. The closure of places of worship including mosques have raised concerns and inconvenience to Muslims. Pandemics are not unprecedented in the history of mankind as several documented outbreaks like the plague pandemic in the mid fourteenth century also known as ‘the Black Death’, caused a demographic decline in both Muslim and Christian countries which led to millions of lives loss worldwide. We attempt to identify the parallels between the current COVID-19 pandemic with the experiences of previous Muslim generations, and draw lessons on general and practical responses to pandemics with special reference to the generation of the Prophet’s companion.

Digital public health refers to the use of technology, new types of data, and new ways of working that come with digitisation of public health and associated data. Data have been central to public health ever since John Snow used maps and case reports to identify the Broad Street pump as a source of cholera in London in 1854.1Vinten-Johansen P Brody H Paneth N Rachman S Rip MR Cholera, chloroform, and the science of medicine: a life of John Snow.1st edn. Oxford University Press, Oxford, New York2003Google Scholar Even today, data are just as central to public health, and digital technology provides new ways to collect data through efficient administrative interfaces, sensors, and non-traditional sources such as social media; new ways to link different data sources to generate new insights; and new ways to visualise and analyse data. Digital public health also means government and non-governmental public health organisations can work with data, to be more effective and communicate with both the public and with decision makers. In this Comment, we use the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic to explore some of the ways in which digital public health can transform the public health response. Through this exploration, we hope to highlight the broader potential for digital public health in making public health prevention, surveillance, and responses more effective across a wide range of challenges. First, digital acquisition of administrative data can drastically improve the timely tracking of the COVID-19 pandemic. The core data reported by most countries are the number of confirmed cases and the number of deaths. In most settings, these data are collected through paper reporting and forms. Time lags in reporting and disruptions to reporting at weekends and during holidays are clearly evident. Simple inspection of daily numbers shows, for example, that US COVID-19 deaths and cases drop substantially on every Sunday and Monday, with case numbers rebounding later in the week. Many of these issues in data reporting would probably disappear with direct digitisation at the point of data collection and automated reporting. In an era of widespread access to digital technology in high-income and middle-income countries, it is remarkable that most reporting for the pandemic does not take advantage of these technologies. Such technologies, combined with commitments by sentinel hospitals and labs around the world, could be used to build a 21st-century surveillance network to detect the next pandemic and resurgences of existing infectious diseases. Second, data collected through other, non-health service sources can play a crucial role in understanding the pandemic and forecasting the next hotspot. Mobility data collected through the use of smartphone apps and reported by platforms like Facebook, Google, Apple, among others have been an important input into many efforts to track the drivers of the pandemic in nearly every country. These data sources provide near real-time (a 1-day lag in the case of Facebook) information on mobility and thus likely human contact in nearly every country in the world. In future pandemics and public health emergencies, the ability to deliver massive information in near real-time could be transformative for coordinating future responses. Third, in the past, surveys were planned and executed over periods of 2–4 years, usually providing information that was 2–3 years old at best by the time the process was complete and the data were analysed and approved. This lag makes the data for dealing with a public health emergency essentially useless. Cell phone data have been supplemented with survey data on symptoms, behaviours, and knowledge. Clearly, smartphone surveys and social media platform surveys have limitations because they are not representative of the entire population. Nevertheless, the speed of data collection and the large fraction of the population on these platforms in many countries also means great potential for real-time input on knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours. Work to understand biases in data collected through these platforms should be done before the next public health emergency, so that the greatest benefit can be derived from these platforms in the future. Fourth, contact tracing is of crucial importance both early in the pandemic and later on, when case numbers have declined to manageable levels through other means. Interviews in person or by phone have traditionally been used for contact tracing, but new technologies have been effectively deployed to strengthen contact tracing in South Korea, Singapore, and other countries. A variety of technology providers have developed tracing apps, and these are being used more widely. Ongoing privacy concerns are being addressed through various opt-in options and privacy-preserving contact-tracing technologies. These tools have the potential to greatly increase the effectiveness of the test, trace, and isolate strategy for pandemic control. Fifth, a core component of effective public health is communicating to the media, the public, decision influencers, and decision makers. Data visualisation, particularly interactive data visualisation, and storytelling, can be a more effective way to communicate key messages and broaden understanding of a public health challenge. We see this crucial role of data visualisation as a core component of future digital public health. Sixth, digitisation of case reports, hospital admissions, and deaths, together with digitisation of a wide variety of variables that drive COVID-19 transmission such as cell phone mobility data, survey data on mask use, or testing rates, can be made even more effective through data linkage and disaggregation of data to the very local level. As the pandemic unfolds, control strategies are increasingly being targeted at the city or neighbourhood level. Digitisation with appropriate disaggregation provides the opportunity to develop new insights, for instance which groups in particular communities are at greatest risk. In the USA, for example, Black, Hispanic or Latino, and Native Americans are at much greater risk of COVID-19.2The COVID Tracking ProjectRacial data dashboard.https://covidtracking.com/race/dashboardDate accessed: July 16, 2020Google Scholar, 3Centers for Disease Control and PreventionHealth equity considerations and racial and ethnic minority groups.https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/need-extra-precautions/racial-ethnic-minorities.htmlDate accessed: July 16, 2020Google Scholar, 4Oppel Jr, RA Gebeloff R Lai KKR Wright W Smith M The fullest look yet at the racial inequity of coronavirus.

The potential of linking various data systems remains largely untapped in the COVID-19 pandemic. Digital public health has huge potential to accelerate effective public health responses to pandemics. For COVID-19, we have seen glimpses of this potential in some countries and local communities leveraging pre-pandemic digital investments in public health. However, there is clearly massive untapped potential. The technologies exist; the main barriers appear to be the combination of resistance to new ways of working and a natural instinct to suppress data in case it reveals shortcomings, the cost and literacy of digital technologies is also an important barrier for some countries. The imperative to save lives in the COVID-19 pandemic will hopefully accelerate progress in expanding digital public health. We declare no competing interests. We are part of the G20 Riyadh Global Digital Health Summit (hosted by Saudi Arabia to leverage the role of digital health in the fight against current and future pandemics). Global health and data-driven policies for emergency responses to infectious disease outbreaksIn 2011, WHO reached a global health milestone when the organisation achieved international agreement on a framework for pandemic influenza preparedness that would facilitate the sharing of influenza virus samples and data, allow vaccine access, and address aspects relevant to low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs).1 Similarly, in 2015, a WHO consultation during the Ebola virus outbreak in west Africa emphasised the need for global norms and for the public availability of data during public health emergencies.

The ubiquity of international travel, the ease of transmission of the virus, and symptom variability have resulted in an unprecedented rate of spread. The need for physical distancing has also led to the rapid adoption of telehealth solutions globally. Full-Text PDF Open AccessApplications of predictive modelling early in the COVID-19 epidemicOn Jan 30, 2020, WHO declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, a month after COVID-19 was identified in Wuhan, China. By this point, several mathematical and computational models had already raised the alarm about the potential for the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) to cause a global pandemic and the dire consequences for public health should drastic action not be taken. During the emergence of a novel pandemic, predictive modelling is important in public health planning and response. Full-Text PDF Open AccessCommunicating in a public health crisisDespite previous pandemics and reports on pandemic preparedness,1 many countries struggle to prevent and manage public health emergencies.2 A key component of an effective pandemic response is communication between governments, health professionals, scientists, the media, and the public.3 Full-Text PDF Open AccessDigital public health: a hopeful strategy to tackle the surge in domestic violenceChristopher Murray and colleagues1 described some timely and valuable applications of digital technology in aiding prevention, surveillance, and management of COVID-19 during the current pandemic. However, we wish to highlight that such applications of digital public health measures must be broader than the epidemiological management of COVID-19. Such novel technologies can be applied to other concurrent public health crises, such as the so-called shadow pandemic of violence against women and girls. Full-Text PDF Open Access

Introduction: Emergency Departments (ED) are highly important in hospital settings because they offer 24-hour professional assistance to patients in need of healthcare. However, ED overcrowding has started to become a global healthcare crisis, such that the patient capacity of EDs is no longer sufficient to meet patient demand. Aim: Thus, this study aimed to determine the relationship between ED overcrowding and the mortality rate of patients to draw the attention of decision makers in Saudi Arabia toward this issue, with the hope of ultimately attaining a solution to this problem. Methods: Using patients’ electronic health records that were stored in the Quadra Med system in 2018, we calculated the occupancy rates of the ED of a target teaching hospital at different quarters and associated those figures with the mortality rates for the same quarters. Results: Our results showed that there was no significant association between mortality rate and crowding status in the ED. Nonetheless, we recommend increasing public awareness and bed capacity at EDs in Saudi Arabia because overcrowded EDs can lead to adverse patient outcomes. Conclusion: The present study showed that the highest percentage (38%) of deaths that occurred during the overcrowded period were mostly of patients between 30 and 44 years of age, while patients between 60 and 74 years of age accounted for 36% of deaths. The current study also assessed patient triaging, revealing that the highest number of patients was associated with level four (62.7% of the total patients in the overcrowded ED) and level five (33.1% in the overcrowded ED) triaging. We also discovered higher levels of admission in the critical care unit during the ED overcrowding period compared with other periods.

Background and Aim: Although the incidence of gastric cancer is falling worldwide, it is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality and the fourth most common cancer globally. The study aims to assess the public level of awareness of risk factors of gastric cancer and attitude toward disease screening among general population in Saudi Arabia.
Methods: A cross-sectional study using a pre-tested questionnaire through social media applications was used to assess participants awareness of gastric cancer.
Results: Total of 1410 respondents were included in this study and among them 858 (60.9%) were females and most of them were aged between 19 years to 29 years, 843 (59.8%). Respondents perception of self-risk of gastric cancer were 693 (49.1%) had very low risk, 574 (40.7%) had low risk, 137 (9.7%) had average risk, and the remaining six respondents (0.4%) had high risk. Study participants were aware of chronic infection as the most powerful risk factor, 764 (54.2%). Regarding the usefulness of regular gastric cancer screening, 1011 (71.7%) answered very useful but only 30 (2.1%) undergo regular screening for gastric cancer. Respondents age, health status, smoking habit, drinking habit, consumption of salty food, and consumption of spicy food were statistically significantly characteristics associated with their self-risk of gastric cancer.
Conclusions: The study showed low level of knowledge of gastric cancer risk factors in Saudi Arabia, but it indicates positive attitude towards screening with only 30 respondents undergoing regular screening.

The aim of this study was to identify the most important factors associated with undergraduate students' decisions to enroll in the health informatics program at Hail University in Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among the population of 73 students (second to fourth year; 52 females, 21 males; age range 19–25 years). A hierarchy of perceived sources of influence was identified. Counselors, teachers and other professionals, and promotional materials, including information in the media, as well as the high quality characteristics of the institution, had the strongest influence. Other students, friends and family, the academic reputation of the University and the health informatics department faculty, together with interactions in the academic environment (e.g. segregation by gender) and financial, job, career, and postgraduate opportunities, were perceived to be weaker sources of influence. The strengths of the sources of influence varied significantly with respect to the socio-demographic characteristics of the students, as well as the categories associated with the decision-making process. Strong sources of influence were particularly important for the increasing number of female students who often made the final decision to enroll. These findings will support policy and decision makers to make better plans for health informatics education by understanding the influential sources that attract students into the health informatics profession, and will also assist the health care sector’s attempts to avoid a deficiency in this rapidly expanding professional field.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is linked to cervical cancer, which is prevalent in Saudi Arabia. While HPV vaccines are effective, their coverage remains low in low- and middle-income countries. Public awareness of HPV vaccination is also limited. The study examines public awareness of cervical cancer, HPV, the HPV vaccine, and factors that hinder vaccine uptake. Objectives: To assess the levels of knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions towards HPV vaccination among women aged 16 years and above in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted using an interview questionnaire. A stratified sampling technique was used to select a representative sample of 534 female patients aged 16 years and older who visited primary healthcare centers in Makkah. The interview questionnaire included questions related to sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge about HPV vaccination, attitudes and perceptions toward HPV vaccination, and sources of information about HPV infection and vaccines. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square tests. Results: The majority of participants were aged between 21 and 40 years (76.4%), Saudi (90.3%), and had a higher education level (73.4%). Only a small proportion (1.9%-39%) of participants correctly answered most of the questions related to HPV vaccination, while a few questions were answered correctly by a larger proportion (41.6%-59.6%), highlighting the need for educational programs to increase awareness about the HPV vaccine. The internet and social media were the most prevalent sources of information about HPV infection and vaccines (48.4%). A majority of participants expressed willingness to receive the HPV vaccine if offered by the healthcare sector at no cost (65.5%). Concerns included fear of injection (27.7%), cost (23.2%), and potential refusal from family or community (9.7%). A significant proportion believed that there is a need for educational sessions to increase awareness about the HPV vaccine in their community (82.8%) and that increased knowledge about HPV vaccines would lead to greater acceptability (83.9%). Age, nationality, marital status, number of children, educational status, occupation, and average monthly income were significantly associated with knowledge about HPV vaccination (p < 0.05). Age and educational status were significantly associated with attitudes towards HPV vaccination (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The lack of knowledge about HPV vaccination among adult women in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, is concerning, as it may result in low vaccine uptake rates and an increased incidence of HPV-related diseases. Therefore, targeted educational programs and awareness campaigns are crucial to enhance knowledge and promote the uptake of the HPV vaccine. These programs should be designed to provide accurate information about the prevalence of HPV, its associated risks, and the benefits of vaccination.

Mean age was 35.9 years (SD±9.1) and mean body mass index (BMI) was 26.2 kg/m2 (SD±3.4) with a mean TSC of 5.20 mmol (SD±1.21). Mean TSC was significantly higher among non-Arabs at 5.74 mmo1/L (SD±1.48) than in Saudi Arabs at 4.93 mmol/L (SD±1.11), P<0.001 mmol/L. TSC was higher than 5.20 mmol/L in 44.3% and higher than 6.80 mmol/L in 6.9% of the population. TSC was higher than 6.80 mmol/L in 3.6% of Saudi Arabs, 8.0% in other Arabs and 15.7% in the non-Arabs. This calls for cholesterol screening of the indigenous male population for hypercholesterolemia and other coronary heart disease risk factors at every opportunity. Among expatriate males, a mass screening strategy might be appropriate. The health care system needs appropriate adjustment to deal with this growing health problem.IntroductionIncreased blood cholesterol levels, especially the low density lipoprotein cholesterol LDL-C fraction, are causally related to an increased risk for coronary heart disease (CHD).1 Coronary risk rises progressively when cholesterol levels rise above 5.2 mmol/L (200 mg/dL).2 There is also substantial evidence that lowering total and LDL-cholesterol levels will reduce the incidence of CHD 3,4 Blood cholesterol concentrations are easily measured and the development of small portable analyzers offers the potential for widespread screening. This will allow for the identification of those subjects who would require further evaluation. The case for the measurement of serum cholesterol concentrations as a means of identifying subjects at risk of developing CHD is strong.5The study group of the European Atherosclerosis Society recommends that total serum cholesterol (TSC) levels above 5.2 mmol/L (200 mg/dL) deserve consideration, but it is considered that for the part of the population with levels between 5.2 and 6.5 mmol/L, dietary advice is appropriate in addition to the correction of other risk factors.6 In the European continent, 40% to 48% of males ages 40 to 59 years and 39% to 59% of females will fall between these limits. In Northern Europe, 41% of males and 49% of females of the same age group had TSC levels above 6.5 mmol/L (250 mg/dL). In Southern Europe the situation is somewhat brighter, with about 25% of the population exceeding this limit.7 Screening for hypercholesterolemia has become widespread in the USA since the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) was introduced in 1985.8 This panel recommended that all adults should know their cholesterol levels. The approach followed by the NCEP is a widespread nonselective opportunistic screening to identify high risk subjects who require individual clinical care. Several problems must still be addressed, including the type of screening strategy to be adopted, the effectiveness of strategies in identifying subjects at risk, the reliability of cholesterol measurement, patient compliance, the readiness of physicians, particularly in primary health care, to incorporate recommendations for screening and treatment into their practice and the benefits which may result from treatment.9The prevalence of coronary artery disease and the distribution of its risk factors in Saudi Arabia are not known. Studies on hypercholesterolemia are few. Prior studies have been either hospital-based,10 or among selective age groups (e.g., young adults) for convenience.11,12 Our study was designed to assess the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia among males in the community irrespective of age or nationality. Young and middle age males, who represent the target group of cholesterol screening programs, were invited to participate at public gatherings. This is the first reported study where a portable cholesterol measuring device was used in the Kingdom. Several studies have been reported on the use of a compact dry chemistry analyzer.13,14Material and MethodsNine hundred and sixty-six apparently healthy males were invited to participate in a cholesterol screening campaign at several public gatherings (public market and trade exhibitions) in Riyadh City, the capital of Saudi Arabia (population approximately 1.2 million) (September to December 1992). Personal data such as age, nationality and the presence of other coronary risk factors including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and smoking as well as medication history were obtained. Weight was measured with an electronic scale in light clothes and height was measured with a wall-mounted ruler. The Quetlet body mass index (BMI) was calculated according to the formula: BMI = weight (kg) divided by height (m)2 as previously described.15 Total serum cholesterol (TSC) was measured using capillary blood on a strip read by a portable reflectron analyzer (Boehringer Mannheim) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The machine was calibrated with internal controls at each session (daily when in use), utilizing a kit provided by the manufacturer according to their instructions. Venous blood was collected in every 10th participant for TSC measurement using an enzymatic method.16 Our laboratory is a member of both a city-wide and an external quality control program. Data was processed and analyzed using the Gold Stat Pack(R) software package.17 Results were reported as mean ± standard deviation unless otherwise stated. Analysis of variance was used to compare variables among those groups.ResultsThe study sample comprised 966 apparently healthy males. There were 475 Saudi Arabs (49.2%) with a mean age of 34.9 years (SD±10.6) and mean BMI of 26.0 kg/m2 (SD±3.9). Other Arabs represented 36.5% of the sample (315 participants) with a mean age of 37.1 years (SD±7.1) and mean BMI of 26.0 kg/m2 (SD±4.3). Non-Arabs represented 15% of the sample (140 participants) with a mean age of 37.0 years (SD±7.9) and mean BMI of 26.8 kg/m2 (SD±3.4). The mean age for the entire group was 35.9 years (SD±9.1) and mean BMI was 26.2 kg/m2 (SD±3.4). The age distribution was similar among the three groups. A small proportion of participants were either below 25 years (6.8%) or above 55 years (3.4%) of age. The coefficient of variance in TSC measurement between the reflectron(R) and the enzymatic methods was 1.46%.Table 1 reflects a comparison of TSC in various age categories among the three groups. The mean TSC for the entire population was 5.2 mmol/L (SD±1.21). The TSC among the Saudi Arabs was 4.93 mmol/L (SD±1.11), significantly lower than that of the whole sample mean (P<0.001). On the other hand, the mean TSC among other] Arabs was 5.44 mmol/L (SD±1.12) which was significantly higher than that for Saudi Arabs (P<0.001) and that of the entire population (P<0.01). Among non-Arabs, the mean TSC of 5.74 mmol/L (SD±1.48) was significantly higher than that for either group (P<0.001) or the entire population (P<0.001). Mean TSC maintained this same trend among the three groups in each age category. The frequency histograms of TSC mmol for the groups are shown in Figure 1.FIGURE 1 Frequency distribution of total serum cholesterol in three groups.Download FigureTable 1 Comparison of total serum cholesterol (TSC) in various age groups (males).

The difference in mean TSC in different age categories was significant (P<0.01) as shown in Table 1 and Figure 2. Mean TSC also increased with increasing BMI (Figure 3).FIGURE 2 Comparison of mean total serum cholesterol (mmol/L) as a function of age in the three groups.Download FigureFIGURE 3 Comparison of mean total cholesterol (mmol/L) as a function of body mass index (BMI) in the three groups.Download FigureDiscussionThis study described TSC levels among free living, otherwise healthy subjects. The study subjects were males divided almost equally between Saudis and expatriates. This matches the working male population mix in the Kingdom. Ninety percent of our study participants were males between the ages of 25 and 54 years of age, which is the prime target population for cholesterol screening and the most likely beneficiaries from primary prevention trials.13 The mean TSC among Saudi males in this study is 4.93 mmol/L (SD±1.11), which is higher than that reported in a previous study of 953 volunteers.12 In that referred study, the mean TSC was 4.3 mmol/L (SD±0.97). The study population was composed mostly of young male volunteers (greater than 56% were less than 30 years old) in the oasis of Al-Kharj, 80 km south of Riyadh. Our results are in accordance with a study of 578 healthy Saudi university male students (ages 20 to 29 years) where the mean TSC was 4.8 mmol/L (SD±0.75).11 However, since TSC varies with age, only comparable age groups could be contrasted. In a large hospital-based study in Riyadh, the mean TSC was 5.25 mmol/L (SD±1.26) among males in an age group comparable to ours.10 The authors commented on the presence of a high prevalence of obesity and diabetes among their population, although no figures were quoted. These factors might have shifted the mean TSC upward. In a more recent study of 1005 Saudis attending a primary care clinic in Riyadh, the mean TSC was 5.3 mmol/L (SD±1.1) among males of an age group comparable to ours.18 The authors reported that 24% had obesity, 11% were hypertensive, and 32.8% were obese. These concomitant disorders could have contributed to the higher mean TSC in these noncommunity-based studies.There was a statistically significant difference in TSC among the three groups, being 4.93 mmol/L for Saudis (SD±1.11), 5.44 mmol/L (SD±1.12) for Arabs and 5.74 mmol/L (SD±1.48) for non-Arabs, (P<0.001) as shown in Table 1. The frequency distribution curve is shifted leftward in Arabs and furthest left in non-Arabs (Figure 5). These differences not attributed to age were not statistically different in the three groups (Table 1). TSC was significantly different in comparable age groups within the three groups, however. TSC increased progressively with age in the study population as a whole and within each group, a phenomenon that has been widely reported.19 BMI was not statistically different among the three groups and hence, could not account for the observed differences in mean TSC levels among the three groups. Significant obesity (BMI>30 kg/m2) was present in 16% of Saudi males and 15% in their expatriate counterparts (data not shown). Diabetes, hypertension and the use of potentially lipid-modifying medication were rare among the three groups. We feel the difference in TSC levels among the three groups was due to racial and/or life-style backgrounds. Most of the Arab participants were Egyptians, Sudanese or Syrians, where no data on TSC are available in their countries of origin. Most of the non-Arabs were from the Indian subcontinent (where the highest TSC levels were encountered in this study) or from Southeast Asia. No TSC data is available from these areas of the world, either. The nature of our opportunistic survey did not explore an evaluation of dietary habits or physical activity levels.FIGURE 5 Frequency distribution of desirable cholesterol level, moderate and severe hypercholesterolemia among three groups.Download FigureBorderline hypercholesterolemia (TSC 5.2 to 6.8 mmol/L) according to National institute of Health (NIH) guidelines20 was encountered in 28.8% of Saudis, 46.4% of Arabs and 45.7% of non-Arab males. Significant hypercholesterolemia (TSC >6.8 mmol/L) was encountered in 3.6%, 8.0%, and 15.7% among the three groups respectively. In a thriving society dependent on expatriate male workers, such as Saudi Arabia, the health care system will be prone to major strains if universal cholesterol screening of the target male population is carried out. Beyond cholesterol screening, further evaluation and management of more than one-third of Saudi males would be needed. Other studies have shown a high prevalence of diabetes, hypertension and obesity in Saudis attending outpatient clinics as cited above.10,18 In addition, more than half of the expatriate male population in that age range of 30 to 54 years would need further evaluation. If the results of this study and that of Inaam et al.10,18 are substantiated in larger scale studies and existing Western guidelines6,20 are followed, then specialized care, lengthy follow-up and costly drug regimes (such as the statins) would be required on a long-term basis for a further 15% of the targeted population.The need for national epidemiological studies on this subject do not need further emphasis. Our study highlights hypercholesterolemia as a potentially highly prevalent health ailment. It afflicts a significant sector of the community in their productive years. It is the target population where screening is needed and rewarding. The cholesterol screening strategy might be different for expatriate males from that of the indigenous population. More reliable data with thoughtful guidelines should help to initiate and execute a successful public health campaign.FIGURE 4 Distribution curves of total serum cholesterol in the three groups.Download FigureARTICLE REFERENCES:1.

Background Eczema is a common inflammatory skin disorder in the pediatric population. Although eczema is a significant public health issue with negative impacts on quality of life, studies looking at the prevalence and risk factors among preschool-aged children in Saudi Arabia are limited. Methods A descriptive, cross-sectional, online-based study was conducted among parents of preschool children in Hail City, Saudi Arabia, between July 2022 and September 2022. The self-administered, pre-tested questionnaire was distributed on social media networks for data gathering, which was subsequently analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS, IBM Corp., Armonk, NY) software. Results Among 964 preschool children, 54.5% of the children have been diagnosed with eczema. A total of 152 (60.1%) male children had eczema compared to 231 (59.8%) female children, while 142 (43.7%) parents had children of both genders diagnosed with eczema (P = 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression showed that male gender (odds ratio [OR] = 1.41, 95% confidence interval = 1.16-1.71), smoking in the house (OR = 1.85, 95%CI = 1.37-2.50), presence of mold or dampness in the house while the mother was pregnant (OR = 1.95, 95%CI = 1.17-3.24), house renovation during the mother's pregnancy (OR = 1.54, 95%CI = 1.01-2.34), use of an air conditioner (OR = 1.57, 95%CI = 1.07-2.30), and dry skin (OR = 5.83, 95%CI = 4.27-7.96) were significant predictors for the development of eczema. Conclusion The high prevalence of eczema among preschool-aged children in Hail indicates the need for parents to take action at the household level and beyond to successfully lower the risk of eczema development in the region.

Objective: This study examined the ability for adults from a developing country to use a personal health record (PHR) to perform health-management tasks. The effects of gender differences as well as differences in attitudes about using the internet to manage health prior to and after exposure to the PHR were also investigated.Methods: A simulation of a PHR based on a well-established U.S. online patient portal was designed and tailored for this particular study population. Two hundred and three adults with a mean age of 40.9 years were recruited from various areas in Saudi Arabia and asked to perform seven common health-management tasks of varying degrees of difficulty. Their electronic health literacy and health numeracy, as well as their attitudes about using online health systems for managing their health prior to and following their interaction with the PHR, were assessed using questionnaires.Results: After controlling for education, perceived health status, and comfort using the internet, electronic health literacy and health numeracy were still found to be significant predictors of participants’ task performance, but only for the more challenging health-management tasks. No important differences based on gender were found. Exposure to the PHR significantly increased the acceptability of using the internet for managing their health.Conclusions: The change in attitudes following interaction with the PHR suggests that many adults in this society could benefit from these electronic health systems, including females who, due to cultural considerations, may desire greater control in managing their health. However, the importance of electronic health literacy and health numeracy suggests the need for designs that minimize the impact of these factors for successful performance of health-management tasks.

To investigate the parental knowledge of pediatric rheumatic diseases in general, and in particular information regarding their children's diseases. To focus on the important role of health education in understanding these chronic diseases, and formulate a future plan for establishing a general public education program.One hundred sets of parents, of children with established rheumatic diseases with mean duration of illness, (4.1 +/- 2.83), a mean child age (9.9 +/- 3.15) years, were given a 20 multiple choice questionnaire during their routine visit to the Pediatric Rheumatology Clinic and Physiotherapy Department or to the pediatric ward at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, over a 6-month period between December 1998 and June 1999. The questionnaire addressed 4 main areas: 1. parental awareness regarding their children's diagnosis and duration, 2. source of information and parental satisfaction, 3. general knowledge about rheumatic diseases and 4. knowledge about medical and physical therapy. The total possible score is 23.The overall mean score is 11.6. The mean total score is not affected by the parental education level. The majority of parents have wrong beliefs, regarding rheumatic diseases. The treating physician is the main source of parental information and in the majority of the parents, this information is satisfactory.The questionnaire is a simple and easy test to investigate parental knowledge regarding pediatric rheumatic diseases. The survey shows the need for health education programs and a future general public health education plan to improve awareness of pediatric rheumatic diseases and maybe other chronic illness.

Community pharmacists' interventions have been found to be highly effective. However, to date, there has been little information about pharmacists' potential roles and perceived barriers to providing smoking cessation. This study aimed to assess the potential role of community pharmacists in supporting their patients to quit smoking by summarizing their self-reported level of current activities, confidence, and perceived barriers; Methods: A self-administered questionnaire was used for a cross-sectional study in Saudi Arabia. As part of the questionnaire, demographic characteristics were measured, as well as confidence, perceived berries, and level of smoking cessation activities (asking, advising, assessing, assisting, and arranging, including follow-up).; Results: 370 community pharmacists practicing responded to the survey. Pharmacists indicated high activity rates about advising and assessing patients in quitting smoking, with lower rates of assisting and arranging, including following up. The rate of recording smoking status was very low. There were significant differences between gender, source of education, years practicing as a licensed pharmacist, attended an education or training program on smoking cessation, and interest in providing smoking and perceived practice of smoking cessation. Pharmacists are confident about providing smoking cessation activities. Barriers to providing smoking cessation services include unable to follow up, lack of counseling space, lack of educational materials, and lack of time.; Conclusions: Saudi Arabian community pharmacists actively offer smoking cessation services, which may reduce smoking-related health issues. It appears that pharmacists need to be empowered by team-based, systematic, comprehensive approaches to overcome barriers and enhance their confidence.

Background Mental health disorders, such as major depressive disorder (MDD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), represent a significant public health concern in Saudi Arabia. This study aims to provide a recent mental health screening prevalence, including anxiety and depression screening in the general public and to explore the associated risk factors. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted, employing a phone interview survey with 6,015 participants, using a quota sampling strategy to ensure equal representation of both sexes and administrative regions. The study assessed the prevalence of MDD and GAD risk and examined demographic, socioeconomic, and lifestyle factors associated with these mental health disorders. Results The national prevalence of people at risk of MDD and GAD were found to be 12.7 and 12.4%, respectively. Low diagnosis and treatment rates were observed, with only 1.5 and 0.5% of participants currently diagnosed and treated for depression and anxiety, respectively. Risk factors for MDD and GAD included female sex, lower education and income levels, smoking, and waterpipe use. Protective factors included physical activity, participation in volunteering activities and the practice of daily hobbies in the last 30 days. Conclusion The relatively high prevalence of MDD and GAD risk and low diagnosis and treatment rates in Saudi Arabia emphasize the need for increased mental health promotion, early detection, and treatment accessibility. The study highlights the importance of addressing modifiable risk factors and fostering protective factors through targeted interventions. Future research should focus on longitudinal associations, potential mediators and moderators, and the development of culturally appropriate and evidence-based interventions to enhance mental health outcomes in the region.

Background: Self-medication is vital to public health because it has an impact on people's health and the current healthcare system, both positively and negatively. During public health catastrophes like the COVID-19 disease, this is particularly true. Aim: This study aimed to examine the behavioral response of the community with regard to self-medication during the COVID-19 pandemic in the eastern region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Methods: During the COVID-19 outbreak from March to September 2020, a cross-sectional online survey of 398 participants using structured questionnaires was conducted to observe knowledge, prevalence, patterns, and sources of self-medication among the respondents in the eastern region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Results: The percentage of respondents who had heard about self-medication was 50.5%, and those who practiced self-medication during COVID-19 were 43.7% of the respondents. Regarding knowledge, 60.3% had a low overall knowledge level versus 39.7% who had a high knowledge level. Most of those who practiced self-medication took medication based on their own decision (34.4%). The most frequently used drugs during the outbreak were analgesics (43.5%) and vitamins (24.9%). Only 1% of participants reported using anti-malaria drugs (hydroxychloroquine). The most common reasons for self-medication practices were having a mild illness (30.4%), followed by fear of infection (26.6%). The symptoms for which the respondents took self-medication were headache (29.6%), cough (26.6%), and fever (24.6%). Conclusion: Our investigation showed a low level of knowledge about self-medication and a considerable level of self-medication practices. Therefore, self-medication may be minimized with ongoing awareness-raising and sensitization.

Africa being part of the global village is challenged by unprecedented and persistent emerging infectious diseases threats and outbreaks. Recent memories of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) outbreaks in Saudi Arabia (2012) and South Korea (2015), West Africa Ebola viral disease outbreak and public health humanitarian crisis (2014) and China’s SARS outbreaks. Various differences and similarities between these diseases have triggered serious concerns and magnified that similar outbreaks could occur anywhere in the world with lingering health complications, socio-political and economic crises. Yet, there is dearth of knowledge on MERS-CoV reservoirs, risk factors of emergence, infectivity and transmissibility in Africa and globally. This paper highlights forward approaches and key activities to the African Union, governments and institutions and all stakeholders including public-private partnership. These play paramount roles in providing information and support to address MERS-CoV and other emerging infectious diseases research gaps, (2) promoting community alertness and resilience in preparedness, (3) fostering effective and coordinated logistics in risk communication, planning and response in MERS-CoV public mobilization literacy and awareness, advocacy and mitigation. There is an urgent need to establish an integrated and strategic evidence-based local and nationwide surveillance and response capacity, (5) better understand the MERS-CoV animal reservoir(s) and human-human infectivity and transmissibility, and (6) implement informed community-based or national threat and epidemics actionable emergency insurance facility and compensation schemes. Conclusively, improved early warning, active and integrated epidemiological and genomic surveillance indicators data gathering to inform and guide effective and community resilience capability in consolidating and upholding knowledge gains from “One Health Surveillance Network” and best practices in achieving “One Health” and global health security.

shaken baby syndrome (SBS) is an abusive head trauma inflicted on infants and young children. Injuries induced by shaking can result in death or permanent neurologic disability. It is difficult to know the exact number of SBS cases per year because many cases of SBS are not reported and/or never receive a diagnosis. From a public health perspective, creating greater awareness about SBS is important. Previous studies have revealed poor awareness and knowledge about shaken baby syndrome. In this study our aims to investigate the awareness, knowledge level, and attitude regarding shaken baby syndrome and to highlight the sources and factors associated with SBS knowledge among parents of the pediatric population in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.a cross-sectional study was conducted between January 2021 and September 2021. A validated electronic questionnaire was distributed among parents of the pediatric population in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia using the convenient random sampling method; SPSS version 22 was used to analyze the collected data.the study involved 577 participants; 59.8% were mothers and 96.5% were Saudis. A total of 32.1% had previously heard about SBS. The overall knowledge mean score was low (2.95 + 1.74), and attitude was positive among 82.5% of the participants. The factors significantly associated with knowledge level were gender, marital status, and occupation.the participants had poor knowledge and awareness about SBS, but, despite that, they expressed a positive attitude toward learning more about it. This should prompt health authorities to increase efforts to improve public awareness and knowledge about SBS.

Abstract The International Work Group on Death, Dying and Bereavement was founded in 1974 and consists of an international group of clinicians, scholars, and researchers in this field. At a recent meeting in London, the above members of the group crystallized the following working document, which has evolved over a 3-year period with input from representatives of the following developing countries: Bangladesh, Chile, China, Columbia, Hong Kong, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Thailand, the West Indies, and Zimbabwe. This working document may be of value not only to governments and health care system planners, but also to the public, who will be the providers and receivers of health care. It can be used as a basis for developing both educational services and health care delivery systems.

Background: The growing improvement in urbanisation, modes of transportation and the expansion of sedentary behaviour, both at work and home, have resulted in declining rates of physical activity (PA) worldwide. Nearly one-third of the global population aged 15 and over are insufficiently active. The negative effect of physical inactivity has been evidenced and ranked fourth as the lethal cause of death globally. Therefore, the aim of this research was to explore the factors influencing PA participation among youths from different geographical locations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Methods: Sixteen focus groups (males = 8 and females = 8) were conducted with a total of 120 secondary school students (male = 63 and female = 57) aged between 15 and 19 years. The focus groups were analysed to identify key themes through the process of thematic analysis. Results: Results from the focus groups indicated that a lack of time, safety, parental support, policies, access to sport and PA facilities, and transportation, as well as climate were reported as barriers to PA participation. Discussion and conclusion: The current research contributes to the scarce literature focused on the multidimensional effects on Saudi youth PA behaviour from different geographical locations. This qualitative approach has provided the participants a voice, and the overall study offers valuable evidence as well as invaluable information to policymakers, public health departments, and local authorities for PA intervention based on the environment and the community.

Simultaneously with the development of the COVID-19 vaccination plan for minors, it is critical to understand the reasons related to parental COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy. This study aims to determine the reasons associated with vaccination hesitancy among parents, and the prevalence and the characteristics of the parents who are hesitant to allow their children aged between 5 to 11 years old to be administered the COVID-19 vaccines. A web-based questionnaire was used to perform this study between May 2022 to September 2022 in Saudi Arabia (SA). Several factors, personal and social, affected the participants’ willingness to vaccinate their children with the COVID-19 vaccines. The age of the parents was found to have a significant impact on their decision to vaccinate their children. Those between the age of 40–49 years of age were the most willing to vaccinate (almost 41%) compared to those 50 years or older who were most resistant to vaccination. Female participants were more resistant to vaccinating their children compared to their male counterparts. Saudis were more resistant to vaccinating their children compared to the non-Saudi participants. Those private sector-employed parents were the most willing to vaccinate (16.6%), followed by those working in the governmental sector (13.8%). About 40.7% of non-healthcare workers were resistant to vaccinating their minor compared to healthcare workers (8.7%). In conclusion, the study presents several factors that affect the parental willingness to vaccinate their children in SA. These factors should be properly addressed when developing public health strategies to promote the COVID-19 vaccination of children in SA.

PURPOSE Obesity and dental caries constitute an important public health problem worldwide. Special-needs children are at higher risk of developing dental caries and obesity because of their physical, neurological, or behavioural impairment or due to side effects of the medications they take. The present study was conducted to assess the association between dental caries and obesity among children with special health care needs in Taif City, Saudi Arabia. MATERIALS AND METHODS A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 400 (220 girls and 180 boys) special-needs children. Body mass index (BMI) was determined by using height and weight measurements. Dental caries was recorded according to World Health Organization criteria. The association between caries and obesity was assessed using multivariable logistic regression analysis. RESULTS 289 (72.3%) children presented with caries with mean dmft and DMFT of 3.9 ± 2.7 and 4.8 ± 2.3, respectively. Regression analysis showed specials needs children were at a greater risk of having dental caries: 1.69 times (CI: 0.18-2.62, p < 0.05) greater with obesity; 2.01 (CI: 0.18-3.09, p < 0.05) times greater with sugar consumption; 2.21 times (CI: 1.27-4.12, p < 0.001) greater with cerebral palsy; and 2.27 (CI: 1.29-5.12, p < 0.001) times greater with intellectual disability. CONCLUSION The present study showed a positive association between dental caries and obesity among children of special health care needs. Hence, a focused approach towards the common risk factors is essential to prevent both obesity and dental caries in special-needs children.

Abstract Background Knowing what to eat and realizing the significance of healthful eating habits are among the important steps to promoting eating behavior. The current study aims to assess the nutrition knowledge (NK) among a convenient sample in four different countries, determine the association between different demographic factors and NK, and investigate the need for future interventions on nutrition in the four selected countries. Methods A cross-sectional multi-national survey study among a convenient sample of 8,191 subjects from Egypt, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan who undertook surveys between January 2019 and January 2020. A pre-tested interview questionnaire was utilized for data collection from study participants. It included three sections: i) Sociodemographic characteristics:. ii). Section two included twenty-one questions related to NK.. iii). Section three included one question about NK sources. Results About three-quarters showed inadequate nutrition knowledge (73.1%). Youth (15–24 yrs.) were more dependent on social media, with 87% using it as a primary source of NK, while adults (≥ 25 yrs.) demonstrated that 43% of them used social media. In contrast, TV was more prominent among them, with participants’ characteristics such as living with parents, body mass index, and country of residence showing no association with NK. However, female sex, education, and reading nutrition articles are significantly correlated with adequate knowledge ( p < 0.001). Significant predictors of satisfactory knowledge were age, sex, education, living with parents, and reading nutrition articles. Conclusion The study revealed low levels of NK indicating an urgent need to implement educational programs to promote nutrition knowledge. As NK is a modifiable determinant of diet intake and can positively impact the need for developing strategies in counselling and raising awareness among the general population to improve their health status.

Objectives: To study the primary health care physician's perception of the need for continuing medical education, current continuing medical education activities and problems faced. Methods: A cross-sectional survey using a confidential, self-administered, and pre-tested questionnaire was conducted. The questionnaire was mailed to 441 primary care physicians practicing in health centers in 4 regions in Saudi Arabia. Methods of continuing medical education currently practiced, reasons preventing continuing medical education activities, content of continuing medical education as perceived by the physicians and factors affecting the easiness of keeping up-to-date were included. Results: The overall response rate was 66%. The majority of physicians practiced private reading (88%). attended lectures and presentations (59%) and discussion meetings in health centers (56%). as methods of continuing medical education. The main reasons for not attending continuing medical education activities were lack of time (59%), and pressure of work (52%). The majority of physicians would like to acquire more knowledge on clinical subjects (pediatrics 81%, emergency medicine 76%, Obstetrics/Gynecology 61% and dermatology 65%). For the future, the preferred methods for continuing medical education were clinical experience in hospitals (76%), lectures and presentations (70%) and private reading (63%). Physicians from urban health centers, from busy health centers and those who have more continuing medical education activities in health centers had more difficulty in keeping up-to-date. Conclusion: The two important problems preventing physicians working in health centers from attending continuing medical education activities were lack of time and pressure of work. These need to be tackled by planners of continuing medical education programs. Busy physicians and physicians in urban health centers need more help to keep up-to-date.

The COVID-19 pandemic might add to the stressors experienced by people living with rheumatic diseases. This study aimed to examine rheumatic patients' functional and psychosocial states during the pandemic and assess its impact on their quality of life.Our time-series study included a patient-centered electronic survey, sampling adult rheumatic patients living in Saudi Arabia at different time points from March to August 2020. Patient-reported outcomes included physical function, anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep disturbance, ability to participate in social roles, and pain interference domains were measured using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS-29 Profile v2.1).A total of 1278 respondents were enrolled. Results showed significant variation in patients' experiences. Our analyses revealed that the physical well-being of rheumatic patients was significantly impacted, and such effect was persistent over time irrespective of public health measures to control the COVID-19 outbreak.Our findings consistently demonstrated the need for psychological and social consideration to improve rheumatic patients' quality of life. Nevertheless, there is still a lot to be learned about the extent of COVID-19 impact on rheumatic patients and the implications it has on long-term disease outcomes.

Our objectives are to assess the public attitude toward mentally ill people and mental health services and to compare the attitudes of those who have past history of mental illness, those who have been exposed to mentally ill people, and those who have not.We conducted a cross-sectional study among subjects (n=1268) in four Saudi Arabian cities (Riyadh, Abha, Dammam, and Jizan), recruiting participants from malls and parks. All participants were administered "the knowledge and attitudes toward mental illness and mental health services scale".Participants were divided into three groups; non-exposed to mental illness group (n=687, 54.1%), exposed to mental illness group (n=305, 24%), and having past history of mental illness group (n=276, 21.8%). Results revealed that non-exposed group had the lowest knowledge about mental illness (p <0.001). Exposed group had the best attitude toward mentally ill people (p=0.002), mental health services (p< 0.001), the lowest impact of traditional beliefs (p<0.001), and the best help-seeking decisions (p = 0.001). Regression models show the variables that predicted attitude toward the mentally ill were the attitude toward mental health services (p=0.001), impact of traditional beliefs (p=0.001), and residency (p=0.04). The predictors of attitude toward mental health services were impact of traditional beliefs (p<0.001), knowledge (p<0.001), and residency (p=0.028). And the variables that account for predicting future decisions were impact of traditional beliefs (p<0.001), attitude toward mental health services (p=0.001), and having past history of mental illness (p=0.006).This study demonstrates significant differences in attitudes toward mental illness among different groups of participants. Lesser impact of traditional beliefs and better knowledge about mental illness were the factors most associated with better attitudes toward mentally ill people and mental health services and with better help-seeking behavior.

The Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) has exhibited super-spreading events in recent years. In this work, we investigate the effects a possible super-spreading event in one of the largest annual mass gatherings: the Hajj season in the Kingdome Saudi Arabia (KSA). Since the KSA has the most significant confirmed number of MERS-CoV, we assume that super-spreaders are only from the local population. By the use of an extended SIR model, we considered two subpopulations: local and non-local pilgrims, were calculated the basic reproduction number and final size of the epidemic. Simulation of the existing data gives find the estimation of the basic reproduction number is less than one, although the final size of the epidemic shows proportionality to the super-spreading effect.

The promotion of physical activity (PA) in various subgroups of the population such as people with physical disabilities has been spotlighted in the revised guidelines of The World Health Organization (WHO), Geneva, Switzerland. In order to update public health interventions, there is a need to identify factors that may promote or prevent engagement in PA for special subgroups of the population. This study aims to calculate the PA levels of individuals with and without physical disabilities in Saudi Arabia, their assessment of the environmental (EQoL), and the predictive role of EQoL in PA. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and the EQoL domain in standardized WHOQoL Questionnaire were administered on both groups of the population. The study sample comprised 116 individuals with physical disabilities and 243 individuals without any form of disability as a control group. A regression analysis was performed to analyze the predictors of PA in both groups. Findings showed that among the individuals with disabilities, older people were more likely to engage in PA as compared to the younger age group (p < 0.05) and males were significantly less likely to meet the PA criteria. Some of the EQoL features such as safety increased the likelihood of PA up to 2.3 times (p < 0.05) in individuals with physical disabilities. In addition, opportunities for leisure activities were a significant predictor of PA among both groups of individuals with and without physical disabilities (p < 0.05). Our findings suggest that upcoming public health interventions should focus on improving various dimensions of EQoL for the promotion of physical activity among individuals with physical disabilities. Additional studies are needed to further explore various sociodemographic and environmental factors which can affect the PA status of disabled groups.

Background: Increasing awareness level and health education can reduce the burden of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) at community base. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to assess the level of knowledge towards CKD manifestations in Saudi Arabia. Methodology: This is a descriptive prospective study including 900 apparently health Saudi volunteers, their ages ranging from 18 to 65 years old with a mean age of 34 years. A purposeful questionnaire was deliberated and used for obtaining data about the CKD. Results: Out of 900 contributors, 268 (29.8%) were males and 632 (70.2%) were females, giving males:females ratio of 1.00:2.36. About 102/900 (11.3%) of the participants (all of them were females) were found to believe that CKD has no specific symptoms. Conclusion: The awareness towards CKD manifestation is relatively low, which necessitates the important of community based intervention including health educational programs.

The perceived of those susceptible to breast cancer (BC) such as female adolescent is significant. Early detection lead to early prevention. The present study aimed to probe the perception of female adolescent at age group of 15-20 years in Riyadh about BC (phenomena) and the relationship between demographic characteristics of students and their perception regarding BC as a way of improving high school student toward health knowledge. A cross-sectional prospective study conducted among governmental and private school students. The study was conducted in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from February to May 2014. A Representative probability sample of secondary school girls (n=917) in both Governmental and private was recruited for conducting this study. A structured questionnaire was developed which included part about four constructs of Health Belief Model and other parts about sociodemographic data and items related to students’ source of information about BC. The validity and reliability for the scale was established. It was found that the perceived level of participants was moderate (M=3; SD =1.07) which provide an important baseline data about perception of toward BC. It is crucial to improve students level of perception toward BC and practice of breast self-examination (BSE) among female adolescent students within community. A further study is needed to explore the perception of female adolescent using both quantitative and qualitative methodology to elicit cultural issue in BC perception and breast self-exam.

Environmental pollution is a leading global challenge affecting weather conditions and causing severe environmental, social, and public health problems. This study explores the impact of ambient air pollutants, particular matter (PM), PM2.5 and PM10 on morbidity and mortality of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) globally.In this study, initially 492 research articles were identified through seven search engines containing Web of Science, Medline, PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, WHO COVID-19 literature, and Ovid databases by consuming keywords "Environmental pollution, Ambient air pollutants, particulate matter, PM2.5, PM10, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and COVID-19 pandemic". Finally, 26 original research publications were included for the analysis, and the remaining were excluded. These studies were originated from the United States of America (9), China (5), Italy (3), India (1), worldwide (1), and one study each from England, Spain, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Japan, and Iran.The analysis based on a worldwide dataset assembled the information from the global literature from December 2019 to September 30, 2021. The assessment for the various regions to a global extent was based on air pollutants and COVID-19 cases and deaths. Twenty- six studies met the selection criteria representing almost all over the world. Based on the synthesis of scientific studies, it was identified that PM2.5 and PM10 are associated with 15.08%, 11.44 increased COVID-19 cases, and 9.26% and 0.75% COVID-19 deaths, respectively.The evidence indicates that PM2.5 and PM10 can affect COVID-19 epidemiology in various geographical regions. The findings established an association and a possible causal link between increasing ambient air pollutants, particulate matter PM2.5 and PM10 with increased incidence and mortality of COVID-19. The global health authorities must take strict preventive measures to minimize air pollution and combat such challenging and threatening COVID-19 pandemic globally.

The prevalence of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection during the period of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains uncertain.This study aimed to provide an update on the epidemiology of MERS-CoV in Saudi Arabia from January 2019 to October 2020.Data on all laboratory-confirmed cases of MERS-CoV infection in Saudi Arabia from January 2019 to 20 October 2020 were retrieved from the Health Electronic Surveillance Network of the Ministry of Health of Saudi Arabia. Data collected were: demographic characteristics of cases, clinical course of the infection, related mortality and association with exposure to confirmed cases or camels.In total, 299 cases of MERS-CoV infection were reported in the study period. The mean age of cases was 52.4 years. Most of the cases were males (78.9%) and had comorbidities (72.7%), and 11.9% of cases were health care providers. Of the 299 cases, 83 (27.7%) died. Older age and having comorbidities were associated with higher mortality. Exposure to camels was associated with lower mortality. Health care providers also had a lower mortality rate than non-health care providers. Compared with COVID-19, MERS-CoV infection still has a higher mortality rate but with a more predictable pattern and an anticipated deterioration.MERS-CoV infection remains a public health concern. The percentage of cases that were health care providers (11.9%) is lower than previously reported (19.1-25.0%), possibly due to the various preventive measures put in place to control COVID-19.فيروس كورونا المسبب لمتلازمة الشرق الأوسط التنفسية في حقبة كوفيد-19: تحديث من المملكة العربية السعودية، 2019–2020.أنس خان، شرف الدين بن نفيسه، بندر مزاحم، بخيتة العيد، دالية المطرفي، عبد الله عسيري، هاني جوخدار.ما زال معدل انتشار العدوى بفيروس كورونا المسبب لمتلازمة الشرق الأوسط التنفسية خلال حقبة مرض فيروس كورونا 2019 (كوفيد-19) غير مؤكد.هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى تقديم أحدث المعلومات عن الخصائص الوبائية لفيروس كورونا المسبب لمتلازمة الشرق الأوسط التنفسية في المملكة العربية السعودية في الفترة من يناير / كانون الثاني 2019 وحتى أكتوبر/ تشرين الأول 2020.جُعت بيانات جميع الحالات المؤكدة مختبريًا لعدوى فيروس كورونا المسبب لمتلازمة الشرق الأوسط التنفسية في المملكة العربية السعودية من يناير / كانون الثاني 2019 وحتى أكتوبر/ تشرين الأول 2020 من نظام "حصن" الإلكتروني التابع لوزارة الصحة في المملكة العربية السعودية. وتمثلت البيانات التي جُعت في: الخصائص السكانية للحالات، والمسار السريري للعدوى، والوفيات ذات الصلة وارتباطها بالتعرض للحالات المؤكدة أو الإبل.إجما لً، أُبلِغ بوجود 299 حالة عدوى بفيروس كورونا المسبب لمتلازمة الشرق الأوسط التنفسية أثناء فترة الدراسة. وكان متوسط عمر الحالات 52.4 عامًا. وكانت معظم الحالات من الذكور (78.9٪)، وكانت لديهم اعتلالات مصاحبة (72.7٪)، فيما كان 11.9٪ من الحالات من مقدمي الرعاية الصحية. ومن بين 299 حالة تُوفِّيت 83 (27.7٪). وارتبط التقدم في العمر ووجود اعتلالات مصاحبة بارتفاع معدل الوفيات. وارتبط التعرض للإبل بانخفاض معدل الوفيات. كما كان معدل الوفيات في صفوف مقدمي الرعاية الصحية أقل منه في صفوف غير مقدمي الرعاية الصحية. وبالمقارنة مع كوفيد-19، لا يزال معدل الوفيات الناجمة عن عدوى فيروس كورونا المسبب لمتلازمة الشرق الأوسط التنفسية أكثر ارتفاعًا، ولكنه يسير بنمط أكثر قابلية للتنبؤ به وبتدهور أكثر توقعًا.لا تزال عدوى فيروس كورونا المسبب لمتلازمة الشرق الأوسط التنفسية تسبب قلقًا صحيًا عامًا. وتقل نسبة الحالات التي كانت في صفوف مقدمي خدمات الرعاية الصحية (11.9٪) عما سبق التبليغ به (19.1-25.0٪)، وربما يعود ذلك إلى مختلف التدابير الوقائية التي اتُّذَت لمكافحة كوفيد-19.Le coronavirus du syndrome respiratoire du Moyen-Orient à l'ère de la COVID-19 : le point sur la situation en Arabie saoudite en 2019-2020.La prévalence de l'infection par le coronavirus du syndrome respiratoire du Moyen-Orient (MERS-CoV) pendant la pandémie de maladie à coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) reste incertaine.La présente étude visait à faire le point sur l'épidémiologie du MERS-CoV en Arabie saoudite entre janvier 2019 et octobre 2020.Les données sur tous les cas d'infection par le MERS-CoV en Arabie saoudite, confirmés en laboratoire, entre janvier 2019 et le 20 octobre 2020 ont été extraites du réseau de surveillance électronique sanitaire du ministère saoudien de la Santé. Les données recueillies étaient les suivantes : caractéristiques démographiques des cas, évolution clinique de l'infection, mortalité associée et lien avec une exposition à des cas confirmés ou à des chameaux.Au total, 299 cas d'infection par le MERS-CoV ont été rapportés pendant la période de l'étude. L'âge moyen des personnes concernées était de 52,4 ans. La plupart des cas étaient de sexe masculin (78,9 %) et présentaient des comorbidités (72,7 %) ; 11,9 % des cas étaient des prestataires de soins de santé. Sur les 299 cas, 83 (27 , 7 %) sont décédés. Un âge avancé et la présence de comorbidités étaient des facteurs associés à une mortalité plus élevée. En revanche, l'exposition à des chameaux était corrélée à une moindre mortalité. Le taux de mortalité des prestataires de soins de santé était également inférieur à celui du reste des sujets. Par rapport à la COVID-19, l'infection par le MERSCoV présente toujours un taux de mortalité plus élevé, mais affiche un schéma plus prévisible et un processus de détérioration de l'état anticipé.L'infection par le MERS-CoV demeure un problème de santé publique. Le pourcentage des cas correspondant à des prestataires de soins de santé (11,9 %) est inférieur aux valeurs rapportées précédemment (19,1-25,0 %), peut-être grâce aux différentes mesures de prévention mises en place pour lutter contre la COVID-19.

To explore the extent of osteoporosis knowledge and evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention education program delivered to a group of female employees in King Saud University. One hundred and sixty female employees in different colleges from King Saud University, Riyadh, Kingdom Saudi Arabia. Employees were randomly selected from the University. A self reported questionnaire was administered to all participants who agreed to participate. Information obtained including: Personal and socio-economic data, age, marital status, education and experience. Also questions related to their some dietary habit and life style. The questionnaire on osteoporosis knowledge was given to the participants before the sessions (pretest) and repeated after the intervention on the same participants (posttest). Questions related to the character of the disease: osteoporosis prevalence and risk factors; manifestations, diagnosis, nutritional prevention and, history of complication and history of treatment. The intervention study consisted of two stages. Stage I: was a one day health education session prepared to respond to the actual needs of the participants that have been identified by the preliminary study. The session was in the form of a lecture to orient the participants of the scientific facts related to the disease and information regarding it. This was followed by an open group discussion with the participants regarding any problem facing them and allowing them to discuss freely the sound management of the diseases. Stage II: To clarify the impact of the intervention program, it was evaluated three months later by asking the participants the same questions used in the pre-intervention questionnaire. As regards the osteoporosis knowledge the majority of the studied group (63%) had heard about osteoporosis mostly from Television (35%). As regards dietary habit and life style it was noticed from our results the majority of the participants were infrequent consumption of food rich calcium and phosphorus as well as food rich vitamin D. High percent of participants (61%) caffeine intake and majority of them (41%) rarely make exercise. Our results showed that the majority of participants had limited knowledge as regards risk factors as cigarette smoking and caffeine as well as soda drinks, treatment and prevention behaviors. It showed a significant improvement in the knowledge of the disease and dietary practice. As a result of the educational session, the attitude of participants towards physical activity, nutrition and unhealthy lifestyle has positively increased to 97%. According to our results, a considerable number of participants are unaware of the risk factors and the consequences of osteoporosis. The majority of the participants were infrequent consumption of food rich calcium and phosphorus as well as food rich vitamin D and are lacking in knowledge regards to calcium rich foods sources and physical activity. The existing results will be used in developing intervention that promotes healthy lifestyle practices for the prevention of osteoporosis among middle age and elderly women.

Introduction The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is in a unique position and different from other nations that periodically host an event, such as the World Cup or the Olympics. The KSA is faced annually with millions of pilgrims coming from around the world to participate in the Hajj, Umrah, and Ziarah rituals. Continuously hosting such huge mass gatherings poses overwhelming challenges to the Saudi healthcare system. Consequently, an additional specialized cadre of qualified public health personnel is needed. The purpose of this article is to describe the establishment of an academic public health program that addresses this need. Materials & Methods In response to the dire need for public health specialists, a landmark project was launched in 2013 at Alfaisal University (AU). The project aimed to establish a Master of Public Health (MPH) program with a concentration in the health aspects of mass gatherings. The MPH program was created in collaboration with the United States-based Partners HealthCare International (PHI), the Saudi Global Center for Mass Gatherings Medicine (GCMGM) at the Ministry of Health (MOH), the Ministry of Education (MOE), and the Ministry of Hajj and Umrah (MOHU). A needs assessment was conducted to help in the program development. The needs assessment drew on the unpublished findings of an institutional review board (IRB)-approved anonymous market survey that was administered to prospective students of the MPH program. Results The needs assessment study revealed the need for an MPH program with concentrations in mass gatherings health, health policy and management, and biostatistics and epidemiology. Consequently, we designed an MPH program to include these three concentrations. In particular, the mass gatherings health concentration aimed at preparing qualified public health specialists to help manage risks to the Saudi public health system, to analyze health data, and to recommend policies associated with the continuous mass gatherings events. Challenges to program development included working with multiple governmental agencies, absence of a frame of reference to develop a program curriculum, a lack of qualified faculty, lengthy and tedious government approval procedures, and inadequate funding. After obtaining the required approvals, the MPH program with a concentration in mass gatherings health was inaugurated in the fall of 2016. This program is accredited by the Saudi government to prepare public health specialists trained and locally certified in mass gatherings health issues. Conclusions The public health experts of the AU have established what may be the first MPH program with a concentration in mass gatherings health. The main challenges to program development were identified, and appropriate actions to meet these challenges were taken. This innovative MPH produces certified specialists equipped with the analytical and policy-making tools necessary to continuously monitor and improve the public health aspects of mass gatherings. Besides, the program provides a frame of reference for the development of unique public health programs, not only in the KSA but worldwide.

This study assessed the level of public knowledge regarding ionizing radiation, the sources of information available to the public, and the preferred sources of education. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. A 15-question survey was distributed to participants who attended a radiation awareness activity held for the public. Participants were asked to rank their confidence regarding ionizing radiation knowledge on a Likert-style scale. They also answered questions on their perception of risks, the source from which they received health information, and their preferred method of education. Only 3% of the 244 participants were “knowledgeable” about ionizing radiation. Nine percent stated they were confident about their ionizing radiation knowledge, and they were more knowledgeable than unconfident individuals ( p = 0.041). Age, gender, and education level played no role in ionizing radiation knowledge ( p = 0.746, p = 0.245, and p = 0.060, respectively). Among those who had undergone a medical imaging investigation during the past year, only 24% received an explanation of the risks and benefits. Participants overestimated the risk of nuclear plants, as this was selected as the source with the greatest risk to health, followed by medical sources. Most of those who had prior knowledge searched for the information on the internet (34%), however, more participants would prefer to receive education from their healthcare providers (36%).

The current outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has attained the dimensions of a pandemic and World Health Organization (WHO) has declared it a global emergency and given it a name of COVID-19. It may remain asymptomatic, but usually presents as influenza-like symptoms initially. It spreads from zoonotic sources, which are still under investigation. Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) is the only available diagnostic and confirmatory lab assay for SARS-CoV-2. There is no specific antiviral drug or vaccine against SARS-CoV-2, hence infected and suspected cases are dependent on supportive treatment along with few anti-HIV drugs. Evidence suggests that, in Pakistan, all cases have returned from Iran and Saudi Arabia after pilgrimage. The number of patients has been increasing gradually. Almost all of the neighboring countries of Pakistan are suffering from an outbreak. So, a big threat is there. Pakistani health authorities need to take critical action urgently. Moreover, it is necessary to take basic preventive measurements including hand washing, use of face masks, keeping the distance from suspected patients and avoiding unnecessary traveling to overcrowded areas. It is concluded that the developing countries might be at higher risk including Pakistan. Personnel and community-based strategy is required to avoid any serious consequences in Pakistan. We searched relevant studies and papers from Google, Google Scholar, National Institute of Health (Pakistan) and WHO by using various medical subject heading (MeSH) terms including COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, MERS, Preventive Measurements of COVID etc. All downloaded articles were carefully read and conclusions drawn.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Social media has played a key role in mediating the communication of information during the COVID-19 pandemic. The way information is shared through social media shapes people’s risk perceptions, which in turn affects their mental health and behaviors. This study aimed to assess social media’s impact on the public’s risk perceptions, mental health, and preventive behaviors during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A Web-based survey was developed to assess social media exposure, risk perceptions, mental health, and COVID-19-related preventive behaviors among adults in Saudi Arabia. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the association between social media exposure and key measurements. <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total of 1,500 individuals participated in the study; of those, 93.2% of participants reported using social media for COVID-19-related information. Twitter (68.3%) followed by Snapchat (25.1%) were the most used platforms. About 44.4% of participants were highly exposed to social media. High social media exposure was significantly associated with higher risks of anxiety (OR = 1.56, 95% CI: 1.19–2.05) and depression (OR = 1.47, 95% CI: 1.01–2.81) and higher levels of COVID-19 risk perception (OR = 1.43, 95% CI: 1.08–1.89). However, social media has no significant impact on the adoption of preventive behaviors. <b><i>Discussion/Conclusion:</i></b> Our results were consistent with the other international studies that were conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. The anticipated future increase in social media use urges the need for longitudinal studies to investigate the psychological and behavioral effects of social media during emerging pandemics.

The purpose of this exploratory study is to provide an overview of a web-based health educational site created by the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center (KFSH&RC) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Sources of data included two interviews with Saudi IT personnel, three health educators, and two medical consultants working at KFSH&RC. The interviews ranged between 45 minutes and 120 minutes. The KFSH&RC website was also searched for the type of health information content posted. Results show that the KFSH&RC web-based health educational site provides health information through a medical encyclopedia, a social networking platform, health educational links, and targeted health information for children, which includes tools such as games and coloring books. Further research is needed on the effectiveness of the KFSH&RC web-based health education site in terms of improving knowledge and changing behavior of Saudi patients. The study recommends that targeted web-based health education strategies should be developed to reach large rural populations which have inadequate computer skills and limited access to the internet.

Tobacco smoking is one of the leading risk factors for ill health and death worldwide. Adolescence is the starting age of smoking for most current smokers worldwide. This study aimed to explore the prevalence of tobacco, the habits of different types of former smokers, and their relationship to other specialties and sociodemographic data. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University (IMSIU), Saudi Arabia. An online questionnaire was sent to students’ emails to assess their smoking prevalence and tobacco and nicotine product habits. Results: Of the 895 students in IMSIU who participated in our survey, most reported having never used/tried tobacco, representing (76.4%). Most of the students who smoke began to smoke within the last five years (46.4%), which strongly indicates that they started to smoke when they entered the university. When students were asked about the time they like to smoke, most reported that they smoke when they feel stressed/under pressure (57.1%). There was a strong relationship between having a family member who smokes and being a smoker (53.1%). Conclusions: The prevalence of cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, and Shisha was 18.3%, 5%, and 11%, respectively. Anti-smoking regulations at the university level should be periodically reviewed to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of tobacco control strategies.

The study of dynamics is interesting because of the various self-organization phenomena resulting from the interactions of many pedestrians, which may improve or obstruct their flow. Besides formation of lanes of uniform walking direction and oscillations at bottlenecks at moderate densities, it was recently discovered that stop-and-go waves [D. Helbing et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 168001 (2006)] and a phenomenon called crowd turbulence can occur at high pedestrian densities [D. Helbing et al., Phys. Rev. E 75, 046109 (2007)]. Although the behavior of pedestrian crowds under extreme conditions is decisive for the safety of crowds during the access to or egress from mass events as well as for situations of emergency evacuation, there is still a lack of empirical studies of extreme crowding. Therefore, this paper discusses how one may study high-density conditions based on suitable video data. This is illustrated at the example of pilgrim flows entering the previous Jamarat Bridge in Mina, 5 kilometers from the Holy Mosque in Makkah, Saudi-Arabia. Our results reveal previously unexpected pattern formation phenomena and show that the average individual speed does not go to zero even at local densities of 10 persons per square meter. Since the maximum density and flow are different from measurements in other countries, this has implications for the capacity assessment and dimensioning of facilities for mass events. When conditions become congested, the flow drops significantly, which can cause stop-and-go waves and a further increase of the density until critical conditions are reached. Then, crowd turbulence sets in, which may trigger disasters.

Background: Joint pain is one of the most frequent complaints among adults and older people in primary healthcare settings worldwide. There are many causes for joint pain, osteoarthritis (OA) is so far the most prevalent form of arthritis that causes joint pain. It can attack almost any joint, but the most frequently affected joints are the hands, knees, hips, and spine. This study aimed to identify public knowledge of OA and its associative variables in Al-Qunfudah governorate, Saudi Arabia. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive community-based study was carried out among the general population in the Al-Qunfudah governorate. The research data were collected over two months, from November to December 2022, via an Arabic version of a self-administrated online survey of 29 items. Results: A total of 746 respondents were included in this study. The majority of them were females (78%). The age group 18-29 was predominant. In terms of education, 69.9% were holding university degrees. The overall participants' knowledge of OA was poor at 36.1%, fair at 36.8%, and good at 26.9%. The associative variables with better participants' knowledge were; holding university degrees (P=0.021), being a student (P<0.001) and living in urban areas (P=0.020), having normal BMI (P=0.018), and depending on the school topics as a source of information (P<0.001). Good knowledge was significantly higher among healthy individuals and non-smokers (P<0.001) for each variable. Conclusion: This study reveals the lack of knowledge of osteoarthritis among the general population in Al-Qunfudah governorate, Saudi Arabia. Being a student, university educated, from urban areas, and having a normal BMI, all were associative factors with good knowledge. Therefore, this study highlights the necessity for providing awareness and educational campaigns for the public, focusing on the rural population.

Background A recent outbreak of COVID-19 which was initially reported in Wuhan City, China, has become a worldwide pandemic. This global public health threat drew the attention of the medical and scientific community to make the necessary research efforts to combat the spread of the virus. Predictors of preventive behaviors could be of considerable importance relevant to identifying high-risk groups to manage their behavior. We aimed to investigate the association between people's perception of COVID-19 adherence to preventive measures, susceptibility, seriousness, benefits, motivators, barriers, confidence, and information sources. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, enrolling 1,568 participants from WhatsApp groups, aged 16 years and above from March to April 2020 in Saudi Arabia. We prepared an online Arabic self-administered questionnaire, which consisted of (1) sociodemographic characteristics; (2) compliance to preventive measures, including the perception of susceptibility, seriousness, benefits, motivation, barriers to preventive measures, self-confidence; and (3) sources of COVID-19 information. Results Of the 1,568 participants, 60% (n = 1,004) were women, 54.1% (n = 459) were unmarried, and 80.2% (n = 1,258) had earned university degrees. Regarding compliance and perception toward preventive measures, 64% of participants washed hands with soap and water; 50% followed the cough etiquette; 17.5% avoided touching their eyes, nose, and mouth; and 34.6% never shook hands with others. Approximately 52.2%-69.7% avoided going to crowded places and wore facial masks as needed. In addition, 24.3% of people observed social distancing. However, 52.4% did not receive the annual flu vaccine. Approximately 83% used banknotes, 69.8% made online payments, and 51.8% avoided ATM/credit card use. The perception of susceptibility and the seriousness of COVID-19 infection accounted for 8.5% and 50% of participants, respectively. Perceived benefits and motivation reached more than 90%. Barriers for not being able to practice preventive measures were the fear of nasal swabs, forgetfulness, and negligence, which rated 39% and 66%, respectively. Confidence in practicing the preventive measures and distinguishing the symptoms of COVID-19 accounted for 80% and 60% of the participants, respectively. The most used sources to retrieve information were the Ministry of Health (MOH) news and reports and social media, representing 53.5% and 24.6%, respectively. Conclusions During the early phase of the pandemic, people's perception of susceptibility was low, which resulted in a lack of awareness of some citizens to take the COVID-19 infection seriously. Thus, the benefits of preventive measures did not fully translate into practice. The current successful decline of COVID-19 cases should be accompanied by continuing health promotion and disease prevention programs utilizing all avenues and opportunities to remind people of scientific, religious, and cultural practices of handwashing, coughing etiquette. The persistent use of personal protective equipment (PPE), such as facial masks, gloves, and, for frontline workers, shields and protective garments is necessary. Family physicians and teams should play a vital role in this battle.

Objective The impact of pharmaceutical services on public health especially in regards to smoking cessation counseling can influence the rate of smoking cessation. The present study aims to evaluate prevalence, beliefs, and attitude of pharmacy students toward smoking habit and SC methods. Methods An online cross-sectional survey was conducted among pharmacy students at King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia over 4-month period from May to August 2021. The survey consisted of 22-items focused on evaluating the prevalence, belief, and attitude toward smoking habits and smoking cessation methods. Data was descriptively analyzed using a statistical package for social science version 26 (SPSS). Results A total of 675 students completed the survey, among which 78.7 % were non-smokers and only 31.7% received education on the dangers of smoking. The most common methods of smoking cessation they heard of were consultation (58.6%), followed by use of electronic cigarettes (41.92 %) and Nicotine patch (40.7%). One-third of the surveyed students (36.8 %) agreed that specialized smoking cessation clinics enhance the efficacy of smoking cessation methods. The majority of students (80.6%) agreed to ban smoking in public places and 92.2% believed that tobacco sales to adolescents should be forbidden. Health professionals should actively participate and advise their patients to quit smoking as 89.8 % students agreed on that. Age and gender of students had significantly influenced the prevalence of smoking, history of smoking, frequency of smoking, efforts to quit smoking among smokers ( p = 0.0001). Conclusion The prevalence of non-smokers among pharmacy students is encouraging, yet level of awareness about and usefulness of smoking cessation methods is unsatisfactory. Therefore, the study clearly highlights a great need for integrating smoking cessation programs in their academic curricula to prepare them for real-world practice.

The Ministry of Health (MOH) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) established a National School-based Screening Program (NSBSP) for health screening of school-going children. Students from specific grades were systematically screened for several health problems including obesity, visual and auditory problems, dental cavities, scoliosis, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the prevalence of these health problems among primary school students based on secondary data obtained from the NSBSP. We included 444,259 screened school children from the 1st and 4th grades of 50% of the selected schools (both private and public) across the KSA during the academic year 2018-2019. Among them, the most prevalent health problems identified were dental cavities (38.7%), eye refractory errors (10.9%), and overweight and obesity (10.5%); the less prevalent problems included ADHD (2.81%), auditory problems (0.6%), and scoliosis (0.48%). A greater prevalence of most health problems was observed in girls than boys. The NSBSP successfully aided the detection of health conditions with high and low prevalence among primary school students in the KSA, and thus, identification of health problems of specific concern. Implementation of effective school health services for the prevention, early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of these health problems is imperative.

Abstract Introduction Tobacco consumption remains a challenging issue to the global and public health that requires close monitoring of the spread of this epidemic and its impact. This study aims to assess the national prevalence and determinates of cigarette smoking and nicotine dependence in Saudi Arabia. Methods A cross-sectional national survey of a sample of 5148 of Saudi residents' ages 18 years or older was conducted through web-based-computer assisted telephone interviews. The two main measurements were current cigarette smoking status and nicotine dependence assessed using the Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence. Data was weighted by age, gender, and region to account for the different probabilities of selection. Descriptive and logistic regression analyses were used to assess cigarette smoking and nicotine dependence determinants. Results The national prevalence of cigarette smoking was 16.18% (95% CI:14.59-17.77) with 14.12% (95% CI:12.64-15.59) current daily smoking prevalence. Almost 72% of smokers started smoking before the age of 22 and 27% of smokers were highly dependent on nicotine. Having a smoker parent (AOR=1.84[95%CI:1.31-2.58], P &lt; 0.001) or a smoker close friend (AOR=6.49[95%CI:3.89-10.81], P &lt; 0.001) were significantly associated with being a smoker. Higher nicotine dependence level was significantly associated with early onset of regular smoking (ages&lt;18) (AOR=2.71 [95%CI:1.38-5.34],P&lt;0.001) and lower attempting to quit (AOR=0.51[95% CI:0.32-0.83],P&lt;0.01). Conclusions Cigarettes smoking and nicotine dependence are prevalent in Saudi Arabia. The study found the majority of smokers started regular smoking before the age of 22 and the early onset of smoking was associated with a higher nicotine dependence level. Restrict access to tobacco products to those below the age of 22 will help reduce smoking prevalence and lifetime addiction to nicotine. Key messages Majority of smokers initiated smoking by the age of 21 and early regular smoking initiation was associated with higher nicotine dependence. Strategies to prevent initiation before the age of 21 will help prevent addiction to nicotine.

Abstract Background Sentinel events (SEs) can result in severe and unwanted outcomes. To minimize the fear of sentinel events reporting and the occurrence of sentinel events, patient safety culture improvements within healthcare organizations is needed. To our knowledge, limited studies explored the relationships between patient safety culture and sentinel events on a local level and no research has been conducted at the national level in Saudi Arabia. Objectives This study aimed to explore the relationships between the patient safety culture and the reported-SEs on a national level during the year 2020 in Saudi hospitals. Methods This was a descriptive study. We utilized two data sources (the reported-SEs and the patient safety culture survey) that were linked using hospitals information. To explore the relationships between patient safety culture and reported-SEs rates, we performed descriptive statistics, a test of independence, post-hoc analysis, correlation analysis, and multivariate regression and stepwise analyses. Results The highest positive domain scores in patient safety culture domains in the Saudi hospitals ( n = 366) were “Teamwork Within Units” (80.65%) and “Organizational learning-continuous improvement” (80.33%), and the lowest were “Staffing” (32.10%) and “Nonpunitive Response to Error” (26.19%). The highest numbers of reported-SEs in 103 hospitals were related to the contributory factors of “Communication and Information” (63.20%) and “Staff Competency and Performance” (61.04%). The correlation analysis performed on 89 Saudi hospitals showed that higher positive patient safety culture scores were significantly associated with lower rates of reported-SEs in 3 out of the 12 domains, which are “Teamwork Within Units”, “Communication Openness”, and “Handoffs and Transitions”. Multivariate analyses showed that “Handoffs and Transitions”, “Nonpunitive Response to Error”, and “Teamwork Within Units” domains were significant predictors of the number of SEs. The "Staff Competency and Performance" and "Environmental Factors" were the most contributory factors of SEs in the number of significant correlations with the patient safety culture domains. Conclusion This study identified patient safety culture areas of improvement where hospitals in Saudi Arabia need actions. Our study confirms that a more positive patient safety culture is associated with lower occurrence of sentinel events. To minimize the fear of sentinel events reporting and to improve overall patient safety a culture change is needed by promoting a blame-free culture and improving teamwork, handoffs, and communication openness.

Background: Population-based studies are the gold standard to understand the burden of different diseases, plan health care policy and resource allocation, and provide an accurate estimate of disease several disease indices including mortality. However, population-based studies are difficult to undertake in a resource-limited situation where no robust data bases and disease registries are available. Therefore, hospital-based cohorts may be used to inform about the community health. Objectives: We sought to study the pattern of disease causing admission, hospital stay, and outcomes of medical admissions to King Abdullah Hospital in Bisha in order to inform clinicians, public health professionals, and policymakers about the current status of diseases within the community in Bisha. Methods:This is a cross-sectional study including all adult patients aged above 18 years who were admitted to King Abdullah Hospital in Bisha, Assir region, to medical services including general internal medicine, general cardiology, nephrology, gastroenterology, rheumatology, and neurology during the study period between 1 June 2015 and 31 May 2016. Common causes of hospital admission, outcomes of hospitalization, and length of stay were estimated and the data were presented as frequency and percentage for categorical valve and mean and standard deviation for continuous variables. Results: Cardiovascular diseases including stroke are considered the leading cause of hospital admission in a teaching community hospital in Bisha, Assir region. Diabetes mellitus and hypertension are prevalent comorbidities among hospitalized patients. Majority of admitted patients have improved and discharged home (83.3%). However, 6.7% were transferred to another facility, 4.1% have left against medical advice, and 5.9% died. Conclusion: Health-related data bases and disease registries are urgently needed to precisely estimate the burden of cardiovascular disease in Assir region in Saudi Arabia. Lifestyle changes, healthy diet, aggressive management of hypertension and diabetes within the community, and allocating necessary resources are urgently to combat the growing burden of cardiovascular disease.

To review available health and nutrition claims for infant formula products in multiple countries and to evaluate the validity of the evidence used for substantiation of claims.International cross sectional survey.Public facing and healthcare professional facing company owned or company managed formula industry websites providing information about products marketed for healthy infants delivered at full term in 15 countries: Australia, Canada, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Nigeria, Norway, Pakistan, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States in 2020-22.Number and type of claims made for each product and ingredient. References cited were reviewed and risk of bias was assessed for registered clinical trials using the Cochrane risk of bias tool, and for systematic reviews using the Risk Of Bias in Systematic reviews tool.757 infant formula products were identified, each with a median of two claims (range from 1 (Australia) to 4 (US)), and 31 types of claims across all products. Of 608 products with ≥1 claims, the most common claim types were "helps/supports development of brain and/or eyes and/or nervous system" (323 (53%) products, 13 ingredients), "strengthens/supports a healthy immune system" (239 (39%) products, 12 ingredients), and "helps/supports growth and development" (224 (37%) products, 20 ingredients). 41 groups of ingredients were associated with ≥1claims, but many claims were made without reference to a specific ingredient (307 (50%) products). The most common groups of ingredients cited in claims were long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (278 (46%) products, 9 different claims); prebiotics, probiotics, or synbiotics (225 (37%) products, 19 claims); and hydrolysed protein (120 (20%) products, 9 claims). 161/608 (26%) products with ≥1 claims provided a scientific reference to support the claim-266 unique references were cited for 24 different claim types for 161 products. The reference types most frequently cited were clinical trials (50%, 134/266) and reviews (20%, 52/266). 28% (38/134) of referenced clinical trials were registered, 14% (19/134) prospectively. 58 claims referred to 32 registered clinical trials, of which 51 claims (27 trials) related to a randomised comparison. 46 of 51 claims (90%) referenced registered clinical trial outcomes at high risk of bias, and all cited systematic reviews and pooled analyses, carried a high risk of bias.Most infant formula products had at least one health and nutrition claim. Multiple ingredients were claimed to achieve similar health or nutrition effects, multiple claims were made for the same ingredient type, most products did not provide scientific references to support claims, and referenced claims were not supported by robust clinical trial evidence.

The use of technology is enabling businesses, individuals, and governments to combat COVID-19. Containing and measuring global concerns such as Coronavirus will require critically assessing technological developments. This paper evaluates the COVID-19 dashboard developed by the Saudi Ministry of Health (MOH). A scoping review of published and unpublished documents was conducted. The Saudi Arabia MOH provides figures, graphs, and statistics. The researcher found that clicking one button allows access to critical information, enabling individuals to understand how the disease spreads around the country. The Saudi MOH's COVID-19 dashboard provided accurate, reliable, and current information. COVID-19 information is effectively communicated through technology. With the help of data visualization, many citizens can better understand COVID-19. Given their dynamic nature, the evolution of COVID-19 dashboards over time is crucial. A broader range of indicators may assist in better monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on the economy and society. During this crisis, dashboards must include features that facilitate their use by people with disabilities.

Background: Liver cancer is a major public health problem in the developing world. It is the sixth most common cancer in the developed world and the second leading cause of death among cancer patients, globally. This study evaluated the trends and geographical distributions of liver cancer in the Saudi Arabian population.Methods: A secondary data analysis was performed on liver cancer cases registered in the Saudi Cancer registry for the period 1994 to 2015. In all, 8,785 liver cancer cases were included in the analysis, all of them Saudi nationals.Results: There were significant decreases in the mean age-standardised rates of liver cancer over the study period. The incidence of liver cancer varied by region. A strong positive correlation was observed between liver cancer incidence and age. Hepatocellular carcinoma-NOS is the most common histopathology subtype among the Saudi population.Conclusions: The overall trend of the liver cancer age-standardised rate for males and females decreased among the Saudi population. This rate varies by region. Studying this variation in more detail will help improve public health policy, optimise distribution of resources and allocation of funding for research on prevention and diagnosis and direct awareness programs to the regions that are most in need.

Objectives : 1. To study the problems of drug prescription at primary health care (PHC) centres. 2. To identify reasons for inappropriate prescribing and to attempt to formulate a strategy to solve the problem. Setting : Six PHC centres in Asir Region, southern Saudi Arabia. Subjects : Eighty-nine PHC physicians who answered a questionnaire about the World Health Organization essential drugs list (EDL) and their prescribing habits. Intervention : Review and analysis of one week's prescriptions at PHCs and a questionnaire conducted by the authors. Results : About 10% of the prescriptions were incomplete ; antibiotics were the most prescribed drugs ; about one-third of PHC physicians had a poor knowledge of the WHO EDL and about half of them lacked a reliable source of drug information. Conclusion : There is a great need for a multidisciplinary approach to solve the problem of prescribing. The medical schools, Ministry of Health, drug companies and the public can launch appropriate educational programmes to educate doctors continuously about drugs.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), viral diseases continue to emerge and each one represents a serious issue public health matter. In recent decades, several viral epidemics have occurred, such as the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) between 2002 and 2003, H1N1 influenza in 2009 and, most recently, the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) that arose in Saudi Arabia in 2012.1 The development of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) disease (COVID-19) in China at the end of 2019 has caused a large global outbreak and on 30 January 2020 WHO declared COVID-19 as the sixth public health emergency of international concern. Indeed, COVID-19 seems to be very contagious and has quickly spread globally, via human-to-human transmission, droplets, or direct contact. Moreover, data from reports provided by health policy agencies divide the clinical manifestations of the disease according to the severity of the clinical pictures in mild, moderate, or severe illness. Fever is the most common symptom, followed by cough, and the clinical course of the disease seems to predict a favorable trend in the majority of patients. Nevertheless, in a percentage of cases, which has not been defined yet, a sudden worsening of clinical conditions can be observed after about a week. In the most severe pictures pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have been reported to worsen until to sepsis and septic shock, a serious clinical condition characterized by a wide range of signs and symptoms related to multi-organ involvement.2 Currently, outside China, there are more than 40000 confirmed cases in 59 countries and Italy, as of today, is at the second place in the world for number of affected subjects.1 Indeed, at the time of writing this letter, in Italy there are 8514 patients affected by COVID-19, 529 more than yesterday (+6.6%). The total number of COVID-19 cases in our country (including deceased subjects and the recovered ones) exceeded 10,000, with a total of 631 deaths – 168 more than yesterday (an increase of 36.2%). The primary intervention to control infection is to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV. For this reason, nowadays, the Italian government has imposed unprecedented travel restrictions on its 60 million people to limit the human-to-human transmission and to control the deadly coronavirus outbreak in the country identifying the whole national territory as a “protected zone.” More specifically, severe limitations of non-necessary movements have been applied and permission would be necessary for Italians who sought to move around the country for reasons of work, health or extenuating circumstances (the so-called lock-down). In this scenario, where the risk of COVID-19 infection is very high and the citizens must justify their movements with severe penalties and sanctions if non-compliant with government provisions, there are about 6 millions of people affected by migraine, a clinical condition characterized by a well-known high personal disability and a large detrimental effect on public health. The novel monoclonal antibodies (mABs) targeting the CGRP-receptor or CGRP-ligand have been demonstrated as effective and tolerable in several trials, giving these patients a new hope.3 Furthermore, widespread clinical experiences in using mABs support these data, with significant improvement of migraine disability and migraine impact on daily life of our migraine patients. In this frame, during the last 2 days, we should have delivered the monthly treatments for about 50 migraine patients referring to the Headache Center of the Department of Neurology at the University of Campania “Luigi Vanvitelli” (32% Erenumab 70 mg/month; 54% Erenumab 140 mg/month; 10% Fremanezumab 225 mg/month; 4% Galcanezumab 120 mg/month). Surprisingly, despite the government restrictions, 100% of patients decided to pick the drug up (the closest patient was 20 minutes far away from the Center by car, the furthest patient took 2 hours by car). We would like to share my experience, underlining how migraine patients decided to overcame all the logistical difficulties not to lose the clinical benefit they were experiencing and falling back into the abyss of their migraine attacks. It was only thanks to this context of social and organizational difficulties that we were able to perceive 2 fundamental issues: the first is related to migraine as a real and serious medical problem recognized by patients as extremely affecting on their own life, and the second related to the high efficacy and tolerability of anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies treatment that, finally, has revolutionized the life of subjects with migraine, who can face even dangerous and serious difficulties to have it. From a romantic point of view, our “COVD-19 experience,” like the novel “Love in the time of cholera” written by the Nobel prize Gabriel García Márquez, showed us that even the difficulties related to epidemics can be helpful for us to see more clearly the world in front of us, despite never understanding it in its entirety.

Health Education (HE) is vital to each of the seven other central ele-ments of Public Health Care (PHC). HE must be carefully planned and implemented. A crucial part of HE is planning, production and placement of effective HE posters.Assess the quality of health education posters in Al-Khobar PHC centers.A cross-sectional study of a sample of 138 HE posters in three PHC centers in Al-Khobar was conducted. The quality of posters in relation to set criteria was measured using a data sheet and scoring system developed by the investigator.The health education subjects displayed were among the common health problems in Saudi Arabia in 134 (97.1 %) of the posters.More than one-third (34.8%) had been displayed for more than one year. In 74 (53.6%) of the posters, the source of scientific information was unknown. The assessment showed that 109 (79%) posters were of optimal quality.The study showed that the health education posters in PHC centers in Al-Khobar were relatively satisfactory, though they did not fulfill some of the required criteria. Health education posters should be included in the assessment of health education programs in primary health care centers.

This systematic review aims to investigate, identify, and compare evidence related to the barriers, enablers, and strategies to embedding translational research within a public hospital system focussed on nursing and allied health disciplines.A systematic review looking at the international literature on the barriers, enablers and strategies in embedding translational research within a public health system addressing nursing and allied health professions. The study channelled the PRISMA reporting guidelines for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Databases searched were Medline, Embase, Scopus and Pubmed from January 2011 to December 2021 (inclusive). A quality assessment was conducted of literature using the mixed methods appraisal tool 2011 version.Thirteen papers met the inclusion criteria. The studies included were from Australia, Saudi Arabia, China, Denmark and Canada. Occupational therapy and physiotherapy were the only two allied health disciplines identified in the search process. The review found considerable inter-relationships between the enablers, barriers, and strategies to embedding research translation in a public hospital setting. Three over-arching themes 'leadership, organisational culture and capabilities' were developed to capture the complexity of factors in embedding translational research. Key subthemes identified were education, knowledge, management, time, workplace culture and resources. All thirteen articles identified that a multifactorial approach is required to embed a research culture and translate research findings into clinical practice.The themes of leadership, organisational culture and capabilities are inherently intertwined and therefore successful strategies require a whole of health approach with organisational leadership driving the strategy, as changing organisational culture takes time and considerable investment. We recommend that public health organisations, senior executives and policy makers consider the findings of this review to provide evidence to initiate organisational changes to support and help create a research environment to drive research translation within the public sector.

Background Contact tracing applications were introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic to mitigate the spread of the infection in several countries. In Saudi Arabia, the Tawakkalna application was developed. The Tawakkalna application is a mobile health solution aimed to track infection cases, save lives, and reduce the burden on health facilities. This study aims to explore the public's attitude to and acceptance levels of the Tawakkalna application and to evaluate its effectiveness regarding privacy and security. The main objective of this study is to investigate the user acceptability of contact tracing applications and explore the safety and privacy effectiveness of the COVID-19 contact tracing application, the Tawakkalna application. In addition, the study analyzes factors associated with acceptance levels and compares the results obtained to similar studies in other countries using similar applications. Methodology This study used a valid and reliable online survey that was used in similar studies conducted in other countries to assess the acceptability of the application. The survey was conducted from September to November 2021, and the final dataset included 205 participants. To investigate the privacy and security performance of the Tawakkalna application, we followed the investigation method used by similar research that investigated 28 contact tracing applications across Europe. Results Out of the 205 participants, 84.87% were in favor of the opt-in voluntary installation of the Tawakkalna application, and 49.75% of the participants were in favor of the opt-out automatic installation. Individuals' trust in the government had a huge impact on acceptance, with 60.98% of the participants supporting the application because they believed that the Tawakkalna application would help them stay healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, 49% of the participants supporting the application also agreed to the de-identification of their collected data and providing it for research. The Tawakkalna application ranked at the top compared to other contact tracing applications regarding privacy and security. Conclusions The Tawakkalna application developed by the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority was a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which is considered the biggest public health crisis in recent times. The Saudi Arabian government gained the population's acceptance through effective endorsement and the spread of educational content through media channels. By complying with privacy policies, the Tawakkalna application is an effective tool to combat public health infectious diseases.

Abstract Background Acceptance of COVID-19 vaccination was noticed to be less common among parents of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other neurodevelopmental disorders. This study aimed to explore the beliefs and willingness of parents of children with neurodevelopmental disorders about COVID-19 vaccine and understand how certain factors influencing the vaccine decision-making process differ between them and other parents’ groups. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted between August to November 2021. An Arabic online survey was distributed in August 2021 to collect the study’s data. 400 parents from all the major regions in Saudi Arabia participated in and shared their beliefs about the new COVID-19 vaccination for their children. Results Out of 400 participants, 381 of them were eligible to answer the survey (95.2%). The total number of parents of children with neurodevelopmental disorder was 158 (41.5%), was compared to responses of parents of heathy children 223 (58.5%). 85 (53.8%) of them were ready to vaccinate their children with COVID-19 vaccine. While 36 (22.8%) were hesitant, the rest 37 (23.4%) did not want to vaccinate their children at all. Only a small number 16 (10.1%) have beliefs of vaccines as a cause of their child’s neurodevelopmental disorder. A total of 79 out of 131 responses were received from both parents’ groups. Fear of long-term side-effects was the most common reason reported by 41 responders out of 64 (64.06%) from parents of healthy children and 38 responders out of 67 (56.71%) from parents of diagnosed children. Another reason reported by parents of younger children in both groups was the child’s age. Having a healthcare relative worker was significantly associated with the vaccine decision making ( p < .001). Conclusion The acceptance rate of COVID-19 vaccination of parents of children with neurodevelopmental disorders was low compared to the parents of healthy children in Saudi Arabia. Authorities can benefit from this study results to offer more accessible information about the vaccine importance and safety to the targeted population.

Introduction: Headache disorders are one of the most prevalent global public-health problems that require placing high demand on health-care Services. Since it is one of the most frequent complaints in clinical practice worldwide, it causes a considerable burden in terms of the social cost. The study aimed to give a guide for the decision on the utilization of computed tomography (CT) in the diagnostic workup and identify if patients require neurological imaging (CT) for proper diagnosis or not. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out in the Radiology Department in King Khalid Hospital, Al Kharj, Saudi Arabia from October 15, 2016, to February 15, 2017. A retrospective record-based study conducted using the documented CT reports in the files of patients whom were referred to the radiology department complaining of any type of a headache. Results: The data included 210 patients 51% were males and 49% were females. The patients were distributed into age groups; the mean age was 38.46 standard deviation ± 13.56. Among Saudi population, the etiology of headache was varying; the most prevalent type of headache was tension headache 25.71% of the total headache patients followed by cluster 25.24% and the migraine with the lowest proportionality. The majority of the patients’ headache pain was mild 60%. Moreover, the CT reports for most of the patients were normal. Spearman Correlation test was used to see if there is a significance in using the CT for any patient who comes with symptoms including headache, and the results have shown that there is no association and clinical significance in using the CT for patients with headache without suspecting other clinical condition (P = 0.177). Conclusion: Headache disorders must be on the public-health agenda. Tension, migraine, and cluster-type headaches represent the majority of primary headaches. Statistically no significance or need to obtain CT if there are no life-threatening conditions expected or trauma presented.

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

Rationale: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been recognized as highly pathogenic. The current pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 has been spread globally and infected more than 200 countries.Patient concerns: We report the first confirmed fatal case of COVID-19 in Pakistan. A 50-year-old man returned from Saudi Arabia on March 09, 2020 and presented with cough, fever, malaise, poor appetite and difficulty in breathing to the Pulmonologist at District Headquarter Hospital Mardan.Diagnosis: The patient was initially diagnosed as COVID-19 suspected case. A oropharyngeal swab sample was positive by realtime RT-PCR tests.Lessons: This report highlights the importance of close coordination between clinicians and public health authorities as well as the importance of early laboratory-based confirmation of COVID-19 cases.
