The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected people’s interaction with their urban environment. This study aims to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on people’s experience of using public parks. The study considered the pandemic’s impact on awareness of the importance of these parks and the associated use rates, duration and patterns taking Dammam City in Saudi Arabia as a case study in this regard, where improving the provision and utilisation of public parks tops the urban development agenda. The study adopted a mixed qualitative and quantitative approach, using participatory observation and questionnaire surveys. The study found that the COVID-19 pandemic has improved awareness of the importance of public parks in daily life, reflected in visit rates and duration. Some observable changes in people’s use patterns in these spaces emerged in this context, as they expressed greater preference for pursuing physical activities in the post-pandemic period.

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is one of the most common severe autosomal recessively inherited blood disorders. In Saudi Arabia, the prevalence of this disease is significantly varied in different regions of the country, and the highest prevalence in the Eastern province of the country. A consanguineous marriage has been linked to the high incidence and prevalence of Sickle Cell Anemia (SCA), which, accounts more than 50%, with the rate of marriage between first cousins ranging from 40% to 50%. However, the last few years showed no increase in the prevalence of sickle cell disease among Saudi’s. This might be related to the remarkable scientific progress in the understanding of the complex pathophysiology of the disease, improving knowledge regarding SCA among community, better medical care, and the efforts of Saudi’s government to provide genetic counselling services and implementing of mandatory premarital screening program. This review therefore is about the epidemiology, history of SCA among Saudi’s, clinical complications, and consanguinity marriage and SCA, with a focus on its local premarital screening program.

Dear Editor, The illness caused by the Monkeypox virus (MPXV) is similar to smallpox, but less transmissible and usually less severe. It spreads from infected animals, humans, and contaminated surfaces [1,2]. MPXV was first detected in laboratory monkeys in 1958. Its first human case, a child from the Congo basin country Zaire now known as the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), occurred in 1970 [3,4]. Since then, hMPX cases have been continuously reported, with short outbreaks within different countries of Central and Western Africa, particularly in regions where immunity to smallpox was no longer prevalent. Previous smallpox vaccination has been reported to provide 85% protection against MPX infection as well as reduce the severity of MPX symptoms in infected individuals [1]. As reported, the secondary MPX infection rate in unvaccinated individuals has been estimated as 9.3% (compared to 37–88% for smallpox). The case-fatality rate (CFR) has been observed to be higher in unvaccinated individuals with severe disease manifestations in children younger than five. In the last few years, MPX cases have started to appear in other countries beyond Africa. Although the MPXV was first discovered in monkeys, it is believed that rodents may be the natural reservoir of the virus. The virus has so far been found in African rainforest squirrels and rats, mice, domestic pigs, hedgehogs, and opossums. In the US, it has been identified in prairie dogs and has infected elephants in zoos. The current number of MPX cases in non-endemic countries, particularly in the U.S, Canada, Brazil and European countries, is rising dramatically and threatens global public health. As of September 8, 2022, the total number of confirmed MPX cases reached 56,609 in 103 countries (including 96 non-endemic countries), with the highest number of cases in the U.S (n = 21,504), Spain (n = 6,749), Brazil (n = 5,525), France (n = 3,646), Germany (n = 3,518), and the UK (n = 3,484) [5]. Although the number of MPX cases is alarming in non-endemic countries amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, MPXV does not spread in the same way as SARS-CoV-2 or its variants. All viruses change and evolve over time, but the MPXV mutates slower than SARS-CoV-2. The majority of MPX cases occurring in the past have been transmitted from infected animals (mainly rodents or monkeys) to humans - either via biting or direct contact with infected blood or other body fluids – with human-to-human transmission uncommon (only 28% of all cases). In the 2022 MPX outbreak, however, most cases are thought to have involved human-to-human transmission. Luckily, MPX is not as contagious as other infectious diseases (e.g. COVID-19) and the current risk of getting MPX in the general public is low. Transmission usually occurs following close contact (i.e. face-to-face, skin-to-skin, mouth-to-skin or mouth-to-mouth) with an MPX infected person. It may also be transmitted following direct contact with contaminated surfaces. The MPXV has been reported to remain on many common household objects even after regular disinfection. However, the risk of spreading MPX this way is rather low and cleaning practices may limit contamination. It should also be noted that the severity of MPX varies depending on the viral strain and the host involved (e.g. it is relatively severe in orangutans but mild in cynomolgus monkeys). In order to help stop MPX transmission, the WHO recently launched a global awareness program to inform individuals on MPXV transmission routes [6]. There are two known clades of MPXV as per the identification of variants depending on the geographical regions where they were known to circulate. Genetic analysis suggests that MPXV has two genetically discrete virus clades (the Congo Basin or Central African clade and the West African clade), each with distinct clinical and epidemiologic parameters. At a meeting convened by the WHO on 8 August 2022, an open consultation with virologists and public health experts reached consensus on a new terminology for MPX variants/clades to avoid causing offense to any national, regional, cultural, or ethnic groups, and minimize any negative impact on trade, travel, and tourism [7]. It was agreed to rename the MPX clades using Roman numerals. Experts in pox virology and evolutionary biologists reviewed the known and new MPXV variants/clades and renamed the Congo Basin (Central African) clade as Clade I and the West African clade as Clade II. Additionally, they divided the Clade II into the two sub-clades IIa and IIb [7]. The latter (West African clade) is largely circulating in the current global outbreak and has been identified in the U.S, Canada, and several European countries. It tends to cause less severe disease than the Central African, or Congo Basin clade (Clade I). The MPXV responsible to the current 2022 MPX outbreak may be identified as a separate, third clade, however many poxvirus specialists suggested that this may not be the case [7]. It is interesting to note that the ongoing 2022 MPX outbreak in non-endemic countries has no epidemiological link to Africa. As per a recent study (preprint not reviewed yet), among the nine MPXV viral strains isolated from the U.S, Gigante et al., 2022 revealed the occurrence of two lineages of MPXV identified between 2021 and 2022 [8]. This study has shown increased similarity of the 2022 strain with the 2021 MPX viral strain. This finding points to the fact that the current non-endemic and the previous endemic strains could potentially have a common ancestor. Mutational studies of the two lineages demonstrated the presence of GA-to-AA mutations that are linked to APOBEC3 (Apolipoprotein B mRNA Editing Catalytic Polypeptide-like3) cytosine deaminase activity. This has been a major characteristic noted among MPXV isolated since 2017 from the West African region but absent from Congo Basin lineages. Interestingly, APOBEC3 activity has been recurrent and dominant in the evolution of the recent West African virus, a characteristic not unique among other poxviruses. Based on this mutation, the current human MPXV has been classified into three clusters with Nigerian MPXV isolated in 2017, non-Nigerian MPXV isolated between 2017 and 2019, and recently isolated MPXV strains from the U.S. and Europe defined as Cluster I, II, and III, respectively. These studies have noted that among the mutations observed across different MPXV clusters, the GA-to-AA mutation in APOBEC3 may contribute to the virulence of the virus [8]. The origin of the 2022 MPX outbreak is still a mystery and its seemingly rapid transmission is currently under investigation. One study reported that some of the 2022 MPXV sequences were similar to those of a 2021 MPXV isolated from a traveller from Nigeria, but showed some nucleotide differences, suggesting the cases could not be directly linked [8]. Genomic sequencing is highly recommended to determine the similarity between viruses, origin of infection, and establish possible links between cases, and transmission dynamics and any probable coinfections [1,4]. Increased surveillance with sequencing will reveal a different predominant future strain and help to mitigate the outbreak [8]. Information on the exact geographical range and diversity of the MPXV is still lacking and it is important to improve disease surveillance. Kugelman et al. (2014) assessed the genome diversity of MPXV in 60 human samples with primary and secondary cases of infection collected from 2005 to 2007 [9]. They detected four distinct lineages and a deletion that resulted in gene loss in 16.7% samples. The results of the study also showed a high frequency of spill over events from the pool of viruses infecting animals, which increased disease transmissibility and severity. Recently, Luna et al., 2022 characterized the genomes of 337 MPXV strains isolated during the current outbreak [10]. The strains were grouped into three monophyletic clades. The analyses revealed the occurrences of two pre-existing clades (clade I and clade II) and a novel clade (clade III) that may potentially be emerging into an ongoing pandemic. Moreover, 2022 has seen the spread of MPXV lineages that include hMPXV-1A, A.1, A.1.1, A.2 and B.1 lineages. Interestingly, the current MPXV has been identified in non-endemic countries like Germany (n = 110, 32.6%) and Portugal (n = 45, 13.4%). Most MPXV isolates from non-endemic regions belonged to the B.1 lineage of clade III (n = 261, 77.4%), in contrast to the circulation of clades I (n = 35, 10.4%) and clade II (n = 10, 2.5%) within endemic countries like Nigeria, the DRC, and Cameroon. It was only after the 2003 outbreak that these MPXV genomes were identified in non-endemic countries like Europe and the U.S. From the results of the genomic analyses, it was presumed that the current 2022 MPXV may have emerged from Europe [10]. Another study on the 2022 MPXV genome sequences revealed that this strain belonged to clade III (lineage B.1) and this current outbreak most likely had a single origin linked to an endemic country and was continuous rapidly evolving [11]. The mutational analysis showed the role of APOBEC3 in viral evolution and signs of potential MPXV human adaptation. Recent work (not reviewed yet) has categorized the sequenced MPX genomes into B.1, A.1.1 and A.2 clades [12]. Genomic sequencing analysis revealed that a group of 9 proteins including A9L, A36R, B16L, C3L, A50L, B9R, C7L, C12L (SPI-1 and H5R) were essential for virulence and pathogenesis. This study also identified 4 additional proteins (A27L, B5R, A33R, and L1R) that significantly influenced the host's immune response. Studies on MPXV nucleic acid sequencing have also noted the presence of four similar mutations and six amino acid alterations in the conserved regions that results in functional changes in the proteins. The MPXV genome isolated from the 2022 infections lacked C3L protein, which is a strong virulence marker and confers pathogenicity. Although the newer MPXV strain had undergone some genetic variations, these may not significantly affect disease transmission, and signs/symptoms at the clinical presentation [12]. Unlike previous outbreaks, which have been restricted to Africa, we are currently noticing the spread of MPXV to other previously non-endemic geographical regions. Genomic studies have identified that the first case of MPXV outside Africa, a strain isolated from a French person presenting atypical clinical symptoms, belonged to a divergent phylogenetic lineage within clade 3. Further in vitro testing revealed that the FDA approved drug tecovirimat (ST-246) had good anti-MPXV activity (in the nanomolar range) on this strain and was more effective than cidofovir [13]. Vaccination also has a role to play along with measures to minimize the spread of MPX. The 2022 MPX outbreak has primarily affected the MSM (men who have sex with men) group [14]. The pre-approved smallpox vaccine has been recommended to this group of individuals as a part of a clinical trial to study the vaccine efficacy. Such trials could be used to analyse the potential of vaccines to be used as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) during sexual intercourse and their efficacy in limiting transmission [15]. However, as MPX infection also targets other populations and with the possibility of viral spill over into animals that could act as new reservoirs in non-endemic regions, further studies are warranted to better understand MPXV pathogenicity and control the spread of MPX.

In recent weeks, researchers have uncovered key molecular and clinical details about this novel virus, but fundamental questions remain about how it spreads. Anna Petherick reports. Middle East Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) has been a cause for concern for months, with a steady trickle of new cases, often fatal, dating back to April, 2012. Until March of this year there were fewer than five confirmed infections per month, but April and May each saw 19 new cases, driven up by a cluster in the Al-Ahsa region in eastern Saudi Arabia. Most people now known to have caught MERS-CoV have done so from another human being. Efforts to understand the infection have consequently been stepped up. A WHO team of experts tasked with trawling through the existing Saudi data has just returned from the country. It hopes to publish a report this month. Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Health has also agreed to send samples from animals that seem likely candidates to harbour the virus to the USA for analysis. This marks a positive shift in tone: last autumn, the same ministry stood accused of ordering the sacking of Ali Mohamed Zaki, the virologist who alerted the medical community to this new threat by posting an entry on proMED (an infectious disease news website), and who sent a sample abroad to find out what it could be. The little acts of diplomatic progress of late could have a substantive public health benefit, by enabling researchers to answer the most important question about this virus: what non-human source acts as a conduit from which MERS-CoV can infect people? “It could be a food, an animal, or a contaminated product with virus on it from contact with an animal”, suggests Tony Mount, WHO's technical lead on this virus. “If we can stop that, if we can somehow manage to interrupt that transmission, then the outbreaks won't happen.” A close genetic relative of coronaviruses carried by pipistrelle bats, MERS-CoV is thought to have jumped from bats to something else, and from that something else to humans, repeating a pattern shared by other novel human viruses. The severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) pandemic of 2003 arose when a coronavirus hopped from bats to civet cats to people. And Nipah virus, which has caused many deaths in Bangladesh over the past 2 years, moved from bats to humans via date palm sap, a popular local drink. The intermediary for MERS-CoV has proven surprisingly elusive. A group of Dutch researchers that identified the DPP4 receptor on the surface of lung cells as the foothold by which MERS-CoV enters the body, have struggled to infect other mammals, such as ferrets, mice, and hamsters. “We could show that the virus recognises a similar receptor in bats, and because bats and humans are genetically quite far apart you would expect many species in between to have a conserved receptor that allows the virus to enter”, explains Bart Haagmans, of the Erasmus University Medical Center in Rotterdam. Only rhesus macaques have succumbed—a fact of limited use in explaining outbreaks in the Middle East. With greater political will where it counts, more widespread surveillance could be underway. At least four institutions have developed serological assays that do not seem to have been picked up by some of the places experiencing the greatest burden. These tests could be deployed to search for the animal conduit in markets and among Saudi Arabia's existing sentinel herds of goats, cattle, and sheep that are already monitored for tick-borne viruses in circulation. Moreover, the assays could reveal whether infected individuals displaying only mild symptoms, with the potential to disseminate the virus, are more common than currently imagined. To date, two cases in Tunisia and one in the UK have not required admission to hospital. Representatives of Jordan's Ministry of Health and of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are retrospectively probing the shadow of an outbreak in Amman to offer a response to this question, but it would be more pertinently answered in Al-Ahsa. “I think the Saudis have been a little bit reluctant to use one of these tests”, says Mount. “I hope they will very soon because I think that even in their current state [of verification], the assays are actually very useful.” Perhaps MERS-CoV is of most concern where it is silent. That it has been picked up in travellers heading west from the Arabian Peninsula, but not in those heading east, is more likely a product of the relative intensity of surveillance in different countries, than it is a reflection of the underlying epidemiology. Most of the foreigners who comprise a third of Saudi Arabia's population emanate from Pakistan, India, the Philippines, and Indonesia—countries where large extended families often live in close quarters and hygiene can be poor. The international cooperation to combat MERS-CoV has been lauded. Now, say experts, it is time to take it up a notch.

Objective Despite an extensive literature on efficiency, qualitative evidence on the drivers of hospital efficiency is scant. This study examined the factors that influence the efficiencies of health service provision in public hospitals in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and their potential remedies. Design We employed a qualitative design involving semi-structured interviews conducted between July and September 2019. Participants were purposively selected and included policymakers and hospital managers drawn from districts, regional and national levels. Data were analyzed in Nvivo 12 based on a thematic approach. Setting Key informants of Ministry of health in the KSA. Results Respondents identified a range of different factors across the community, facility and the wider health system that influence inefficiencies in public hospitals in KSA. Ineffective hospital management, lack of strategic planning and goals, weak administrative leadership, and absence of monitoring hospital performance was noted to have a profound impact on hospital efficiency. The conditions of healthcare staff in respect to both skills, authority and psychological factors were considered to influence the efficiency level. Further, lack of appropriate data for decision making due to the absence of an appropriate health informatics system was regarded as a factor of inefficiency. At the community level, respondents described inadequate information on the healthcare needs and expectations of patients and the wider community as significant barriers to the provision of efficient services. To improve hospital efficiencies, respondents recommended that service delivery decisions are informed by data on community health needs; capacity strengthening and effective supervision of hospital staff; and judicious resource allocation. Conclusion The study demonstrates that inefficiencies in health services remain a critical challenge in public hospitals in KSA. Extensive awareness-raising and training on efficient resource utilization among key health systems stakeholders are imperative to improving hospital performance. More research is needed to strengthen knowledge on hospital efficiency in light of the limited data on the topic in KSA and the wider Gulf region.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a minute fragment (~30 kb) of single-stranded RNA that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which brought the whole world to a pause, shattering down all the insolence of modern days civilization making human realize, that still there are lots of concealed catastrophic challenges which are to be faced on this planet. In December 2019, the first expected case of COVID-19 was reported in World Health Organization (WHO) office in China from Wuhan, Hubei [1], at that time no one knew that this novel virus would take a form of a pandemic which shutting down all the daily life activities globally and locking down humans in their homes and force them to follow social distancing. On January 30th 2020, WHO announced COVID-19 as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern and later on March 11th 2020, it was given the status of a pandemic [1]. Since then the cases are rapidly increasing in all over the world. As recorded on April 13th, 2020 from worldometer website, 1,851,734 confirmed cases of COVID-19 globally and 114,179 confirmed deaths were reported from all over the world. The data on the same day also showed that the largest reported cases were reported from United States followed by Spain, Italy, France, Germany, United Kingdom and China. In United States, 22,105 people were died, which was significantly high as compared to any other countries of the world, whereas Italy, Spain, France and United Kingdom were placed on second, third, fourth and fifth places, respectively as the confirmed reported deaths were 19,899 in Italy, 17,209 in Spain, 14,393 in France, 10,612 in United Kingdom (data recorded on April 13, 2020) [2]. In Kingdom of Saudi Arabia till 13th of April 2020, 4,462 confirmed cases of COVID-19 were recorded and 59 confirmed deaths were reported [2].
SARS-COV2 is the seventh known corona virus to cause infection in humans after 229E, NL63, OC43, HKU1, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV [3]. The exact source of SARS-COV-2 is still not known but some metagenomic studies showed its association with bats and pangolins [4]. As compared to previous corona viruses, the infectivity rate of SARS COV-2 is comparatively much higher and the mode of transmission of this deadly virus is primarily by respiratory droplets from an infected individual to others through coughing, sneezing within a distance up to 6 feet or touching of infected surfaces where the viral particles are present [5]. It is documented that the incubation period for this virus ranges from 2 to 14 days and after that period, the disease usually starts with a high grade fever (>100.4°F or >38.0°C) with pneumonia like symptoms such as chills, headache, fatigue, generalized body pain and flue. After 2-7 days, COVID-19 patients may develop a dry, nonproductive cough that can progress to pneumonia [6]. The overall mortality rate was anticipated to be 9%, but increasing to 50% particularly those above aged 60 years [9]. Patients suffered from some underlined comorbidity such as diabetes, cardiovascular complications, etc. were also reported to prone for this viral respiratory disorder [6].
At present, the only therapeutic measures to deal with this viral infection are only supportive and preventive, which are directed only to reduce the transmission of spread in the community [1,7]. Although, it is documented that the virus has not replicated outside the living cell but it remains infectious through environmental contamination particularly from the crowded places such as shopping malls, hospitals, etc. are believed to be the vital sources of its transmission [1,7]. It is also important for the readers to know that the period of persistence of this virus viability is still not completely defined but several scientists assumed that it may influence by several factors such as temperature and humidity [8]. The transmission of virus can be decreased to a large extent by adopting strict infection control policies, which are basically a team base efforts and everyone has to play their roles. As per recommendations of WHO, everyone must adapt social distancing by residing at home and avoid unnecessary travel as much as possible [7,8]. Being an enveloped virus, SARs COV-2 is comparatively easy to disinfect, therefore hands hygiene plays a vital preventive tool from getting infected, washing hands frequently with soap and water or using alcohol based hand sanitizers to disinfect hands have strongly been recommended by WHO [1]. Other preventive measures are educating the general public by creating awareness regarding the spread of the virus that not only control in declining the incidence of disease but also prevent us to decrease the stigma of fake myths associated with COVID-19. It is also very important for the readers to know that the likely time period of this global pandemic is still uncertain and its implications are still unwinding. Therefore, this is a challenging situation that requires a team based efforts from every individual in every society in order to overcome from this deadly global disaster.

Purpose The aim of this study was to gather data from female students studying in both health and non-health colleges at Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University and report the prevalence, reasons, and determinants of dietary supplements use. Methods A month-long cross-sectional study was conducted in health and non-health colleges affiliated to Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. Convenient sampling was employed, and the data was gathered through an online survey using the English and Arabic versions of the Dietary Supplement Questionnaire (DSQ). The data was analyzed using SPSS version 23 and Medcalc. The study was approved by an ethics committee. Results Data from 545 participants was collected. The overall prevalence of dietary supplement use was 32.7% (95% CI: 29.06%– 36.51%). The prevalence was 29.77% (95% CI: 25.29%– 34.56%) among students at all health colleges combined and, it was 37.50% (95% CI: 31.36%– 43.96%) among students at all non-health colleges. Most students used a brand product, spent a monthly cost of SAR 286 (USD 76.3) on supplements and agreed that supplements were good for health (N = 392, 71.9%). Students from non-health- colleges agreed that dietary supplements are good for health in greater numbers as compared to non-health college students (p < 0.001). Students aged ≥ 20 years, studying in a non-health college and up to 3 rd year of study, were more 2 times more likely to agree that dietary supplements are good for health. Conclusion Supplements were commonly used among female students at this university however, it was quite low as compared to students from other local and regional universities. Prevalence was higher in non-health colleges as compared to health colleges and the most commonly used supplements were brand products and, multivitamins, used for general health and well-being. This highlights the inclination of students towards supplement use.

Road traffic injuries are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children in Saudi Arabia. Previous literature suggests that poor compliance to traffic safety measures is exacerbating the burden of childhood injuries. Although car seats have been found to reduce injuries among children, their compliance remains poor nationally. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether providing free car seats for newborns is associated with the compliance of car seat use 3 months after hospital discharge.This study was conducted in three regions of the country following a national public health campaign aimed to improve traffic safety. In November 2020, five hundred car seats were given to mothers at the time of discharge. Three months later, parents were contacted to evaluate the prevalence of compliance. In addition to estimating the prevalence of car seat use at 3 months, the analysis assessed predictors of use using a multiple logistic regression model.Of the 486 initial participants, 375 (77%) responded. According to the parents, 76% of children still use the car seat 3 months after hospital discharge. The age of the parents and the number of family members were significant predictors of car seat use. Smaller families (≤4 members) were 2.2 (95% confidence interval: 1.36-3.82) times more likely to comply with the car seat law 3 months after discharge than larger families. Most of the respondents (70.5%) strongly agree that child restraint systems are an essential device while driving with children.We found that providing free car seats for newborn children is associated with uptake of improved traffic safety, but compliance remains lower than in developed countries. Further studies are needed to facilitate improving child seat safety among large families. As the country strives to invest in reducing traffic injuries, similar initiatives may facilitate adopting safety measures among parents, which may reduce preventable injuries and improve population health.

Abstract Public trust in vaccines is a major global health issue. This study aims to assess the vaccine acceptance among healthcare workers and their confidence and hesitancy of the COVID19 vaccine. This was a multicenter cross-sectional survey conducted among healthcare providers in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. Data collection was carried out between October and November of 2020 through a web-based survey. COVID19 vaccine hesitancy was assessed using eight structured items adapted from the 5Cs. About 34.6% (95% CI: 27.6%-42.4%) of participants were willing to vaccinate against COVID-19 and 44% (95% CI: 36.5%-51.9%) will recommend the vaccine to their patients. About 45% of participants were neutral regarding vaccine safety and 40% were neutral regarding vaccine effectiveness. Almost 70% believe that the duration of clinical studies of the COVID-19 vaccines affects their confidence in the efficacy and safety of the vaccine. Those who never hesitated or delayed taking any of the recommended vaccination were more likely to be willing to vaccinate COVID-19 (OR 5.46, 95% CI: 2.49-11.98). Assessing the level of vaccine confidence in the population and associated factors will help implement an effective national vaccine program to enhance vaccination uptake and control COVID19 spread during this pandemic. Key messages Vaccine hesitancy is challenging vaccination goals at the national and global level. Hesitancy from the population toward vaccine and concerns regarding its safety and efficacy was observed with the development of a novel vaccine for COVID19 a newly emerged infection.

Mental health issues can have significant impacts on individuals and communities and hence on social sustainability. There are several challenges facing mental health treatment, however, more important is to remove the root causes of mental illnesses because doing so can help prevent mental health problems from occurring or recurring. This requires a holistic approach to understanding mental health issues that are missing from the existing research. Mental health should be understood in the context of social and environmental factors. More research and awareness are needed, as well as interventions to address root causes. The effectiveness and risks of medications should also be studied. This paper proposes a big data and machine learning-based approach for the automatic discovery of parameters related to mental health from Twitter data. The parameters are discovered from three different perspectives, Drugs &amp; Treatments, Causes &amp; Effects, and Drug Abuse. We used Twitter to gather 1,048,575 tweets in Arabic about psychological health in Saudi Arabia. We built a big data machine learning software tool for this work. A total of 52 parameters were discovered for all three perspectives. We defined 6 macro-parameters (Diseases &amp; Disorders, Individual Factors, Social &amp; Economic Factors, Treatment Options, Treatment Limitations, and Drug Abuse) to aggregate related parameters. We provide a comprehensive account of mental health, causes, medicines and treatments, mental health and drug effects, and drug abuse, as seen on Twitter, discussed by the public and health professionals. Moreover, we identify their associations with different drugs. The work will open new directions for social media-based identification of drug use and abuse for mental health, as well as other micro and macro factors related to mental health. The methodology can be extended to other diseases and provides a potential for discovering evidence for forensics toxicology from social and digital media.

Background: In recent years, patients' safety has become high priority for health-care organizations. It has been documented that poor knowledge and compliance of health-care providers toward hand hygiene have contributed to poor patient safety outcomes. College students of health sciences may not receive adequate education and training on hand hygiene best practices. Objectives: To assess the health profession students' knowledge, attitude, and practice toward hand hygiene and to investigate the factors associated with poor hand hygiene knowledge and practice. Methods: This cross-sectional, correlational, descriptive study was conducted at King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences performing clinical rotations at King Abdulaziz Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A proportional sampling was used to calculate the required proportions that reflect the size of student population form each of the three colleges. A total of 270 students including 140 medical, 83 nursing, and 47 respiratory therapy students who were selected using a simple random sampling method were included in the study. An adapted and validated knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) questionnaire was used to assess four domains: general information, knowledge, self-reported compliance to the WHO 5 Moments of Hand Hygiene, and general satisfaction on received education. Results: The overall average of knowledge score was 81.13 points out of 100. The results revealed that the knowledge score of hand hygiene was higher for nursing school (84.22 ± 12.98), followed by medical school (81.71 ± 11.31) and then respiratory therapy program (75.53 ± 11.76). The results also showed that students who took courses covering hand hygiene scored higher in knowledge score (83.28 ± 11.3) as compared to students who did not take such courses (75.16 ± 12.89). In the compliance domain, the results showed that there were no significant differences in compliance of hand hygiene between students in all categories. In terms of overall student satisfaction with hand hygiene education and training, the results showed that nursing students have higher satisfaction score (72.7%) than their counterparts in medical school (48.3%) and respiratory therapy program (49.7%). Conclusion: Hand hygiene knowledge among students was generally good, and the highest was among nursing students and the lowest among respiratory therapy students. The compliance of students toward the WHO 5 Moments of Hand Hygiene did not vary across different colleges. Improved knowledge was found to be associated with improved compliance with hand hygiene best practices. Recommendations: Increasing the academic focus on hand hygiene in both the curriculum and clinical rotations with periodic standardized educational courses and focusing on hands-on workshops could have a positive impact on the knowledge and practice of hand hygiene for current health sciences students and future health-care providers. Future studies are needed to assess the hand hygiene KAP among students in hospital settings using observation of actual practice.

The New Corona Virus epidemic is the most serious epidemic that the international community had known in 2019 and this is manifested by the deaths it claimed and in a short time. Its risk is much greater than (MERS) disease that emerged in the Republic of Korea and it is spreading largely more than SARS disease which appeared in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East. This deadly disease caught the public’s attention and caused terror in many societies around the world. We are building a dynamic model based on the detailed data of mortality from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the actual spread of the epidemic. By using Routh-Hurwitz criteria and constructing Lyapunov functions, the local and the global stability of the disease-free equilibrium and the disease equilibrium are obtained. We also study the sensitivity analysis of model parameters to know the parameters that have a high impact on the reproduction number R0. Finally, numerical simulations are performed to verify the theoretical analysis using Matlab.

Saudi Arabia has witnessed a significant improvement in its health indicators. The kingdom has spent generously on the curative health services and established hundreds of hospitals and primary health care centers. However, we believe that this huge health expenditures and the presence of curative services is not the only reason for this improvement. Public health services have also had a significant impact on people's health and that this improvement is due to a combination of public health programs such as immunization, environmental sanitation and health education with good formulation of sound health policies and health delivery systems. It is noted that health plans and expenditure in the health system are concentrating on the curative aspects and there is a significant weaknesses in public health services. Additionally, most jobs are allocated for curative care and there is scarcity of job titles related to public health in the health structure, such as public health officers, public health inspectors and public health specialists. A suggested body namely, Ministry of public health, will work to confirm that all issues related to health of the public in every aspect of daily life in the kingdom are within the genuine interest of all policy makers.

In response to the aging population and rapid rise of chronic diseases, it is important to understand the knowledge about primary prevention. We aim to explore Saudi adults' knowledge of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and its primary prevention practices among the Saudi public.This is a cross-sectional community-based study, conducted among people living in Saudi Arabia to assess the knowledge of CVD risk factors using a total of 24-item questionnaires divided into two sections using the Likert scale, true /False/I do not know. The data were analyzed using the statistical software SPSS v. 26.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA).In this study, the 81.8% of participants (n=296) agreed that high blood pressure was a risk factor for CVD, while more than two-thirds (68.8%; n=249) believed that diabetes was a risk factor for CVD. Furthermore, about the same proportion of respondents ((79.8%; n=289) and (78.7%; n=285)) agreed that physical inactivity and smoking were risk factors for CVD. In addition, the vast majority of them (n=324; 89.5%) believed that regular exercise aids in the prevention of CVD. In contrast, 74.9% (n=271) of individuals agreed that quitting smoking helps prevent CVD. This study indicated that 55.8% (n=202) of respondents had strong knowledge of CVD, while 44.2% (n=160) had inadequate awareness of CVD risk factors and prevention methods. In terms of the association between socio-demographic factors and overall participants' knowledge of CVD risk factors and preventative measures, we discovered that age (p=0.000), gender (p=0.011), educational status (p=0.000), and the presence of chronic disease (p=0.000) were all significantly associated with CVD knowledge score levels.Saudi adults have adequate knowledge of CVD risk factors and prevention interventions, but more effort is needed to raise continuous awareness to reduce the prevalence of CVD.

It is essential for practicing clinicians to have core knowledge of biostatistics. However, surveys indicated that clinicians' attitudes towards biostatistics are negative. Despite its importance, little is known about the knowledge of and attitudes towards statistics among trainees in family medicine, particularly in Saudi Arabia. The current investigation attempts to evaluate knowledge and attitudes held by family medicine trainees in Taif and explore their correlates.This was a descriptive, questionnaire-based, cross-sectional study of residents in family medicine training programme in Taif, Saudi Arabia. We used Poisson regression modelling to evaluate the effect of background factors on knowledge and attitudes towards biostatistics.The study included 113 family medicine trainees at different levels of training. Only 36 (31.9%) of the participating trainees expressed positive attitudes towards biostatistics. On the other hand, 30 (26.5%) participating trainees were found to have good biostatistics knowledge, compared to 83 (73.5%) trainees whose knowledge level was found to be poor. Upon adjusting for all background factors simultaneously, only younger age, level R4 training, publishing one or three papers were found to be associated with poorer attitudes towards biostatistics. Older age was associated with worsening of attitudes (adjusted odds = 0.9900, P = 0.00924), and so also was being a senior R4 trainee (adjusted odds = 0.9045, P = 0.01301). Publishing one paper (compared to publishing over three papers) was associated with poorer attitudes towards biostatistics (adjusted odds = 0.8857, P = 0.03525). Also, having published three papers (compared to publishing over three papers) was still associated with worse attitudes towards biostatistics (adjusted odds = 0.8528, P = 0.01318).The main finding of our current study is the poor level of knowledge and overtly negative attitudes held by family medicine trainees in Taif towards biostatics. Knowledge was particularly poor about advanced statistical concepts such as survival analysis and linear regression modelling. However, poor levels of knowledge about biostatistics could be a function of poor research productivity among family medicine trainees. Age, seniority in training and involvement in research also impacted positively on attitudes towards biostatistics. Therefore, it is recommended that the training curriculum for family medicine trainees should first cover essential biostatistics in a creative and accessible way and secondly encourage engagement research and publication from an early stage of training.

This thesis is the first study of the crowd psychology of the annual Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca (Makkah) in Saudi Arabia, to employ self-categorization theory (SCT). The thesis aims to document and understand the perspective of pilgrims from a social psychological point of view, since no one has done that before, as well as to understand the perceptions of the Hajj management. Specifically, the thesis focuses on crowd perceptions, feelings of safety and the reasons for these feelings, and relations between subgroups in the crowd and between pilgrims and management. A literature review in Chapter two highlights the history and culture of the Hajj and the issues in managing the Hajj. Academic perspectives on crowd psychology are discussed in chapter three. Chapters four and five present respectively a UK pilot study of pilgrims and a field pilot study of pilgrims and management. Chapter six (the main interview study with pilgrims) indicates that despite the inconveniences, participants felt safe, secure and wellbeing inside the Grand Mosque during Hajj. Chapter seven (the main interview study with Hajj management) explores the participants’ understanding of crowd behaviour, crowd psychology and its relation to safety, danger and their own role. In Chapter eight (the major study of the thesis), a survey of 1194 pilgrims at the Hajj found that identification with the crowd predicted enjoyment of the crowd. Also, for those high in identification with the crowd, crowd density increased perceptions of safety. Perceived support was found to mediate these positive effects of social identity on feeling safe. Chapter nine critically explores the findings of the thesis and discusses them in relation to relevant literature. It also reflects on the implications of the study for the theory of crowd psychology, and considers what lessons there might be for the management of the Hajj. This chapter concludes the thesis and outlines suggestions for further research.

Background Urolithiasis is the formation of calculi in the urinary system. It is a public health concern worldwide that can lead to serious long-term consequences. Age, gender, dietary habits, and physical activity levels are all factors that increase the risk of urolithiasis formation. Furthermore, the presence of comorbid medical conditions such as diabetes and hypertension are other major risk factors. Among the most prominent determinants that raise the likelihood of acquiring urolithiasis is exposure to high temperatures, especially in middle-aged men. Consequently, Saudi residents are two and a half times more prone than the global average to develop urolithiasis, especially those in the Kingdom’s hottest regions. Methodology This cross-sectional study assessed the self-reported prevalence and non-nutritional risk factors of urolithiasis among the population of Hail, Saudi Arabia, through an electronic questionnaire. The questionnaire contained 16 questions divided into three categories. Participants’ permission was obtained before completing the questionnaire. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) was used to analyze the data. Results Of the 1150 participants with a mean age of 26.3 ± 12.8 years old, nearly half were males (50.9%). Urolithiasis was detected among 158 (13.7%) participants. The following factors showed significant relation with having urolithiasis: increased age, male gender, a low level of education, diabetes, hypertension, and hyperthyroidism. A family history of renal stones was also associated with double the risk of having urolithiasis. Conclusion The results showed a high prevalence of urolithiasis in the Hail region, with many risk factors associated with it. It is important to support and promote awareness campaigns that address the critical risk factors of urolithiasis. Further studies should be conducted to arrive at a better understanding of the association between non-nutritional risk factors and developing urolithiasis.

Sleep is an essential part of human physiology. Being a basic need for human well-being, adequate sleep is associated with good health and life quality for all individuals. Disorders of sleep may result in significant derangement in human functionality. Sleepiness among physicians affects not only their personal lives but also negatively impacts the lives of their patients.This is an analytic cross-sectional study design conducted among 268 male and female Saudi commission residents working in public healthcare facilities in the Aseer region, Saudi Arabia. The study aimed to assess sleep patterns and determine predictors of poor sleep quality among Saudi commission residents of the Aseer region, Saudi Arabia.The study reported that before COVID 19 pandemic, 85.1% of Saudi commission residents had poor sleep quality; however, during the pandemic, the percentage increased to 92.5% who showed poor sleep quality. Also, we found there was a significant association between different self-reported morbidities among Saudi commission residents and sleep disturbance (p < 0.05).The study revealed that the percentage of the Saudi commission residents had poor sleep quality during pandemic higher than before with significant difference, which indicates the relation between COVID 19 pandemic and sleeps quality among Saudi commission residents.

Abstract Background In recent years, there has been great interest in the dietary practices of vegetarians in addition to an increasing awareness of the potential benefits of vegetarian diets. However, there are insufficient data on the spread of vegetarianism in Arab countries. The aim of this study was to investigate knowledge and attitudes about vegetarianism and associated factors in the Saudi population and to understand the reasons for its growing prevalence. Method This is a cross-sectional study began in May 2020 and ended in September 2020. Researchers distributed the questionnaire electronically through social media. Data were collected electronically and exported to Excel by the researchers .The electronic questionnaire comprised three sections: sociodemographic questions, reasons for following a vegetarian diet, and beliefs and knowledge about vegetarianism. Results There were 3,035 responses, of which 80.2% of respondents were female and 19.8% were male. Participant were aged 18–65. Vegetarians represented 37.5% (15.7% semivegetarians, 8.1% pescovegetarians, 64.3% lacto-ovo-vegetarians, and 11.3% vegans), and the rest were nonvegetarians. The majority of the vegetarian participants (92.9%) had a low vegetarianism knowledge level. Health issues, followed by ethical and environmental concerns, were the most common motivators for adopting a vegetarian diet; these reasons were cited by 72.5%, 59.3%, and 47.9% of participants, respectively. Factors associated with increased vegetarianism were engaging in exercise for half an hour to two hours, while factors associated with decreased vegetarianism were male, aged 51–64 years, being married, having a higher education, working in the health sector, being a housewife, and having an income between 5,000 and 10,000 SR/month. Conclusion Vegetarianism appears to be a growing phenomenon among the Saudi population. Increased awareness of health issues and the desire to live a healthy lifestyle might be the strongest motives. This study offers an opportunity to better understand vegetarianism in Saudi Arabia along with the possibility of expanding vegetarian food choices for the general public.

Physical activity promotion has received increasing attention globally due to the considerable benefits of regular activity for population health and well-being. In Saudi Arabia, government strategy explicitly aims to increase physical activity participation among residents. This study assessed the barriers to physical activity among the general Saudi population including any age and gender differences and examined the contribution of contextual factors and nature relatedness to health and well-being. A representative sample of 1046 Saudi adults (aged 18 years and above) completed an online survey that included four validated scales: the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-short form, the Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale, the World Health Organization Five Well-Being Index and the Nature Relatedness Scale. Analyses indicated that young Saudi adults perceived more barriers than middle-aged and older adults, but few gender differences were observed. Furthermore, exercising outdoors, with other people and via sport predicted higher levels of mental well-being, as did nature relatedness. Therefore, developing a comprehensive strategy package that includes the development of outdoor environments for all age groups across regions and fostering a connection with nature may be particularly effective to improve the health and well-being of Saudi adults.

The objective of this study is to provide a comparative analysis of the health financing systems in India and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) across three major domains: resource mobilisation, pooling of resources and purchase of health services. This is an observational study using secondary data collected from international organisations, ministries of health and other government and non-government agencies in India and KSA. The study revealed that India has a very low expenditure on healthcare and markedly lower health outcomes compared to KSA. Although India’s health financing system has undergone notable changes in the last two decades, it is lagging behind in many health financing system parameters. However, the share of government expenditure on current health expenditure has been increasing steadily with higher allocations to primary and secondary care. By expanding health insurance coverage and sustainable public health funding, it is likely that India will make significant progress towards achieving UHC.

Purpose Turnover intention (TOI) has become a severe issue in Saudi Arabia’s health-care system as health professionals leave their organizations. Saudi Arabia’s health-care professionals’ TOI affects the organizations and the patients’ human rights. Therefore, this study aims to assess the factors that affected Saudi Arabia’s health-care professionals’ TOI. Design/methodology/approach This study based its findings on quantitative cross-sectional data. This study’s respondents were health-care professionals working in Saudi Arabia’s public and private health-care institutions. Findings By using path analysis, this study’s findings reveal that, on the one hand, job stress (JS), psychological distress (PD) and perceived work exhaustion (PWE) have positive and significant effects on TOI. On the other hand, perceived organizational support (POS) is a positive and significant predictor of TOI. Practical implications This study’s findings will help the Saudi Arabian Ministry and policymakers develop policies to encourage health professionals’ perseverance through reducing their JS, PD and PWE and by enhancing POS for health-care staff. Moreover, by controlling the increasing turnover ratio among Saudi Arabia’s health-care professionals, this study’s findings assist in overcoming the violations of human rights. Originality/value This study’s findings empirically confirm the development of TOI through JS, PD and PWE among Saudi Arabia’s health-care professionals.

This paper details the process involved in developing the theoretical framework of factors for a major study entitled “Factors influencing the implementation of ICD-10 in Saudi public hospitals”. An original systematic review strategy, together with specific features of Endnote bibliographic manager software, were used to classify the global literature, separating it into the categories of developed nations and developing nations and, again, nationally according to the national modifications of ICD-10. Finally, the separated literature was examined under three categories, namely Health information, Organization, and National, in order to cast light on how such a process could be implemented in Saudi public hospitals. The issue has not been previously discussed in the Saudi literature. Saudi Arabia is attempting to implement ICD-10 from scratch without the background of a history of earlier ICD version usage. The results of the systematic review indicate a combination of barriers facing healthcare organizations in implementing ICD-10, including a lack of training, specialists, awareness, technology, resources, and some administration barriers. However, in terms of the reality of developing nations, more applicable practical advice was found in the healthcare literature of Thailand, rather than in that of the OECD nations. As ICD-10 is a new phenomenon in Saudi public hospitals and, based on the findings of this paper, it is possible that implementation may best be underpinned by Rogers’ Theory of Diffusion of Innovations, although certain factors that are essential for its success illustrate that an organizational application Maslow’s Triangle applies in dealing with these factors first.

Introduction With the expeditious spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), healthcare workers have undoubtedly faced a higher risk of contracting the disease compared to the general public. This study aimed to stratify the risk of coronavirus disease 2019 infection among healthcare workers in the Eastern province of Saudi Arabia and shed light on their level of knowledge, attitude, and fear towards the disease. Methods A quantitative cross-sectional study, involving 978 Arabic and English-speaking healthcare workers, was conducted using a self-administered online questionnaire. The knowledge, attitude, and fear scales were developed by researchers using the most updated information regarding coronavirus disease 2019. The Objective Risk Stratification tool developed in the United Kingdom was used to measure the risk level of contracting coronavirus disease 2019. Collected data were analyzed and interpreted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences software. Results Out of the 978 participants, 63.1% were female, 74.6% were 20-39 years old, 86.9% were Saudis, and 31.3% worked as physicians. The most common health-related risk factors for severe coronavirus disease 2019 among the study participants were smoking (23.4%), sickle cell trait (22.8%), and asthma (21.2%). The risk of contracting coronavirus disease 2019 was found to be low in 87.2% of participants, with those significantly at higher risk being male, non-Saudis, black Africans, and 70-79 years old. The knowledge level was found to be high among 54.7% of participants, with significantly higher levels being reported among females, non-Saudis, and participants who were either physicians or pharmacists. The most commonly cited source of knowledge was the Saudi Ministry of Health (82%). Participants largely demonstrated a positive attitude towards the disease (53.9%), particularly those working as physicians and in the governmental sector. The majority of participants (54.4%) were found to have a high level of fear toward the disease, with significantly higher levels being reported among females, 30-39 years old, and those who were either nurses or pharmacists. Conclusion The present study demonstrated significant sociodemographic variability among healthcare workers in the Eastern province, with respect to their risk of contracting coronavirus disease 2019 and their levels of knowledge, attitude, and fear toward the disease.

The incidence of pathogens found in domestic refrigerator in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) is unacceptably high, even though it is also significant underestimation the true magnitude of the problem (Sheard, 1986). Food-borne diseases encompass a wide spectrum of illnesses and area growing public health problem worldwide. They are the result of ingesting contaminated foodstuffs, and range from diseases caused by a multitude of microorganisms (WHO, 2008). Food-borne diseases are widespread and growing public health problem, both in developed and developing countries. The global incidence of food-borne disease is difficult to estimate, but it has been reported that in 2005 alone, 1.8 million people died from diarrhoeic diseases (WHO, 2008). It has been suggested that the food borne illness is initiated in domestic refrigerator three times more frequently than in commercial refrigerator (Borneff, et al., 1988). Many cases are attributable to inappropriate food storage including ineffective chill storage and refrigerator management (Ryan, et al., 1996). Failure to follow correct practices in the adjustment maintenance use or cleaning of domestic refrigerator poses a number of risks to consumers.

Mental health issues among school-age children are variable yet consistently prevalent worldwide; the implications can be debilitating and long-lasting. Due to their regular interactions with students, school staff members are well poised to identify issues and implement in-school mental health interventions. In this qualitative study, we examine how staff in public elementary schools in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia perceived, assessed, and responded to mental health challenges among their students. We conducted semi-structured interviews with school staff members (n = 16) including teachers (n = 8), counselors (n = 4), and principals (n = 4) from public elementary all-female schools. Using a thematic analysis, we outlined the school staff’s perceptions of the causes and identifiers of students’ mental health problems, their approach to managing students with mental health problems, and the perceived barriers to improving students’ mental health with suggested solutions. Public health implications and future recommendations were discussed.

Since the discovery of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in late 2012, more than 1,400 people have received a laboratory diagnosis of MERS and over 450 people have died. Most of the cases have been documented on the Arabian Peninsula; however, sporadic cases have also been reported in Europe and Asia in travelers returning from the Middle East. Except in South Korea, the imported MERS-CoV has not established a substantive chain of infection beyond the index traveler case. The spread within South Korea to 186 people, resulting in 36 deaths, has been attributed to a delay in diagnosis and isolation of the index case, lapses in infection control, and care of patients by family members rather than trained medical staff. This interpretation was supported by a preliminary report from a World Health Organization panel wherein no mutations linked to transmissibility or pathogenesis were found in sequences obtained in South Korea and China. However, in a recent mBio article, Wang and colleagues report detailed genomic analysis of the virus implicated in the first known case of MERS in China (1). They describe 11 amino acid substitutions, 8 of them shared with the South Korean strain and MERS-CoV strains recently circulating in Saudi Arabia, and define a recombination event that they speculate may have contributed to enhanced human-to-human transmission of MERS-CoV and the rapid spread of the virus in South Korea.

Communities play an important and active role in preventing and controlling the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Reduction of COVID-19-related barriers and threats perceived by the public should be the top priority in promoting positive preventive behaviors among people. This cross-sectional study aimed at identifying the barriers and threats perceived by public university students in the southwestern part of Saudi Arabia during the COVID-19 pandemic. The students were recruited through a snowball sampling technique, and data were collected using a web-based questionnaire. Data on socio-demographic aspects, perceived barriers, and perceived threats were collected. Perceived barriers were estimated using the Health Belief Model (HBM) questionnaire, and perceived threats were estimated using the patient threat perceptions in the emergency department scale. This study was conducted between March and June 2020. Approximately 50% of the study participants had a high level of perceived barriers and a moderate level of total perceived threats. Notable factors associated with participants’ perceived barriers and threats were age, college type, and monthly income. Perceived barriers, participants’ residence location, and sex were also significantly related to each other. Moreover, perceived barriers were significantly correlated with perceived threats. COVID-19-related perceived barriers and threats ranged from a moderate level to a high level among most of the participating students. Perceived barriers were associated with some of the demographic variables. The findings from this study may help the government in formulating strategies for planning interventions to reduce COVID-19 pandemic propagation.

<b>Background:</b> Perfect implementation of the 6 priority policies advocated by the MPOWER package is the most important challenge for member state (MS) to reach tobacco control goals. <b>Methods:</b> A validated checklist which set according to the WHO Report on the Global Tobacco Epidemic was filling out 5 times based on biannual reports from 2011 to 2019 for 22 MS in Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR). It contained ten topics including smoking prevalence and seven elements of six MPOWER policies and tow compliances resulting with possible maximum score of 37. High score indicates better implementation. <b>Results:</b> The total score for the region increase from 416 in 2011 to 509 in 2019. Six countries (27% of the region) had more than 75% of total score while 11 countries were between 50% - 75% and 5 countries had less than 50% of total score in 2019. In all five reports, Iran has been ranked first in the region even in 2019, which had a 2 point decrease; Iran held the first place alongside with Pakistan and Saudi Arabia with 32 points. The highest score in the indicators was related to the monitoring, reaching from 35 in 2011 to 59 in 2019. The lowest score increase in the indicators was related to the Smoke-free Policy compliance and prevalence of consumption, reaching from 18 to 20 and 44 to 48 respectively between 2011 and 2019. <b>Conclusions:</b> Although several remarkable achievements have been made, many policy implementation challenges still remain and require urgent action by MS governments.

Background Religious gatherings like the Hajj, an Islamic pilgrimage, attract millions of people to one place during the same time frame. Due to crowding, infectious diseases, specifically tuberculosis (TB), are very common during such events. This study investigates the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of the public in the western region of Saudi Arabia related to TB to better understand the situation. Methodology An observational, questionnaire-based, cross-sectional study was conducted over two months between January and March 2022. A survey of 29 questions was used to collect data from the general population. The study included any person who was a resident of Makkah. Individuals under 18 years of age and health workers were excluded. We used OpenEpi, version 3.0, for sample size calculation, which gave a result of 604 participants, and SPSS version 25.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) was used for data analysis. Results A total of 604 participants were included in this study; 64.7% of respondents showed poor overall knowledge, and 14.1% had good knowledge of TB. Concerning attitude, 89.9% of the respondents showed poor attitude, and only 2.3% had a good attitude. As for practice, 59.4% of respondents had poor knowledge of proper practices, and only 10.4% knew the right practices regarding TB. Upon further analysis of our results, women exhibited better knowledge of TB than men (0.62, 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.44-0.87). Participants over 50 years old had the lowest knowledge about TB compared with participants aged 18 to 28 years old (7.61, 95% CI, 4.35-13.32). Non-Saudi residents had less knowledge compared with Saudi residents (45.849, 95% CI, 18.475-113.78). Level of education also played a substantial role; university graduates had the most knowledge about TB compared with participants with below university or no formal education (0.052, 95% CI, 0.01-0.40). Conclusions Participants with lower educational backgrounds were the most lacking in knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding TB. This lack of knowledge was more common among non-Saudi men over 50 years old. Information campaigns are needed to help reduce the prevalence of TB.

Despite recent government efforts to control antibiotic purchase by the public, the rate of self-prescription is still alarmingly high in Saudi Arabia. Increased and inappropriate antibiotic use has been identified as an important factor behind bacterial resistance. Recently, there has been an increased interest in the Saudi public's awareness of antibiotic use and resistance. However, none of the local studies examined the awareness and practices among patients attending primary care services. Additionally, the influencing factors of awareness and practices have never been comprehensively examined.To assess the levels of knowledge, attitude, and practices of antibiotic use and their influencing factors among a sample of patients at a primary care setting.A cross-sectional design was used to examine patients attending Al Wazarat Health Center in Riyadh between 1 January 2018 and 31 March 2018. Data was collected using a structured study questionnaire which included data on socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of the participants, as well as knowledge, attitude, and practices of antibiotic use. Scores were calculated for knowledge, attitude, and practices of antibiotic use and were translated to a 100-point scale for easy interpretation.The current analysis included 343 participants. The average age was 32.5 ± 10.0 years. The majority of the participants were women (63.0%), married (65.9%), and had college or higher education (57.0%). The overall antibiotic awareness level was 54.7% (including 43.9% for knowledge and 71.7% for attitude) and appropriate antibiotic practices were 68.3%. The scores of both awareness and practices were positively and significantly correlated (correlation coefficient = 0.440, P < 0.001). In addition to appropriate antibiotic practices, awareness was significantly associated with higher educational level and having children.The current findings indicate the need to improve awareness and understanding of the public regarding appropriate antibiotic use by targeting patients who attend primary care services with posters, structured educational sessions, and physician advice.

Noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCDs) are multifaceted, and the health implications of the COVID-19 pandemic are far-reaching, especially for NCDs. Physical distancing and quarantine can lead to the poor management of NCDs because the visual tracking of them has been replaced with medical digital technology, that is, smartphone apps. This study aimed to explore medical digital technology applications for NCDs for follow-up during the COVID-19 pandemic.The participants in this study were 400 adult patients with NCDs; they were selected by systematic random sampling. A descriptive cross-sectional design was used. The study was conducted in the outpatient department of Yanbu General Hospital and primary-care health centers in Yanbu Al-Baher, Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The tools used in this study were a structured questionnaire to collect the sociodemographic characteristics of the patients and their health history, an NCD questionnaire to assess follow-up of the patients during the COVID-19 pandemic, and a medical digital technologies questionnaire to explore the medical digital technology applications.The mean age of the patients was 47.32 ± 14.362 years, and 62.8% of them were female and 372 were male. Of the patients, 69.2% and 57.5% had been diagnosed with diabetes mellitus and hypertension, respectively; 52.4% were followed up monthly, and 29.75% used medical digital technology applications such as Tabeby Online to monitor their health. Furthermore, 71.75% and 75.5% of the patients used the Sehhaty and Tawakkalna medical digital applications, respectively. Overall, 38.7% of the patients were satisfied with using medical digital technology applications used for follow-up during the COVID-19 pandemic.The study concluded that the services that use networks, smartphones, and medical digital technology applications on the Saudi Ministry of Health website and mobile applications to improve the quality of the health-care system, and that provide health services for noncommunicable or communicable diseases, are not effective. This is because the patients lack awareness of these services, with most of the chronic patients being elderly with lower levels of education and computer literacy.

Adequate access to essential medicines for cardiovascular disease is necessary to address the high cardiovascular disease burden in countries of the Eastern Mediterranean Region of the World Health Organization (WHO).This study compared the cardiovascular disease medicines included in the WHO Model Essential Medicines List with those in the national essential medicines lists of 19 countries of the Region.Data were extracted on the number of cardiovascular medicines and dosage forms in the national lists and compared with those on the WHO Model List (24 medicines in total and 48 dosage forms). Factors associated with the number of essential cardiovascular medicines on the national lists (burden of cardiovascular diseases and health expenditure per capita) were assessed. The number of medicines from 6 therapeutic groups of cardiovascular medicines listed in the national lists but not in the core WHO Model List were evaluated.Countries with the lowest percentage of medicines from the WHO Model List out of the total cardiovascular disease medicines in the national lists were Djibouti (21%), Tunisia (22%), Saudi Arabia and Iraq (31% each), and Bahrain and Libya (32% each). The most common medicine dosage form in the national lists was tablets while some that needed oral liquid forms were not listed by any country. Tunisia (8%), Jordan (14%), Bahrain and Saudi Arabia (15% each) had the lowest alignment of dosage forms from the WHO model list.Countries should improve the selection of essential medicines for cardiovascular diseases to promote access to therapy.تحليل مقارن للأدوية الأساسية للأمراض الوعائية القلبية في بلدان إقليم شرق المتوسط لمنظمة الصحة العالمية.هدية مهرتاش، ريتشارد لاينج، فيرونيكا ورتز.يمثل الوصول إلى الأدوية الأساسية للأمراض الوعائية القلبية بصورة كافية ضرورة للتصدي لارتفاع عبء الأمراض الوعائية القلبية في بلدان إقليم شرق المتوسط لمنظمة الصحة العالمية.عمدت هذه الدراسة إلى مقارنة أدوية الأمراض الوعائية القلبية المدرجة في قائمة منظمة الصحة العالمية النموذجية للأدوية الأساسية وقائمة الأدوية الأساسية الوطنية لما مجموعه 19 بلداً من بلدان إقليم شرق المتوسط.اشتُقت بيانات متعلقة بعدد الأدوية الوعائية القلبية وأشكال الجرعات في القوائم الوطنية ومقارنتها بتلك الواردة في قائمة منظمة الصحة العالمية النموذجية (ما مجموعه 24 دواء و 48 شكلاً من أشكال الجرعات). وتم تقييم العوامل المرتبطة بعدد الأدوية الأساسية للأمراض الوعائية القلبية والواردة في القوائم الوطنية (عبء داء السكري والنفقات الصحية للفرد). وتم تقييم عدد الأدوية من 6 مجموعات علاجية من الأدوية الوعائية القلبية المدرجة في القوائم الوطنية ولكنها ليست في قائمة منظمة الصحة العالمية النموذجية الأساسية.كانت البلدان التي لديها أدنى نسبة من الأدوية الموصوفة في القائمة النموذجية لمنظمة الصحة العالمية من بين مجموع أدوية المرض القلبي الوعائي الموجودة في قوائمها الوطنية هي جيبوتي (21 %)، وتونس (22 %)، والمملكة العربية السعودية والعراق (31 % لكل منهما)، والبحرين وليبيا (%32 لكل منهما). ومثلت الأقراص أكثر أشكال جرعات الأدوية شيوعاً في القوائم الوطنية، بينما لم يدرج أي بلد بعض السوائل الفموية اللازمة في قوائمها. وكانت لدى تونس (8%)، والأردن (14 %)، والبحرين والمملكة العربية السعودية (15 % لكل منهما) أدنى أشكال الجرعات المتوافقة مع القائمة النموذجية لمنظمة الصحة العالمية.يمكن للبلدان تحسين اختيار الأدوية الأساسية للأمراض الوعائية القلبية لتحسين الحصول على العلاج.Analyse comparative des médicaments essentiels pour le traitement des maladies cardio-vasculaires dans les pays de la Région OMS de la Méditerranée orientale.Un accès suffisant aux médicaments essentiels pour le traitement des maladies cardio-vasculaires est nécessaire afin de s’attaquer au problème de la charge de morbidité élevée due à ce type de maladies dans la Région OMS de la Méditerranée orientale.La présente étude a comparé les médicaments pour le traitement des maladies cardio-vasculaires de la liste modèle OMS des médicaments essentiels avec ceux des listes nationales de médicaments essentiels de 19 pays de la Région de la Méditerranée orientale.Des données ont été extraites sur le nombre de médicaments cardio-vasculaires et les formes galéniques inclus aux listes nationales, et ces données ont été comparées avec celles de la liste modèle OMS (24 médicaments au total et 48 formes galéniques). Les facteurs associés au nombre de médicaments essentiels pour le traitement des maladies cardio-vasculaires inclus dans les listes nationales (charge des maladies cardio-vasculaires et dépenses de santé par habitant) ont été étudiés. Le nombre de médicaments issus de six groupes thérapeutiques de médicaments cardiovasculaires et inclus aux listes nationales, mais absents de la liste modèle OMS principale, a été évalué.Djibouti (21 %), la Tunisie (22 %), l’Arabie saoudite et l’Iraq (31 % chacun), et Bahreïn et la Libye (32 % chacun) étaient les pays qui avaient le plus faible pourcentage de médicaments figurant sur la liste modèle de l’OMS par rapport au nombre total de médicaments cardio-vasculaires sur leurs listes nationales. La forme galénique la plus répandue sur les listes nationales était les comprimés, tandis que certains liquides administrables par voie orale n’étaient listés par aucun pays. La Tunisie (8 %), la Jordanie (14 %), Bahreïn et l’Arabie saoudite (15 % chacun) étaient les pays qui alignaient le moins leurs formes galéniques sur la liste modèle de l’OMS.Les pays peuvent améliorer leur sélection de médicaments cardio-vasculaires essentiels afin de promouvoir l’accès au traitement.

The Kumbh Mela festival is the largest mass gathering in the world that is celebrated every three years. In 2016, it attracted over 70 million people to Ujjain, India. The Mahakal temple is the “heart” of the festival that attracts a huge number of pilgrims and needs to accommodate with massive crowds. These types of events pose significant safety challenges as large-scale mass gatherings are often associated with risks such as crowd crushes. There have been a number of serious incidents documented in recent history such as the Hajj crush at Mina, Mecca, Saudi Arabia (2006 and 2015), the Lame Horse crush during a fire at Perm, Russia (2009), the Love Parade disaster at Duisburg, Germany (2010), and the Kumbh Mela stampede at Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, India (2013) to name a few. Safety assurance at events of such tremendous size is closely connected with crowd control and understanding the general behaviour of the crowd. One of the basic challenges in understanding crowd dynamics is being able to predict crowd flows at a particular location based on past/present flows from another location. There are several existing methods and models used to predict and manage crowd flow. In this paper, we introduce a novel method for short-term crowd flow prediction and show that it decreases the prediction error by 13% as compared to existing methods. The model is based on ensemble learning where we demonstrate that a combination of complementary methods with different a-priory assumptions can create better estimations. Utilizing a unique data set derived from CCTV camera recordings of pilgrims that we collected during the Kumbh Mela 2016 festival, we tested different methods from artificial intelligence and computational modelling, such as simple shift of time-series (time-shift), agent-based modelling, machine learning methods, and show how combinations of these different methods as an ensemble provide synergy to obtain better predictions. Our results demonstrate that agent-based modelling, when combined with other models, provides better predictive power especially in complex scenarios. These results point to something fundamental about the information contained within and generated by these methods. We anticipate that our research could be a starting point for further research of informational synergetic aspects of models and predictors.

Background: Health literacy is a new concept in health promotion services that has reflections on the outcomes of health education and communication activities. Health literacy provides skills that enable individuals to understand, share personal and health information with providers, navigate the healthcare system, engage in self-care, and adopt health-promoting behaviors. However, In Saudi Arabia, limited researches have been conducted in the nursing field to assess nurses’ knowledge and perception of health literacy. This study aimed to assess the nurses’ current knowledge and perception about the impact of health literacy on patients and their practice. Methodology: A descriptive survey design was used in this study. The sample consisted of 679 nurses who worked in a tertiary care setting. The data was collected using a self- reported questionnaire. Result: The study findings revealed that most of the nurses have moderate knowledge about health literacy, and the majority of participants perceived a limited impact of health literacy on patients care. Recommendation: It is important for health care organizations to have specialized tools that can effectively measure health literacy levels; there is an urgent need to design professional programs for healthcare professionals that enable them to improve their level of health literacy and organizations need to ensure the effective implementation of health literacy programs.

A mass gathering (MG) is defined by World Health Organization (WHO) as “any occasion, either organized or spontaneous, that attracts sufficient numbers of people to strain the planning and response resources of the community, city or nation hosting the event” (1). Hajj pilgrimage is one of the fundamental pillars of Islam which must be performed by those Muslims with adequate means and health once in their lifetime (2). Hajj as a mass gathering of pilgrims around the world can amplify the transmission of epidemic prone diseases at the Hajj place and the countries which departed pilgrims as well. This letter was aimed to highlight (i) the rationale for implementing syndromic surveillance in the era of public health issues of Hajj pilgrimage and (ii) challenges faced to Iranian health system. There are sufficient evidences that indicate public health issues of MG such as risk of infectious diseases, outbreaks, noncommunicable disease risks and so on (3-6). In other word, infections can spread from the host to home community once participants return to their country (3). Generally speaking, one of the main challenges for policy makers is the process of identifying known or potential diseases or outbreaks. As general recommendations, pilgrims should be taken counseling and screening for diseases before travel, educated well for respiratory and hand hygiene precautions (7). Vaccination against meningococcal disease and yellow fever is required by Saudi Arabia for Hajj pilgrims as well (8). To detect health events that occur during Hajj pilgrimage, syndromic surveillance system should be implemented. This system should communicate information for early recognition and reporting by clinicians using prediagnostic data. Communicating such data play an important role in the home country to prevention the spread of infections from Hajj pilgrims to their country. Moreover, there are some diseases with long incubation periods which might be affect pilgrims during Hajj. So that, such diseases can pose a risk among pilgrims and their relatives on return. Accordingly, complete evaluation of pilgrims using rapid diagnosis tests by their entrance to Iran, post travel counseling and postponing social activities were recommended by experts. If needed, health system should implements a passive surveillance system using innovative mobile networks and so on. In conclusion, we just presented here the outlines of challenges and their solutions in Iran in context of Hajj pilgrimage. So that, policy makers and public health surveillance stakeholders should be assured that the recommended strategies were applicable and efficient.

Experience from mass gatherings - usually attended by at least 25'000 persons - shows that approximately one in a thousand participants will consult with an on-site medical emergency service. Communicable diseases usually play a minor role. Historically outbreaks of meningococcal disease were recorded after the hajj, but this has been well controlled in the past few years subsequent to vaccinations and other measures required by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia health authorities. Major stress of the regional public health system is associated with accidents and non-communicable diseases, the majority being trivial. Host and environmental risk factors can result in a dramatic increase in the rate of consultations: Age and pre-existing illness play a decisive role particularly in pilgrims, be that in Mecca or Lourdes. Emotional factors may influence behavior; aggressions can develop. Alcohol and drugs, also the duration of an event may play a decisive role. Extreme climatic conditions, both heat and cold, also exhaustion result in a dramatic increase of emergency consultations. Infrastructure must be adapted for the crowd size, particularly stampede associated disasters can be avoided. The World Health Organization and other interested expert groups have in the past few years formulated interdisciplinary programs for prevention.Die Erfahrung aus Massenveranstaltungen – üblicherweise von mehr als 25'000 Personen besucht – zeigt, dass deren etwa eine von Tausend eine der medizinischen Hilfsstellen konsultieren wird. Üblicherweise spielen Infektionskrankheiten hierbei eine untergeordnete Rolle; früher allerdings sind nach dem Hadsch in aller Welt unter anderem Ausbrüche von Meningokokken-Meningitis aufgetreten. Dank Impfungen und anderen Maßnahmen hat sich dies eindämmen lassen. Mehrheitlich ist die Belastung der Strukturen des regionalen Gesundheitswesens durch Unfälle und nicht übertragbare Krankheiten bedingt. Eine Mehrheit dieser Konsultationen betrifft Banalitäten. Persönliche und umgebungsbedingte Risikofaktoren können allerdings in einer dramatischen Steigerung der Rate der Konsultationen resultieren: Alter und vorbestehende Krankheiten spielen eine Rolle vor allem bei Pilgern (Hadsch, Lourdes), emotionale Faktoren beeinflussen das Verhalten und können allenfalls zu Aggressionen führen. Auch Alkohol und Drogen, letztlich ebenfalls die Dauer eines Events spielen hierbei eine zentrale Rolle. Extreme klimatische Verhältnisse, Hitze oder Kälte resultieren in oftmals dramatisch vermehrten Notfallkonsultationen. Die Infrastruktur muss der Volksmenge angepasst sein, insbesondere ist zu vermeiden, dass es in einem Nadelöhr zum Gedränge und Desaster kommt. Die Weltgesundheitsorganisation und andere interessierte Gremien haben in den letzten Jahren Richtlinien zur Prävention formuliert.

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

Although the number of cigarettes smoked has been declining due to major public health initiatives, shisha tobacco smoking is gaining popularity around the world, particularly among youth and university students.A cross-sectional study was conducted among 464 university students in Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia using a structured questionnaire (i) to assess the prevalence of shisha smoking; (ii) to evaluate risk-perception, knowledge and normative belief about shisha smoking, and to compare these among users and non-users of shisha.The study reported a high prevalence (22.8%) of the current use of shisha among the university students with a narrow gender gap and found that STS is getting more popular than other forms of tobacco. A quarter of participants had low risk perception and 30.2% had low knowledge of shisha smoking harm. Importantly, more than two-fifth of them were current users of shisha. Low risk-perception about shisha and social acceptability were significantly contributed to the high prevalence of shisha smoking among the youth.It is important to provide exposure to education related to shisha hazards and increase the awareness of students and the public about the health effects of shisha smoking.

Food insecurity is a major public health concerns that have influences at the individual and environmental levels. The objectives of our study were to measure the prevalence of food insecurity among low income women and to determine the factors related to food insecurity such as weight status, socioeconomic status and dietary factors. A cross-sectional study, was conducted in Al-Ahsa among 147 low-income women were interviewed to collect data about socioeconomic and nutritional status. Fifty seven percent of the women reported as food insecure (21% household food insecure, 12% individual food insecure and 24% child hunger), the majority of them were married and housewives. Women in child hunger group reported the lowest mean years of education (4.64 years) with significantly higher mean of weight and BMI (p = 0.03, p = 0.024, respectively) compared to other groups. The recommended daily serving intakes of all food groups were adequate only fruit and vegetable group was inadequate (two serving). While women in the food insecure groups had higher mean intakes of energy, fat, protein and carbohydrate. This present study showed that food insecurity is present in Saudi Arabia and associated with nutritional status and that highlight the importance of more researches about food insecurity and public health in the community.

In this issue of the JAAD, Chen et al1Chen Y. Pradhan S. Xue S. What are we doing in the dermatology outpatient department amidst the raging of the 2019 novel coronavirus?.J Am Acad Dermatol. 2020; 82: 1034Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (64) Google Scholar discuss patient safety measures in a Chinese dermatology clinic during the coronavirus outbreak (2019-nCoV acute respiratory disease), including patient screening, respiratory precautions, and telemedicine consultations. The steps they enacted serve as a reminder that we should have policies in place for infection control in every dermatology clinic. Patients with varicella, measles, and other viral exanthems present to the dermatologist and may pose a risk to patients and office staff. Employees should receive all appropriate vaccinations, and testing should be available for employees to determine their immune status. This is especially important for women of child-bearing age who may be exposed to diseases such as varicella and erythema infectiosum. If available, a negative pressure room should be designated as an isolation room for patients with respiratory pathogens, and exposed susceptible individuals should be furloughed during the incubation period.2Herwaldt L. Smith S. Carter C. Infection control in the outpatient setting.Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol. 1998; 19: 41-74Crossref PubMed Scopus (47) Google Scholar,3Preblud S.R. Nosocomial varicella. Worth preventing, but how?.Am J Public Health. 1988; 78: 13-15Crossref PubMed Scopus (13) Google Scholar Large health care organizations often address these issues during in-processing of employees, but many dermatologists practice in private clinics and should review existing policies to prepare for the inevitability of contagious patients entering the clinic. This is not the first outbreak of a severe coronavirus. Prior outbreaks of virulent coronavirus strains have also been associated with severe respiratory syndromes and patient deaths. Individuals who are asymptomatic or who have only mild symptoms may spread the virus. However, superspreading events—instances where an index patient transmitted disease to ≥5 subsequent patients—were typically associated with patients who were severely ill, initially not recognized as severe respiratory syndrome-coronavirus cases, and subsequently died. Delays in implementation of control measures contributed to secondary transmission, but contact tracing, testing, employee furloughing, and implementation of recommended transmission-based precautions for suspected cases ultimately halted transmission.4Alanazi K.H. Killerby M.E. Biggs H.M. et al.Scope and extent of healthcare-associated Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus transmission during two contemporaneous outbreaks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 2017.Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol. 2019; 40: 79-88Crossref PubMed Scopus (18) Google Scholar Our responsibility for patient and employee safety is not limited to respiratory pathogens. Virulent streptococcal infections associated with necrotizing fasciitis and death have been spread during liposuction in outpatient facilities.5Beaudoin A.L. Torso L.

Substandard infection control, including errors in equipment sterilization and standard precautions, contributed to the outbreak. Prevention of transmission of blood-borne infections deserves special mention, and readers should review the JAAD continuing medical education articles that focused on patient safety and blood-borne pathogens (https://www.jaad.org/article/S0190-9622(09)00603-3/fulltext and https://www.jaad.org/article/S0190-9622(09)00602-1/fulltext).6Elston D.M.

Background: Chronic diseases have significant impacts on health systems worldwide and are a leading cause of death. Early diagnosis and treatment of chronic diseases are the best ways to reduce mortality and morbidity. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate public access to preventive services for chronic diseases in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A survey of university hospital visitors was conducted in 2019. Participants were randomly selected and asked to fill a 16-question survey, including demographics, health care utilization, and type of preventive services. The chi-square test (SPSS) was used to identify any significant association between age and gender using the variable of preventive screening or counseling. Results: The majority of individuals who completed the survey (250 participants) were young, married, and male bachelor’s degree holders. About 71% of the participants received counseling services for either smoking, physical activity, weight, diet, or sleeping. More than half (58%) had undergone screening services, including breast cancer, colon cancer, diabetes, hypertension, or weight management. Chi-square analysis showed that females had a significant (P < 0.01) positive statistical relationship with the utilization of diabetes and breast cancer screening services, while males were more associated (P < 0.01) with smoking and weight-related counseling than females. Conclusions: The study demonstrated an insufficient use of preventive services and that sociodemographic differences (such as age and gender) could influence the utilization of various preventive services. Females were significantly positively associated with breast cancer and diabetes-related preventive services as these diseases are highly prevalent among females. Public education and awareness campaigns are needed to broadcast the importance of preventive services and promote better understanding and management of chronic diseases.

Objective: The objective of the study is to identify associations between the sociodemographic characteristics and the level of knowledge, scope of attitudes, and self-reported practices among adults during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in Riyadh. Methods: A quantitative, cross-sectional study of adults was conducted using a multistage participatory approach between May 31 and June 7, 2020, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Results: Of 1364 study participants, 73.9% knew the descriptive type of COVID-19. Females showed a statistically significant higher knowledge composite (P < 0.0001), and the majority had higher sufficient knowledge scores than males. Only 24.9% agreed that individuals could be tested positive for influenza and COVID-19 at the same time. Negative attitudes were highly prevalent among younger, unmarried, non-Saudi, male participants (P < 0.05). 72.9% reported placing masks on infants or children under 2 years. Similarly, older age groups and Saudi females were better at practicing risk-based preventive controls for COVID-19 than younger age groups and non-Saudi males (P < 0.0001). 60% expressed that if a vaccine would be available this year, they would feel it was rushed, while 56% would consider receiving it but would wait to see what happens to others. Conclusion: These findings could be helpful in guiding machine learning models in groups more affected by knowledge insufficiency, gaps in attitudes, and behavioral compliance.

Background and Objectives: Oral health is one of the most significant issues in public health. The Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) Index is a useful tool for assessing and measuring the state of oral health in a community. This study aimed to evaluate oral health knowledge, attitudes, and practices among participants who visited a dental clinic at King Faisal University and to evaluate their DMFT scores. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was conducted at the King Faisal University dental complex, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, using a simple random sampling technique. The data were collected using a self-administered structured questionnaire in English and Arabic. All statistical analyses were carried out using the SPSS 20 software. A chi square and ANOVA test were used to assess the association. A p value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: There were a total of 260 participants, of whom 193 (74.2%) were male and 67 (25.8%) were female. Most participants, 173 (66.5%), were between the ages of 18 and 28. The majority of the participants 191 (73.5%) believed that bad oral hygiene led to gum disease. Additionally, major issues while visiting dental clinics, the importance of routine dental clinic visits, the existence of a connection between oral and general health, brushing time and frequency of change of used brush were significantly influenced by gender (p < 0.05). In terms of the DMFT index, mean numbers of decaying teeth (D) were 4.82 ± 4.15, mean numbers of missing teeth (M) were 1.56 ± 2.94, mean numbers of filled teeth (F) were 5.17 ± 5.28 and mean DMFT score was 11.56 ± 6.32, with a statistically significant difference observed (p < 0.001). Conclusions: This study concluded that, although some of the study participants neglected oral hygiene practices, the majority of participants had good knowledge and attitudes regarding the significance of oral hygiene. Owing to inadequate practices, the decayed, missing, and filled teeth scores increased with increasing age. Additionally, gender had no significant impact on the mean scores for decayed, missing, and filled teeth, although there were significant differences between age groups.

Increased temperature and humidity across the world and emergence of mosquito-borne diseases, notably dengue both continue to present public health problems, but their relationship is not clear as conflicting evidence abound on the association between climate conditions and risk of dengue fever. This characterization is important as mitigation of climate change-related variables will contribute toward efficient planning of health services. The purpose of this study was to determine whether humidity in addition to high temperatures increase the risk of dengue transmission.We have assessed the joint association between temperature and humidity with the incidence of dengue fever at Jeddah City in Saudi Arabia. We obtained weekly data from Jeddah City on temperature and humidity between 2006 and 2009 for 200 weeks starting week 1/2006 and ending week 53/2009. We also collected incident case data on dengue fever in Jeddah City.The cross-tabulated analysis showed an association between temperature or humidity conditions and incident cases of dengue. Our data found that hot and dry conditions were associated with a high risk of dengue incidence in Jeddah City.Hot and dry conditions are risk factors for dengue fever.

Mental health issues can have significant impacts on individuals and communities and hence on social sustainability. There are several challenges facing mental health treatment; however, more important is to remove the root causes of mental illnesses because doing so can help prevent mental health problems from occurring or recurring. This requires a holistic approach to understanding mental health issues that are missing from the existing research. Mental health should be understood in the context of social and environmental factors. More research and awareness are needed, as well as interventions to address root causes. The effectiveness and risks of medications should also be studied. This paper proposes a big data and machine learning-based approach for the automatic discovery of parameters related to mental health from Twitter data. The parameters are discovered from three different perspectives: Drugs and Treatments, Causes and Effects, and Drug Abuse. We used Twitter to gather 1,048,575 tweets in Arabic about psychological health in Saudi Arabia. We built a big data machine learning software tool for this work. A total of 52 parameters were discovered for all three perspectives. We defined six macro-parameters (Diseases and Disorders, Individual Factors, Social and Economic Factors, Treatment Options, Treatment Limitations, and Drug Abuse) to aggregate related parameters. We provide a comprehensive account of mental health, causes, medicines and treatments, mental health and drug effects, and drug abuse, as seen on Twitter, discussed by the public and health professionals. Moreover, we identify their associations with different drugs. The work will open new directions for a social media-based identification of drug use and abuse for mental health, as well as other micro and macro factors related to mental health. The methodology can be extended to other diseases and provides a potential for discovering evidence for forensics toxicology from social and digital media.

Background: Smoking is a growing public health problem throughout the world. However, the attitude of males and females toward smoking may differ. Therefore, this study examines gender differences in smoking behavior and attitude among Saudi medical students. Methods: From January 2020 to August 2020, a snowball cross-sectional online survey was conducted in five major regions of Saudi Arabia. Medical students (18 years or older) were invited to respond to the questionnaire. Results: Out of the 421 respondents, 255 (60.6%) were female, 243 (57.7%) were between 18 and-24-year-old, and 164 (39%) were from the Eastern Province. The overall prevalence of smoking was 25.4% and was higher among males than females [(44% and 13.3%, respectively), P < 0.001]. However, there was no significant difference in the mean score of the overall attitude towards smoking between males and females [(3.02±0.44 and 3.00±0.34), respectively, P=0.64]. However, more female students believed e-cigarettes were harmful to health than male students [(4.19±1.04 and 4.45±0.9), respectively, P=0.002]. Conclusion: The study showed that male students smoke more than female students, and there were no significant differences in the overall attitudes score towards smoking. Therefore, campaigns are needed to decrease smoking rate, especially among male students.

Background: Untreated component of dental caries in Saudi Arabia is alarming even though the accessibility of dental services is at free of cost to all Saudi nationals. Aim/Objective: The aim of the present study is to assess the efficiency among three different types of school-based oral health promotion programs in Sakaka children. Materials and Methods: A cluster randomized controlled trail included 765 schoolchildren. Three different models of school-based oral health promotion programs were tested in this study. Outcome measures were evaluated after 12-month follow-up, which include difference in prevalence and mean number of untreated dental caries, annual dental service utilization rates, and difference in mean oral health-promoting behavior between baseline and at the end of the program. Results: Seven hundred and two children were available for outcome measurement. There is reduction in both prevalence and mean number of untreated dental caries in all the three groups but significant reduction observed in Model-3 group of children. Similarly, improvement in dental visit patterns was also observed more in Model-3 group compared with other two groups. Conclusion: Health education including teachers with 6-monthly reinforcement, screening, and referral to specific treatment facility with follow-up reminders was found to be an effective model.

The Hajj mass gathering annually attracts over two million Muslim pilgrims worldwide to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). We aimed to establish demographics and health profiles for the South African pilgrims performing the 2017 Hajj. Methods: This is a longitudinal survey-based study conducted on 1138 adult South African pilgrims in two phases (during and post-Hajj). Data on demographics, vaccination status, underlying health conditions, pre-Hajj training, health promotion, travel history, and health issues during and post-Hajj were collected using pre-designed questionnaires. Results: Participants had a mean age of 49.2 years (SD = 13.3; range 18–81), with a male: female ratio of 1.2:1. The majority of pilgrims were married (88.2%), of Indian/Asian background (73%), and literate (>99%). Nearly all pilgrims were vaccinated against meningococcal disease and yellow fever, but only 23.7% were vaccinated against Influenza. Hypertension, diabetes, and elevated cholesterol levels were the most common underlying health conditions reported by 22.6%, 13.2%, and 11.5% of pilgrims, respectively. One month after return to South Africa, nearly 65% of pilgrims reported illness during Hajj, while 40% reported falling ill post event upon return to South Africa. Nevertheless, only a few were admitted to hospitals (12 during Hajj and 15 post-Hajj). Among ill pilgrims, respiratory symptoms were the most commonly experienced symptoms during (70.2%) and post-Hajj (82.2%). Other symptoms such as walking-related symptoms include symptoms directly related or mainly caused by walking (e.g., leg pain, sore feet, blisters on the feet), dehydration, and gastrointestinal tract symptoms reported during Hajj. Medication to treat respiratory symptoms and antibiotics were the most commonly used medications during and post-Hajj. Having an underlying health condition was an independent predictor of falling ill during or post Hajj. Conclusion: Our study indicates that a sizable proportion of South African pilgrims are elderly with underlying health conditions and most contract respiratory tract infections during and post Hajj. Our study highlights the need for systematic collection of prospective pilgrims’ demographics and health data and more attention to post-Hajj health follow-ups of pilgrims.

Objectives While internship training is well established for medical records and for healthcare quality improvement, it is not quite so for training related to IT/health informatics. A comparison was made on the hospital-based IT/health informatics internship training received by students completing their training at the Imam AbdulRahman Bin Faisal University (IAU) in the Eastern province of Saudi Arabia. Methods The three hospitals studied all have the Joint Commission International accreditation and advanced Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems. Over the period from 2011 to 2015, interns from the IAU prepared 120 reports based on their training at these three hospitals. Data abstraction was done on the internship reports, and the results were summarized and interpreted. Results The study found wide differences in the training received at these hospitals. The main reason for the differences is whether or not the EHR system used in the hospital was a commercial one or developed in-house. Conclusions The hospital that had developed its own EHR system made more use of health information management interns during their IT rotation in comparison to hospitals which had adopted commercial EHR systems. Recommendations are made of both local relevance and of international relevance.

Background: Tobacco a huge global public health problem with 1.3 billion smokers worldwide contributed to 8.8% of all deaths and 4.1% of DALYs. Current prevalence of tobacco in Saudi is 12.1% considering the extent of tobacco smoking as a health issue. Objective: This study aims to find out the smoking patterns, quitting trials and determinants of smoking cessation among smokers in Aseer region. Methods: This study was conducted in six main antismoking clinics located in Abha city, Aseer region using a purposive sampling technique, this medical-record based, retrospective cohort study included data of all smokers (695) who attended the centers for the sake of quitting smoking. Results: A small percentage (12.8%) had successfully quit smoking i.e. they were smoking free for more than one year. A large proportion (78.3%) reported a previous attempt to quit smoking. Among those who tried to quit smoking, the number of trials ranged from to 1 to 6 times with an average of 2.34 ± 1.46 times and a median of 2 times. The average age of those trying to quit smoking (30.69+10.18 years) was significantly (t=2.127, P=0.034) lower than the corresponding figures of those who did not (32.69 ± 10.31 y). Conclusion: A good proportion of the respondents have a desire to quit and attempts quitting. The tobacco control program in Saudi Arabia has made great efforts with setting up of smoking cessation clinics that are manned with family physicians.

Background: Active participation in health research plays an integral role in the development and implementation of evidence-based health interventions and policies. Aims: To assess public willingness and determinants of participation in public health research. Methods: A cross-sectional survey targeting Saudi residents aged > 16 years from the 13 regions of Saudi Arabia, using computer-assisted telephone interviews. We assessed the sociodemographic of participants, participants’ involvement in research, their acceptance to participate, barriers hindering their participation, and their willingness to be involved in future health research. Pearson’s χ2 and logistic regression analyses were used to explore determinants. Results: There were 2512 participants in this study. Three hundred and seventy one (14.8%) confirmed that they had been invited previously to participate in research studies and 271 (73%) accepted the invitation. The majority (92%, n = 2319) of participants were willing to participate in future research. Being a young adult, male, college-educated, and employed were the main factors associated with willingness to participate in health research. Those who had previous experience of participation in health research were 3 times more willing to participate in future health research compared with participants with no prior experience (P < 0.001). Conclusions: This study highlighted the key determinants of willingness to participate in health research. Most participants had never been invited to participate in health research, but the majority reported a positive attitude towards participation. With rapid health system development nationally and regionally, Saudi participation levels in health research still need improvement.

The Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia has announced a plan to eradicate hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. This study sought to evaluate the knowledge levels and testing rate among the general population of Saudi Arabia.A cross-sectional study was conducted using data collected from an online, self-administered survey. Multivariable analysis was conducted using multiple binary logistic regression models to identify factors associated with low knowledge levels as well as predictors of HCV testing.A total of 689 participants completed the survey. While most participants (88%) have heard of HCV infection, less than half (47.3%) understood that HCV is curable with medications. More than half of the participants (53.7%) have low knowledge about HCV infection. Testing for HCV was reported by 123 respondents (17.8%), and the odds of testing for HCV were significantly lower among residents of the Makkah region (OR = 0.59 [95% CI: 0.36-0.97]) and those with low knowledge level (OR = 0.47 [95% CI: 0.29-0.74]). HCV diagnosis was reported by nine respondents (1.3%), of whom only four reported receiving treatment (44%).Our study indicates inadequate knowledge levels and relatively low testing rate. These findings underscore the need for national awareness campaigns and more effective strategies for HCV screening.

There is emerging literature on the decline in adherence to preventive measures against the COVID-19 pandemic, a phenomenon of pandemic fatigue (PF). However, academics and policymakers have debated its existence and consequences. We conducted this study to explore this phenomenon, its existence, determinants, and relation to adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures, and the mediating role of resilience, fear of COVID-19, and electronic health literacy about COVID-19 in this relationship.This cross-sectional online study was conducted from April to June 2021 using a convenience sample of 650 Saudi adults from all regions of Saudi Arabia using a reliable questionnaire. A structural equation model (SEM) was used for mediation analysis.The results revealed a moderate level of PF among Saudi adults. Younger patients experienced more PF. Fear of COVID-19 had a non-significant (p=0.127) effect on PF. SEM analysis revealed that both resilience and electronic health literacy significantly (p=0.000) mediated the relationship between PF and adherence to preventive measures, and acted as protective factors. In conclusion, there is evidence that PF exists and negatively affects adherence to preventive measures.Policymakers should apply evidence-based programs to increase public resilience, particularly targeting young adults, as the results of the current study shed light on its protective mediating role against PF. Increasing electronic health literacy is an effective strategy for preventing PF through an increase in the perceived effectiveness of preventive measures.

Tuberculosis remains to be a major public health problem. Lifestyle factors that have indirectly influence to the burden of tuberculosis. The aim of this study is to determine the lifestyle risk factors associated with tuberculosis patients in Asir region of KSA.We conducted a case-control study at the military hospital of Asir region of KSA. A total of 135 sample which is divided into 67 cases and 67 controls. Cases were included from hospital database between 2017 and 2018. Control were selected from patient attending the same hospital with respiratory disease other than tuberculosis. Data collection done through interview using a structured questionnaire. Lifestyle factors and socio-demographic factors associated with tuberculosis were analyzed using logistic regression.Mean age of study participants (cases and control) are 38.04 ± 9.66 and 40.16 ± 7.72 respectively. Most important factors associated with tuberculosis patients are overweight and obese [OR = 4.40, 95% CI 1.27-15.25 and 2.38 (1.61-9.22)], Smoker [OR = 1.34, 95% CI 0.52-3.43], abnormal sleep at night (<8 hours) [OR = 5.03, 95% CI 1.57-16.10], blue color job worker [OR = 2.69, 95% CI 1.02-7.28], physical exercise <3 days/week [OR = 1.41, 95% CI 1.21-3.47].In Saudi Arabia, a person's lifestyle and socioeconomic condition are associated with tuberculosis. Interventions focused on improving the quality of life through a reduction of risky lifestyle which prevent the spread of Tuberculosis in Saudi society and improve the efficiency of Saudi national tuberculosis control programme.

Between 19 April and 23 June 2015, 52 laboratory-confirmed cases of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome due to coronavirus (MERS) were reported from Al-Ahssa region, eastern Saudi Arabia. The first seven cases occurred in one family; these were followed by 45 cases in three public hospitals. The objectives of this investigation were to describe the epidemiological characteristic of the cluster and identify potential risk factors and control measures to be instituted to prevent further occurrence of MERS. We obtained the medical records of all confirmed cases, interviewed the members of the affected household and reviewed the actions taken by the health authorities. All the cases were connected. The index case was a 62-year-old man with a history of close contact with dromedary camels; three of the seven infected family members and 18 people in hospitals died (case-fatality rate, 40.4%). The median incubation period was about 6 days. The cluster of cases appeared to be due to high exposure to MERS, delayed diagnosis, inadequate risk communication and inadequate compliance of hospital health workers and visitors with infection prevention and control measures.فاشية للمتلازمة التنفسية الشرق أوسطية بسبب فيروس كورونا في منطقة الأحساء بالمملكة العربية السعودية، 2015.حسن المهدي البرى، محمد نجيب عبد الله، حسن الأربش، زينب الشايب، سامي عبد الوهاب العي، زكي العبد اللطيف، حسن البخيت، عثان محمد عبد الله، معتز عبد الباقي محمد، هايل العبدلي، محمد شاهد، آنا لينا لوهينيفا، عبد العزيز عبد الله بن سعيد.ما بن 19 أبريل/نيسان و 23 يونيو/حزيران من عام 2015 تم الإباغ عن 52 حالة مؤكدة مختبرياً من المتلازمة التنفسية الرق أوسطية بسبب فروس كورونا من منطقة الأحساء، شرق المملكة العربية السعودية. حدثت الحالات السبعة الأولى في عائلة واحدة، وأعقب ذلك 45 حالة في ثلاثة مستشفيات عامة. وكانت أهداف هذا الاستقصاء وصف الخصائص الوبائية للعنقود وتحديد عوامل الخطر المحتملة وتدابر المكافحة التي يتعن وضعها للوقاية من حدوث مزيد من حالات المتلازمة التنفسية الرق أوسطية بن العاملن. حصلنا عى السجلات الطبية لجميع الحالات المؤكدة، وأجرينا مقابات مع أفراد الأسر المصابة، واستعرضنا الإجراءات التي اتخذتها السلطات الصحية. ووجدنا أن جميع الحالات كانت مرتبطة ببعضها. وكانت الحالة الدالة لرجل يبلغ من العمر 62 عاماً لديه تاريخ تماس وثيق مع جمال وحيدة السنام، توفي ثلاثة من أفراد الأسرة المصابن السبعة و 18 شخصاً في المستشفيات (معدل الوفيات ما بن الحالات، % 40.4 ). وكان متوسط فرة الحضانة حوالي 6 أيام. ويبدو أن عنقود الحالات يرجع إلى التعرض الكبر للفروس، وعدم كفاية الإباغ عن المخاطر، وعدم كفاية امتثال العاملن الصحين في المستشفيات والزوار لتدابر الوقاية من العدوى ومكافحتها.Arabie saoudite : flambée de syndrome respiratoire du Moyen-Orient (MERS) causé par le coronavirus dans la région d’Al-Ahssa en 2015.Entre le 19 avril et le 23 juin 2015, 52 cas confirmés en laboratoire de syndrome respiratoire du Moyen- Orient (MERS) causé par le coronavirus ont été notifiés dans la région d’Al-Ahssa, partie orientale de l’Arabie saoudite. Les sept premiers cas sont survenus dans une seule famille ; ils ont été suivis de 45 cas déclarés dans trois hôpitaux publics. Cette investigation avait pour objectifs de détailler les caractéristiques épidémiologiques de ce groupe de cas et d’identifier les facteurs de risque potentiels ainsi que les mesures de lutte à mettre en place afin d’empêcher la survenue de nouveaux cas de MERS. Nous avons consulté les dossiers médicaux de l’ensemble des cas confirmés, avons interrogé les membres des foyers touchés et passé en revue les interventions entreprises par les autorités sanitaires. Tous les cas étaient reliés entre eux. Le cas indicateur était un homme de 62 ans ayant eu des contacts étroits avec des dromadaires ; trois des sept membres infectés de la famille et 18 patients hospitalisés sont décédés (taux de létalité : 40,4 %). La période d’incubation médiane était d’environ 6 jours. Le groupe de cas était vraisemblablement dû à une forte exposition au MERS, associée à un diagnostic tardif, une communication sur les risques inappropriée et une mauvaise observance des mesures de prévention et de lutte contre les infections par les personnels de santé de l’hôpital et les visiteurs.

Background: Implementation of evidence-based public health (EBPH) is lagging behind in Saudi Arabia and the region. Graduate-level public health curriculum at King Saud University, College of Medicine, Riyadh, is designed to equip students to integrate best available evidence in public health decision making. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to explore the viewpoint of the students on the perceived challenges they faced during training and the possible opportunities to improve their learning experience of EBPH. Methods: Eighteen graduate students participated in 3 focus groups that were audio-recorded, transcribed, and de-identified before analysis. Social construction and constructivism lens using thematic analysis were adopted. Saturation was reached when similar responses were recorded. Results: Two themes (challenges and opportunities) and 9 subthemes emerged. The lack of a national health information system, scarcity of research pertinent to the Saudi community, and deficient communication between the postgraduate programs and the Ministry of Health were the main barriers perceived by participants to affect their EBPH training. However, participants perceived opportunities for change through establishment of partnership and communication channels with the Ministry of Health and the Saudi community. In addition, participants considered building community of practice and using social media as a platform for communication between public health professionals and the community at large as a valid opportunity for professional growth and community service. Conclusion: Although systematic training in EBPH through postgraduate programs is effective in providing the future manpower with the needed skill and knowledge to practice EBPH, organizational and cultural barriers remain toward practicing EBPH. Reaching out to those in leadership positions and communicating with other public health professionals may facilitate spreading the culture of EBPH.

Objectives: We aimed to develop and evaluate the efficacy of a health education program for increasing knowledge, changing attitudes and promoting preventive practices to reduce the incidence of RTIs among Malaysian Hajj pilgrims.Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted among 132 Hajj pilgrims attending Hajj orientation programme organized by a private Hajj companies. Hajj pilgrims were sequentia lly enrolled and assigned to receive smartphone health education application in the intervent ion group (n = 66) and another different smartphone application on general Hajj process in the control group (n = 66). Data were collected from August 2018 to April 2019 at baseline prior to departure and post-intervention, immediately after return from Saudi Arabia using a validated questionnaire.Results: There was no significant difference with respect to socio-demographic characterist ics, KAP of the respondents in the intervention and control group at baseline. However, there was significant improvement in knowledge in the intervention group compared to the control group, based on time (p = 0.005, ἠ2 = 0.075) and group and time interaction (p = 0.031, ἠ2 = 0.046). Likewise, there was significant improvement in attitude based on time (p = 0.035, ἠ2 = 0.044). Similarly, there was significant main effect in practice based on time (p = <0.001, ἠ2 = 0.155) and interaction of group with time (p = 0.042, ἠ2 = 0.041).International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Supplementary Issue: 2019 Page: 30

Recently Natural Language Processing (NLP) constituted an important area of computational linguistics and artificial intelligence, where the virtual and digital world has become an essential aspect of our daily lives. Sentiment analysis and data mining are sub-fields of NLP, which draw the attention of researchers to search and mine various issues on social media. This study explores the public's sentiments and opinions towards the SARS-CoV-2 vaccination doses in Saudi Arabia. It tries to provide insights on the motivations and barriers in taking the first and second vaccine doses and how the public's awareness and attitudes differ in the two doses. The research objects are 6.232 public tweets and comments that have been harvested from official social media platforms (Twitter and YouTube) between December 19, 2020, and December 10, 2021. The sentiment analysis measured polarity using the NLTK VADER analyzer, and the opinions were identified and classified based on the multidimensional scaling method. The results show that in the case of the first vaccine dose of the 2989 opinions enrolled, 61.5% of the public were willing to take the COVID-19 vaccination—the majority trust the vaccine safety and the Ministry of Health measures and decisions. While 21.1% show negative attitudes towards the vaccination, most of them untrust the vaccine and are worried about its syndromes. In the case of the second vaccine dose of the 3,243 opinions enrolled, 63.2% also show positive attitudes toward taking the vaccine. Trusting the vaccine safety and not being prevented from work, travel, and other activities are the primary motivations to receive the vaccine in this phase. While negative sentiments scored 30.3%, the most frequent determinant is the suspicion of the vaccine safety, symptoms, and decision discrepancies. Identifying public sentiments and attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination would provide a better understanding of the reasons behind vaccine rejection or acceptance and would help the health policymakers better develop and implement vaccine awareness strategies and appropriate communication to enhance vaccine taking.

BACKGROUND: Rickets is considered a significant health issue affecting children especially infants and toddlers. Despite the development affordable and accessible of a health care system in Saudi Arabia, Saudi children had a high prevalence of rickets. This study aims to assess knowledge and awareness of mothers about rickets after short interventional program based on the health belief model and social cognitive theory.
 
 METHODS: A Quasi-experimental design pre-posttest type was carried out by using self-administered questionnaire. A sample size of 180 mothers who attended the well-baby clinic in primary health care centers in Riyadh and Medina Region were consented and then enrolled in the study. The questionnaire focused on 7 domains; demographic information and the other 6 domains based on health believe model and social cognitive theory.
 
 RESULTS: The mean scores of knowledge, self-efficacy, and health belief model constructs (susceptibility, severity, benefits) significantly increased. The mean score and the percentages of knowledge and health belief model constructs show changes between pretest and post test result with statistical significant (27.9% in knowledge and self-efficacy, 34.9% in perceived susceptibility, 54.5% in perceived severity, 25.9% in perceived benefits, 11.7% in perceived barriers and 5.4% in cues to action) all were with a p-value of less than 0.05. 
 
 CONCLUSION: Educational intervention based on social cognitive theory and health belief model were effective in improving knowledge, awareness and practice related to preventive behaviors of rickets.

Introduction: Ocular manifestations, such as conjunctivitis, redness, and tearing, were reported in patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Objective: To investigate the level of knowledge, attitude, and practice about the ocular manifestations of COVID-19 and protective eye measures among the general population in the western region of Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted over two months with 800 participants from the general population and a 39-item online structured validated questionnaire using Google Forms. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS program version 20 and a P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results and Discussion: Among the participants (n = 800), 71.9% were females, 50% were highly educated, and 61.8% had moderate incomes. The overall mean total knowledge score was 25.185 ± 3.774, with significant differences regarding age group, gender, and income. Most of the Saudi residents with high monthly incomes, especially females, were knowledgeable regarding the ocular manifestations of COVID-19 (25.0957 ± 3.4311). The average total knowledge, attitude, and practice score was 42.1419 ± 4.833, which was average (medium level), with significant differences regarding age group, gender, and income; a high mean was obtained from the age group >50–60, females, and high-income class. Conclusion: Detailed information about the epidemiology of COVID-19 and an understanding of emerging related health issues, such as ocular manifestations, should be empowered to the public while considering the least knowledgeable groups.

Objectives: Quarantine-related loneliness has impacted university students during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. This study aims to evaluate loneliness among female university students in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia during the pandemic and to investigate its correlation with depression. Methods: A sample of 753 female students was collected during the first COVID-19 summer vacation outbreak through a cross-sectional survey that consisted of two parts: 1) Sociodemographic characteristics and COVID-19 related questions; 2) The eight-item UCLA Loneliness Scale (ULS-8) and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Results: Most participants were between 18 and 22 years old (75.2%) and were studying at humanities college (61.50%). Loneliness and depression were reported among 63.3% and 41.1% of female students, respectively, and the correlation between them was significantly positive (beta = 0.419, p < 0.001). Having a previous history of a psychiatric condition and families with insufficient monthly income were the main associated factors with high levels of loneliness and depression. Conclusion: Female university students experienced loneliness and depression under quarantine during the first COVID-19 summer vacation outbreak. Psychosocial intervention for the vulnerable groups is essential, as are longitudinal studies.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) ranks third globally in smartphone use. Smartphones have made many aspects of life easier. However, the overuse of smartphones is associated with physical and psychosocial problems.The aim of this paper is to estimate the prevalence and associated factors of problematic use of smartphones among adults in the Qassim region of KSA.We enrolled 715 participants using cluster random sampling for this cross-sectional survey. We assessed the problematic use of smartphones using the short version of the Smartphone Addiction Scale.We estimated the prevalence of problematic smartphone use among adults at 64% (453/708). Multivariable logistic regression analysis suggested that students are 3 times more likely to demonstrate problematic use compared with unemployed individuals (P=.03); adults using more than five apps are 2 times more likely to demonstrate problematic use compared to those using a maximum of three apps (P=.007). Protective factors against problematic smartphone use include using apps for academic (odds ratio [OR] 0.66; P=.04) or religious needs (OR 0.55; P=.007) and having a monthly family income of 5001-10,000 SAR (Saudi Riyal; US $1300-$2700; OR 0.46; P=.01) or 10,001-20,000 SAR (US $2700-$5400; OR 0.51; P=.03) compared to the <1501 SAR (US $400) income group.We reported a very high prevalence of problematic use of smartphones in KSA. Considering its negative impact on physical and psychosocial health, public health programs should develop preventive strategies.

Consumption of tobacco is a prevalent public health problem in Saudi Arabia and worldwide. It remains one of the world's leading causes of preventable premature death and a public health concern. We aim to Estimation the prevalence of tobacco smoking among dental practitioners working at the Security Forces Hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.A cross-sectional study was conducted in one of the largest government hospitals in Riyadh using a self-administered questionnaire. The study targeted dental practitioners including; oral and maxillofacial surgeons, orthodontists, periodontists, prosthodontists, endodontists, pediatric dentists, restorative dentists, general dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants, and dental lab technicians. The study data were analyzed using the SPSS statistical software package.Overall, 74 dental practitioners completed the study questionnaire; 54.1% were females. The age of study participants ranged between 24 to 56 years, while their mean age was 33.84 years. The prevalence of current smokers among the respondents in was 25.67%. Of the participants, 9.45% were ex-smokers. Stress relief was the main reason for smoking (52.6%), followed by relaxation (31.6%). Most respondents agreed that dental practitioners should serve as role models (73%), and that health care practitioners should give advice or information about smoking cessation to patients (79.7%). Most participants had insufficient training about tobacco hazards (56.8%).The prevalence of tobacco smoking among dental practitioners included in this study was closer to that in previous studies. Furthermore, study participants lacked sufficient training about tobacco hazards and control.

The Hajj is an annual religious mass gathering event held in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. With millions of participants from across the globe attending the Hajj, the risk of importation, transmission, and global spread of infectious diseases is high. The emergence of antimicrobial resistant (AMR) bacteria is of worldwide concern and the Hajj poses a serious risk to its dissemination. This review aims to synthesize published literature on AMR bacteria acquisition and transmission associated with the Hajj.We searched electronic databases to identify literature published between January 1990 and December 2021. The search strategy included medical subject headings and keyword terms related to AMR bacteria and the Hajj.After screening 2214 search results, 51 studies were included in the analysis. The review found 6455 AMR bacteria transmissions related to the Hajj. Thirty predominantly enteric or respiratory disease-causing AMR bacterial species were reported with isolates identified in cases on five continents. Most were male, aged above 50 years and were diagnosed in Makkah. Most cases were identified through hospital-based research; few cases were detected in community or primary health care settings.This review provides a contemporary account of knowledge related to AMR transmission at the Hajj. It emphasizes the need for the enhancement of surveillance for AMR bacteria globally.

Background: Despite improvements in anesthesia practice, there is still a lack of public awareness of the field, the range of an anesthesiologist's duties, and the crucial role they play in the healthcare delivery system. Thus, this study aimed to assess Saudi citizens' perceptions of anesthesiologists' training, expertise, role, and responsibilities, as well as their knowledge and concerns about anesthesia. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted between December 2022 and April 2023, with a 42-question survey administered to 406 adult Saudi citizens of both genders residing in Saudi Arabia, excluding healthcare students and employees. Results: Most participants were female (82.8%), aged over 40 (67.6%), held a bachelor's degree (74.6%), and reported very good health (38.7%). A majority (67.2%) had at least undergone one or more surgeries. Knowledge scores averaged 8.14 ± 2.35/14, distributed as 20% poor, 67.7% moderate, and 12.3% good. Perception scores averaged 3.25 ± 1.59/7, with 55.2% poor, 38.2% moderate, and 6.7% good. A significant positive correlation between perception and knowledge scores was found. Higher perception scores were associated with having a chronic medical condition, while higher knowledge scores were associated with being female and having undergone more surgeries. Anesthesiologists were recognized as specially trained doctors by 79.8% of participants, and 63.8% trusted physicians for care. However, 22.4% refused care. Notably, the most common anesthesia concern was fear of dying during anesthesia (very concerned: 26.6%). Conclusion: This study reveals knowledge gaps and misconceptions about an anesthesiologist's role and responsibilities, highlighting the need for public education to address concerns, improve patient satisfaction, and inform future research.

The religious pilgrimage of Hajj is one of the largest annual gatherings in the world. Every year approximately three million pilgrims travel from all over the world to perform Hajj in Mecca in Saudi Arabia. The high population density of pilgrims in confined settings throughout the Hajj rituals can facilitate infectious disease transmission among the pilgrims and their contacts. Infected pilgrims may enter Mecca without being detected and potentially transmit the disease to other pilgrims. Upon returning home, infected international pilgrims may introduce the disease into their home countries, causing a further spread of the disease. Computational modeling and simulation of social mixing and disease transmission between pilgrims can enhance the prevention of potential epidemics. Computational epidemic models can help public health authorities predict the risk of disease outbreaks and implement necessary intervention measures before or during the Hajj season. In this study, we proposed a conceptual agent-based simulation framework that integrates agent-based modeling to simulate disease transmission during the Hajj season from the arrival of the international pilgrims to their departure. The epidemic forecasting system provides a simulation of the phases and rituals of Hajj following their actual sequence to capture and assess the impact of each stage in the Hajj on the disease dynamics. The proposed framework can also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the different public health interventions that can be implemented during the Hajj, including size restriction and screening at entry points.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), viral diseases continue to emerge and cause a serious issue to public health. In the last twenty years, several viral epidemics such as H1N1 influenza in 2009, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) in 2002 to 2003, and, have been recorded. Most recently, the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) was first identified in Saudi Arabia in 2012 and now COVID19. Initially, the new one was called 2019-nCoV.Later, the group of experts of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) termed it the SARS-CoV-2 virus as it is similar to the one that caused the SARS outbreak (SARS-CoVs). Coronavirus is one of the main pathogens that target the human respiratory system. Past outbreaks of coronaviruses (CoVs) comprises the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS)-CoV and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV which have been reported as agents that are a great public health threat. A group of patients was admitted to hospitals with an initial diagnosis of pneumonia of an unknown aetiology, In late December 2019. A questionnaire was designed online in Google docs which consisted of 15 questions. The study population included was dental students. Later statistics were analysed and studied.

Dental caries is a significant dental public health issue and it is the world's most common oral health condition among children. In the Kingdom, the prevalence and severity of early childhood caries has been rising.The aim of the study is to establish the prevalence of early childhood caries among children aged 3-5 years in Jeddah as well as the associated risk factor of visiting a dentist.The research is based on a cross-sectional observational design. Children from both private and public schools were randomly selected from schools in all of Jeddah's regions until a sufficient sample size was attained. For the diagnosis of early childhood caries, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry criteria were used.In Jeddah, the prevalence of early childhood caries is 57% among children aged 3-5 years.Caries in young children is a public health issue. There should be an increased emphasis to the parents that the child should visit the dentist by 12 months of age as recommended by many professional organizations. Regular dental appointments would then help to lessen the caries burden on children at an early age. The Four A's treatment regimen is recommended to aid in the prevention and early detection of early childhood caries.Vanka S, Vanka A, Wali O, et al.

Background Role playing has been increasingly utilized as a teaching strategy in the health discipline. However, the utilization of role playing within the field of health policy and systems research, while imperative, remains limited. Thus, this study documented and described a role playing activity and explored students’ experiences within the context of evidence-based health policy. Method The role playing activity was conducted as part of a course assessment – evidence-based health policy brief at a university in Saudi Arabia. Six graduate level students who were enrolled in the course participated in the activity. Through a mixed method approach, the study collected data from different sources including assessment forms, surveys, written reflections, and observational notes, to explore students experiences with the role playing activity. Data analysis included descriptive statistics for quantitative data and content analysis for qualitative data. Results Students reported an overall positive experience with the role playing activity. The activity provided them with an experience mimicking real scenarios, while playing roles of policy advocates and policymakers. Additionally, the activity contributed to students’ knowledge acquisition and expansion as well as skills development relevant to policymaking. Conclusion The study’s findings contribute to the current literature on the utilization of simulation within the health discipline, with valuable contribution to the field of health policy and systems research. Implications of the study require attention from respective policymakers, practitioners, and academicians.

The presence of toxic chemicals in the environment has drawn increasing concern in Saudi Arabia in recent years. Public health officials recognize direct link between health problems and exposure to these chemicals. To communicate information on chemical pollution health risks effectively, policy makers must know population source of information and the confidence level in this information. This study investigated the Saudis ratings of different sources of information about health risks posed by chemicals pollution, confidence in these information sources, responsibility for public health risk protection and fulfillment. A written questionnaire designed and developed as descriptive survey, which was distributed to random sample of 850 individuals in Al-Baha region. The overall response rate was 68%. Data analyses were conducted using SPSS. Participants described receiving a lot of information from television and radio (38%) followed by the internet (35%), and friends and relatives (31%) with females rating these three sources higher than men. National and state environmental groups (2%), local community groups (3%) and private industry (4%) were the least rated sources. Respondents most frequently had a lot of confidence in medical doctors (39%) followed by television and radio (31%), and friends and relatives (15%). Responsibility for protecting the public from health risks was found to rest mainly on municipality health departments and province levels of government. It has been obvious that private industry and individual citizens had low responsibility for health risks. Greater than 70% of respondents felt that the fulfillment of responsibility was not adequate for all groups. This indicates that there is defect in health risks communication and no substantial satisfaction with health risks management. Key words: Information sources, health risk, confidence in source of information, responsibility for health protection.

Background: The authorities of the world had to take extraordinary containment measures due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic spreading across the globe. The only way to stay active during the pandemic was at-home physical activity (PA). The current study evaluates how these preventative measures impacted the PA and well-being of students. Methods: This study is multicentral and was conducted in Malaysia, India, Cambodia, and Saudi Arabia; participants were recruited from four different regions to answer the online questionnaire provided via a link shared using their personal WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Twitter social media. Results: The means of vigorous, moderate, and light PA (min/day) between the active and inactive groups were significantly different (p = 0.001, 0.007, and 0.001), respectively. In comparison with pre-COVID-19, the participants reported that it became more challenging to engage in regular exercise since the onset of social distance, associated with a lack of motivation followed by “less confidence”, “less enjoyment”, “less support, and fewer opportunities to engage in exercise”; moreover, it was “difficult to maintain close relationships” and “hard to voice their options on contentious matters” (p = 0.001). Public health measures affected the PA and well-being of active and inactive students; this demonstrates that health promotion strategies aimed at enhancing levels of PA in inactive students may be necessary to improve students’ well-being.

Background Many studies have been conducted worldwide and in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) during the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic to assess the factors affecting COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. However, only some of these studies have adopted the Health Belief Model (HBM). This study aimed to assess the demographic characteristics and socio-psychological variables affecting the willingness to receive the COVID-19 vaccine among the general adult population in the KSA using the basic elements of the HBM. Methods A cross-sectional survey-based study was conducted. A Google Form questionnaire comprising 30 questions was distributed electronically using social media platforms. A univariate analysis using chi-square testing identified candidate variables for the multivariate logistic regression at a p-value of <.05 at 95% confidence interval (CI) set as a cut-off point. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association between multiple predictor variables and the dichotomized COVID-19 vaccine acceptance variable. Results A total of 1939 individuals participated in the current study. More than 73% were willing to take the vaccine, while the rest were either not willing (14.6%) or not sure (12.1%). The results showed that men were 1.29 times more likely to receive the COVID-19 vaccine than women (odds ratio, or OR = 1.29, 95% CI = 1.01-1.64, p = .04); those who were or had been a healthcare worker (HCW) were 1.43 times more likely to receive the COVID-19 vaccine compared with those who had never been a HCW (OR = 1.43, 95% CI = 1.10-1.87, p = .01). We found that perceiving the risk of contracting COVID-19 (OR = 2.86, 95% CI = 1.47-5.55, p = .00) and perceiving the severity of the disease (OR = 2.07, 95% CI = 1.08-3.96, p = .03) were positively associated with the willingness to receive the vaccine. Perceived barriers such as ineffectiveness of the vaccine (OR = 0.28, 95% CI = 0.18-0.44, p < .001), or believing the vaccine is just a media advertisement (OR = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.35-0.87, p = .01) were negative predictors of acceptance of the vaccine. Moreover, perceiving the benefits, such as life going back to normal (OR = 2.28, 95% CI = 1.37-3.77, p = .00) and recognizing the importance of the annual flu vaccine (OR = 3.43, 95% CI = 2.29-5.14, p < .001), were found to be positive predictors of acceptance of the vaccine. Finally, we also found that cues to action were positively associated with vaccine acceptance, that is, participants who were encouraged by their doctors (OR = 1.75, 95% CI = 1.17-2.60, p = .01), and family members or friends (OR = 2.89, 95% CI = 1.94-4.32, p < .001) were more willing to receive the COVID-19 vaccine than those who were not. Conclusions The current study provides valuable insights into the determinants of vaccine acceptance and hesitancy based on the HBM from a cognitive perspective. This could be useful in helping the government establish public health programs aimed at addressing barriers and false beliefs among the adult population, which could enhance the public's willingness to receive COVID-19 vaccines and, ultimately, accelerate achieving herd immunity.

Real-time monitoring and responses to emerging public health threats rely on the availability of timely surveillance data. During the early stages of an epidemic, the ready availability of line lists with detailed tabular information about laboratory-confirmed cases can assist epidemiologists in making reliable inferences and forecasts. Such inferences are crucial to understand the epidemiology of a specific disease early enough to stop or control the outbreak. However, construction of such line lists requires considerable human supervision and therefore, difficult to generate in real-time. In this paper, we motivate Guided Deep List, the first tool for building automated line lists (in near real-time) from open source reports of emerging disease outbreaks. Specifically, we focus on deriving epidemiological characteristics of an emerging disease and the affected population from reports of illness. Guided Deep List uses distributed vector representations (ala word2vec) to discover a set of indicators for each line list feature. This discovery of indicators is followed by the use of dependency parsing based techniques for final extraction in tabular form. We evaluate the performance of Guided Deep List against a human annotated line list provided by HealthMap corresponding to MERS outbreaks in Saudi Arabia. We demonstrate that Guided Deep List extracts line list features with increased accuracy compared to a baseline method. We further show how these automatically extracted line list features can be used for making epidemiological inferences, such as inferring demographics and symptoms-to-hospitalization period of affected individuals.

Development of systematic reviews, supported by artificial intelligence and crowdsourcing, could support the rapid analysis of evidence-based measures to help communicate the need for control measures to mitigate COVID-19.5Piechotta V Chai KL Valk SJ et al.Convalescent plasma or hyperimmune immunoglobulin for people with COVID-19: a living systematic review.Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2020; 7CD013600PubMed Google Scholar The COVID-19 pandemic has encouraged a new phase of real-time, peer-to-peer sharing. Data concerning diseases and outbreaks are communicated through multiple channels, providing a view of global health that is fundamentally different from that provided by traditional public health organisations. Use of online information is becoming a dominant method for the surveillance of emerging public health threats. For example, a widely used information source on the numbers of global COVID-19 cases and deaths is an interdisciplinary collaboration between several groups at Johns Hopkins University (The Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center).6Dong E Du H Gardner L An interactive web-based dashboard to track COVID-19 in real time.Lancet Infect Dis. 2020; 20: 533-534Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (6085) Google Scholar Similarly, HealthMap concatenates information from disparate data sources, including online news aggregators, eyewitness reports, expert-curated discussions, and validated official reports, to achieve a unified and comprehensive view of current infectious diseases.7Brownstein JS Freifeld CC Madoff LC Digital disease detection—harnessing the Web for public health surveillance.N Engl J Med. 2009; 360: 2153-2157Crossref PubMed Scopus (512) Google Scholar Global communication for future pandemics requires a novel framework. Although formal international agreements and agencies play an important part in communicating information, non-governmental groups might be able to perform a critical function in the global response to emerging diseases, and we encourage expanded use of consortia to take advantage of the strength of diverse electronic information sources and innovative means to compile and communicate information. Poor health media literacy is common, and likewise a paucity of scientific knowledge has undermined responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have witnessed the amplification of unverified information, which has triggered misunderstandings, reactions of fear, and a loss of trust, which can inhibit effective responses to the pandemic. In preparation for the possible resurgence of COVID-19 or the occurrence of new infectious diseases, proactive public health investment in mechanisms for compiling, verifying, and communicating information is of paramount importance to ensuring public health. Emphasis should be placed on understanding specific factors, such as how the interplay between infectious agents and humans facilitates transmission through travelling and social activities in confined environments. During periods of uncertainty, strategies for communicating evolving information need to be developed and assessed. New curricula in systems medicine and effective communication strategies that examine the factors affecting preventive behaviour should be developed and used to train health-care professionals, researchers, teachers, media professionals, and decision makers with active involvement in communicating with the general public. We declare no competing interests. We thank the G20 Riyadh Global Digital Health Summit hosted in Saudi Arabia to leverage the role of digital health in the fight against current and future pandemics. Applications 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.

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 AccessDigital public health and COVID-19Digital 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 1854.1 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.

Substance abuse (alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs) is a major public health problem. In our country, substance abuse has been estimated to be responsible for 590,000 deaths and 40 million injuries and illnesses annually (McGinnis & Foege, 1999). The total economic costs of substance abuse have been estimated to be close to $428 billion (Rice, 1999). It has been estimated that approximately one fourth of Americans over the ages of 15 have physiological dependence on at least one substance with the trends pointing at mixed progress in our battle against this complex menace (United States Department of Health and Human Services, 2000). Present data suggest no particular racial predilection for initiation or prevalence of substance abuse. However, there are glaring deficiencies with regard to data from the minority groups. One such minority group commonly classified in the United States is the group of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI). This is by far the most diverse group and classifying this group as a single entity causes serious problems. For example, the health needs of an American citizen with national origin from Saudi Arabia are entirely different than the health needs of an American citizen from Mongolia. This problem is further compounded by the fact that this group is a rapidly growing minority group in our country with over a 100 percent increase noted between the last two Censuses. Despite these serious gaps in the quality and quantity of data magnified by misclassification, it has been found that Asian Americans bear a disproportionate burden of substance abuse, which is particularly marked among their children/youth. For example, the National Youth Tobacco Survey 2000 data demonstrated that in the last year of high school, one third of Asian American youth were smokers which is much greater compared to other ethnic groups (Appleyard, Messeri, & Haviland 2001). Recent published reviews of the tobacco industry have also revealed evidence of aggressive marketing efforts directed toward Asian Americans since the 1980's (Muggli, Pollay, Lew, & Joseph, 2002). There are several reasons for this aggressive marketing such as, rapid population growth within this community, higher purchasing power of subsection of Asian Americans, higher prevalence of tobacco use in countries of origin, higher proportion of retail businesses under Asian American ownerships, and mal-adaptation of Asian Americans in the mainstream due to cultural differences. When the vested interests can target this community for profit, why not public health practitioners and researchers for the benefit of this neglected community? Clearly, more epidemiological research is needed that visibly demarcates and identifies different distinct subsections of this community and their health needs. Meanwhile education researchers working in the area of alcohol and drug education need to design theoretically robust interventions for this community toward both prevention and cessation of substance abuse. These interventions need to be tailored specifically for members of this community and must keep in mind their unique cultures. A myriad of educational interventions aimed at preventing the initiation of substance abuse are available such as teaching problem solving skills and affect management, developing refusal skills, developing media interpretation skills, restoring one's sense of purpose and meaning, training in relaxation, and meditation methods. …

Objectives: To assess knowledge, practices and quality of life of adolescent Saudi girls regarding menstruation and menstrual self-hygienic care. To find the relation between knowledge, practices and selected variables of quality of life of adolescent Saudi girls regarding menstruation and menstrual self-hygienic care. To evaluate the outcome and impact of health education program on knowledge and practices of adolescent Saudi girls regarding menstruation and menstrual self-hygienic care. Methods: An experimental study was conducted using pre-posttest design on a (39) Saudi adolescent girl students at the seventh secondary school, Al-Khobar City in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Two tools used; first tool is structured questionnaire sheet, which was developed by the researcher and revised by three experts in the specialty. This tool used to assess the Saudi adolescent girl students' knowledge and practices regarding menstruation. The second tool was a quality of life scale which developed by World Health Organization. It included questions about quality of life, general daily activities; number of times suffering from pain and negative feelings and ability to study. After that the pretest was done. Data collected and analyzed. Accordingly, the researcher prepared the contents of the health educational program based on the adolescent Saudi girls’ level of knowledge and practices. Then the researcher prepared the contents, and then divided and implemented in two consecutive sessions. Immediately after implementing the program sessions, the same questionnaire sheets filled up individually by the participants as an immediate post-test. A comparison between the pre- and post-tests done to identify the effect of planned health educational program on menstrual knowledge and practices among adolescent Saudi girls using the appropriate statistical tests, (SPSS) version 23. Results: The results of the current study demonstrated statistical significant improvements regarding quality of life as (79.2% compared to 86.7%), level of menstrual knowledge scores as (47.36% compared to 94.73%), and self-hygienic care practices score as (94.9% compared to 28.2%), p<0.00. Conclusion: The present study concluded that statistically significant improvements observed regarding the Saudi adolescent girl’s menstrual knowledge, self-hygienic care practices and quality of life after receiving the well prepared, planned and implementation of menstrual health education program.

Antibiotic resistance is a worldwide public health emergency. Nonprescription antibiotic use is a chief cause of antibiotic resistance. The Saudi Government, as a consequence, imposed in 2018 executive regulations to prevent the distribution of antibiotics without a prescription. Herein, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of and risk factors for nonprescription antibiotic use among individuals presenting to one hospital in Saudi Arabia after enacting these regulations. This cross-sectional study was conducted on people, aged ≥18 years, who presented to the primary healthcare clinics of King Khalid University Hospital in Riyadh during the period between 1/1/2019 and 28/2/2019. Participants were asked to fill out a self-administrated questionnaire assessing their nonprescription antibiotic use during the past year in addition to sociodemographic information. Then, logistic regression analyses were performed to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for age, sex, education, and nationality of any nonprescription antibiotic use compared with no use within the past year. Out of 463 participants, 62.9% were females, 67.4% were <40 years, and 93.7% were Saudi citizens. Overall, 30.5% of participants reported nonprescription antibiotic use during the past year (19.7% one to two times and 10.8% more than two times). Male and non-Saudi participants were more likely to report any nonprescription antibiotic use, with HRs (95% CIs) of 1.99 (1.30, 3.04) and 3.81 (1.73, 8.35), respectively. The main reasons behind nonprescription antibiotic use were having previous experience with a health condition (69.2%), inaccessibility of healthcare (26.6%), and recommendation from a relative or a friend (16.1%). A major limitation of this study was that it included individuals attending one hospital. Individuals who seek medical consultation could be dissimilar to those who do not see doctors regarding nonprescription antibiotic use.

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are one of the critical yet preventable non-communicable diseases. Based on the World Health Organization (WHO) reports on non-communicable conditions in 2010, millions of people were killed by non-communicable diseases in 2008, resulting in deaths that occurred before the age of 60 (1). Our aim in this study is to provide descriptive epidemiology and to estimate the public’s knowledge towards CVD types, risk factors, and warning symptoms of heart attack or stroke. Methodology: The study was approved by Ibn Sina National College of Medical Sciences research committee in November of 2019.This is a cross-sectional analytic study conducted among the Saudi community in Jeddah City, Saudi Arabia from November 2019 to April 2020. A total of 635 respondents contributed to fill the self-administered questionnaire. Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 20 was used. The degree of association was tested using Chi-square. A statistically significant association was taken at P<0.05. Results: Participants who agreed to participate consisted of 228(35.9%) males and 407(64.1%) females. Hypertension is the highest disease diagnosed with a total of 111(17.5%) and highest among females with 71(64.0%). Most of the participants identified chest pain and discomfort (76.4%) and shortness of breath (73.7%) as symptoms of heart attack. Compared with other symptoms such as pain or discomfort in the arm or shoulder (57.3%), weakness in the arm or leg on one side of the body (55.6%), and weakness lightheaded and fainting (51.2%). Conclusion: The study participants show low knowledge in CVS. There is a need to increase public awareness and to establish basic knowledge to the general and targeted individuals.

Smoking among university students is a social and public health problem worldwide. There is a high prevalence of smoking in Saudi Arabia.To investigate the factors associated with the onset and cessation of smoking behaviour among university students in Saudi Arabia, and establish what contributes to changes of students' smoking behaviour.A sample of 340 students from a national university in Saudi Arabia was randomly recruited and surveyed twice at a 5-month interval. Multiple ordinal logistic regression was run to compare changes in social, psychological and political factors and their impact on students' smoking behaviour.We found that beliefs supporting nonsmoking (e.g., religious prohibition of smoking) correlated with changes in smoking behaviour among university students [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 1.89, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.23- 2.91]. There was a significant positive correlation between government policy and changes in male university students' smoking behaviour (AOR = 0.46, 95% CI = 0.29-0.072). The psychological effect of smoking, such as releasing psychological pressures, was also correlated with changes in smoking behaviour (AOR = 0.31, 95% CI = 0.21-0.47).Our study suggests that the government can play a significant role in curbing smoking by strengthening beliefs promoting antismoking among university students, by developing corresponding policies against smoking, and by providing psychological consultation for them.سلوك التدخين بين طلاب الجامعات الذكور في المملكة العربية السعودية.جوبنج جيانج، شافي الدامر، أحمد بن دانية.يمثل التدخين مشكلة اجتماعية وصحية بين الطلاب الجامعيين. هناك معدلات انتشار عالية للتدخين في المملكة العربية السعودية.هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى التعرف على عوامل بداية ممارسة التدخين والإقلاع عنه بين الطلاب الجامعيين في المملكة العربية السعودية، وكذلك ما يساهم في تغيير أنماط التدخين بين الطلاب.تم اختيار عينة عشوائية تتكون من 340 طالباً من جامعة حكومية في المملكة العربية السعودية. استجاب أفراد المجموعة مرتين لنفس لاستبانة تفصل بينهما مدة خمسة أشهر. تم استخدام أسلوب الانحدار اللوجستي المرتب لمقارنة التغيرات في العوامل الاجتماعية والنفسية والسياسية خلال فترة الدراسة لمعرفة تأثيراتها على سلوكيات تدخين الطلاب.بينت النتائج أن الإيمان بعدم التدخين (المتمثل في الاعتقاد بأن التدخين غير مقبول، أو أنه على سبيل المثال محرم دينياً) يرتبط بتغيرات سلوك التدخين لدى طلبة الجامعة السعوديين (AOR=89.1 ،%95 CI = 23.1 - 91.2) ؛ كما تبين وجود علاقة ارتباطية موجبة ذات دلالة إحصائية بين السياسات الحكومية حول التدخين والتغيرات في سلوك التدخين لدى طلاب الجامعات السعوديين (AOR = 46.0 ، %95 CI = 29.0 - 72.0) ؛ كما تبين أن الوظيفة النفسية للتدخين تترتبط بتغيرات سلوكيات التدخين بين الطلاب السعوديين بالجامعة (AOR = 31.0 ، %95 CI = 21.0 - 47.0).يستخلص من الدراسة أنه يمكن للحكومة أن تلعب دوراً كبيراً في الحد من التدخين من خلال تقوية قناعاتهم في عدم التدخين، وتطوير سياسات مكافحة التدخين، وتقديم الاستشارات النفسية للشباب.Comportements tabagiques chez des étudiants de sexe masculin dans une université en Arabie saoudite.Le tabagisme chez les étudiants à l’université constitue un problème social et de santé publique partout dans le monde. La prévalence du tabagisme est élevée en Arabie saoudite.La présente étude avait pour objectif d’étudier les facteurs associés à la mise en route ou l’arrêt du tabagisme parmi les étudiants à l’université en Arabie saoudite, ainsi que de déterminer ce qui contribue à modifier leurs comportements tabagiques.Un échantillon de 340 étudiants issus d’une université nationale en Arabie saoudite a été sélectionné au hasard et étudié à deux reprises à cinq mois d’intervalle. Une régression logistique ordinale multiple a été menée afin de comparer les changements en termes de facteurs sociaux, psychologiques et politiques, ainsi que leur impact sur les comportements tabagiques des étudiants.Nous avons constaté une corrélation entre les croyances antitabac (telles que l’interdiction religieuse de fumer) et les changements des comportements tabagiques chez les étudiants à l’université (odds ratio ajusté = 1,89, intervalle de confiance [IC] à 95 % = 1,23-2,91). Il existait une corrélation positive significative entre les politiques gouvernementales et les changements de comportements tabagiques chez les étudiants de sexe masculin à l’université (odds ratio ajusté = 0,46, IC à 95 % = 0,29-0,072). L’effet psychologique du tabagisme, tel que soulager la pression psychologique, était également corrélé aux changements de comportements tabagiques (odds ratio ajusté = 0,31, IC à 95 % = 0,21-0,47).Cette étude suggère que le rôle du gouvernement pour infléchir le tabagisme peut être significatif s’il permet de renforcer les croyances de promotion antitabac parmi les étudiants à l’université, de mettre au point des politiques de lutte antitabac correspondantes et de mettre à leur disposition un système de consultations psychologiques.

Younger generations are an important market for the tobacco products industry since most smokers try their first cigarette before the age of 18. Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are a common mode of smoking among teens, and the number of users is increasing exponentially.This study aimed to estimate the current prevalence of e-cigarettes and vaping usage among adolescents between the ages of 15 and 19 in the city of Mecca, Saudi Arabia.This study was conducted among 534 students at four high schools. They were asked to complete a 23-item questionnaire retrieved from the Global Youth Tobacco Survey. Descriptive statistics and regression analysis were conducted. The study was approved by the Ministry of Health Saudi Arabia Medical Research Center Institutional Review Board committee on October 10, 2018 (research number 18-506E).A total of 109 (20.6%) of the participants reported being smokers of e-cigarettes. Being a male (OR = 1.55; 95% CI: [1.01-2.37]), in the second year of high school (OR = 2.91; 95% CI: [1.61-5.24], ever experimenting with regular tobacco cigarettes, being a current shisha smoker, living with a smoker, and believing that e-cigarettes are less addictive than traditional cigarettes are all factors independently associated with e-cigarette use in this sample of adolescents.Among adolescent smokers, even minimal experience with smoking is correlated with pro-smoking attitudes. E-cigarette use is common in adolescents and related to the use of other combustible tobacco products. Tobacco control efforts at all levels should eliminate factors fostering future tobacco use to minimize the burden of disease and disability in vulnerable populations.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease, which is a significant global public health concern. The use of directly observed therapy of short course (DOTS) is the strategy recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) to cure TB. In this paper, the effectiveness of the DOTS is assessed using data collected in 2014 from the Gazan Province, Saudi Arabia (SA). The assessment is impacted by migration from high prevalence countries into SA. The association between immigration and TB is not well documented and studied in the literature. We will address this problem and identify other factors influencing the success of DOTS. Descriptive methods are used in this study. The logistic regression model is used to identify significant factors of success or non-success of the DOTS. The data has missing observations. Multiple imputations were carried out to fill in missing outcomes and completed data sets are analyzed further. The results show that none of the predictors have a significant role in treatment outcome. The cure rate for the study population is 90.3% after excluding defaulters and deportees. If we include 29 defaulters and 68 deportees assuming treatment failed for these cases, the cure rate is 67%, which is far below the WHO goal of 85%. After multiple imputations, the cure rate is 91.7%. Increasing number of migrants into low prevalence countries may affect TB epidemiology. In view of the huge gap, 67 versus 91.7% in the cure rates, we firmly recommend that health and immigration authorities in SA work together to see that TB treatment is completed before deportation.

Background: Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency is the most common enzymopathy where patients remain asymptomatic unless exposed to triggering factors. This study aims to assess knowledge levels and awareness among patients with G6PD deficiency. Methods: A cross-sectional research was performed in Saudi Arabia among individuals affected with G6PD deficiency. The survey includes participants&apos; demographics, clinical data including comorbidities, hospitalization frequency, blood transfusion, and awareness regarding G6PD deficiency. Results: A total of 199 participants completed the study questionnaire. Out of 199 participants, 107 (53.8%) were diagnosed with G6PD at 20 years or above. Of the total number, 94 (47.2%) participants knew that patients with G6PD have no symptoms unless exposed to triggering factors. However, around half (45.2%) of the participants are not used to informing healthcare providers about G6PD deficiency during routine clinical visits or medical interventions. Additionally, only 14 (7%) participants knew that applying henna could trigger hemolysis. Generally, only 38 (19.1%) participants had good knowledge. However, the knowledge level was better among participants above the age of 50, those with chronic illness, and those with previous hospitalization or blood transfusion because of G6PD. Conclusion: Patients&apos; knowledge regarding G6PD was poor in our study. Public health measures, including large-scale health education programs, are highly needed to improve awareness regarding the condition. Furthermore, a neonatal screening program is crucial for early detection, prevention of crisis, and cost-effectiveness.

Health educators in schools are a very important part of the education system. Considering the significant prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, it is important to investigate the knowledge of and attitude towards vitamin D among health educators. This study aims to examine the knowledge of and attitude towards vitamin D among health educators in public schools in Jeddah as well as to identify the associated sociodemographic factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted between May and December 2021 among 231 health educators. Data were collected via a self-administered online questionnaire. The results revealed that only 45% of health educators had good knowledge of vitamin D, and approximately 43% had a positive attitude towards vitamin D. Additionally, those who had good knowledge of vitamin D were males (58.7%) (p = 0.005) and had a bachelor’s degree (74%) (p = 0.01). Moreover, male health educators aged 45–54 years had a positive attitude towards vitamin D (3.8 ± 0.7) (p = 0.007). In addition, female health educators who were divorced (3.8 ± 0.7) and widowed (3.6 ± 0.5) (p = 0.04) and those who were administrators (3.3 ± 0.7) (p = 0.01) had a positive attitude towards vitamin D. The Ministry of Education (MOE) in the Kingdom must educate health educators through educational programmes that aim to increase the knowledge of and develop a positive attitude towards vitamin D intake.

Background: Clubfoot is a childhood congenital abnormality that can lead to disabilities, which can last a lifetime if untreated. There are several types of interventions to treat this condition. However, these interventions depend on the age of presentation and result in good outcomes if started early. This study aimed to investigate the level of public awareness about clubfoot in the Al-Qassim region in Saudi Arabia. Method: This observational cross-sectional study was conducted on a population living in the Al-Qassim region in 2020. The study was conducted using a structured, validated questionnaire that was available online. The chi-square test and t-test were used to analyze the data. All the analyses were conducted using SPSS (version 21). Results: This study included 7085 individuals from the Al-Qassim region. The level of public awareness was as follows 15.6% had poor knowledge, 43.8% had fair knowledge, and 40.6% had high knowledge. The most common sources of knowledge were relatives and friends (42.55%) and websites (29.83%). A multivariate analysis showed that several factors affected the levels of knowledge, including gender (P˂0.0001), having an affected child (P˂0.0003), certain sources of information, affected persons (P˂0.005), relatives and friends (P˂0.0001), websites (P˂0.0001), and printed media (P˂0.0001). Conclusion: A moderate level of knowledge was found among the population in the Al-Qassim region. Their knowledge level was affected by several factors, such as the source of information. Therefore, educational interventions, such as campaigns, are needed to improve the awareness level, leading to better outcomes.

Background: There is an increasing demand for services from the emergency department (EDs), which has limited resources. The triage process is the key determining step for prioritization in EDs, especially during pandemics. This study aimed to assess public awareness of the triage process in EDs and the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on awareness levels. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed from August to October 2020. Data were collected using an online survey that was randomly distributed to the public in Saudi Arabia using social media. Results: Of the 1,047 people who received the survey, 687 (66%) completed it. The majority of the respondents (80%) knew why some patients were taken to a room before others, even though they may not have waited as long, and 85.3% thought this was fair. However, only 52% knew exactly what triage meant. Some factors seemed to significantly influence the level of awareness, such as age group [p value = 0.001 and odds ratio (OR) = 0.170], gender (p value = 0.001 and OR = 0.170), employment (p value &lt; 0.001 and OR = 4.904), and region of residency (p value = 0.005 and OR = 2.556). The COVID-19 pandemic did not affect participants&apos; general knowledge about triage (p value = 0.555, OR = 1.122). Conclusion: The majority of the respondents were aware of the triage process in EDs and thought it was fair. However, there is an existing need for more information when visiting EDs, especially after going through the triage process. ED visitors&apos; expectations of more clarification and communication should be addressed by the responsible administrations.

The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) in predicting engagement in COVID-19 preventive behaviours in Saudi Arabia. A non-probability snowball sample (N = 594) of general public took part in the study via social media. Data were collected at two occasions for one week for each occasion between 30 August 2020 and 26 September 2020. Self-report measures of demographic information and the PMT constructs were obtained at the initial occasion. Two weeks later, self-report measures of COVID-19 preventive behaviours were collected. Structural equation modelling was used for data analysis. The results provided support of the relevance and predictive ability of the PMT. The pattern of effects among the constructs was consistent with the PMT. All of the PMT constructs, with the exception of perceived vulnerability, were found to explain preventive behaviours against COVID-19. Self-efficacy was the strongest variable in predicting the preventive behaviours from COVID-19. Based on these results, public health campaigns that are tailored toward the severity of COVID-19 may be more effective in increasing individualsâ motivation for adopting COVID-19 preventive behaviours than those that focus on increasing perceptions of individualsâ vulnerability to COVID-19. Health education interventions should consider strategies to increase an individualâs perceived self-efficacy of protective behaviours against COVID-19 such as providing opportunities to direct experience with behaviour through demonstration, modelling, and positive feedback.

During the 2019 Hajj, the Ministry of Health in Saudi Arabia implemented for the first time a health early warning system for rapid detection and response to health threats.This study aimed to describe the early warning findings at the Hajj to highlight the pattern of health risks and the potential benefits of the disease surveillance system.Using syndromic surveillance and event-based surveillance data, the health early warning system generated automated alarms for public health events, triggered alerts for rapid epidemiological investigations and facilitated the monitoring of health events.During the deployment period (4 July-31 August 2019), a total of 121 automated alarms were generated, of which 2 events (heat-related illnesses and injuries/trauma) were confirmed by the response teams.The surveillance system potentially improved the timeliness and situational awareness for health events, including non-infectious threats. In the context of the current COVID-19 pandemic, a health early warning system could enhance case detection and facilitate monitoring of the disease geographical spread and the effectiveness of control measures.تنفيذ نظام الإنذار الصحي المبكر القائم على ترصّد المتلازمات والأحداث في موسم الحج لعام 2019.كينجسلي لزور بيه، أنس خان، صابر يزلي، أحمد الجنايني، ساري عسيري، بدرية العتيبي، سجود غلاب، أمجد الخولي، عبدي-ناصر أبو بكر، هاني جوخضار.نَفّذت، لأول مرة، وزارة الصحة في المملكة العربية السعودية، خلال موسم الحج لعام 2019، نظامًا للإنذار المبكر للكشف السريع عن الأخطار الصحية والاستجابة لها.هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى وصف نتائج الإنذار المبكر في موسم الحج لتسليط الضوء على نمط المخاطر الصحية والفوائد المحتملة لنظام ترصّد الأمراض.أصدر نظام الإنذار الصحي المبكر، باستخدام بيانات ترصّد المتلازمات والأحداث، إنذارات آلية لأحداث صحية عامة، وأطلق تنبيهات لإجراء استقصاءات وبائية سريعة، ويسّ رصد الأحداث الصحية.خلال فترة النشر (4 يوليو/تموز – 31 أغسطس/آب 2019)، صدر ما مجموعه 121 إنذارًا آليًا، وأكدت فرق الاستجابة حدثين منها (أمراض مرتبطة بالحرارة وإصابات/ورضوح).يُتَمَل أن يحسّن نظام الترصّد التوقيت والوعي بأوضاع الأحداث الصحية، ومن ضمنها التهديدات غير المعدية. وفي سياق جائحة كوفيد 19 – الحالية، يمكن لنظام الإنذار الصحي المبكر أن يعزز اكتشاف الحالات وييسّ رصد الانتشار الجغرافي للأمراض وفعالية تدابير المكافحة.Mise en œuvre du système d'alerte sanitaire précoce basé sur la surveillance syndromique et fondée sur les événements lors du Hadj de l’année 2019.Au cours du Hadj de l’année 2019, le Ministère de la Santé d'Arabie saoudite a mis en place pour la première fois un système d'alerte précoce en matière de santé pour une détection des menaces sanitaires et une riposte rapides face à celles-ci.La présente étude avait pour objectif de présenter les résultats de l'alerte précoce lors du Hadj afin de mettre en évidence le schéma des risques sanitaires et les avantages potentiels du système de surveillance des maladies.À l’aide de la surveillance syndromique et des données de surveillance basée sur les événements, le système d'alerte sanitaire précoce a généré des alarmes automatisées pour les événements de santé publique, a déclenché des alertes en vue d’enquêtes épidémiologiques rapides et a facilité le suivi des événements de santé.Au cours de la période de déploiement (4 juillet-31 août 2019), un total de 121 alarmes automatiques ont été générées, dont deux événements (maladies et blessures/traumatismes liés à la chaleur) ont été confirmés par les équipes d’intervention.Le système de surveillance a potentiellement amélioré la notification en temps voulu des événements de santé et la connaissance des situations concernant ces événements, y compris les menaces non infectieuses. Dans le contexte de la pandémie actuelle de COVID-19, un système d'alerte précoce permettrait d’améliorer la détection des cas et de faciliter le suivi de la propagation géographique de la maladie ainsi que l'efficacité des mesures de lutte.

Introduction: Hajj is an annual mass gathering of over 3.5 million pilgrims congregating from 200 countries in the desert climate of Saudi Arabia. Mass gathering medicine at Hajj is challenged by issues of healthcare accessibility, infection control, on-site treatment, referral, evacuation, and response to disasters and public health emergencies. The Indian Medical Mission at Hajj 2016 established, operated, and coordinated a strategic network of mass gathering medical operations, the proceeds of which are discussed herein. Methods: The mission was designed to provide holistic health security through health intelligence for pre-existing chronic diseases, epidemic intelligence for endemic and exotic diseases, public-health and disaster-health preparedness, and tiered healthcare through mobile medical task forces, static clinics, tent clinics, secondary care hospitals, and evacuation capabilities. Results: Primary care, secondary care, and tertiary care treated 374 475, 930, and 523 patients, respectively. Patients exhibited limited compliance with pre-instituted treatments and precautionary protocols. Respiratory and gastrointestinal infections, cardiorespiratory, trauma, and heat illnesses were seen. Epidemic intelligence revealed an outbreak of food poisoning. Respiratory infections were reported by 90% of the healthcare personnel. Surge capacity was overwhelmed with patient throughput and ambulance transfers. Crude unadjusted mortality was 11.99/10 000. Conclusion: The Indian Medical Mission at Hajj 2016 yielded solutions to the challenges faced during the 2016 Hajj pilgrimage. The mission posture of the Indian Medical Mission in Hajj presents a modus operandi for handling crisis scenarios in mass gathering. The situational analysis of the Hajj health mission calls for dynamic interventions in preparedness, clientele, and health systems.

Hajj pilgrimage is a large mass gathering global event that may facilitate the spread and emergence of various infectious diseases as well as antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in a local and global scenario. Planning and preparing for these public health issues is a challenging and complex process for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) health authorities. Despite multiple efforts for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases through longtime funding in education and medical care, the prevalence of infectious disease is still high among Hajj pilgrims. The commonly observed infectious diseases during Hajj include respiratory tract infections (influenza and pneumonia), urinary tract infections and skin infections that may necessitate the use of antimicrobials. Beta-lactams are used as a first-line treatment for hospital acquired infections as well as community acquired infections due to their broad-spectrum activity. However, most of the bacterial isolates such as Staphylococcus spp., Pseudomonas spp. and E. coli are resistant to beta-lactams. Irrational use of antimicrobials, lack of infection prevention practices and suboptimal healthcare access further exacerbate the risk of spreading AMR among Hajj pilgrims. Enhanced collaboration between countries, sharing of best practices and international cooperation are crucial in addressing AMR threats among pilgrims. Consequently, robust surveillance systems for early detection and monitoring of AMR, collaboration with national as well as international healthcare agencies, effective infection prevention and control measures, public awareness and rational use of antimicrobials via antimicrobial stewardship programs are required to mitigate the risk of AMR and ensure the health and well-being of pilgrims during Hajj.

Abstract Purpose To determine factors associated with postpartum quality of life (QOL). Methods An analytic cross-sectional design was used in this study, and data was collected from December 2019 to March 2020. Participants were 252 postpartum women visiting eight governmental primary healthcare centers in Madinah city, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected using a sociodemographic questionnaire, the World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment-BREF, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Sleep problems were assessed using an item from the Prime-MD Patient Health Questionnaire. Results Maternal age between 26 and 35 years had a significant independent association with the physical health domain of QOL ( p < .01). Postpartum depression was significantly associated with lower QOL in all dimensions ( p < .01). In addition, sleep problems were associated with three out of the four QOL domains ( p < .05). The significant other subscale of the MSPSS was significantly associated with higher QOL scores in all dimensions ( p < .01); additionally, family and friends subscales of the MSPSS were significantly associated with the social domain of QOL ( p < .01). Conclusions Maternal QOL, during the postpartum period, showed negative associations with age, postpartum depression, and sleep disturbances. Ultimately, social support appeared to be an essential factor in mothers’ ability to cope with the physical and psychological problems experienced during this period.

GUENAEL RODIER, MDa Bioterrorism and international epidemics are global public health problems. They are international, not just national, issues. Agents that are potential bioweapons and the fight against these agents need to be put into the frame work of the fight against infectious diseases in general. To put things in perspective, we're not dealing with a threat. We're dealing with a reality: the leading infectious killers. We're dealing with diarrheic dis eases, acute respiratory infections, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and measles. When it comes to diseases that are particularly epidemic prone, it's clear to everyone that epidemics are not new to humankind. They've been around for centuries, certainly, and usually accompany population movements. When it comes to more recent years, I sometimes use the analogy of traffic accidents. They occur everywhere and are not restricted to developing coun tries. The nature of these outbreaks varies between the developing world and the developed world, but epidemics and the threat of infectious diseases occur everywhere. Ebola viral hemorrhagic fever in Uganda, yellow fever in Guinea, foot-and-mouth disease in the UK, Singapore and Malaysia, cholera in South Africa, malaria in Afghanistan, Rift Valley fever in Saudi Arabia and Yemen, and Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever in Pakistan: all of these diseases are still occurring, and these are just the main ones to appear since October 2000. When it comes to the issue of how developed countries can deal with exotic agents, realize that, even without day-to-day bioterrorism, it is a day-to-day problem. On a continuous basis, there are some exotic diseases coming into the developed world with which we must deal. All these dynamics of the microbial world constitute a threat to health security, and it's time for global epidemic surveillance and response. We're dealing with epidemics, emerging infections, and drug resistance. The influenza pandemic in 1918 and 1919, the Spanish flu, killed millions. The estimated number of casualties worldwide is more than 40 million. More

The EMHJ was established in 1995 to provide a peer-reviewed platform for health professionals to share their research with the scientific community. The objective of this review was to examine EMR public health research trends, as reflected by EMHJ publications in 20 years (1995-2014), through secondary data analysis. Published articles were categorized according to EMR strategic priority areas (93%), i.e. health systems strengthening (25%); reproductive and child health (22%); communicable diseases (26%); noncommunicable diseases (25%); emergency preparedness (1.5%). Most papers were original research articles (85 %), published in English (94 %), but just over half (52 %) mentioned obtaining a form of ethical clearance in the text. Six countries had each over 100 papers published during the study period, i.e. Iran, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iraq, Pakistan. Half EMHJ publications during this period came from 4 countries only (Iran, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan), which calls for further study to evaluate why other EMR nations are less well represented and how to encourage greater contribution from them over the coming years.المجلة الصحية لشرق المتوسط: لمحة عامة عن المجلة خلال عشرين عامًا (1995 – 2014).أحمد منديل، فيونا كيرليت، حاتم نور الدين، نادية أبوصالح، محمد سليمان.تأسَّست المجلة الصحيّة لرق المتوسط في عام 1995 لتكون منراً مراجعاً من قِبَل النظراء، للمهنيّن الصحيّن كي يشاركوا أبحاثهم مع الأوساط العلميّة. ولقد هدفت هذه الدراسة فحص اتجاهات الصحة العامة في إقليم شرق المتوسط، والتي أبرزتها الأعداد الصادرة عن المجلة طيلة عقدَيْن كاملَنْ (1995-2014)، من خال التحليل الثانوي للبيانات. وقد بلغت نسبة الأبحاث المنشورة وفقاً للمجالات الاسراتيجية ذات الأولوية في إقليم شرق المتوسط (% 93)، واشتملت عى: تقوية النُّظُم الصحيّة (% 25)؛ والصحة الإنجابية وصحة الطفل (% 22)؛ والأمراض السارية (% 26)؛ والأمراض غر السارية (% 25)؛ والتأهُّب للطوارئ (% 1.5). وكانت معظم الأبحاث المنشورة عبارة عن مواد بحوث أصليّة (% 85) نُرَت باللغة الإنجليزية (% 94). وقد نُر لستة بلدان أكثر من 100 ورقة بحثيّة، كلٌ عى حدة، أثناء فرة الدراسة، وهي الأردن، وباكستان، وجمهورية إيران الإسامية، والعراق، ومر، والمملكة العربية السعودية. وخال تلك الفرة، وُجِدَ أن نصف منشورات المجلة الصحية لرق المتوسط من 4 بلدان فقط (هي: الأردن، وجمهورية إيران الإسامية، ومر، والمملكة العربية السعودية)، ما يدعو إلى إجراء مزيد من الدراسة بُغْيَة تقييم السّبَب وراء انخفاض مشاركة بقية بلدان إقليم شرق المتوسط في المجلة، وبيان السبيل لتشجيعها عى زيادة مساهماتها عى مدى السنوات المقبلة.La Revue de la Santé dans la Méditerranée orientale : survol de 20 années (1995–2014).La Revue de Santé de la Méditerranée orientale a été créée en 1995 afin de servir de plateforme avec examen collégial où les professionnels de la santé peuvent partager leurs travaux de recherche avec la communauté scientifique. L’objectif de la présente étude était d’examiner les tendances de recherche en santé publique dans la Région de la Méditerranée orientale, telles que reflétées par les publications de la Revue sur 20 ans (1995-2014), au moyen d’une analyse des données secondaires. Les articles publiés ont été catégorisés selon les domaines de priorités stratégiques de la Région de la Méditerranée orientale (93 %), à savoir le renforcement des systèmes de santé (25 %), la santé génésique et infantile (22 %), les maladies transmissibles (26 %), les maladies non transmissibles (25 %), et la préparation aux situations d’urgence (1,5 %). La plupart des publications étaient des articles de recherche originaux (85 %) publiés en anglais (94 %), mais seulement un peu plus de la moitié (52 %) ont mentionné avoir obtenu une forme d’approbation éthique dans le texte. Six pays ont publié plus de 100 articles chacun au cours de la période étudiée (Arabie saoudite, Égypte, République islamique d’Iran, Jordanie, Iraq, Pakistan). La moitié des publications de la Revue durant cette période ont été produites par quatre pays (l’Arabie saoudite, l’Égypte, la République islamique d’Iran et la Jordanie). Il serait donc intéressant d’étudier les raisons pour lesquelles d’autres pays de la Région de la Méditerranée orientale sont moins représentés, ainsi que la façon de les encourager à contribuer davantage dans les années à venir.

Although patients frequently use patient information leaflets (PILs) to obtain information about medicine, their confidence in using it may be diminished after reading it. This study aimed to assess the public perception of PIL's quality and the perceived impact of its use on medication adherence.A community-based cross-sectional study of 1,138 adult individuals in Saudi Arabia, April-May 2020, was conducted via Survey Monkey using an anonymous validated e-questionnaire. Data were collected on personal characteristics, PIL readership and preferences, perception towards PIL quality and impact of its use on taking medication, and reasons for not reading PIL. In addition, logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the significant predictors of reading PIL. Significance was considered at p < 0.05.Nearly all participants (91.1%) reported reading PIL. The more read PIL's sections were directions of use (52.7%) and side effects (30.3%). Female gender (OR = 5.64, 95%CI: 3.53,9.02), age over 40 years (OR = 2.80, 95%CI: 1.69,4.64), and secondary education or more (OR = 1.74, 95%CI: 1.06,2.85) were the significant predictors of reading PIL. The majority of PIL readers reported their preference for verbal information (65.8%), hard copy presentation (77%), adding graphics (71.1%), and concise content of PIL (68.8%). In addition, most participants reported PIL always/usually adds to their knowledge of medicines (70.6%) and said that PIL reading positively impacted their medication adherence (64.9%). For only 8.8%, PIL reading negatively impacted their adherence, primarily because of reading information on medicine's side effects and complications (74.4%). More than one-half of participants perceived the PIL quality as good/excellent in terms of; font size (51.3%), language comprehensiveness (64.9%), paper quality (68.0%), and general appearance (64.9%). Getting sufficient information from doctors and pharmacists was the main reason for not reading the PIL (59.2%). Most participants (92.5%) agreed on standardizing how information is displayed in the PIL among all PILs of all companies.PIL is read by nearly all the study sample, especially females, older, and educated subjects. It was perceived as beneficial in upgrading medication adherence. Effective designing of PILs should focus on patients' literacy level and age. Standardization of the PIL structure in all pharmaceutical companies is recommended.
