Background/Objectives: Obesity has surged globally, posing various health risks. Its prevalence and management, especially in primary health care settings in Saudi Arabia, have recently been under the spotlight. This research synthesized various studies, analyzing the knowledge and preparedness of primary health care physicians in addressing and management of obesity in Saudi Arabia. Methods: An exhaustive evaluation of studies spanning different regions of Saudi Arabia, focusing on physicians' capabilities, knowledge, and practices in obesity management. This analysis also took into account the comparative approaches of countries like Canada, the UK, USA, and Hungary. Various factors, such as specialized obesity treatments, patient-centric approaches in pediatric obesity, career stages of physicians, obesity's correlation with noncommunicable diseases, and nutritional competence, were studied. Results: Nine studies were included. From a collective pool of 2430 participants across the discussed studies, challenges in obesity management were consistent. Despite having an understanding of obesity, there was a significant knowledge gap in specialized treatments, with many physicians feeling unprepared to manage the condition. Factors such as geographical diversity, physicians' experiences, external influences on pediatric obesity management, and the correlation between obesity and other health conditions were highlighted. The need for effective nutrition care, despite perceived capability, was a notable finding. Conclusion: Saudi Arabia faces a significant challenge in obesity management in primary health care settings, marked by knowledge gaps and the need for continuous training. The analyzed studies emphasize the importance of tailored interventions, robust training modules, and public health campaigns within Saudi Arabia's unique context to combat the obesity epidemic effectively.

In recent years, the field of environmental health promotion gained new prominence as awareness of physical environmental stressors and exposures escalated in Saudi Arabia. Although, several theories and conceptual models are routinely used for guiding health education and promotion interventions, they are rarely applied to environmental health issues in Saudi Arabia. This study theoretically reviews the educational and behavioral models for promoting health in Saudi Arabia. This study examines how education and behavioral models can reduce exposure to environmental health risks. In particular, this article describes the application of ecological theory with regard to its theoretical, analytical, and methodological challenges to future research in educational and behavioral studies. The implications of ecological theory are discussed for environmental health promotion. Ecological theory can further demonstrate the dimensions of health behaviors such as procedures for changing them. Health behaviors are also affected by many forces such as physical and social environments. This theory can assist planners in identifying the most appropriate target audiences, methods to improve change, and consequences for assessment. This theory is also important in including social, cultural, and physical factors that affect health consequences, which include factors such as social cohesion, behavioral patterns, emotional wellbeing, genetic heritage, and developmental maturation.

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

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic was declared by the WHO on March 11, 2020. To limit the spread of theSARS-CoV-2 virus that caused the pandemic, Saudi Arabia took precautionary steps like many other countries.COVID-19 symptoms typically resemble those of a cold and include a cough, fever, dyspnea, anosmia, ageusia, and headache. Not only did the COVID-19 have an impact on physical health, but also on mental health. Numerous factors, regardless of age, including work-related stress, lockdowns, social isolation, and quarantine in response to contain SARS-CoV-2 have a negative impact on the mental health of large populations. Individuals and communities have been impacted by public health emergencies, which have led to strong emotions and unhealthy behaviors. The most common manifestations of psychological problems are disorders of anxiety, depression, and panic. Due to the rapid spread of the disease, persistent efforts were put into developing a vaccine as soon as possible. Despite the fact that vaccines have been widely disseminated and given to large populations, there is still vaccine hesitancy, which may be brought on by concerns about the effectiveness of the vaccines, early trials, and related side effects. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia started the vaccination process in December 2020. BioNTech/Pfizer and AstraZeneca are the vaccines that are being used in Saudi Arabia. The most common side effect of the COVID-19 vaccines is mild to moderate pain at the injection site. Fatigue, headache, fever, chills, and myalgia have also been reported. The side effects are reported to last for one day. This study aims to assess the psychological impact of the COVID-19 vaccine on the adult population of Saudi Arabia.

The 2019 outbreak of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a worldwide health emergency that threatens the psychological health of the public. Research data are required to establish evidence-based approaches to alleviate the symptoms of anxiety during the outbreak. This study aimed to survey the public in Saudi Arabia to help in understanding their levels of anxiety during the COVID-19 outbreak. The researchers performed an on-line survey using snowball-sampling methods from April 1 through April 10, 2020. The online survey collected demographics information data, while the Social Anxiety Questionnaire for Adults (SAQ-A30) was used to measure anxiety levels. This study consisted of 709 respondents from different regions of Saudi Arabia. The general population reported mild to moderate rates of anxiety. Married respondents were associated with a significantly higher level of anxiety (p<0.05). The respondents reported mild to moderate anxiety during the outbreak of COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia. The results of this study identify the implications to lower levels of anxiety that may be used during the COVID-19 outbreak to develop psychological health assistance interventions to improve the psychological health of vulnerable groups.

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) designated the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a pandemic in March 2020. Prevention and control measures were implemented worldwide to limit the spread of the disease, and the effectiveness of these measures depend on the degree of awareness and adherence of the populations. This study was conducted to determine the current awareness levels and health practices of the Saudi Arabian population and to assess how much the education programs had improved the public awareness levels and health practices. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Saudi Arabia from November 2020 to May 2021 and enrolled 1062 participants. The current knowledge levels, attitudes, and practices of the Saudi Arabian population were assessed based on an online questionnaire survey. Results: The mean knowledge score was 29.36 ± 3.80; and 53.7%, 45.2%, and 1.1% of the participants had high, moderate, and low knowledge levels, respectively. The knowledge score was significantly related to the education level (p<0.001). The mean attitude score was 10.28 ± 2.56 and 74.9% of the participants had a high attitude level. The mean practice score was 3.67 ± 0.595, with significant differences that were related to the female sex (p=0.005) and younger age groups (p<0.05) and between those aged 30–34 years and those aged 35–39 or 40 years and older Conclusion: The participants exhibited a high level of public awareness in all sub-scales of knowledge, practices, and attitudes for the prevention of COVID-19. The overall knowledge levels, attitudes, and practices of the Saudi Arabian population had considerably improved since the beginning of the pandemic. Keywords: coronavirus; pandemic; prevention; control measures; practice

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is an amino acid which is widely used and approved as a flavor enhancer for a broad range of food. Glutamate receptor can be stimulated excessively to cause diabetes and cancer. MSG is associated with metabolic syndrome in humans. The main purpose of this study is to find a possible correlation between monosodium glutamate and signs of overweight among young children in Saudi Arabia. An electronic cross-sectional study was conducted in 2016 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Participants consisted of 572 Saudi parents of children aged between 6-18 years. Data analysis was done using t-test and chi-square test. Overweight children population was found to be relatively small in Saudi Arabia compared to other gulf countries such as United Arab Emirates (UAE) (40%). There is a statistically significant relationship between average weight and a preference for fast food at home. It is strongly recommended to reduce the amount of MSG taken in fast foods and snacks and some types of sweets for the prevention from associated chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, obesity, and others. Moreover, increasing public awareness about obesity and its main causes by putting posters in public places. Announcing detailed information on the causes of obesity in local magazines. Doing the study in other age/gender categories like women and elderly.

A significant increase in the number of coronavirus cases can easily be noticed in most of the countries around the world. Inspite of the consistent preventive initiatives being taken to contain the spread of this virus, the unabated increase in the cases is both alarming and intriguing. The role of mathematical models in predicting and estimating the spread of the virus, and identifying various preventive factors dependencies has been found important and effective in most of the previous pandemics like Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) 2003. In this research work, authors have proposed the Susceptible-Infectected-Removed (SIR) model variation in order to forecast the pattern of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) spread for the upcoming eight weeks in perspective of Saudi Arabia. The study has been performed by using SIR model with a proposed simplification using average progression for further estimation of β and γ values for better curve fittings ratios. The predictive results of this study clearly show that under the current public health interventions, there will be an increase in the COVID-19 cases in Saudi Arabia in the next four weeks. Hence, a set of strong health primitives and precautionary measures are recommended in order to avoid and prevent the further spread of COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia.

COVID-19 is no longer a global public health emergency, but it still affects numerous diseases and needs further research. Diabetic COVID-19 patients with major complications or intensive care had high mortality rates. This review provides pathophysiological descriptive data on diabetes mellitus type 2 and shows how COVID-19 infection in Saudi Arabia predicts disease severity and prognosis.This review was conducted through online research on MEDLINE/PubMed databases, Scopus, and Web of Science based on links between COVID-19 and diabetes mellitus type 2 patients. By using the keywords 'COVID-19', 'diabetes', ' correlation', and impact on 'population' from December 2022 to February 2023. The full texts of the articles that were retrieved were accessed.The COVID-19 epidemic has affected the community, especially diabetics, and their daily life. According to our research on prior studies, most COVID-19 patients in Saudi Arabia had diabetes as a comorbidity.We underline the necessity of thorough study to better understand COVID-19 and its association with diabetes to design and implement evidence-based initiatives and policies in Saudi Arabia, where diabetes is a major health issue.

Introduction: The health and well-being of school students are critical to communities globally, and the incidence of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents has become a global epidemic. In Saudi Arabia, childhood obesity is a significant concern, but no community interventions have been developed. Policymakers and health and social service providers should develop and implement policies that promote healthy living in individuals, including both physical activity and healthy nutrition programs. Objective: We established a school nursing policy to promote and improve the health of overweight and obese children in Saudi Arabia. Methods: This policy adheres to the guidelines of the University of Toronto's Health Promotion Center. Conclusion: It is critical to establish a national school nursing policy to promote healthier lifestyles among school-aged children in Saudi Arabia, since childhood overweight and obesity are significant issues, not just for achieving the goals of Vision 2030 but also for improving individual lives. However, this requires significant cooperation between the MoH and the MoE. In turn, such policies will benefit both ministries and the community as a whole by reducing healthcare costs and reducing children’s intake of fast foods, sweets, fatty foods, and sugary soft drinks and increasing physical activity.

ICD-10 is mandated by the World Health Organization (WHO). It codes diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or diseases. ICD-10 coding is used for measuring the quality, safety and efficacy of care, tracking public health concerns, epidemiological studies, and, improving clinical, financial, and administrative performance. Accurate and precise coding utilizing standardized methodologies on a national scale is both challenging and meticulous process. This paper aims to highlight the implementation challenges of ICD-10 coding in Saudi Arabia from the year (2007) to the year (2014). The main challenges and opportunities observed during the implenetaion process will be presented. The methodology of the implementation process of ICD-10 started in 2007, the first step started with signing an agreement between the Saudi Arabia and Australia to obtain a license agreement, the second step was creating a committee to oversee the implementation, and the third step was preparing an implementation guide with the following objectives, to increase the level of awareness to understand the ICD-10 impact, and enable hospitals and software vendors to adopt to the new system. ICD-10 implantation faced some challenges, some were coders-related and some were organization-related. Among the most important coders challenges were the lack of ICD-10 training resources, poor English literacy, and significant shortage of coders (7%) and medical records staff (45%). The absence of a clear professional career path for Hospital Information Management (HIM) Specialists and Clinical Coders has played an important role in limiting the coding process in Saudi Arabia. Organization challenges included lack of ICD-10 awareness, poor technical infrastructure, lack of interoperability with legacy and dated Hospital Information Systems, and the lack of a Discharge Abstract Data (DAD) System with defined minimum data sets. The Saudi National e-health Strategy will leverage the ICD-10 implementation.

ABSTRACTLack of sexual health knowledge among Saudi Arabian adolescents suggests the need for investigation into the sexual health education curriculum provided in schools. This study explored the dominant ideologies that shape sexual health education discourse in Saudi Arabia. To date, there have been few analyses of the ideologies underpinning Saudi Arabia’s school curriculum and the approach that is taken to teaching about sexual health. Examining the ideologies informing sexual health education in Saudi schools can assist in a shift towards more comprehensive approaches. In this study, critical discourse analysis was used to identify the underlying ideologies present within Saudi school curricula as they relate to sexual health education. Our findings suggest that conservative ideology dominates sexual health education discourse. Significantly, it is more strongly present in the curricula available to girls and young women. Sexual health education’s discourse currently reflects social/cultural perspectives and avoids the inclusion of more comprehensive health-related information that would better enable young people to protect their health.KEYWORDS: sex educationSaudi Arabiasexuality discourseideologiessexual health Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. Tatweer is a national initiative that aims to achieve the leadership’s vision for developing public education in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, through the development of the educational system with all its components, including inputs, processes and outputs.2. This term refers to parts of the human body that must be covered or protected from the gaze of others (who are not permitted to see them).3. ‘Al-Ghusl is the act of pouring water all over the body with the intention of purification. It cannot be sound without washing the whole body, including rinsing the mouth and inhaling and exhaling water in and out the nostrils’ (Association of Guidance and Educate Communities 2020, 12)Additional informationFundingThe study was funded through the Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission in Australia (SACM) as part of the first author’s Master’s degree at The University of Sydney.

Background: In Saudi Arabia, smoking is a significant public health concern. Cigarette smoking is the leading preventable cause of urinary bladder cancer and increases the risk of prostatic and renal malignancies. There have been a limited number of studies conducted on this topic in Saudi Arabia, especially in the Western Region. Objectives: The current study aims to assess the knowledge and awareness of the general population in the Western Region of Saudi Arabia regarding smoking as a risk factor for urological diseases. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between February and October 2023, employing an online survey self-administered and disseminated through social media platforms. A method of sampling by convenience was utilized to enlist the participants for the study. Following approval from an Institutional Review Board, information was gathered from Saudi Arabian citizens and residents aged 18 or older residing in the western region. Results: The study included a total of 850 individuals. Based on the gender distribution, 67% of the individuals were male, while 33% were female. The participants were surveyed regarding their smoking habits; out of the total, 70% identified as non-smokers, 18% identified as smokers, and 12% identified as ex-smokers. 37% of respondents acknowledged that smoking posed a risk for bladder cancer, while 36.8% acknowledged that smoking posed a risk for kidney cancer. Gender exhibited a notable correlation with kidney cancer and erectile dysfunction (p &lt; 0.05). Moreover, there was a strong correlation between smoking status and erectile dysfunction (p &lt; 0.05). Conclusion: The study revealed that only a small proportion of participants have sufficient knowledge of the association between smoking and the heightened susceptibility to kidney and bladder cancer. Therefore, it is necessary to increase awareness through the implementation of campaigns and the utilization of social media channels.

(1) Background: COVID-19 has become a worldwide public health problem. No previous study has investigated factors associated with COVID-19 knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) after completely lifting the curfew in all Saudi Arabia regions and cities. Therefore, adequate knowledge, a positive attitude, and correct control of COVID-19 are essential to eradicate the disease. Hence, this study aims to assess factors associated with KAP of COVID-19; (2) Methods: This cross-sectional web-based survey was performed with the participation of 4305 individuals aged over 15 years living in Saudi Arabia from 11 to 19 August 2020. They were included using the snowball sampling method; (3) Results: Of the 4305 participants, 94.9% were Saudis, 60% females, and 45.4% were in the age group of 20-34 years, 61.7% married, and 49.3% from the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Most of the participants demonstrated good KAP levels (89.6%, 87.2%, and 87.2%) towards the COVID-19 pandemic, respectively. In addition, most of the participants (85.8%) used the internet and social media as a source for COVID-19 information (4) Conclusions: The finding showed that most of the participants demonstrated good knowledge of COVID-19, positive attitudes, and demonstrated good practices for preventing the spread of disease infection.

Background: Cryptosporidium infection remains a major public health issue, but its epidemiology in humans is still unclear, particularly in Southwestern Saudi Arabia. Hence, this study was designed to determine the infection status of Cryptosporidium and the reservoir hosts in southwestern Saudi Arabia community and to recognize the associated risk factors, with evaluating the diagnostic performance of the techniques used.Methods: A total of 576 stool specimens and sera were screened for cryptosporidiosis using modified Ziehl neelsen technique and a newly developed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) respectively, between September 2015 and December 2016.Results: Of the 576 samples assayed, 9.5 and 20.8% were positive for Cryptosporidium oocyst and anti-Cryptosporidium antibody, respectively. The seropositivity was positively correlated with age, especially in the age group less than 6 years old. Likewise, the prevalence of Cryptosporidium infections in males was significantly higher than in female counterparts (P < 0.05). The current study revealed that the maximum number of cases, 22.4%, was observed during the months of January to April, indicating marked significant seasonal variation. Sensitivity and specificity of newly developed Elisa technique when compared to acid-fast were 100% and 88.24%, respectively.Conclusions: This is the first study highlighting that Cryptosporidium infections are still an important public health problem in Southwestern Saudi Arabia. Therefore, health education would be the best way to prevent the infections and the serological assays proved to be useful mean to provide more accurate information regarding community levels of Cryptosporidium infection.

Pediatric ophthalmic conditions are a common and a serious public health problem, as they can not only impact the child’s ability to learn, have a normal social life, and get a better quality of life, but they can also lead to complete blindness or visual impairment. Early intervention is necessary for childhood eye diseases since they can result in ongoing issues. The underlying causes of blindness in children differ significantly from region to region, depending on some factors, including socioeconomic development and access to primary healthcare services and facilities. However, it is estimated that there are over 19 million people globally with visual impairments and that there are roughly 1.4 million cases of blindness. As a result, the purpose of this study is to assess the parents’ and caregivers’ awareness in Aseer, Saudi Arabia, about various common pediatric ophthalmic diseases, including strabismus, amblyopia, refractive errors, and congenital glaucoma. By identifying the gap in knowledge and awareness, this could help create targeted educational and awareness programs geared toward the parents and the public of Aseer, Saudi Arabia, which could help prevent or reduce the prevalence of pediatric ophthalmic conditions, and boost the children’s eye health. Key words: knowledge, awareness, paediatric eye health, eye diseases, Aseer, Saudi Arabia

Background: Stroke is a global top cause of death and disability, with a rising impact in countries like Saudi Arabia. Awareness of stroke signs, treatment urgency, and disparities tied to factors such as age and education contribute to its severity. This study aimed at assessing stroke knowledge, attitude, and practice among adults in the Balqarn community in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 745 adults in a community in Balqarn Governorate, Saudi Arabia, during the year 2023. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that assessed knowledge, attitude, and practice related to stroke, as well as sociodemographic factors. Results: The studied participants had a mean age of 42.1 ± 12.8 years old, with most being males (74.4%) and married (77%). The majority had a university level of education or above (63.4%). The most known causes and risk factors of stroke were identified as unhealthy lifestyle, stress, obesity, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, and Diabetes Miletus (DM). Social media and open channel internet were the most reported sources of information. Positive preventive behaviors were reported among participants, and the majority reported they would go directly to the hospital if they experienced stroke symptoms. Female gender and university level of education were significantly associated with a good overall knowledge level regarding stroke. Conclusion: The present study conducted at Balqarn Governorate, Saudi Arabia, underscores the necessity for improved stroke awareness and education. Social media and the internet stand out as key information sources, suggesting the potential for focused educational efforts. Encouragingly, participants showed readiness for healthy lifestyles. Women and university-educated individuals exhibited better stroke knowledge, highlighting targeted education&apos;s importance. These insights can shape effective stroke prevention and management strategies.

This study aimed to investigate the knowledge and attitude of the public in Saudi Arabia toward the concept of surface decontamination during the COVID-19 pandemic. A cross-sectional, web-based study was conducted over six months, from February 2021 to July 2021. We included adult Saudi and non-Saudi males and females living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Results: Six hundred and twenty-six responses from Saudi (92.7%) and non-Saudi (7.3%) participants with a median age of 24 years and interquartile range (IQR) of 21-29 years were received. Regarding knowledge level, 32.10% of the participants had good knowledge of respiratory virus transmission, and only 3.4% had good knowledge of decontamination products. Overall, 58.1% of the participants had a positive attitude toward decontamination products, and 28% had a negative attitude. Older participants, females, and participants who received their information from the Ministry of Health had higher odds of having a positive attitude toward disinfectant (OR = 1.022, 95% CI: 1.004 to 1.039, p = 0.013), (OR = 3.05, 95% CI: 2.08 to 4.47, p < 0.001), and (OR = 2.95, 95% CI: 1.44 to 6.05, p = 0.003), respectively. Conclusion: The current evidence suggests that the knowledge in the general population of Saudi Arabia is low regarding the transmission of COVID-19 infection and disinfectant products. The prevalence of using decontamination products and attitude toward it is average. Continuous awareness campaigns are required to increase the public's awareness toward such products to change the population's attitude and practice, improve the prevention, and reduce the spread of the infection and its related misconception.

During the spring of 2009, a new influenza A (H1N1) virus caused human acute respiratory illness first in Mexico.1 The Iranian Ministry of Health (MoH) launched a system to monitor and report the presence of this new virus throughout the country on May 10, 2009. Here we report the first confirmed cases of influenza A (H1N1) virus that were identified from July through October 2009 in Isfahan, the second important province in Iran. In a laboratory-based reporting system, the Provincial Health Centers were supplied by the MoH with case definition and patient information forms to be disseminated to all health care institutions in their province. Any person who fulfilled the case definition criteria2 was directed to designated health facilities. The nasopharyngeal samples were sent to the National Influenza Reference Laboratory at Tehran school of Public Health in a viral transport medium (virocult, Medical wire & Equipment, UK) and were tested with the real time RT-PCR protocol and reagents supplied by the WHO. A total of 376 samples were taken from suspected cases. Fifty from these samples were positive. The first confirmed case had traveled to Mecca (Saudi Arabia) and had already become symptomatic while staying there. The median age was 27 years (range: 10-75 years). Most travel-associated cases were returning travelers from Saudi Arabia (55.2%); followed by Malaysia (17.24%). Fever was the most common symptom, presented in 95.9% of the cases, followed by cough (85.7%) and myalgia (77.5%). Influenza A (H1N1) virus entered Isfahan through travelers, mainly coming from Saudi Arabia.3 The majority of the confirmed cases consisted of young adults and they mainly manifested clinical symptoms similar to those reported in other areas.4 Since many patients with influenza like symptoms may not visit the physicians, it is possible that the cases have been under diagnosed.

BACKGROUND: Obesity is a significant public health issue, in both developed and developing countries, and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is no exception. There are several studies that assess the knowledge and attitudes of students towards obesity, but most of these studies have been conducted in countries with different cultures and lifestyles. An important starting point for designing proper prevention strategies for obesity among Saudi students is to know how much they know about the disease. This study was conducted to assess the knowledge and attitudes of university students towards obesity and to determine whether their knowledge, attitudes and sources of information differ according to sociodemographic characteristics.

Snakebite envenoming is a neglected tropical disease causing a global public health risk. The real magnitude of this risk in Saudi Arabia could not be fully identified, together with the reported prevalence of highly venomous snakes. This study reviews the reported prevalence, clinical manifestations, and treatment plans of local snakebite victims from the published data on the main electronic databases in the last 20 years. The search resulted in a total of nine studies. All the included published studies collected their data within the time frame from 1983 to 2010, and located in only four governments of Saudi Arabia. The most common snakes identified were Cerastescerastes and Echiscoloratus, and most of the included cases showed coagulopathy. Different types of antivenom were used in the included studies with no stated treatment protocol. Our study concluded that there is a necessity for approaching a nation-wide survey study on the prevalence of snakebite injury with generalization of an evidence-based treatment protocol for management of snakebite victims.

Influenza is a highly transmissible respiratory virus. Public awareness about the nature of the disease and how to prevent it must be explored to effectively mitigate the adverse effects of the disease. This study aimed to assess the parents' knowledge and attitudes towards the influenza and the influenza vaccine in Al-Kharj Governate, Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional study was performed, and an electronic questionnaire was distributed from December 2020 to the end of April 2021 to parents living in Al- Kharj, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected and analyzed using IBM SPSS version 21. The study had 510 participants, of which 75.1% were mothers. Overall knowledge about the influenza disease was found to be low in 68.6% of participants. In addition, 55.7% of respondents displayed an inadequate level of knowledge of the influenza vaccine. Almost 75% of parents had chosen not to vaccinate their children in the past and of those, only 35.9% were willing to vaccinate their child this year. The most common reason for parents choosing not to vaccinate their children was that they believed the child to be in good health. This demographic studied in Al-Kharj, Saudi Arabia did not demonstrate sufficient knowledge about the influenza disease and vaccine. Study participants were hesitant to vaccinate their children. This should prompt healthcare workers and the Ministry of Health to lead a broad awareness campaign on influenza vaccination that extends to both urban and rural areas.

The present study aimed at assessing community familiarity with cancer-related lifestyle habits in Northern Saudi Arabia.This descriptive cross-sectional study involved a community-based sample of 442 civilians living in Hail, Northern Saudi Arabia. Data were collected during the period between October and November 2020. Data were randomly collected from different public gathering places regardless of age or sex.Higher nescience percentages were associated with physical inactivity followed by obesity and fast food, representing 328/390 (84%), 311/390 (80%), and 263/390 (67%), respectively.Northern Saudi Arabia has a high negative attitude toward cancer risk factors, necessitating the implementation of community-based health education and cancer awareness programs. Level of education and age have no significant role in the level of cancer awareness.

Abstract Background Mental and substance use disorders represent a significant global public health challenge causing considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide. This paper assessed the prevalence, incidence, and trends in disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) rates due to mental and substance use disorders over a 30-year period in Saudi Arabia. Method This is a systematic analysis of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019 study. Data for the disease burden of mental and substance use disorders were used to Saudi Arabia from 1990 to 2019. Results In 2019, there were 5,032,669 million (95% uncertainty intervals (UI) 3·5–9·9)) adults in Saudi Arabia with mental disorder, and 166,989 thousand with substance use disorder. The largest proportion of prevalence increase from 1990 to 2019 was in eating disorder with 9.8% (95% UI 7.03–12.6). The most significant proportion of prevalence and incidence increase from 1990 to 2019 was in opioid disorders with 69.72% (95% UI 67-72.5), 42.14% (95% UI 32.414–54.75). Gender and age variations were observed in the DALYs due to mental and substance use disorders. From 1990 to 2019 there was + 26.46% increase in the annual change rate of age standardized DALYs due to substance use disorders Conclusion This study highlights the modest increase in the prevalence, incidence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rates associated with mental disorders in Saudi Arabia over the past three decades. However, there has been a significant rise in the prevalence, incidence, and DALYs rates related to substance use disorders across different gender and age groups. These findings underscore the significance of taking into account age and gender differences in mental and substance use disorders when formulating prevention and treatment initiatives. Further research is warranted to identify the factors contributing to the upward trend in substance use disorders and to devise effective strategies for addressing this critical public health concern.

The abstract
This study aims to design a practice-based, culturally sensitive model of health education for hospital nurses. The theoretical and literature background to the meaning of practice-based, culturally sensitive models indicates that designing such models requires consideration of theoretical assumptions and evidence-based findings related to both health education practice and cultural sensitivity. Hence, the study has to use the study findings to create the final model design.
The study objectives that needed to be answered using mixed methods include:1) Identify which health education skills are most valued by hospital nurses in Saudi Arabia; 2) Explore the self-perceived competence levels of Saudi hospital nurses when delivering health education; 3) Identify which aspects of health education knowledge are most valued by hospital nurses in Saudi Arabia; 4) Identify any organisational barriers that might impact on the delivery of health education in Saudi Arabian hospitals; 5) Identify any strategies that might impact on improving the delivery of culturally sensitive health education in Saudi hospitals.
The results have found several important skills and subjects of knowledge related to health education, low confidence levels for the majority of measured skills among nurses, the presence of culture, nursing, the workplace and educational barriers to health education practice, and also recommended several culturally sensitive strategies able to help to deal with Saudi cultural norms and values. Therefore, from the discussion of theoretical assumptions, literature and evidence-based findings of the study results, the final model is created and indicates that practice-based, culturally sensitive health education requires several interventions at two levels. The model consists of two dimensions including internal and external dimensions. The internal dimension reflects actions inside hospitals, which include continuous education, barrier removal and motivational interventions. Actions outside hospitals include updating nursing policies, cooperation with community organisations and use of the media.

One of the greatest contributions to public health is vaccination. The majority of affluent nations have high rates of childhood vaccination, indicating that vaccination is still largely regarded as a public health policy in these nations. But there might be many individuals who are under-vaccinated. The rise of VPD outbreaks, such as measles, poliomyelitis, and pertussis, and under- or non-vaccinated communities have been linked in several nations. The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified vaccine hesitancy as one of the top 10 health hazards for 2019. Recently, there have been reports of vaccine reluctance in Saudi Arabia. Currently, the need for awareness campaigns about the benefits of vaccination is needed more than ever. In this review we will be looking at immunization hesitancy in Saudi Arabia, its definition, factors, and possible solutions.

In Saudi Arabia and around the world, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is a significant public health problem. This paper explores the strategies that Saudi Arabia took to control COVID-19 from March 2020 to July 2021 and highlights some considerations regarding the ongoing COVID-19 response. The high testing capacity adopted by the Saudi Government and the country's strong adherence to public health guidelines may have created conditions that stemmed the spread of COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia.In this position paper, 3 government tools of governance that were utilized to address the problem of COVID-19 are identified: social regulation, interorganizational collaboration, and public information. The governance tools detailed in this research are frequently used to alleviate public health concerns, which is important as the use of governance tools to implement policy is the trend of the future. Public-private partnerships and strategic alliances are also viable options to confront national issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract Background Sexual workplace violence occurs worldwide with increasing prevalence, causing psychological and physical injuries. However, only few reports from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have investigated the most involved health specialty and its association with other factors, such as working and sociodemographic conditions. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of workplace sexual violence over 12 months, from May 2018 to May 2019, circumstances related to the event, and consequences for the perpetrator and survivor and to identify associated factors among all healthcare workers (HCWs) in Saudi Arabia. Methods This cross-sectional study included all HCWs registered with the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties who worked for > 1 year in the health sector (government or private) in Saudi Arabia until May 2019. A non-probability convenient sampling technique was used. A modified self-administered questionnaire sent via email was utilized to assess workplace violence. Descriptive statistics were used to report percentages and frequencies, while advanced statistics, such as bivariate analysis, were used to determine associations. Multivariate logistic binary regression analysis was used to assess the combined and individual associations between relevant predictors of exposure of HCWs to recent sexual violence at the workplace. Results In total, 7,398 (male, 51.3%; female, 48.7%) HCWs were electively enrolled in the study (mean age 40 ± 8.62 years). Most were non-Saudi (60%). Overall, 3.9% were sexual violence survivors. Approximately 60.7%, 51.4%, 48.3%, and 65.9% of female workers, nurses, Saudi natives, and night shift workers (18:00 to 07:00), respectively, were significantly exposed to sexual violence. Furthermore, approximately 54.8% of those with direct physical contact with patients had a higher rate of exposure to sexual harassment ( p = 0.001). Conclusions The prevalence of sexual violence is low but remains a risk to HCWs, especially those working night shifts and having direct physical contact with patients. Thus, more support, specific strategies, and policies are needed to reduce the rate of occurrence, protect HCWs, and prevent such events. The underreporting of cases may be skewing the magnitude of the problem; thus, more education and additional research in Saudi Arabia are needed regarding sexual violence experienced by HCWs.

Viral zoonoses are some of the significant causes of morbidity and mortality, with epidemiological differences in patterns of these diseases in dif-ferent geographical regions, and some of these zoonoses remaining as “endemic zoonoses”. Certain viral zoonoses are endemic and unique to Saudi Arabia and can be attributed to large number of reservoir animals and arthropods, regular influx of expatriate workforce from different countries, and yearly, large mass religious gathering for the Hajj. An analysis of the published epidemiologic studies of zoonotic and vector-borne viral infections that have occurred in Saudi Arabia was conducted to present a descriptive analysis of such diseases with a particular emphasis on influenza, MERS-CoV and viral hemorrhagic fevers such as dengue, Alkhurma, Rift Valley fever, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, and the recent reports of vCJD. The inevitable risk of infection can be minimized and the outbreak of disease can be contained by increasing public awareness of sources and modes of transmission of these diseases. In addition, better diagnostics can improve early diagnosis, helping to reduce spread of the disease and related morbidity and mortality in the region.

In the last decade, healthcare in Saudi Arabia has been significantly improving. This has been accompanied by advancements in the field of Information and Communications Technology (ICT). In particular, Saudi Arabia has seen the recent introduction of health information systems in healthcare organisations, namely, the Electronic Health Record System (EHRs) and the Electronic Medical Record System (EMRs). These systems offer a number of potential benefits, such as the reduction of medical costs; however, the health organisations in question face limitations when it comes to reaping these benefits, due to the challenges surrounding their implementation. In order to reduce these challenges, a high level of interoperability between different organisations’ systems is required. To make this possible, this study illustrates the applicability required regarding an adoption model for a unified health information system.
Based on a review of the literature on the diffusion of innovation, there are several factors that influence the adoption of HIT, which needs to be investigated. These will support implementing health information technology, in particular, EHRs/EMRs. However, the adoption of such EHRs/EMRs as a core technology in healthcare organisations for both private and public hospitals has been significantly developed in recent times, without real practical research, such as an investigation into health information exchange.
The implementation of EHRs has been a necessity for hospitals to achieve objectives, such as enhancing the quality of healthcare provided, heightening patient safety, and reducing the time and cost of healthcare delivery. Additionally, this study widely illustrates that EHRs/EMRs would provide a transformative benefit to the Saudi health system, resulting in improved patient care and greater transparency, as well as improving the decision-making process effectively and efficiently. The purpose of this research is to explore the impact EHRs have in the healthcare industry. After covering the theories of acceptance technology, adoption, and innovation in healthcare, the circumstances surrounding the implementation of a HIT in a developing country, such as Saudi Arabia, will be investigated. Through this study, it was possible to establish several differing factors, which influence the adoption of EHRs. These factors show impacts on time, cost, quality, efficiency, process, and performance. In this thesis, an exploratory, interpretative, multiple-case study methodology is employed to examine the case of Saudi Arabia, in the use of EHRs. This involved twenty interviews, across two public and two private hospitals.
This study contributed at three levels. Firstly, concerning an understanding of the adoption process of HIT, which is lacking in the current literature. Secondly, the research model highlighted key impacts, risks, barriers, issues, and challenges surrounding the implementation of EHRs, and how EHRs are adopted by different health organisations. Lastly, it illustrated the critical factors, which influence the adoption of EHRs in healthcare organisations, and for future integration, as well as giving possible avenues for future research.

Background & objective: Each year millions of Muslims embark on a religious pilgrimage called the “Hajj” to Mecca in Saudi Arabia. The mass migration during the Hajj is unparalleled in scale, and pilgrims face numerous health hazards. Performing the tasks of pilgrimage is stressful and laborious and as such requires immense mental and physical fitness on the part of the pilgrims. But a substantial proportion of the pilgrims lack it. Besides, the hot and dry environment and untold overcrowding predispose them to the risk of many communicable diseases. The present study, was therefore, intended to find the pattern of diseases among Bangladeshi Hajj pilgrims at Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
 Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out on Bangladeshi Hazz pilgrims in Mecca Saudi Arabia over a period of 1 month from mid-September to mid-October, 2015. A total of 710 pilgrims (18 or > 18 years) attending at Bangladeshi Hazz Medical Center (BHMC) in Mecca, Saudi Arabia during the period were consecutively included in the study after having voluntary verbal consent obtained from them. Diseases were diagnosed mainly on the basis of clinical signs and symptoms with provision of only random and fasting blood sugar estimation and ECG. The diagnosed diseases were grouped into major and minor problems or conditions and were treated as out-patient basis.
 Result: In the present study upper middle-aged (50 – 60 years) and elderly (≥ 60 years) pilgrims together formed nearly 73% of the patients with mean age of the patients being 56 years. Males were a bit higher than the females with male-female ratio being roughly 11:9. The study demonstrated that the commonest cause of out-patient visit was respiratory illness (41.2%) followed by diabetes (17.2%), peptic ulcer disease (PUD) (11.7%) and cardiovascular diseases (10.7%)(which included hypertension, new onset ischemia or exacerbation of preexisting ischemic heart diseases). A few (3.2%) of the patients presented with diarrhoeal diseases (loose motion or dysentery). Other minor ailments were allergy or dermatitis, insomnia, paronychia, anxiety, UTI, hemorrhoids, epistaxis, glossitis, oral ulcer, earache, conjunctivitis, worm infestation, spot bleeding etc., accounting for 4.8% of the patients.
 Conclusion: The study concluded that respiratory illness is the most common health problems among pilgrims visiting to Mecca, Saudi Arabia followed by diabetes, PUD and cardio-vascular diseases. The pilgrims should be educated in their home country before starting for pilgrimage as how to maintain their health in their new and challenging environment and Bangladesh Hazz Mission in Mecca should ensure enough medical support to them.

Hepatitis B infection (HBV) is one of the leading global health issues. Knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) can influence health-related behaviors. The present study aims to assess the current knowledge, attitude, and practice toward HBV infection and its prevention in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A systematic literature search was conducted in the electronic databases, including PubMed and Google Scholar, using the detailed Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses checklist. All KAP studies on HBV published from 2005 to 2019 in Saudi Arabia were included. QUALSYST tool was used for the quality assessment of the studies. The level of KAP was measured and summarized. Twenty-six studies were included, with a total of 10,725 participants. The included studies represent all regions of Saudi Arabia and included different population groups. Forty-six percent of the included studies are of good quality, whereas 50% and 4% are of fair and poor quality, respectively. The knowledge level was reported as good, fair, and poor at 64%, 27%, and 27%, respectively. Regarding the attitude, 38% had a positive attitude, 38% had a fairly positive attitude, and 24% had a negative attitude. A highly positive practice was reported among healthcare workers. Variable levels of KAP were found. The main factors affecting KAP were education, profession, and work experience. The results of this review will help the concerned authorities in KSA formulate strong advocacy programs to improve HBV awareness among the general population.

Introduction: Emergency department (ED) overcrowding is a global public health threat that affects both patients and ED staff. In Saudi Arabia, ED crowding is a challenge to the Ministry of Health. To date, the direct relationship between patient perceptions of ED crowding and their satisfaction has not been fully explained. We aim to assess the perception of our population on ED overcrowding and how it affects their satisfaction level. Methods: A quantitative, cross-sectional study where data collection took place through a pre-structured online questionnaire targeting all accessible adult population in the Western Region of Saudi Arabia. Results: Most of our 373 participants agreed that the decreased number of available emergency departments, lack of coordination, and short staffing were the main reasons of emergency departments overcrowding. The majority were neutral regarding staff incompetence and around 22% of them disagreed. More than half of our participants (59.8%) were unsatisfied, 62.2% of them reported delayed services as the reason behind their dissatisfaction. All participants who reported a delay in the provided services, reported an overall dissatisfaction with the emergency department’s provided care and services (P-Value <0.001) Conclusions: There is a need to provide more ED departments in the western region, designing educational programs for emergency physicians and all the ED staff, and designing awareness campaigns for the public to educate them on the concept of urgent cases and how to access healthcare properly to avoid ED crowding. Keywords: Emergency Department, Overcrowding, Satisfaction, Saudi Arabia.

Background: Cervical cancer is one of the serious diseases that affect women’s lives. Fortunately, cervical cancer is a preventable and treatable disease; early detection has reduced its mortality and morbidity worldwide. Cervical cancer screening is a global public health concern. However, there are misconceptions, stigmas, and poor awareness associated with cervical cancer. This study aimed to examine the knowledge, attitude, practice and stigmas, and misconceptions associated with cervical cancer screening in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the general population in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia. Data collection was carried out using a structured questionnaire that included demographic information about knowledge, attitude, practice and stigmas and misconceptions associated with cervical cancer screening. Results: The study collected data from 400 participants, with a female majority (81.8%). The majority of participants were married (65%), had an undergraduate degree (64%), and fell within the 31-50 age range (43.3%). The results showed that the majority of the participants had heard of a PAP test (61.3%), 58.8% of participants had misconceptions regarding cervical cancer screening. The association between education and knowledge of PAP tests was statistically significant (p=0.000). Conclusion: This study highlights the need for public health interventions to improve knowledge and awareness of cervical cancer screening in the Eastern province of Saudi Arabia. The study recommends public interventions targeted to concern stigmas and misconceptions associated with cervical cancer screening.

Despite the implementation of the monitor tobacco products and prevention package (MPOWER) in Saudi Arabia since 2011, the impact of the policy implantation on smoking prevalence and lung cancer incidence have not been evaluated. We aimed to estimate the potential reduction in future lung cancer incidence in Saudi Arabia that could be prevented if the highest level of tobacco control policies MPOWER score were implemented. Population-based lung cancer incidence data was used to predict lung cancer incidence in Saudi Arabia up to year 2039. We used hypothetical smoking prevalence that would be expected if countries had applied the highest-level implementation of MPOWER tobacco control policies score. We used potential impact fraction on the hypothetical smoking prevalence data to estimate the potentially preventable lung cancer cases taking into account latency periods between changes in smoking prevalence and development of cancer risks. After the hypothesized highest level of MPOWER tobacco policies implementation. the national tobacco smoking prevalence has declined by 55% from 13.17% in 2020 to 5.91% in 2039. If the highest-level MPOWER is implanted, more than half the tobacco smoker rate will be reduced, and a total of 9783 lung cancer cases would be potentially prevented in 2039. Further implementation of effective messages is needed to reduce tobacco-related cancers. By doing so, we can gain valuable insights into the impact of these policies on public health outcomes in the broader context of the region and identify potential areas for further improvement and intervention.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a burgeoning global health concern, closely associated with the rising prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to comprehensively evaluate the prevalence of NAFLD in DM patients in Saudi Arabia, a country undergoing rapid socioeconomic changes. Our multifaceted search strategy identified four high-quality studies conducted between 2003 and 2022, covering hospital and community settings. The aggregate prevalence rate of NAFLD in DM patients was notably high, ranging from 47.8% to 72.8%. However, substantial heterogeneity (I² = 90.6%) was observed, indicating variability attributed to diverse study characteristics. The uniform application of ultrasound for diagnosis was noteworthy but raised concerns regarding sensitivity. This analysis underscores the urgency of public health measures for early detection and management of NAFLD in DM-prone populations in Saudi Arabia.

Hajj is a unique annual universal Islamic event, that can only happen once a year in Makkah, Saudi Arabia, where about three million Muslim gathers annually, and the numbers are continuously increasing. Along with the increase in the numbers of pilgrims, the need for quality services during Hajj will keep on increasing. Improving and upgrading the quality of services and making the event safe and pleasant for the pilgrims are of prime importance to the Hajj organisers. Efforts to understand and identify service quality have been undertaken in the last three decades by many quality management thinkers and leaders. This book aims to understand service quality and religious tourism from an Islamic Pilgrimage (Hajj) viewpoint through measuring the quality of the services provided to pilgrims by different institutions in Saudi Arabia. The book builds a bridge of understanding that links pilgrims’ expectations of the quality of the services that will be provided to them during the Hajj, with their satisfaction with the actual level of the quality of services. In addition, the book determines and examines the size and direction of Hajj service quality gap(s).

Background Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular illness and premature death and is becoming more prevalent worldwide. To promote better educational strategies regarding hypertension, it is crucial to identify the most significant knowledge gaps among the general public. This study aimed to assess the knowledge of hypertension among the general public in Saudi Arabia. Methodology A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was conducted in Saudi Arabia. The target population was the general public aged ≥18 in Saudi Arabia. Statistical analysis was conducted using RStudio (R version 4.1.1). Numerical data were described as mean ± standard deviation or median and interquartile range (IQR) whenever applicable. P-values <0.05 indicated statistical significance. Results A total of 1,404 respondents were collected. After exclusion, 1,399 records were analyzed in this study. More than half of the respondents were females (59.5%) aged 18-39 years (52.7%) and had a university degree (64.8%). Additionally, 46.0% were employed. Approximately one-quarter of the sample had hypertension (26.3%), while 73.3% had a family history of hypertension The median score was 16.0 (IQR = 12.0-18.0) with a minimum and a maximum of 0.0 and 22.0, respectively. Reliability testing revealed that knowledge items had a good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.859 based on 22 knowledge items). There was no significant association between knowledge and gender and having a personal history of hypertension. However, the knowledge score differed significantly by age, educational level, employment status, and having a family history of hypertension. On the multivariate analysis, knowledge scores were independently higher among participants in the higher age categories. Moreover, having a university degree, a postgraduate degree, and a family history of hypertension were independently associated with higher knowledge scores. Conclusions This study found that the general public in Saudi Arabia had good levels of knowledge about hypertension. Being knowledgeable about hypertension not only improves adherence to treatment plans among antihypertensive patients but also aids in avoiding its occurrence and consequences among non-hypertensive patients by adopting self-care. Serial and frequent studies on this issue are recommended to gather more evidence on this topic. Ongoing hypertension education is essential to enhance knowledge to minimize the burden of this prevalent issue.

Dental diseases remain major health problems worldwide, leading to pain, discomfort, and even death. In Saudi Arabia, public dental care services (i.e., services provided by government-owned health facilities) are provided free of charge for all Saudi citizens. However, public dental care facilities are overburdened and overcrowded, resulting in long waiting times to access dental care services. The consequent limited access to dental services can prolong discomfort and delay pain management, thereby exacerbating the suffering of patients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the socioeconomic determinants of the willingness to pay for immediate public dental care in the face of a dental emergency in Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional design was employed to obtain data from adult citizens of Saudi Arabia who were residents of the Holy City of Makkah. A pre-tested online questionnaire was used to obtain the responses from 549 individuals, selected through a snowball sampling technique, from 15 July to 10 August 2021. Descriptive statistics (frequencies and percentages), Pearson's chi-square test, and binary probit regression were used as estimation techniques. The findings showed that 79.4% of the respondents were willing to pay for immediate public dental services, with the majority (86%) expressing a willingness to pay less than 500 Saudi Riyal (SAR). The binary probit regression estimates showed that respondents who were unemployed, those with a high school level of education or below, and those without private health insurance were less likely to be willing to pay for immediate public dental services. Thus, policies and initiatives aimed at enhancing the willingness to pay for immediate public dental services should target the unemployed, those with a high school level of education or below, and people without private health insurance.

Background: Varicocele is a common problem in males that drastically affect their reproductive health. There is some way to reduce or prevent this problem from occurrence. However, the level of knowledge of the general public towards these measures is unclear. Methods: A cross-sectional observational survey study that was carried out in Saudi Arabia using an online self-developed questionnaire that was distributed, via a link to Google form, to the general public. All adult literate citizens and residents in Taif city, Saudi Arabia were eligible for inclusion in this study. Only completed surveys were included in the analysis. Data were represented in the form of frequencies (number of responders) and valid percentages for categorical variables. ANOVA test was utilized to compare means between different subgroups. All P values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Result: A total of 275 participants responded to the survey. The mean score for knowledge was 10.01±4.305, with a minimum score of zero and a maximum score of eighteen. Females showed a significantly higher mean score (13.67±3.114) (p-value = 0.002). Single participants showed significantly higher mean score (10.26±4.176) (p-value= 0.04). Responders with a university degree had a higher average score (10.35±4.257) (p-value=0.002), and participants with a medical background had a higher average score (11.48±3.401) (p-value<0.001). Conclusion: A poor level of knowledge and attitude towards varicocele prevention and treatment were observed in Saudi Arabia. Further studies are required to figure out the level of knowledge and behaviors on a national level, and to explore the reasons behind this poor knowledge about varicocele.

Abstract Background Internship program is one of the experiential learning methods that enable students to gain practicum experience and learn from specialised people. This type of learning is a professional gateway to integrate knowledge with practical application. This study defines the state of health informatics internship programs in Saudi Arabia and examines the difference between interns and graduated students’ perceptions about the experience of health informatics internship programs in Saudi hospitals. Methods An online survey was constructed and distributed to health informatics students through social media platforms and specialised groups. The sample size included 89 participants from different universities across Saudi Arabia regions. Results The findings indicate that the majority of participants believe that internship programs have a positive impact on students’ skills and provide students with non-monetary incentives. ANOVA analysis and t-test results indicated that there is no significance difference between the interns and graduates perceptions (p-value 0.495, alpha value 0.005) Conclusion Health informatics internship programs in the Kingdom should consider some aspects: the selection criteria of internship sites, the linkage between education outcomes and Saudi labour market needs, effective experiential learning methods, well-defined structure of health informatics internship program and competencies framework.

Self-medication, the unsupervised use of drugs, is a common global behavior with potential adverse health outcomes. This study explores the prevalence and patterns of self-medication in Saudi Arabia, focusing on factors such as drug availability, economic constraints, and public trust in healthcare systems. Particular emphasis is placed on self-medication with antibiotics and prescription drugs due to their significant public health risks. Our comprehensive, quantitative, cross-sectional study surveyed 1,671 individuals across Saudi Arabia's diverse regions. We found that 75.5% of respondents engaged in self-medication, primarily on an occasional basis. While 59.8% of participants perceived self-medication as safe, 17.5% reported experiencing adverse effects. Respondents strongly advocated for increased regulatory measures (87.7%) and a pressing need for enhanced public education (92.6%) to address the associated risks. The study highlights the widespread practice of self-medication in Saudi Arabia, influenced by various factors, and underscores the need for targeted health policies and educational campaigns to mitigate these risks.

Background: The high prevalence of physical inactivity in Saudi Arabia is a growing challenge to public health. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of physical activity (PA) and associated factors among female university students. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 663 randomly selected female university students who completed the Arab Teens Life Style questionnaire. Data included measurements of anthropometric, socioeconomic and environmental factors, as well as self-reported PA. Ordinal regression was used to identify associated factors with low, moderate and high PA levels. Results: The mean age of participants was 20.4 years (SD 1.5). Mean BMI of the students in relation to PA were 23.0, 22.9, 22.1 for high, moderate and low levels of activity, respectively. The analysis revealed significantly higher PA levels among married students, those with high educated mothers, and those who lived far from parks, and lower activity levels among underweight students. Conclusions: This study raises four important determinants for female university students’ PA levels. These factors could be of great importance in the endeavor to prevent the health-threatening increase in physical inactivity patterns and thus non-communicable diseases and obesity where the focus should be on the specific situation and needs of women in Saudi Arabia.

Type two diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a global public health challenge, yet the socio-economic factors that contribute to this remain largely unexplored. This high burden of T2DM has profound economic and societal impact, particularly in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, where the oil-boom in the Arabic Gulf region has led to unprecedented growth and urbanisation. Saudi Arabia stands out as one of the countries with the highest prevalence of T2DM worldwide. Rapid socio-economic development in the Kingdom has resulted in lifestyle changes and concomitant changes in non-communicable disease epidemiology. Despite this, there are few national studies exploring the relationship between socio-economic factors and T2DM in Saudi Arabia. In this thesis I address this deficit by investigating the association between education level and the prevalence, diagnosis, and control of T2DM in Saudi Arabia. I explore and evaluate the impact of demography and geographical location together with socio-economic, lifestyle, healthcare access and behavioural factors such as self-care on T2DM outcomes. I first explore the association between education level and T2DM prevalence in Saudi Arabia and show an inverse association. The prevalence of T2DM is elevated among groups with low education level, together with those who are older, obese, and lived in Southern region. Additionally, the findings support projections in which the prevalence of T2DM continues to increase up to 2030. I then investigate individuals with diagnosed T2DM and analyse the association between education level and other risk factors on the diagnosis of T2DM. These analyses confirm that age and low household income are highly associated with achieving diagnosis of T2DM. Based on these findings, I then develop two prediction models for undiagnosed diabetes and pre-diabetes by considering education level and socio-economic factors. Development of the prediction models established that age, administrative region, and body mass index are the three main predictors of undiagnosed diabetes, although gender and hypertension also emerged as predictors for the compound outcome of undiagnosed diabetes or pre-diabetes. In the final analysis, I investigate whether education level is associated with achieving control of diabetes through interaction with health-care access and self-care factors. Administrative region, prescribed diet and adherence to medication emerged as key predictors of controlled diabetes. The association with administrative region reflected differences in patterns of T2DM management relating to medication and behavioural modification interventions. My findings indicate that T2DM management forms vary between regions and that the success of lifestyle management approaches is influenced by patients' socio-economic characteristics. The work described in this thesis establishes that education level is associated with the prevalence of diagnosed T2DM. However, among other socio-economic factors, administrative region stands out as a significant predictor of diagnosed T2DM, undiagnosed T2DM and achieving effective control of T2DM. These findings have important implications for primary prevention of T2DM in Saudi Arabia through population approaches, especially in poorer or more deprived groups. They inform strategies to improve the early diagnosis of T2DM in such groups and suggest approaches to gain better glycaemic control in individuals with diagnosed disease. A combination of these two approaches will prevent complications and improve the quality of life for patients with T2DM.

Medication use during pregnancy involves inherent risks, necessitating the recognition of community pharmacists (CPs) as essential providers of safe and effective pharmaceutical care. In response to the widespread availability of CPs, the Saudi healthcare system has implemented diverse strategies to establish a network of care that interconnects community pharmacies and public health clinics. Owing to the prevalent use of medications among pregnant Saudi women, CPs play a crucial role in providing patient education and counseling to this vulnerable population. Therefore, the study aimed to explore the attitudes and practices of CPs toward the risks associated with medication use during pregnancy. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in the Qassim region of Saudi Arabia between January and April 2019. A total of 170 CPs were approached from the six governorates of the Qassim region, with 150 agreeing to participate and completing the survey, resulting in an 88.2% response rate. The CPs in this study demonstrated awareness of the potential adverse effects of teratogenic drugs, aligning with the guidelines outlined by the World Health Organization (WHO). In addition, the importance of continuous professional development (CPD) was emphasized, highlighting the need for more specific training related to maternal care. Access to reliable drug information resources in community pharmacies has emerged as a crucial factor for enabling evidence-based recommendations for pregnant women. This study sheds light on the attitudes and practices of CPs in Saudi Arabia, providing valuable insights into their role in mitigating medication risks during pregnancy. The findings underscore the importance of ongoing professional development and the necessity of robust drug information resources within community pharmacies to ensure the delivery of optimal care for pregnant women. Keywords: community pharmacists, medication safety, antenatal medication use, attitude, practices, Qassim, Saudi Arabia. https://doi.org/10.55463/issn.1674-2974.50.11.7

Abstract Background COVID-19 pandemic led to unprecedented healthcare gaps and challenges linked to COVID-19 pandemic induced constraint on domestic mosquito vector and vector control programs leading to increase in vector-borne diseases public health burden. The study evaluate gender and age linked the increasing Aedes mosquito vector and Dengue virus fitness during COVID-19 pandemic response, in order to provide evidence-based policy decision and priority on integrated vector-borne diseases management with COVID-19 response interventions in Jeddah municipalities, Saudi Arabia. Methods A cross-sectional, retro/prospective and analytic increase mosquito risk factors and cases prevalence study was conducted to guide ongoing field mosquito surveillance and integrated vector control interventions during and post COVID-19 response and recovery interventions in Jeddah municipalities, Saudi Arabia Results There were marked but not statistically significant fluctuations in the number of monthly confirmed dengue cases during both periods. The highest number of monthly confirmed cases before the pandemic was reported in June 2019 (205 cases) and January 2019 (247 points). Similarly, the first peak during the pandemic was recorded in June 2020 (274 cases), whereas the highest number was documented in April 2021 (311 cases). Monthly gender-based trend of dengue cases before and during the COVID-19 pandemic showed that males were the most affected over the study period as compared to the females. During Covid-19, the trend is increasing with peak over 150 cases in June 2020 and April/May 2021during COVID-19. Age-stratified variations of dengue cases reveals that more cases were during the age range of 15–45 and few above 45 years old with peak precovid recorded in June and December 2019 with over 150 cases recorded. We documented a rise in dengue cases amongst local Saudi with a surge from April to the peak over 100 dengue cases in July 2020, but lesser that non Saudi cases with a surge during the same period and peak over 170 dengue cases in 2020. Conclusions To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study documented on the impact of gender and age linked the increasing Aedes mosquito vector and Dengue virus fitness during COVID-19 pandemic response interventions in Saudi Arabia. There is an urgent need to harnessing evidence-decisions on integrated vector-borne diseases surveillance and integrated vector management policies, with COVID-19 response interventions including vaccination coverage and effectiveness in Jeddah municipalities, Saudi Arabia

Middle East respiratory syndrome - Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) -- is a novel coronavirus that has caused a number of community-acquired cases and health care associated outbreaks in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as well as sporadic cases in other countries, especially in the Middle East. The evidence to date links MERS-CoV cases with exposure to camels, including camel products or to probable or confirmed human cases of MERS-CoV. It typically presents as an acute respiratory illness and is associated with a 35% mortality rate. Based on available information at this time, the current risk to Canadians for acquiring MERS-CoV infections is considered low. However, the International Health Regulations Committee concerning MERS-CoV has cautioned that the upsurge of cases seen this past spring (2014) may be predictive of an increase in cases related to the Hajj - an annual pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia that took place in early October 2014. Although the overall risk is low, the Public Health Agency of Canada and its National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) in close collaboration with provincial and territorial partners, the Canadian Public Health Laboratory Network (CPHLN) and infection prevention and control experts have developed a number of preparedness guidance documents and protocols to address the risk of an imported case of MERS-CoV in Canada.

Background: Total knee arthroplasty is a surgical procedure used to address knee conditions, including osteoarthritis, that cause persistent pain and impaired joint function. While total knee arthroplasty is effective, misconceptions and knowledge gaps exist among the general public, particularly in Saudi Arabia. Methods: This cross-sectional study, conducted in Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia, utilized an online survey to assess public perception of total knee arthroplasty. A questionnaire was developed, validated, and administered to participants aged 18 and above with a history of chronic knee pain. Data were analyzed for associations between knowledge and perception scores and sociodemographic factors. Results: Out of 704 participants, the majority exhibited poor knowledge (74.1%) of total knee arthroplasty. Factors influencing knowledge included age, education, income, knowing someone who had total knee arthroplasty, hearing about total knee arthroplasty, receiving total knee arthroplasty information, and awareness of total knee arthroplasty indications. Sociodemographic characteristics such as gender, marital status, and perceptions about total knee arthroplasty prevalence did not significantly impact knowledge scores. Conclusion: This study reveals a significant knowledge and perception gap among the public in Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia, regarding total knee arthroplasty. Tailored education initiatives for patients with chronic knee pain are urgently needed to dispel misconceptions and provide accurate information about total knee arthroplasty. Collaborative efforts between policymakers, healthcare providers, and public health authorities are essential for improving public understanding, enhancing healthcare decision-making, and reducing the burden on healthcare systems.

Background: Human brucellosis is a zoonotic infectious disease transmitted from domesticated animals to humans. It remains a major public health problem in Saudi Arabia where 7% of the population still maintains a nomadic life style with domestication of animals. Objectives: This study aims to discover the prevalence of brucellosis and Brucella among patients attending a district government hospital in Majmaah, kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Period: 2 years (from 1st February 2016 to 31st January 2018). Design: Cross sectional descriptive. Settings: King Khalid Hospital, Al Majmaah, Saudi Arabia. Materials (Patients) & Methods: Total 1098 serum samples from the patients with clinical suspicion of brucellosis were screened with rapid slide agglutination test (crescent diagnostics Jeddah) for Brucella antibodies and later confirmed by Serum Tube Agglutination Test. Main Outcome Measures: The result of our study showed that the prevalence of brucellosis among patients attending our study is 9.1%. Results: 100 individuals were found to be seropositive with titers ≥1:160. The result of our study showed that the prevalence of brucellosis among patients attending our study is 9.1%The Majority of the patients presented to the medical OPD and orthopedic unit of the hospital. The prevalence of disease in males was found to be higher as compared to females in the current studied group. The age group 21- 40 years, was found to be far more susceptible to this infection. Majority presented with fever and musculoskeletal complaints. The total seroprevalence rate calculated for the patients attending our hospital is 26.50%. Conclusion: Frequent serological surveillance should be carried out in areas that are endemic. Screening of risk groups, imported animals and household members of active brucellosis must be undertaken. This is a crucial epidemiological move allowing for timely diagnosis and control of disease. Limitations: Our prevalence rate represents a specific segment of the population (i.e., those attending the hospital) and not thegeneral population.

Background: iron deficiency anemia among mothers is a serious public health issue.Studies found a link between adverse events and iron supplementation compliance during pregnancy. Objectives: to assess the compliance to iron supplementation among pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and its determinants and barriers. Methods: a cross-sectional study was done in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia who attended primary health care centers (PHCCs) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. An online questionnaire wasused to collect data about womens demographics, obstetric and gynecological history, prescribed iron supplements, womens awareness regarding iron deficiency anemia, compliance with iron/folate supplementation, and reasons for non-compliance. Results: 74.8% of females sometimes forget to take iron supplements, 54.1% reduced or stopped taking iron supplements without telling their doctor because they felt worse when taking them, and 63.5% sometimes forget to bring or take iron supplements when they leave home. The prevalence of low, medium and high compliance with iron supplement intake was 74.2%, 15.1%, and 10.7%, respectively, among the participants.Side effects (43.4%) and forgetting (32.1%) were the most common reasons for noncompliance. High compliance was significantly higher among participants over the age of 30, with a university education or higher, in the trimester, who had ≥ 5 antenatal visits, and who preferred iron supplements in tablet form. Conclusion: The low observed compliance among studied females emphasizes the importance of increasing communication for behavior change and counseling before or during antenatal care to improve adherence.

<h3>OBJECTIVE:</h3> To primarily describe both smoking pattern in the youth population and a comparison with the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS) in 2001-2002. <h3>METHODS:</h3> The standard 2-stage methodology and a cross-sectional design were used to select randomly a representative sample of intermediate schools, classes, and students from all regions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from January to June 2007. <h3>RESULTS:</h3> Comparing results with the 2001 GYTS, the prevalence of ever and current smoking, use of other tobacco products, and initiation of smoking by never smokers in the next year increased among males, but with improvement in the students9 knowledge and attitudes towards smokers. The second-hand tobacco smoke items were not distinguished, however, one or both parent smokers increased by 6% over 6 years. Media anti-smoking messages and awareness improved, however, the widespread display and proliferation of items with a cigarette brand logo on it, encourages participants to buy more cigarettes. Teaching hazards of smoking to students improved, however, the reasons why people of their age smoke were not discussed interactively. Females less than 18 years of age (minors) were not denied cigarette purchase compared to male participants of the same age. <h3>CONCLUSION:</h3> The National Tobacco Control Programs is apparently working effectively but differentially against smoking. The program needs to be evaluated systematically and accordingly and intensified further to reduce smoking among youths in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Abstract By late December 2019, incepted in Yuhang, China, COVID-19 started to affect the entire world, including Saudi Arabia. The outbreak and effect of this highly infectious disease can be bio-statistically objectively measured and evaluated in terms of infection, hospitalization and loss of life as the disease has already claimed the lives of more than 7500 Saudis and residents. The impact of the disease on the Saudi public health, economy, education and the general workplace has been tremendous over the early stages of the outbreak. This bio-statistical study aimed to develop a statistical and deterministic analysis of the spread of COVID-19 within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The statistical analysis and subsequent model was based on data collected over a period of seven hundred and twenty six days and the fitting of this data using some statistical distributions to measure the averages for deaths, recovered and infected patients. The resultant simple SIR mathematical model in this study is based on the concept of piecewise modeling, specifying the intervals to define borderlines of the spread of the disease on Saudi lands. The developed prediction model could be used to assist the government and the concerned healthcare providers and personnel to plan for the impending situation and to make sure that they are well prepared to address the pandemic and any other related medical conditions.

The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is growing among adults and children. Extensive data is available regarding the pattern and frequency of CAM used in adults in Saudi Arabia, but limited data is available for children. This study aims to examine the level of knowledge, attitude, and practice about the use of CAM in the pediatric population in Saudi Arabia.A cross-sectional descriptive study on the use of CAM in children was carried out in the general population of Saudi Arabia. Data was collected by non-probability consecutive sampling technique through an online-based questionnaire from 132 participants. In addition, data analysis was done using IBM's Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The data collected consisted of socio-demographic details, knowledge, attitude, and practice of CAM in children.CAM was reported in all 132 participants (100%), with 45% (N=59) using it without informing their physicians. The mean age of the children was 17 months old, 55.3% (N=73) children were males, and 44.7% (N=59) were females. The most common form of CAM used was herbal medicine, 91% (N=120), while alternative medicine was used in 16.7% (N=12) of the children. Honey was the most used herb (68.2%, N=90), followed by anise (65.2%, N=86), Zamzam water (holy water) (59.1%, N=78), and olive oil (56.8%, N=75).The use of CAM is very common for children in the general population of Saudi Arabia, with herbal medication being the most common. This constitutes a dire need to regulate this field and provide enough information for the public and health care practitioners to provide the best health care. In addition, future awareness campaigns are needed to bridge the communication gap between parents and physicians and provide better information about the benefits and safety of CAM use.

<h3>Background</h3> Approaches to sexual health education diverge between promoting abstinence-until-marriage and supporting harm reduction (HR). The latter acknowledges that adolescence is a period of risk taking and aims to reduce the harms of STIs and unplanned pregnancies. In Saudi Arabia, there is no sexual health education and the sensitivities surrounding sex-related issues in a country that rules exclusively by Islamic laws, creates challenges for the provision of sexual and reproductive health information. This study aimed to explore the views of key stakeholders in Saudi Arabia on the relative merits of adopting an abstinence-only approach or HR strategies within a proposed sexual health education program and to examine which approaches are likely to be feasible in Saudi Arabia, and by extension in other Muslim communities around the world. <h3>Methods</h3> In this qualitative study, semi-structured interviews with 28 participants were conducted. Four different groups were targeted, policymakers (n=6); healthcare providers (n=10); teachers (n=9); and religious scholars (n=2). <h3>Results</h3> The need for sexual health education for adolescents was universally acknowledged by participants. Stakeholders’ views spanned a spectrum rather than fitting in clear cut categories of adopting abstinence vs HR strategies. The concept of harm was conceptualized, contrary to the conventional public health discourse, as strictly health-related but focused on social and religious harm. Those who opposed HR strategies believed that these messages can encourage premarital sexual activity and hence damage traditional family norms. While those who leaned towards adopting HR strategies viewed it as a necessary step in preventing infectious harm from pervading the rest of society. Opinions varied on who should formulate the program and in what context it should be delivered. <h3>Conclusion</h3> The results showed that understanding the local interpretations of harm and HR strategies is vital to formulating a culturally sensitive sexual health education program that can expand beyond international public health definitions and messaging.

Introduction: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are major public health concerns around the world. This study describes the epidemiology of reported STI cases from 2005 to 2012 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Methodology: The annual registry was the main source of data as reported by healthcare providers. Case definitions were based on positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies detectable by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and confirmed by western blot test for HIV cases. The definitions of other STIs were based on published Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) definitions. Results: During the study period, 68,886 new cases were reported, with nongonococcal urethritis being the highest STI (25.4) per 100,000 population (25.4), followed by trichomoniasis (9.1), HIV (7), human papillomavirus (HPV) infection (2.9), and syphilis (1.3). The cases included nongonococcal urethritis (n = 35,613; 51.7%), trichomoniasis (n = 12,679; 18.4%), gonococcal urethritis (n = 3,006; 4.4%), syphilis (n = 1,769; 2.6%), HIV (n = 9,843; 14.3%), genital warts (n = 4,018; 5.8%), genital herpes (n = 1,508; 2.2%), and chancroid (n = 450; 0.7%). Saudi contribution to HIV cases increased from 28.9% in the preceding decade to 43.5% in the current study. Conclusions: Nongonococcal urethritis, trichomoniasis, and HIV were the most commonly reported STIs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Abstract Background Although epilepsy has been acknowledged as an illness since ancient time, the public attitude toward epilepsy has not changed drastically due to the lack of appropriate information. This study aims to determine the public perceptions of epilepsy in five main regions of Saudi Arabia. Methods In this cross-sectional questionnaire-based study, Saudi citizens living in the major cities of the five main regions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (the central, eastern, western, northern, and southern regions) completed the survey that included 27 questions about epilepsy awareness. Results A total of 7118 individuals from five regions participated in the survey: 6749 (94.8%) of respondents were Saudi, and 369 (5.2%) were non-Saudi. Of the 7118 respondents, 6897 respondents (96.9%) did not have epilepsy, and 3378 respondents (47.5%) stated that they had never witnessed an epileptic episode. In addition, 3749 (52.7%) respondents incorrectly attributed epilepsy to non-neurologic conditions, and 4865 (68.3%) respondents had an overall negative attitude toward people with epilepsy (PWE). They expressed objections to their child associating with PWE (2002; 28.1%) or their close relatives marrying PWE (3192; 44.8%), some believed that PWE are inferior (402; 5.6%), refused to hire a PWE (1126; 15.8%), and would feel discomfort around PWE (724; 10.3%). In addition, 2025 individuals (28.4%) believed that the health of PWE deteriorates over time; 1485 individuals (20.9%) believed that PWE get sick more often than others; 181 individuals (2.5%) believed that epilepsy could be transmitted; and 568 individuals (8.0%) believed that epilepsy could progress to malignant disease. Conclusions In Saudi Arabia, there is a substantial need for increasing the awareness and improving education on epilepsy in order to reduce stigma and increase the understanding of epilepsy. Such efforts could help improve the lives of people afflicted with the disease and ultimately contribute to better health outcomes for the entire community.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) has a major impact on women's health worldwide. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is no exception, where it is considered the most common malignancy, embodying the second leading cause of cancer deaths after lung cancer. In today's world, people are more health conscious and more aware of different medical specialties. Despite the tremendous advancements in education, there seems to be a limited knowledge among the public regarding this issue. Objective: The present study aims to assess the breast cancer awareness and its screening measurements among the common population. This study also evaluates the knowledge about Breast Self-Examination (BSE) and their opinion about its effectiveness in early diagnosis of breast cancer to detect the relationship between awareness and socioeconomic status. Methodology: This study is a cross-sectional prospective study with a sample of 202 female participants evaluated by questionnaire given to female attending lecture about breast cancer awareness in October 2018 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The selection of participants was based on the simple random sampling method. Results and conclusion: The present study showed little awareness of BSE, mammography screening and clinical breast examination. However, breast cancer awareness was found to be quite optimal suggesting increasing knowledge of breast cancer awareness among Saudi females.

The Healthy School (or Health-Promoting School as a term used by WHO and other countries) is a whole-school approach to promoting health in a school setting. Healthy Schools and Health-Promoting Schools frameworks extend around the globe are important strategies that provide opportunities to improve the health of children and adolescents and to tackle health inequalities in the population. Two decades since the Healthy Schools framework was advocated in Saudi Arabia. This paper sets out to review relevant literature and reports related to Healthy Schools in Saudi Arabia. Very few studies have been conducted to assess the Health Schools framework. The findings showed that there is a gap between the ideal concepts of the Healthy Schools framework and current implementation. Promoting healthy diet and physical activity as a starting point for wider implementation. Providing financial resources and ongoing capacity-building opportunities for the teachers and associated school staff. Collaboration between the health and education sectors is required to provide a prolonged framework for monitoring and evaluating the healthy schools outcomes.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) was identified in the Chinese city of Wuhan in 2019. COVID-19 is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and it is now recognized that SARS COV-2 may infect and spread among humans. During the pandemic situation, nurses and health care workers (HCWs) played a vital role in handling the infected patients and this study was carried out in Jazan city of Saudi Arabia among the nurses. The purpose of this study was to document nurses’ knowledge, skills, challenges, and information on the COVID-19. In this questionnaire-based study, we have enrolled 296 nurses based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The 296 nurses involved in this study has shared their knowledge, experience, skills and challenges in handling the infected patients with COVID-19. Initially, 34.1% of nurses was expecting COVID-19 virus will be controlled by vaccine. The majority of nurses, 54.7%, were convinced that antibiotics could control the illness. In this study results, 97% of nurses were aware of COVID-19 symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, and shortness of breath. Around 96.3% of the nurses were aware of the risk of chronic diseases in the elderly population, which may be at risk of COVID-19 infection. The 78.7% nurses believed that mask can protect from the infecting from COVID-19 and ~94% of the nurses believed that avoiding of gatherings at public places is the best method to control the virus. The majority of the 97% of nurses believed that isolation is the best method to control the COVID-19 virus in an infected person. Nurses played a critical role in the treatment of COVID 19 infected patients in Saudi Arabia, as nurses and HCWs were at risk of becoming asymptomatic carriers due to their role in disease transmission. This study recommends the nurses, HCWs and all the residents of Saudi Arabia to take the vaccine to prevent the spread of COVID-19 as new strains are developing in the global population

Abstract Background COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed people’s lifestyles and daily routines around the world. This study aimed to investigate changes in daily step counts – as an indicator of physical activity – before, during, and after the pandemic among university students in Egypt and Saudi Arabia and to identify regional and gender factors that may have influenced physical activity during these periods. Methods A total of 1273 university students from Egypt (Assiut University and Zagazig University) and Saudi Arabia (Taif University, King Faisal University, and Imam AbdulRahman Bin Faisal University) provided valid data on their daily step counts recorded by a smartphone application (iPhone Health App) from January 2019 to December 2021. The data was divided and averaged based on three periods: the pre-pandemic year (January to December 2019), the first pandemic year (January to December 2020), and the second pandemic year (January to December 2021). Results The results showed a significant decrease in daily steps from pre-pandemic to the first pandemic year, followed by an increase in the second pandemic year. However, daily step counts did not fully recover to pre-pandemic levels in male Egyptian and marginally in male Saudi participants. In both nationalities, female participants did not show a significant difference in daily steps between the pre-pandemic and second-pandemic years. Female Egyptian participants had significantly lower daily step counts than male Egyptian participants, and a gender difference in daily steps was also observed in Saudi female participants in the pre-pandemic and the second pandemic year but not during the first pandemic year. Conclusion These findings outline the need for strategies in Egypt and Saudi Arabia to promote physical activity and reduce sedentary behavior, especially among young women, to mitigate the negative consequences of COVID-19 and meet physical activity guidelines.

Background: As a result of the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) at the beginning of 2020, many governments, including Saudi Arabia, have suspended operations in many agencies. Most of the dermatologists have restricted their practice, including cosmetic procedures, to ensure social distancing. On May 7, 2020, Saudi authorities have reduced the restriction of COVID-19 virus preventative measures, allowing clinics to start accepting patients with following the ministry of health protocols. Purpose: To evaluate the public's perception and willingness to undergo cosmetic procedures during the COVID-19 outbreaks in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was carried out among the individuals who lack typical symptoms of COVID-19 infection in Saudi Arabia. A self-designed web-based questionnaire was developed; content face validity and a pilot study were done. The questionnaire was distributed electronically from May 8 to May 31, 2020. Results: A total of 656 individuals who lack typical symptoms of COVID-19 infection were included in this analysis. Only 10.5% of participants expressed their will to do cosmetic procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic. More than 90% of the participants believed that the COVID-19 pandemic was either somewhat serious (52.9%) or very serious (38.7%). The willingness to do cosmetic procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic remained unaltered when the price was discounted (P < 0.001), and when infection control measures were ensured (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the practice of cosmetic dermatology. Fear of transferring the infection to a beloved home member is the main reason to avoid these procedures. Generating well-structured safety guidelines to decrease the risk of this unusual virus transmission in dermatology practice and creating financial incentives may help increase the public willingness to do these cosmetic procedures during this pandemic.

Dear Editor,With the intense crowding in mass gatherings such as Hajj,there is a high risk of acquisition of airborne in-fections with the potential for its transmission in the pilgrims’country of origin(Memish Z A,et al.,2014).The risk of importing serious infections from Hajj has escalated since the emergence of the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus(MERS-CoV)in Saudi Arabia and other neighbouring countries from September2012.Active surveillance of Hajj pilgrims in 2012 and 2013

Abstract Background Many high-income countries have made significant progress towards achieving universal health coverage. Nevertheless, out-of-pocket (OOP) health expenditure continues to undermine the effectiveness of the universal healthcare system. In Saudi Arabia, due to the overburdened free public health services, many people opt for alternative healthcare services, risking high OOP payments. The presence of chronic illness further exacerbates this situation. However, there is limited evidence on the extent of the gap in OOP health expenditure between the chronically and non-chronically ill and the associated drivers contributing to this gap. The aim of this study was to assess inequalities in relative OOP health expenditure, estimated as the percentage of income spent on healthcare, between the chronically and non-chronically ill in Saudi Arabia and their associated drivers. Methods Data from 10,785 respondents were obtained from a national cross-sectional survey conducted in Saudi Arabia as part of the 2018 Family Health Survey. Inequalities in relative OOP health expenditure were measured using concentration indices and curves. A Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition analysis was used to assess the differences in relative OOP health expenditure between the chronically and non-chronically ill. Results The results showed that the chronically ill experience a higher financial burden due to healthcare services in absolute costs and relative to their income compared to the non-chronically ill. In addition, there was higher pro-poor inequality (–0.1985) in relative OOP health expenditure among the chronically ill compared to that (–0.1195) among the non-chronically ill. There was a 2.6% gap in relative OOP health expenditure among the chronically and non-chronically ill, of which 53.8% was attributable to unexplained factors, with explained factors accounting for the 46.2% difference. Factors that significantly contributed to the overall gap (i.e. both explained and non-explained factors) included employment status, insurance status, self-rated health, and periodic check-ups. Conclusion This study underscores the high financial burden due to OOP payments among the chronically ill and the existence of pro-poor inequalities. In addition, there is a significant gap in relative OOP health expenditure between the chronically and non-chronically ill, which is mainly attributable to differences in socio-economic characteristics. This indicates that the existing financial mechanisms have not been sufficient in cushioning the chronically ill and less well off in Saudi Arabia. This situation calls for health policymakers to integrate a social safety net into the health financing system and to prioritize the disadvantaged population, thereby ensuring access to health services without experiencing financial hardship.

A health information system or an electronic medical record system (HIS/EMR) is a centralized electronic record system that stores all patient health information and support the main functions. The adoption rates of such systems among hospitals in Saudi Arabia in general are still low. In Alahsa city, still most hospitals use paper-based patient records. This city is one of the largest cities in Saudi Arabia in terms of population. However, until this time the HIS/EMR have not been adopted in all public hospitals, whereas managing a large amount of patient records is challenging. This research study attempts to identify the barriers to the adoption of HIS/EMR in public hospitals in Alahsa city as perceived by physicians and other workers in these hospitals. The research also identifies factors influencing the acceptance of such systems. This research uses a quantitative research model consisting of constructs related to health information systems barriers and acceptance and impact. The model is validated by cross sectional survey questionnaire sample data collected from two public hospitals in Alahsa city. The study found that the technical barriers are perceived as main barriers to adopt HIS/EMR. The perceived acceptance driving factors of such system are performance expectancy and effort expectancy and user attitude.

Background: Healthcare workers are burdened by the clinical diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 and public prevention. Many occupational factors such as high expectations, shortage of time, lack of skills, and social support can lead to stress. The objective of this study is to investigate the psychological impact of COVID- 19 on health workers in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional study with a self-administered online questionnaire was used to measure the psychological well-being of emergency room and critical care unit health professionals in Saudi Arabia. Results: The study included 120 individuals; multiple linear regressions indicated that the demographic variables sex and department had a significant influence on healthcare personnel&apos;s psychological well-being. This emphasizes the development of more effective treatment options for healthcare professionals, particularly those at risk for psychological distress. Conclusion: Psychological disorders were prevalent among Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and Emergency (ER) healthcare workers. The independent risk factors for these psychological disorders among ICU and ER healthcare workers were the male gender, being in the

Office workers spend most of their workdays sitting, which contributes to poor health outcomes. This thesis aimed to design, implement and evaluate a health promotion intervention to help office workers in Saudi Arabia reduce their sedentary behaviour and increase their physical activity. The intervention, named The SLIM (Sit Less, Impress and Motivate), resulted in a significant improvement in sedentary and physical activity behaviours. This research will support one of the main elements of the Saudi Government 2030 vision, by helping Saudis to adopt and maintain more physically active and healthy lifestyle.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic peaked, few studies have thereafter assessed the continued effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of healthcare workers.To determine the rate and predictors of self-reported symptoms of depression and anxiety among physicians at a public tertiary care teaching hospital in Saudi Arabia about 2 years after COVID-19 was declared a pandemic.This cross-sectional study was conducted from September 2021 to April 2022 and targeted all physicians working at King Fahd Hospital of the University, Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia. Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and General Anxiety Disorder-7 were used to elicit self-reported data regarding depression and anxiety, respectively. In addition, sociodemographic and job-related data were collected.A total of 438 physicians responded, of which 200 (45.7%) reported symptoms of depression and 190 (43.4%) of anxiety. Being aged 25-30 years, female, resident, and reporting reduction in work quality were factors significantly associated with both anxiety and depression. Female gender (AOR = 3.570; 95% CI = 2.283-5.582; P < 0.001), working an average 9-11 hours/day (AOR = 2.130; 95% CI = 1.009-4.495; P < 0.047), and self-perceived reduction in work quality (AOR = 3.139; 95% CI = 2.047-4.813; P < 0.001) were significant independent predictors of anxiety. Female gender (AOR = 2.929; 95% CI = 1.845-4.649; P < 0.001) and self-perceived reduction in work quality (AOR = 3.141; 95% CI = 2.053-4.804; P < 0.001) were significant independent predictors of depression.About half of the physicians reported symptoms of anxiety and depression. These findings are suggestive of the need for large-scale studies to determine the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of healthcare workers in Saudi Arabia.

A BSTRACT Purpose/Background: Patients and healthcare providers use online health information and social media (SM) platforms to seek medical information. As the incidence of cancer rises, the popularity of SM platforms has yielded widespread dissemination of incorrect or misleading information about it. In this study, we aimed to assess public knowledge about incorrect cancer information and how they perceive such information in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A nationwide survey was distributed in Saudi Arabia. The survey included questions on demographics, SM platform usage, and common misleading and incorrect cancer information. Results: The sample (N = 3509, mean age 28.7 years) consisted of 70% females and 92.6% Saudi nationals. Most participants had no chronic illness. One-third were college graduates and less than one-quarter were unemployed. Conclusions: Differences in level of knowledge about cancer emerged in association with different demographic factors. Public trust in health information on SM also led to being misinformed about cancer, independent from educational level and other factors. Efforts should be made to rapidly correct this misinformation.

Objective: The general population of South‐West Saudi Arabia is targeted to determine their knowledge,
attitudes, and practices toward the COVID-19 virus.
Method: A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a convenience sample of the general
Public in South-Western Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire was comprised of four sections: demographics,
knowledge, attitudes, and practices.
Results: The sample included 575 participants (57.4% male and 42.6% female). The scores revealed that 51.2%
of participants have sufficient knowledge, more than half of participants have positive attitudes, and 76.2%
demonstrate satisfactory practices toward the COVID-19 virus. Gender and age are significantly associated with
knowledge, attitudes, and practices (P < 0.05). The Ministry of Health is the main source for participants‟
information regarding the virus.
Conclusion: The global presence of the COVID-19 pandemic brings to light the urgent need to establish a
thorough awareness and preparedness program to limit the spread. The findings indicate that participants
possess good knowledge, positive attitudes, and satisfactory practices concerning the COVID-19 virus.
However, there are areas of concern where lack of knowledge and negative attitudes were noticed. Further
studies are recommended.

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

Background and objective Recently, influenza has emerged as a significant public health concern worldwide, including in Saudi Arabia. Vaccination against the flu is widely recognized as a crucial preventive measure to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with the virus. However, the uptake of flu vaccines among the general population in Saudi Arabia still remains low. In light of this, this study aimed to examine the determinants of influenza vaccine uptake in Saudi Arabia by using the Health Belief Model (HBM). Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted among adults living in all regions of Saudi Arabia by using an online self-administered questionnaire based on the HBM. The questionnaire inquired about demographics, knowledge about influenza, knowledge about vaccines, and beliefs/barriers. It was distributed via social media platforms, including WhatsApp, Twitter, and Instagram. IBM SPSS Statistics software version 29 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY) was used for statistical analyses, and both the Chi-square test and logic regression analyses were applied to determine associations between explanatory and response variables, with the level of significance set at p<0.05. Results This study enrolled a total of 1040 participants, and the majority were Saudi nationals (96.9%). Of note, 66.2% of the participants were males, and the rest were females. Most of the participants were employed by governmental institutions (42.0%), had bachelor's degrees (58.4%), had never worked in the health sector (70.2%), and earned above 10,000 Saudi riyals per month (62.1%). Over half (55.7%) of participants had taken the flu vaccine at the time of this study. Working in the healthcare sector was associated with increased flu vaccine uptake [adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 3.84, p<0.001]. The likelihood of getting the flu vaccines was greater among men (aOR: 1.38, p=0.027), and obesity was associated with lower flu vaccine uptake (aOR: 0.29, p=0.034). Having contact with people with flu, having had flu in the past, and experiencing severe flu complications (aOR: 4.71, p=0.029; aOR: 0.13, p=0.006; and aOR: 0.29, p=0.033, respectively) were significantly associated with the flu vaccine uptake among our study participants. Perceived potential risks of the flu vaccine were also associated with taking the flu vaccine (aOR: 0.213, p=0.042). There was a significant association between seeing an advertisement for the flu vaccine and the likelihood of taking the vaccine (aOR: 5.488, p=0.042). Conclusion This study found that certain sociodemographic factors are associated with flu vaccine uptake. These factors included contact with flu-infected individuals, past experiences with flu, perceived risks, and exposure to flu vaccine advertisements. Improving healthcare accessibility, conducting awareness campaigns, and implementing workplace initiatives are recommended to address the issues related to flu vaccine uptake.

I read with interest the paper by Herzallah et al on the first influenza pandemic of the 21st century.1 In agreement with previously published studies in Saudi Arabia,2,3 and worldwide,4,5 Al Hajjar and McIntosh6 addressed the usual age distribution of influenza A H1N1 infection. Infection was prevailing in children and young adults. The scarcity of reported infection in the elderly might reflect their protection owing to exposure to H1N1 strains before 1957.1 This peculiar age distribution might have implications in implementing suitable management plans and public health interventions.

Background: Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) is recognized as one of the most common preventable diseases related to perinatal and maternal deaths. Despite the high prevalence of the condition worldwide, research cites limited knowledge about the affected population of pregnant women in Saudi Arabia. The main aim of this study was to assess pregnant women’s knowledge of GDM and its implications for the mother and fetus. Methods and Materials: The study utilized an interview-based questionnaire-based cross-sectional study design that targeted pregnant women coming for antenatal care visits in public health care centers in Riyadh city. Results: One hundred and forty-three pregnant women participated. 35.5% of the population had adequate knowledge of GDM and its implications, 34.7% did not have enough understanding of the condition, and a further 29.8% were not aware of the complication. Knowledge about GDM was found to be statistically significant only with the number of pregnancies (p=0.03). Conclusion: Saudi pregnant women seem to have an inadequate knowledge scope of GDM and its implications to their health and those of their children. Specialized medical institutions and public health initiatives need to implement interventions to raise the awareness of the condition to help in earlier diagnosis and better management of the condition. Key words: Saudi pregnant women, knowledge, Gestational diabetes mellitus , Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Hajj (a pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia) is the epicenter of mass movement of millions of Muslims of enormous ethnic diversity. The huge attendance runs in figures unparalleled to any other universal mass congregation. People attending are exposed to extreme temperatures, crowds and congestion, which encourage spread of contagious diseases and occurrence of several other afflictions, besides, exacerbation of chronic health conditions. These eventualities necessitate emergency admissions. Government of Saudi Arabia provides meticulous health care to all the pilgrims. Several healthcare professionals are engaged to take care of any emergencies. Although, there is always the attendance of regular staff from emergency departments, but involving the final year paramedics in the routines of Hajj emergencies, became a novel initiative during 2011 Hajj. This scheme provided enormous practical experience to the students and hence, it is thought worthwhile to present some of their experiences and examine, if such visits can become a routine. The study was conducted at Mina Aljesir hospital. The student paramedics (a total of 14) belonging to the Emergency Services Program, College of Applied Medical Science, King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences were given the tasks of managing the different emergencies. During a period of seven days, the students had examined 3157 patients attending Mena hospital with complaints of different morbidities. It was a rewarding learning experience, which provided them with on hand skills' practice working as a team with highly competent health care providers. It is desirable that such visits and participation in attending to emergencies during Hajj becomes a part of the curriculum in different colleges of health specialties throughout the Kingdom.

Hajj, the Muslims ritual pilgrimage to Makkah in Saudi Arabia, is an annual and everlasting mass gathering event of more than two million persons. This ritual which takes 15 - 40 days is performed in a very crowding situation, involving a lot of outdoor movements and under a harsh environment. Public health surveillance, in particular for infectious diseases, is being carried out intensively but using routine methods depending on reported suspected cases from clinics. There is a clear demand for more real-time / near real-time notification of every suspected case. Early detection of priority events and situational awareness can be achieved via Syndromic Surveillance. This case study simulates the steps to be carried in developing a model of Syndromic Surveillance relevant to Hajj in Saudi Arabia. Using the ready collected data from health facilities, Syndromic Surveillance can be generated based on a logical algorithm to produce automated graphical output. The later will be used to monitor the epidemiological situation. This case study is designed for the training of both novice or advanced level field epidemiology trainees and other officials working at National or Regional Surveillance Departments. It can be administered in 3-4 hours. The case study provides the trainees with competencies in designing and developing electronic surveillance models, suitable to use when dealing with mass gatherings.

Background: Adequate biostatistics knowledge among healthcare professionals is imperative for understanding medical literature and practicing evidence-based medicine. This study assessed the basic and advanced knowledge in biostatistics and clinical research among healthcare workers at the King Fahad Medical City (KFMC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Methods: In this cross-sectional survey, data was collected from healthcare providers using a self-administered questionnaire, having questions related to demographics, biostatistics and clinical research. Data analysis was performed using statistical package SPSS 22.
Results: Of 194 participants (63 [32.5%] consultants, 52 [26.8%] residents, and 79 [40.7%] allied healthcare providers), 45.4% had positive attitude towards learning biostatistics. Only 35.1% correctly answered biostatistics and clinical research instrument-related questions. Half participants had low score, 33% had good score, and 18-19% had excellent score of basic and advanced knowledge of biostatistics and clinical research. The highest degree and number of years of experience in biostatistics after medical school graduation were significantly (χ2 (2)=16.589, p<0.001) associated with basic and advanced biostatistics knowledge scores.
Conclusion: Timely and painstaking training courses in biostatistics and clinical research are needed to improve the research standards in Saudi Arabia. Interested candidates should collaborated with statisticians to improve quality of their work and enhance their statistical skills.

Health education (HE) is important in improving public health. Globally, the evaluation HE quality is an important obstacle to better interventions, and wider acknowledgment of As a result, the purpose of this research is to improve the quality of health education services by providing a current perspective on current evidence on the effect of the HE national program in primary health care centres (PHCCs) through the following objectives: To calculate the frequency of receiving HE To measure patient satisfaction with the provided HE service. To assess patient self-control and its determinants in chronic diseases. An analytical cross section study targeted randomly selected 1590 Saudi PHCCs visitors from the main five regions in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Through exit interview using a pretested, well-structured questionnaire composed of four parts. The majority of participants were females (73.5%) and married (69.1). Of those, 64.9% had chronic diseases. The frequency of receiving HE was 51.1%. The health-educated patients significantly had better self-chronic disease control and an improvement in health status. The HECs shows a significant self-patient control of chronic diseases and patient satisfaction than HE services. HE interventions must be multidimensional to be effective in improving patients’ clinical outcomes through the increase and maintenance of healthy behaviours. Keywords: health education, Saudi patients, primary health care centres, Saudi Arabia

: Wet cupping (Hijama), a form of alternative medicine, is widely practiced in Middle Eastern countries, especially Saudi Arabia. Although considerable effort has been put into increasing public awareness about the safe and proper practice of wet cupping, studies on the attitudes, knowledge, and awareness levels of the Saudi Arabian public are lacking.: This study evaluated public attitudes toward the effectiveness, safety, and expected standards of practicing wet cupping.: This cross-sectional study was conducted using an online questionnaire and involved 909 complete responses. The respondents were Saudi adults with a mean age of 30.43 ± 11.4 years (males: 42.1%, females: 57.9%).: The study revealed that most participants believed that although wet cupping is a beneficial (84.6%), well-known form of alternative medicine (82.4%) without harmful side effects (63.9%), it is not suitable for treating all diseases (72.3%) or everyone (66.8%). Most participants prefer wet cupping to be done at specialized centers (84.6%) by practitioners with confirmed qualifications (88.6%) using valid and sterile instruments (88.9%). The main demographic factor influencing participant responses was age, which was associated with more positive perceptions. Female, single, college-educated, and middle-aged respondents had more cautious attitudes.: Our results indicate that Saudis support the use of wet cupping as an alternative medicine for select diseases and that individuals have adequate awareness of the practice's safety standards to avoid potential risks.
