Background Child maltreatment is an important public health issue, thus determining its prevalence is critical to recognize the extent of the problem and mandate efforts to combat child abuse. We aimed to investigate child maltreatment prevalence among special populations of young adults in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods We used the retrospective version of the International Society for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (ISPCAN) Child Abuse Screening Tool (ICAST-R). The survey included Saudi students of both genders aged between 18 to 24 years old and attending King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences (KSAU-HS). The questionnaire was provided electronically using Survey Monkey (Momentive Global Inc., San Mateo, CA, USA). Results A total of 713 students completed all sections of the questionnaire. The prevalence of any type of child maltreatment was estimated to be 42%. Physical abuse was the most prevalent (51.1%), followed by emotional abuse (49.9%), lack of protection and safety (38%), and sexual abuse (29.6%). The most common form of physical abuse was being hit or punched at 77.5% followed by 'beaten very hard with an object' at 58.8% while touching was the most common form of sexual abuse at 68.7%, and only 13.7% encountered penetrating form of sexual abuse. In comparison to female victims, male victims were more likely to be physically abused (odds ratio (OR)=1.5; confidence interval (CI)=1.1-2.0). Participants who lived with a single parent were more likely to be victims of a lack of protection and safety than those who lived with both parents (OR=1.9; CI=1.0-3.7). Most participants reported the abuse to occur after the age of nine years, and the perpetrator was the parents in 17.5% of cases. Conclusion Our findings demonstrated a high prevalence of child maltreatment among the young adult population in Saudi Arabia. It is vital to obtain more information on the prevalence and risk factors of child maltreatment in various populations and regions of Saudi Arabia to raise awareness and improve services for the victims of abuse.

Despite the dearth of allied health professionals in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), the demand for them has increased. Like any other geographic location, KSA, has its own pattern of diseases. Therefore, the curriculum of the health professionals should be appropriately designed to meet the health needs of hospitals and clinics.To demonstrate that changes in the curriculum of Allied (Applied) Health Sciences in KSA are necessary, and how these changes should be implemented. This paper also recommends that these changes must: (1) be based on the current needs of the community, (2) satisfy the health requirements of the Saudi community as well as the realities of its health practices. The Allied Health Colleges must: (1) undertake a long-term review of the curriculum, (2) ensure that the curriculum reform is continuous, (3) target faculty development, (4) target student evaluation.

Background: Cardiovascular diseases are one of the major health problems and the leading cause of mortality and disability globally. CVDs are responsible for 17.3 million deaths annually. Epidemiological data on the knowledge and attitude towards cardiovascular diseases and risk factors among the general population in Saudi Arabia is lacking; therefore, assessing the public awareness of cardiovascular risk factors and diseases is critical. Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study that was conducted among 1,172 participants from the general population in Hail city. Using a self-administered questionnaire, the sample was selected at random from 18-60 years olds. Results: A total of 1,172 participants responded to the survey. Participants who responded were mostly males (69.1%) and (30.7%) were females. Participants managed to recognize that coronary heart disease (74.5%), congenital heart disease (53.4%) ares types of CVDs. The overall knowledge on cardiovascular disease was poor with mean score of 12.24 out of 25.0. Conclusion: The available data indicate poor knowledge about cardiovascular diseases and associated risk factors;, it’s very important to establish more widespread awareness campaigns regarding CVDs awareness.

Background: Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) that causes MERS disease was first identified in 2012 in Saudi Arabia. Since that cases have spread within the Kingdom and some cases were transmitted to other Middle Eastern countries, Europe and the United States. However, KSA remains the epicenter of this serious respiratory infection that is associated with high mortality rates. This accentuates the public health concerns because Saudi Arabia receives millions of pilgrims from all over the world. Aims: This study investigated the attitudes and degree of awareness about MERS-CoV among Saudis of different ages. Patients and methods: Structured anonymous closed ended dichometous questionnaires were distributed to a large population of Saudi men and women of different ages. The questionnaires included questions aboutmodes of transmission of corona virus, clinical features, and outcome of infection, the impact of infection on pilgrimage, methods of prevention, the governmental efforts to combat spread, the availability of information. Results: Respondents were recruited for the study by random selection. Sixty-eight percent of respondents have good knowledge about the mode of transmission, 82% were aware about the seriousness of the infection, 51% responded positively to non availability of curative treatment or vaccine. 74% knew the modes of prevention and 93% believed that the government efforts were successful. Of the respondents, 41% considered MERS-CoV was a serious risk during Hajj or Umrah. Government media, the Saudi Ministry of health posters, radio and television, the social media was the main source of information among young adults and older participants. Conclusion: The findings suggest that the level of awareness about MERS-Cov in among this Saudipopulation is high and the level of perception reasonable. The governmental health education campaign is critical for increasing MERS-Cov infection awareness.

Abstract In September 2012, a novel coronavirus was isolated from a patient who died in Saudi Arabia after presenting with acute respiratory distress and acute kidney injury. Analysis revealed the disease to be due to a novel virus which was named Middle East Respiratory Coronavirus (MERS-CoV). There have been several MERS-CoV hospital outbreaks in KSA, continuing to the present day, and the disease has a mortality rate in excess of 35%. Since 2012, the World Health Organization has been informed of 2220 laboratory-confirmed cases resulting in at least 790 deaths. Cases have since arisen in 27 countries, including an outbreak in the Republic of Korea in 2015 in which 36 people died, but more than 80% of cases have occurred in Saudi Arabia.. Human-to-human transmission of MERS-CoV, particularly in healthcare settings, initially caused a ‘media panic’, however human-to-human transmission appears to require close contact and thus far the virus has not achieved epidemic potential. Zoonotic transmission is of significant importance and evidence is growing implicating the dromedary camel as the major animal host in spread of disease to humans. MERS-CoV is now included on the WHO list of priority blueprint diseases for which there which is an urgent need for accelerated research and development as they have the potential to cause a public health emergency while there is an absence of efficacious drugs and/or vaccines. In this review we highlight epidemiological, clinical, and infection control aspects of MERS-CoV as informed by the Saudi experience. Attention is given to recommended treatments and progress towards vaccine development.

Chronic Kidney Diseases (CKD) is becoming a major public health problem among elder in Saudi Arabia. The high prevalence of diabetes and hypertension is a main factor aggravating this problem. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of CKD and CKD risk factors among adult population in Hail region-Saudi Arabia. This is a cross sectional survey collected data from around 5000 Saudi from general population during the period from 2012 to 2013. Participants were selected from PHCs by simple random method. A team of physicians, paramedicals and medical students shared in data collection from 30 PHCs out of 105 in Hail Region, KSA, during a comprehensive survey for CKD. The GFR estimation was done for 775 individuals, among whom, 393/775 (50.7%) were found with impaired kidney function). Of the 393 persons with CKD, 2/775(0.6%), 7/775(0.9%), 97/775(12.5%), 206/775 (26.6%) and 81/775 (10.5%) were found with stage V, Stage IV, stage III and stage IV of the CKD, respectively. In almost every country the proportion of elder people is increasing as a result of longer life expectancy due to the development of Primary Health Care services. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a very common clinical problem in elderly patients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. CKD is a disease of older people, and simple treatments can slow the progression of the disease and improve quality of life.

According to recent epidemiological data, chronic kidney diseases (CKDs) affect approximately 10% of the global population. Like many countries, CKD is a significant public health issue in Saudi Arabia. The prevalence of CKD in Saudi Arabia is estimated to be around 4.5% of the adult population, with a higher prevalence in older age groups. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are a class of oral medications used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In addition to their glucose-lowering effects, SGLT2i have been shown to have beneficial effects on kidney function in patients with or without T2DM. Therefore, a Saudi task force gathered to develop an explicit, evidence-based consensus on SGLT2i use in CKD Saudi patients. A panel of 14 experts made up a task force. An initial concept proposal was obtained. The proposal was divided into several topics discussed on 24 May 2023. A literature review was carried out. The literature search was completed on 3rd June 2023. A drafted report was distributed to the entire panel. Approval of the recommendations required consensus, defined as a majority approval (i.e. above 75%). The recommendations were revised to accommodate any differences of opinion until a consensus was reached. Recommendations were finally formulated on 21st June 2023. Subsequently, the panel reviewed and discussed the supporting rationale of the revised recommendations. This article presents these practical recommendations.

Context: Illicit and performance-enhancing drug (PED) use is prevalent among athletes. Aims: We examine the prevalence of PED use among amateur athletes, identify the common characteristics and associated risk factors for illicit PED use and measure the perception and awareness among gym members regarding the safety and effects of illicit drug use. Settings and design: This cross-sectional study was conducted among adult male and female gym center attendees in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Methods and materials: Self-administered Arabic and English questionnaires were used for data collection. Statistical analysis used: SPSS version 26 was used to perform t- and chi-square tests. Results: This study included 379 participants, of whom 59.6% were male, 52.8% were between 26 and 35 years of age, and a majority of the participants had normal (47.5%) or overweight (40.9%) body mass index. Our study revealed a high prevalence (48.5%) of PED use among gym athletes in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Moreover, the true prevalence might have been higher due to the possibility of underreporting by some participants because of the sensitivity of the subject. Protein powder was the most commonly used type of PED. Of all the participants, 22.3% reported anabolic androgenic steroid use. Side effects of PEDs were observed in 19% of the study participants. Conclusion: The results of this study should encourage public health researchers and health advocates to design and implement behavioral interventions to educate the public on the benefits, risks, and contraindications of dietary supplements used by athletes to enhance their body performance. Key messages • Performance-enhancing drug (PED) use is prevalent among both professional and amateur athletes. • Gym athletes in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, report increasing PED use. • Side effects and negative health impacts are associated with illicit PED use. • Misinformation on the risks and benefits of PEDs is a major public health concern. • More efforts should be implemented in public awareness about the risk of using PED targeting younger populations.

Background: Over recent years, the Middle East, and especially Saudi Arabia, has faced multiple changes, including structural-demographic and economic shifts. This has led to massive changes in the population’s lifestyle, including more unhealthy diets and increases in physical inactivity. As a result, accelerating rates of chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are a major public health concern. Current diabetes care in Saudi Arabia focuses on increasing the awareness of patients through various approaches, mainly based on health education, which is found to be suboptimal and ineffective for improving long-term outcomes. This study aims to assess the feasibility and acceptability of using a client-centred approach called health coaching that supports, enables, and engages T2DM patients to take the central role of controlling their own conditions by developing new crucial skills. Methods: A mixed methods randomised controlled feasibility study of health coaching will be used. Participants (n = 30) are adults with T2DM with poorly controlled diabetes (A1C ≥7) who can read and write in Arabic. Eligible participants are randomly allocated to either an intervention or control group for 12 weeks. COM-B model and Behaviour Change Technique Taxonomy version 1 (BCTTv1) guide the intervention curriculum. Predetermined progression criteria will be used to determine whether to proceed to a larger trial or not. Outcomes will be measured at baseline and 3 months. The study’s primary aim is to assess the process of eligibility, recruitment, retention and completion rates, acceptability and suitability of intervention and the time to complete each procedure. The preliminary efficacy of health coaching is the secondary outcome that includes different measurements, such as HbA1c, blood pressure, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, weight, patients’ self-efficacy, and diabetes self-management. Discussion: This is the first study to explore the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of health coaching that used the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, Behaviour (COM-B) model and BCTTv1 as guidance to develop the intervention for adults with T2DM in Saudi Arabia. The findings of this study will be used to inform the larger RCT trial if it is shown to be feasible and acceptable.

In June 2018, Saudi Arabia finally put an end to its legal ban on women driving, opening the way for millions of new drivers to navigate across a country three times bigger than Texas. While the long-overdue policy shift provides relief to women who lacked freedom of mobility, the onset of so many new drivers has enormous consequences for transportation and the energy sector, as well as labor market participation and public health.

Background: It has been a short time since the last wave of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic began. The deaths were approximately 6.55M out of 618M confirmed cases. Although future pandemics are inevitable, specific measures could reduce these risks. This study is the first of its kind conducted on this topic in Saudi Arabia aimed at assessing the preparedness and response of the public toward future pandemics in the Qassim region. Methods: An analytical, cross-sectional study was conducted using a pre-validated questionnaire involving 1,200 individuals in the Qassim region, Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire was distributed among the general population in public places. Data entry and statistical analyses were performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software. Results: The results show that people suffered emotionally, psychologically, and economically during the pandemic. A large number of people have tested positive for COVID. They were not ready to stay in lockdown during any future pandemic as they had not yet recovered from the previous economic loss. Conclusion: This survey is a valuable tool for policymakers in public health. This study can help to strengthen the weaknesses of health centers and provide better facilities for people during future pandemics.

Background: For the last two decades, the number of women with breast cancer in Saudi Arabia increased steadily. Risk perceptions or an individual's perceived susceptibility to a threat are a key component of many health behavior change theories. Little is known about relationships between risk perceptions of breast cancer and performing preventive practices. 
 
 This descriptive study highlights the risk perception of breast cancer in relation to preventive interventions among females over 18 years old in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
 
 Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive correlational design. An online questionnaire was conducted with 500 participants aged 18 years and older. The questionnaire was self-administrated electronic questionnaire designed by using Google Forms and it gated broadcast through social media channels such as WhatsApp and twitter. 
 
 Results: The study emphasized a low risk perceptions about breast cancer and performing preventive practices. Positive correlation was found between female's risk perceptions and doing the mammogram screening.
 
 Conclusions: Findings will be helpful to use risk perception of breast cancer in the prediction of women adopting preventive measures.

Background: Antibiotics are a groundbreaking discovery that revolutionized the treatment of infectious diseases in both humans and animals during the 20th century. However, their overuse and misuse led to serious public health threats, causing widespread concern and significant social and economic consequences. Microorganisms have a natural ability to develop resistance to antibiotics over time through genetic mechanisms, which has further exacerbated the problem. Unfortunately, in the last two decades, there has been a dearth of new antibacterial substances discovered, which has only worsened the situation. Aim: This study aims to assess the awareness and knowledge of antibiotic resistance and risks of self-medication with antibiotics among the Aseer region population, Saudi Arabia 2023. Methods: An observational cross-sectional survey was conducted in Saudi Arabia targeting persons aged 18 to 80 years old living in the Aseer region, Southern of Saudi Arabia. The data were collected using a pre-structured questionnaire after an intensive literature review and expert's consultation. The questionnaire was distributed throughout the social medial channels. The study questionnaire was uploaded online till no more new cases participated and no new answers were obtained. Results: A total of 300 participants completed the study questionnaire. Participants' ages ranged from 18 to 80 years with a mean age of 31.5 ± 12.9 years old. Exactly 200 participants (66.7%) were females. As for the educational level, 209 (69.7%) had a university level of education. Two-hundred and three (67.7%) participants had an overall poor knowledge and awareness about antibiotic resistance and risks of self-medication. Also, 103 (34.3%) participants used antibiotics without prescription before and 100 (33.3%) used leftover antibiotics from a previous infection. Conclusion: In conclusion, the current study showed that nearly one out of three participants in the Aseer region had unprescribed antibiotics. Another unsafe practice was that the same percent used leftover antibiotics from a previous infection. As for participants' knowledge of antibiotic resistance, also one-third of the respondents had good knowledge about the issue.

In Saudi Arabia, vision screenings are usually carried out by school health units (SHUs) and are mandatory for all children enrolling in schools. However, these screenings can miss visual disorders that could lead to public health problems. The purpose of this study was to examine parent perceptions of the role of SHUs towards early detection of visual problems among male students in Qassim Province, Saudi Arabia. The objectives of this research were; (1) to critically identify the relationship between school health units and early detection of visual disorders, as well as the impact of school services and activities on early detection of eye problems from the perspective of students' parents, and (2) to provide recommendations for health policies that may help reduce the prevalence of ocular disorders among students. Descriptive statistics were used to analyses responses of 100 parents from ten schools in two chosen areas in Qassim Province, regarding the role of SHUs and school support, as factors perceived by students' parents associated with early detection of ocular disorders. The findings of the research indicated inequity in accessibility to the SHUs' facilities. Furthermore, there was a lack of vision screenings by a SHU. In addition, the role of the school was not supported in detecting eye problems earlier. This study generally found that vision screenings conducted by SHUs are still insufficient after more than three decades. Accordingly, it was recommended to increase knowledge about eye health care for students and their parents, and to establish health clinics in schools. DOI: 10.5901/mjss.2016.v7n4p198

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused major morbidity and mortality internationally. Most governments worldwide have enforced precautionary health measures such as social distancing, hand hygiene, and wearing gloves to limit the spread of this disease. In response to major health and economic stressors, individuals exhibit a range of different coping styles. Aim: The aim of this study is to identify coping strategies that are predictive of compliance with pandemic-related precautionary health behaviors in Saudi Arabia. Settings: A cross-sectional study was conducted online with a total of 1029 Saudi adult participants. Materials and Methods: The Brief Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced (COPE) questionnaire was administered as well as appraising the level of compliance with the Saudi Ministry of Health precautionary measures. Multiple regression analyses explored the associations between coping styles and precautionary health behavior compliance. Statistical Analysis: Multivariate multiple regression and linear regression analyses were used to analyze the data. Results: The active coping and religion Brief COPE subscales as well as age predicted compliance with all precautionary measures. The behavioral disengagement Brief COPE subscale predicted hand washing and social distancing while the substance use Brief COPE subscale and sex predicted wearing gloves. Conclusion: Compliance with COVID-19-related precautionary health behaviors is driven by different coping styles. Active coping and religion appeared to influence all three health behaviors which might guide public health officials in their efforts to develop effective public health campaigns, which further suggests the importance of involving the religious institutions in Saudi Arabia.

Background: Brucellosis is a serious zoonotic infectious disease. Humans contract the disease by coming into contact with infected animals or their products. In Saudi Arabia, brucellosis is considered to be an endemic disease, with an annual incidence of 15.34 per 100,000 population from 2003 to 2018. Because of the devastating consequences for human health, raising awareness is an essential component in preventing brucellosis. Our study aims to assess the knowledge, awareness, and attitudes regarding brucellosis among the residents of Taif City, Saudi Arabia. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional survey conducted in June-October 2022 targeted the population of Taif City, Saudi Arabia. The data were collected by an online questionnaire, which included questions on sociodemographic characteristics, awareness regarding brucellosis, behavior and attitude toward animals, and consuming animal-based products. Results: A total of 743 participants were included. The participants were 18-70 years old, 63.4% were females, and 79.4% had a university education. Only 450 participants answered yes to the first question: “Do you know about brucellosis or have you heard about it?” Therefore, they were asked to answer knowledge questions. It was found that out of 450 participants, 46.9% demonstrated a “poor” knowledge level. Participants aged 26-55 years old demonstrated significantly more “good” knowledge than the other age groups (p = 0.001). Males demonstrated significantly more “good” knowledge (30.6%) than females (14.9%) (p < 0.001). The practices and attitudes of animal breeder participants (16.2%) were satisfactory because more than half of them did not participate in the birth of animals (53.4%), 50.7% did not participate in the birth with abortion, and approximately 61% used gloves when taking care of animals. The practices were unsatisfactory because 53.4% of the participants reported that they “always” eat the meat of animals they keep, and 64.4% reported that they personally slaughter sheep or cows from the herd. Conclusion: Our study showed that most of the participants were aware of brucellosis; however, at the same time, the knowledge level regarding brucellosis was not satisfactory.

Middle East respiratory syndrome(MERS) is caused by MERS coronavirus(MERS-Co V). Most people who have been confirmed to have MERS-Co V infection develop severe acute respiratory syndrome, and the severe patients may progress to kidney failure resulting in death. MERS was first reported in Saudi Arabia in 2012, and So far, all the cases have been linked to over 20 countries in and near the Arabian Peninsula, which poses a great threat to global public health. Research progress of MERS is summarized in this article, in order to provide evidence for early prevention and control of the occurrence and prevalence of MERS.

Background: The studies regarding the public knowledge and awareness of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) among the general population in Saudi Arabia and other countries are limited or unavailable. Therefore, our study aims to assess the knowledge and awareness of the most common type of primary liver cancer (HCC) among the general population in Saudi Arabia. Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted at the University of Taif, Department of Medicine, to assess the public awareness regarding HCC risk factors, symptoms, methods of diagnosis, screening, and liver function among the Saudi population in 2021. Data were collected using an online questionnaire using the SurveyMonkey website. Results: A total of 1,028 respondents participated in the study by answering an online questionnaire. Most of the respondents were female (71.1%) between the ages of 18 and 29 years (79.8%), had a university degree (70.1%), were nonhealthcare workers (67.4%), and were from Mecca Province (56.2%). We found that 77.2% of the participants reported knowing the functions of the liver. Considering HCC, 46.4%, 19.6%, 25.3%, and 45.3% reported that they had knowledge considering HCC, its symptoms, risk factors, and screening tests, respectively. In general, we found that 14.2% of the participants had a high level of knowledge about HCC, while 85.8% had a low, inadequate level of knowledge. Moreover, we found that high knowledge was associated with the female gender, high educational level, older age, and working in healthcare provinces. Conclusion: The findings in this study indicate poor knowledge regarding HCC in the general Saudi population.

Background: Prevalence of non-communicable diseases is increasing in developing and non-developing countries though disproportionately. A particular category of high-risk population comprises of millions of expatriate workers in the Saudi Arabia, who are prone to many common health problem including non – communicable diseases such as diabetes mellitus and hypertension.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess the risk factors that play a significant role in causing non-communicable diseases (hypertension and diabetes mellitus) among immigrant workers.
Materials and Methods: The risk factors data was collected from 120 (170) expatriate workers (response rate=70.6%) staying in two residential compounds. Expatriate workers were asked to fill in a pre – tested, structured and close-ended questionnaire to evaluate the risk factors. In addition, we measured the BP and BMI by using weight scale, measuring tape, and mercury sphygmomanometer.
Results: The results showed that expatriate workers had generally acceptable quality of life where they experienced numerous modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors of developing HTN and DM. 95.5 % ate all types of food without any consideration. 21.7 % of them were above the normal weight. 62.5 % were sleeping less than 7 hours, which increased the stress level.
Conclusion: Expatriate workers have good quality of life in Saudi Arabia. However, prevalence of modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for developing HTN and DM is considerable. Primary preventive measures need to be inculcated to reduce it to a level where it ceases to be a public health problem.

Introduction: In Saudi Arabia, over 154,000 people were infected with coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Unfortunately, until now, there are no vaccinations or effective drugs available, so only public health interventions such as physical distancing and hygiene measures in addition to targeted testing followed by isolation and quarantine measures are available. Objective: This study aims to describe the measures that are undertaken by Saudi population to avoid COVID-19 infection in Saudi Arabia. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional using internet-based survey. The survey was adapted from the previous study and from the WHO recommendations for COVID-19 prevention and control. The data included sociodemographic characteristics, level of attention, preventive measures taken by participants, and practice toward curbing the COVID-19 epidemic. Results: The majority of participants’ responded that their attention to the COVID-19 epidemics was very high to high (81.08%) while no one rated their attention at very low. To protect their families or friends, the respondents were mainly persuaded them to stay at home as much as possible (86%) and told them to avoid large gatherings (72.73%). Regarding the participants’ confidence in curbing the COVID-19 epidemic, about 73.47% of the participants were confident (strongly confident or confident). Conclusion: The public followed the hygiene recommendations of health authorities very well but still more education is still needed on some measures to prevent the spreading of the infection specially using the online education to enhance the public awareness about COVID-19.

Over 25 000 pilgrims from the UK visit Saudi Arabia every year for the Umrah and Hajj pilgrimages. The recent outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in South Korea and the continuing reports of MERS-CoV cases from Saudi Arabia highlight the need for active surveillance for MERS-CoV in returning pilgrims or travellers from the Middle East. Public Health England Birmingham Laboratory (PHEBL) is one of a few selected UK public health laboratories responsible for MERS-CoV screening in travellers returning to the UK from the Middle East who present to hospital with severe respiratory symptoms. The results of the PHEBL MERS-CoV screening and surveillance over the past 3 years is presented.UK travellers/pilgrims who returned from the Middle East and presented to a hospital with respiratory symptoms were studied over the period February 1, 2013 to December 31, 2015. Patients with respiratory symptoms, who satisfied the Public Health England MERS-CoV case algorithm, were tested for MERS-CoV and other respiratory tract viruses on admission to hospital.Two hundred and two patients suspected of having MERS-CoV were tested. None of them had a laboratory-confirmed MERS-CoV infection. A viral aetiology was detected in half (50.3%) of the cases, with rhinoviruses, influenza A (H1N1 and H3N2), and influenza B being most frequent. Peak testing occurred following the annual Hajj season and in other periods of raised national awareness.Respiratory tract infections in travellers/pilgrims returning to the UK from the Middle East are mainly due to rhinoviruses, influenza A, and influenza B. Whilst MERS-CoV was not detected in the 202 patients studied, heightened awareness of the possibility of MERS-CoV and continuous proactive surveillance are essential to rapidly identify cases of MERS-CoV and other seasonal respiratory tract viruses such as avian influenza, in patients presenting to hospital. Early identification and isolation may prevent outbreaks in nosocomial settings.

Background: Physical activity (PA) has been linked to a variety of health benefits, disease prevention, and treatment. Understanding cultural influences are important for the effective promotion of PA. This study examined PA among women in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and the determinants and barriers to it. The research was conducted through a cross-sectional survey. The Arab Teens Lifestyle (ATLS) questionnaire was completed by 1238 randomly selected women in Jeddah. It includes the repetitions and average duration of different types of physical activities per typical week. In addition, the participants self-reported their anthropometric measurements. Results: 76.4% met the minimum requirement for moderately vigorous physical activity (MVPA), but only 19.5% met both MVPA and muscle-strengthening activity (MSA). The two main barriers to participation in PA are the lack of sports facilities and time constraints. The number of comorbidities, calculated body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference were significant determinants of PA (R2 =.27) Conclusion: Women largely ignore MSA despite engaging in a high percentage of MVPA. The presence of comorbidities and obesity are the most important determinants of PA. Finally, these data can be used to develop early interventions to promote health instead of managing complications. Keywords: Physical Activity, Obesity, Barriers, Determinants, Women, Sports, Saudi Arabia.

Introduction: Nudging by government health and welfare authorities has increased in popularity given the potential to add-value to the current arsenal of behavioural research tools and approaches. A needs assessment was conducted for the Health NUDGE Team, Ministry of Health, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, with the intention of mainstreaming and institutionalizing NUDGES within the behavioural sciences in the Gulf State and the region. Needs assessment aims included identifying global progress, impact and lessons learned for continuous improvement. Method: A rapid evidence literature review was implemented, and standardised discussion agenda developed for consultations with sixteen stakeholders from leading global NUDGE Units from 9 country programs. Data was analysed with NVivo 2020 qualitative software. Results: The Benchmarking and SWOT analysis identified a number of challenges and opportunities for NUDGE Units in their infancy to consider. “Seven Steps to Success” are proposed. Discussion: Important considerations are provided for fine-tuning NUDGE organisational, functional and technical capacities, leveraging of activities, and advocacy and promotion of best-practice approaches. The steps can assist in optimising NUDGE performance as the strategy evolves in Saudi Arabia and the Eastern Mediterranean Region. Benchmarking with other providers plays an important part in continuous improvement as well as flexibility to adapt behavioural science processes and approaches to better reflect the needs of country and regional stakeholders.

Introduction: Vitiligo is an apparent skin condition that has a psychological impact on the affected individuals and their families. Its prevalence is estimated to be about (0.5-2%) globally. Misunderstandings, and negative attitudes toward vitiligo patients are the most important factors affecting the quality of life of vitiligo patients.
 Objective: The objective of this study was to identify the common misconceptions and attitudes about the nature, causes and prognosis of vitiligo in Al-Baha region, Saudi Arabia.
 Methods: A cross sectional study collected data from the general population in the public malls in Al-Baha region, Saudi Arabia. We used a questionnaire which was developed by the authors, the questionnaire included questions regarding vitiligo cause, nature, prognosis and the attitude toward vitiligo.
 Results: A total of (453) responses were analysed, of which (53%) were females, and (90.9%) were Saudis. The participants’ ages ranged from (16 -64) with a mean of (28.3). The majority of our sample had a high level of education; university (65.1%), High school (26%) and less than high school (6%). Our population believed that gecko and its saliva were the commonest cause (38.1%). Most of the respondents (44.4%) thought that the condition is exaggerated by stress and anxiety. Regarding attitude; (31.5%) are unwilling to marry a vitiligo patient.
 Conclusion: The results of the present study show that the misconceptions and attitudes toward vitiligo are prevalent. Health awareness campaigns should be implanted to educate the people and improve the quality of life of the affected individuals.

<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in panic among the general public, leading many people to seek out information related to COVID-19 through various sources, including social media and traditional media. Identifying public preferences for obtaining such information may help health authorities to effectively plan successful health preventive and educational intervention strategies. </sec> <sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> The aim of this study was to examine the impact of the types of sources used for obtaining COVID-19 information on the attitudes and practices of the general public in Saudi Arabia during the pandemic, and to identify the socioeconomic and demographic factors associated with the use of different sources of information. </sec> <sec> <title>METHODS</title> This study used data from a cross-sectional online survey conducted on residents of Saudi Arabia from March 20 to 24, 2020. Data were analyzed using descriptive, bivariate, and multivariable logistic regression analyses. Bivariate analysis of categorical variables was performed to determine the associations between information sources and socioeconomic and demographic factors. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were employed to examine whether socioeconomic and demographic variables were associated with the source of information used to obtain information about COVID-19. Moreover, univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine how sources of information influence attitudes and practices of adhering to preventive measures. </sec> <sec> <title>RESULTS</title> In this analysis of cross-sectional survey data, 3358 participants were included. Most participants reported using social media, followed by the Ministry of Health (MOH) of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as their primary source of information. Seeking information via social media was significantly associated with lower odds of having an optimistic attitude (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.845, 95% CI 0.733-0.974; <i>P</i>=.02) and adhering to preventive measures (aOR 0.725, 95% CI 0.630-0.835; <i>P</i>&lt;.001) compared to other sources of information. Participants who obtained their COVID-19 information via the MOH had greater odds of having an optimistic attitude (aOR 1.437, 95% CI 1.234-1.673; <i>P</i>&lt;.001) and adhering to preventive measures (aOR 1.393, 95% CI 1.201-1.615; <i>P</i>&lt;.001) than those who obtained information via other sources. </sec> <sec> <title>CONCLUSIONS</title> This study provides evidence that different sources of information influence attitudes and preventive actions differently within a pandemic crisis context. Health authorities in Saudi Arabia should pay attention to the use of appropriate social media channels and sources to allow for more effective dissemination of critical information to the public. </sec>

This article emphasizes a holistic definition of health. It then introduces the concept of Medical social sciences, and drawing from the literature, argues for the inevitability of social sciences in medical education, especially in the health systems of developing countries including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). This is followed by a brief history of medical education in KSA, and an examination of some important social science issues. Finally, this article suggests how a holistic approach involving inputs from the social and behavioral sciences could be incorporated into undergraduate medical education to produce medical professionals who could better meet the community and public health needs of the country.

Introduction: Today, with wide internet use, there is unlimited access to maternity information. Pregnant women use the Internet, social media, and smartphone applications to look for health-related information on obstetrics and pediatrics. Access to reliable health care information is vital for pregnant women and their fetuses. Hence, careful consideration should be given to the legitimacy and reliability of online health care information.
Objectives: The study aims to explore pregnant women's utilization of the Internet and web-based sources related to health care education and self-care in Saudi Arabia.
Method: An exploratory qualitative study was conducted through an electronic survey, where invitations were sent online to potential participants in Saudi Arabia.
Results: After analyzing 312 responses, pregnant women preferred looking up information on the Internet via search engines, as mentioned 175 times. Two hundred sixty-seven participants (85.6%) used social media websites/applications to look for information during their pregnancy. A total of 234 participants had used pregnancy apps (74.7%). Only 42 (13.5%) purchased dietary supplements from websites.
Conclusion: Utilizing social media and pregnancy-related applications for health care information is a growing trend nowadays. Healthcare professionals should have active roles in employing these apps as educational tools to provide trustworthy information to childbearing women. Further, launching an official website for pregnancy-related topics is recommended for future progress.

Background. Monkeypox has been announced recently as a global public health emergency by the World Health Organization. The recent outbreak of monkeypox has brought back concerns about how this viral infection can spread easily between individuals and cause a major health concern. Objectives. The objective of this study was to assess healthcare workers’ (HCWs) knowledge about monkeypox illness, its transmission, prevention, and attitudes toward this re-emerging disease. Materials and Methods. A descriptive correlational cross-sectional survey was conducted in Saudi Arabia from June to August 2022 and targeted HCWs including medical technologists and technicians, physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and others. Results. A total of 385 participants were included where 53.5% of respondents were male compared to 46.5% female. The average score for knowledge was 9.90, and the majority of respondents had an inadequate understanding of monkeypox. In addition, the average score of attitude toward monkeypox infection was 50.19, which indicate that HCWs have a positive view of efforts to prevent monkeypox. Conclusions. In Saudi Arabia, HCWs were found to have an inadequate understanding of the virus that causes monkeypox. This study shows how important it is for HCWs to learn more, since managing contagious infections requires a lot of help from trained and knowledgeable medical professionals.

Developing countries experienced insufficient levels of physical activity, particularly Saudi Arabia. In recent decades, Saudi Arabia has been experiencing a significant change in economy, urbanization, modernization, extensive and rapid demographic changes, and lifestyle transformation. These changes had negatively increased sedentary behaviors, inactivity physical activity, and lifestyle. Physical inactivity increases the risk of non-communicable and disease chronic diseases. Objectives: To highlight the gap in information such as gender inequality, cultural sensitivity, and social norms, including geography. Methods: Saudi Digital library, Google scholar, and UOW library. The terms used are “physical activity”, and “exercise” and research strategy were also adopted. Results: The recent Household Sports Practice Survey Bulletin in 2019 showed significant inequality between males and females. Also, the data showed different results relative to school type and gender. There are specific socio-cultural factors that limit women to participate in physical activities. Females have a low rate of total labor participants in the country. Geographical factors should be considered when establishing a promotion plan for physical activity, and there are no studies that focus on the effect of climate on participation in physical activity. Conclusion: The Saudi country has commenced numerous initiatives to improve people's health and well-being, and hopes to achieve this by 2030. It is important to build a community health center for females because there is a segregation policy to separate males from females in public places and workplaces. Having a national policy or promotion plan and collaborating with government parties is important. In addition, monitoring and evaluating the programs is important to ensure their success.

Abstract Background Studies about internships are mostly done on the internship experiences of interns who received traditional face-to-face education, but limited studies were done on interns who studied under a blended learning educational style. Similarly, most studies on the professional competencies of health sciences graduates are done on the graduates of traditional schools. This study aims to describe the professional competencies of blended learning health sciences graduates through community preceptors’ evaluations of interns in Saudi Arabia. Methods This study is a secondary analysis of existing data that are available from the College of Health Sciences at the Saudi Electronic University. The study population consists of 96 community preceptors who evaluated 90 health sciences undergraduate interns during the last six months of 2019. Results Data analysis is a descriptive method that provides simple statistics related to evaluation variables. The study tested the technical competencies, nontechnical competencies, and employment perceptions of interns. The mean scores for technical and nontechnical competencies represent positive evaluations of health sciences interns who graduated from undergraduate programs. The standard deviations indicate that most responses are fairly close to the mean scores. The modes for all competences are excellent. Of the 96 evaluations, more than 90% answered “YES” to hiring blended learning health sciences graduates. Conclusions From the perception of community preceptors, blended learning graduates who majored in health sciences are competent and well prepared to be employed in the health sector in Saudi Arabia and globally.

The objective of the current research is to reveal the degree of observance of the health education standards included in the content of the science curriculum for the first grade in the middle stage in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the first and second semesters of the academic year 1436-1437. The number reached two books per book for each semester. The researcher has constructed a list of health education standards that must be taken into account in the content of the science curriculum for the first grade in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and then building the research tools: list of standards of health education in the intermediate stage and the card analysis of the content of this list. After the analysis of the data statistically revealed the results of the search for the following: 1 - The number of standards that have been considered in the content of the science curriculum for the first grade (13) standard of the total standards of health education, which was prepared (64) standard. 2 - not to include some areas of standards of health education in full, such as: (mental health, sexual health, diseases and prevention, medicines and dealing with them, bad habits, safety and first aid). 3 - The content of the science curriculum for the first grade in the middle stage does not adequately meet the standards of health education and therefore does not give a positive indicator to achieve the objectives of health education for students. In light of these results, the study concluded with a number of recommendations, most notably the need to review the content of the science curriculum for the first grade by incorporating more health standards in scientific curricula that focus on the functional aspect rather than scientific information.

Background: Forensic odontology is the handling and examination of dental evidence and the accurate interpretation and preservation of dental findings in the interests of justice. The aim of this study was to assess the level of knowledge and attitudes of the public in Saudi Arabia about forensic odontology during COVID-19. Methods: A total of 784 adult participants from 17 cities answered a self-reported questionnaire in this cross-sectional study. The questionnaire was composed of 55 questions about their knowledge of and attitudes about forensic odontology and their willingness to register with a national dental registry. The questionnaire was validated and had a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.78 and 0.75. Results: The total knowledge score was 9.35 (out of 21), and standard deviation (SD) of 4.68. Adults and employed participants had significantly higher forensic odontology knowledge levels than older and retired participants (p<0.05). There was a moderate attitude toward the usefulness of forensic odontology during the COVID-19 pandemic, ranging from 36.61% to 61.48%. A total of 74.62% were willing to register with a national dental registry if one is established. Conclusion: The public in Saudi Arabia have relatively low levels of knowledge about forensic dentistry. They had a good attitude about participating in a national dental registry. Most of them agreed on the importance of using forensic odontology in global public health disasters such as the COVID-19 pandemic. However, forensic odontology still needs to be introduced to the public, with more efforts exerted toward educational and health promotion activities.

The aim of this study was to assess the perception of healthcare workers regarding self-protection during the COVID-19 pandemic in Saudi Arabia. The novel COVID-19 pandemic has completely changed the dynamic of governments, social lives, global economy, and health care systems priorities. Healthcare workers (HCWs) are one of the most group of people at risk of acquiring the infection, especially those who are taking care of COVID-19 patients. This cross-sectional survey-based study was conducted among HCWs during the period between May to July 2020 in Saudi Arabia. More than 70% of participating HCWs were able to access the personal safety policies and procedures in the workplace and COVID-19 treatment algorithm. In addition, the presence of an infection control team was also present in most of the institutes. The most common accessible personal protective equipment was hand gel sanitizer (89.9%), followed by disposable gloves (82.5%) and disposable masks (78.9%). More than 75% of participants reported that their institute has a special infection control team during the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of the respondents (~75%) believe that their institute would take all necessary measurements to protect their personal integrity at work. Several precautionary measures were undertaken appropriately by the Saudi Government to overcome the COVID-19 immediate and futuristic consequences. Personal protective equipment and protective measures would be crucial for public health if implemented appropriately during highly spreading infections (e.g., COVID-19) to minimize the transmission and preserve health

Background and Aims: Currently, the scope of practice has allowed pharmacists to engage in the clinical aspects of direct patient care and public health services to the patient. This study's main objective is to investigate community pharmacists' involvement in public health services and the barriers in the health system that hinder the integration of community pharmacy professionals into the public health task in the local context of Saudi Arabia.
 Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in community pharmacies in a different region of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (June and July 2019). A sample was calculated to include 431 pharmacists working in different community pharmacies proportionally randomly selected from the five areas in Riyadh city. A multistage, stratified, random sample method was used. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software. A P value < 0.05 considered as statistically significant.
 Results: The 431 participants showed the dominance of male pharmacists (97.2%), non-Saudi (84.9%), and Bachelor’s pharmacy degrees (81.2%). Most of the participants were involved in smoking cessation (83.1%) as public health services, weight management (62.4%), but less involvement in activities related to physical activities or dietary intake (33.0%, 31.8%, respectively). More likely the involvement of the Saudi pharmacist in lifestyle activities in comparison to non-Saudi (AOR:1.932; 95% CI: 1.125 - 3.320). Moreover, the perceived barrier in the involvement level was more associated with years of experience.
 Conclusion: This study showed that community pharmacists should play an important role in health promotion and prevention; they recognize a wide gap between ideal and actual levels of participation. The researcher presents the main barriers to the role of the pharmacist to improve the level of the individual and society because many obstacles limit the role of the pharmacist in public health.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common cancer in Saudi Arabia that affects both genders but predominantly males. We aimed to identify the public awareness level about CRC screening among average-risk individuals. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional interview from October to November 2021, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Participants varied with regard to biodata and education level. In addition, respondents with a family history of the disease and those who work or study in the medical field were excluded. Results: We collected data from 600 participants. The majority were female (52.3%), and 36.6% were between 30 and 39 years of age. Most of the respondents (60.8%) were university graduates. Overall, less than 5% of them did not know that screening could be associated with early detection of cancer or linked to a better prognosis, and 19.2% did not know that screening might affect the treatment plan. Additionally, 16.5% of participants selected colonoscopy as the only screening tool, but 4.5% of them selected both colonoscopy and fecal occult blood test. It was believed by 49.3% of the participants that screening should be done only at the onset of symptoms. The most common reason given for refusing screening tests was lack of symptoms (38.5%). Conclusion: We have concluded a lower level than expected, compared to other studies, of CRC screening in Riyadh city. More focus on public awareness is required.

<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> The COVID-19 outbreak can potentially be categorized as a traumatic event. Public health surveillance is one of the cornerstones of public health practice, and it empowers decision makers to lead and manage public health crises and programs more effectively by providing timely and useful evidence. </sec> <sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> This paper presents the protocol for a study that aims to identify, track, and monitor trends in the population in Saudi Arabia at risk of major depressive disorders and anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic. </sec> <sec> <title>METHODS</title> This study utilizes continuous, cross-sectional, national-level mental health screening via computer-assisted phone interviews, conducted in four waves on a monthly basis (between May and August 2020). Arabic-speaking adults, aged ≥18 years, and living in Saudi Arabia were recruited via a random phone list. This surveillance system used the proportional quota sampling technique to achieve an equal distribution of participants, stratified by age and gender, and region, within and across the 13 administrative regions of Saudi Arabia. A sample size of 4056 participants per wave was calculated to achieve enough power to detect changes in mental health status. The questionnaire includes the Arabic version of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) to measure depressive symptoms and the General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) to measure anxiety. In addition, it will collect data on sociodemographic variables and potential risk factors. </sec> <sec> <title>RESULTS</title> Study recruitment began in May 2020. The data analysis was completed in October 2020, and the final report is expected to be published by the end of December 2020. </sec> <sec> <title>CONCLUSIONS</title> Monitoring the population’s mental health status during the COVID-19 pandemic will inform decision makers of any potential deterioration in mental health on a national level and among subgroups, including across regions, age groups, and gender groups. It will allow decision makers to recognize issues and intervene sooner. It will also provide valuable scientific data to help understand the effects of epidemics and pandemics on mental health. As far as we know, this is the only study that attempts to monitor the mental health status of the general population on a monthly basis. </sec> <sec> <title>CLINICALTRIAL</title> <p /> </sec> <sec> <title>INTERNATIONAL REGISTERED REPORT</title> DERR1-10.2196/23748 </sec>

Introduction and Objective: Travel medicine (TM) is a rapidly developing, very dynamic, and multidisciplinary field that calls for knowledge of numerous illnesses that can occur while traveling. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the TM status in Government Primary Health Care (PHC) Centers in Riyadh city Saudi Arabia. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in August 2022 in Government PHC Centers in Riyadh city Saudi Arabia using multistage stratified random sampling. A total of 25 Health centers were drawn from the different regions of Riyadh, northern, south, west, east, and middle areas. The data used are primary data, obtained from physicians assigned in TM clinics using quantitative as well as qualitative data collection methods. Results: This study involved 30 physicians, 23 of whom are general practitioners and 7 of whom work in TM clinics. Sixteen (53.3%) of the participants were males and Saudis. The mean age was 41 years and the standard deviation was 11 years. About 46.7% of the participants are registrars or senior registrars. TM -related information is most commonly found in review articles and journals (26%), followed by websites and the internet (21%). Conclusion: There were missing communication links between TM clinics and PHC providers in the evaluation of TM clinics in PHC, which needed meetings and continuous training. The TM clinic also needed to develop a plan to raise public awareness about its services among doctors and the community.

Background: The emergency department (ED) is a healthcare environment where patients are treated for various conditions. The Triage system is a tool used to prioritize patients based on the urgency associated with their cases. A recognition of the triage system increases satisfaction, whereas long time waiting is associated with poor patient outcomes. There needs to be more literature regarding public awareness outside of the COVID era; thus, we aim to provide data on general population awareness of the triage system used in ED in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Saudi Arabia from July 2022 to January 2023. The selection of sampling was made by convenience sampling, and data were obtained from an online questionnaire. Results: The study included 650 participants. 60% of them were females, and 40% were males. 54.6% of participants know that there is a medical triage system in emergency departments, which is considered a low percentage, as 45.4% did not know about the triage system in emergency departments, which would negatively affect patient satisfaction. In addition, 63.4% of study participants did not know that there are urgent care centers that provide treatment outside of emergency departments, and 47.4% did not know that health centers or urgent care centers can treat most emergency cases. Conclusion: The general Saudi population is unaware of emergency department triage systems. There should be an effort to spread awareness of the triage system. In addition, developing further training and education in emergency department triage to address knowledge deficits and incorrect triage beliefs is critical.

Hemoglobinopathies are highly prevalent in Saudi Arabia, with varying incidence rates across different regions. The Eastern and Jazan regions have the highest incidence rates. To prevent hemoglobinopathies, the premarital screening program (PMS) has been established in Saudi Arabia to identify at-risk couples before marriage. This cross-sectional descriptive study aimed to evaluate the awareness and attitude of young adults towards PMS in Jazan, Saudi Arabia, which involved 875 individuals (560 men and 315 women). The current study report significant association between sex, personal and family history of disease, and attitude towards PMS among young adults (P< 0.05). The study concludes that while there is a substantial level of awareness and positive attitude towards PMS among the population, there is a need for more detailed health campaigns led by healthcare providers, rulers, and Islamic leaders to highlight the importance of PMS as a preventative measure to reduce the incidence of hemoglobinopathies in Jazan, Saudi Arabia.Les hémoglobinopathies sont très répandues en Arabie saoudite, avec des taux d'incidence variables selon les régions. Les régions de l'Est et de Jazan ont les taux d'incidence les plus élevés. Pour prévenir les hémoglobinopathies, le programme de dépistage prénuptial (PMS) a été mis en place en Arabie saoudite pour identifier les couples à risque avant le mariage. Cette étude descriptive transversale visait à évaluer la sensibilisation et l'attitude des jeunes adultes envers le SPM à Jazan, en Arabie Saoudite, qui a impliqué 875 individus (560 hommes et 315 femmes). La présente étude rapporte une association significative entre le sexe, les antécédents personnels et familiaux de maladie et l'attitude envers le SPM chez les jeunes adultes (P < 0,05). L'étude conclut que bien qu'il existe un niveau substantiel de sensibilisation et d'attitude positive envers le SPM parmi la population, il est nécessaire de mener des campagnes de santé plus détaillées menées par les prestataires de soins de santé, les dirigeants et les dirigeants islamiques pour souligner l'importance du SPM en tant que mesure préventive. réduire l'incidence des hémoglobinopathies en Jazan, Arabie saoudite.

Background E-government platforms provide an opportunity to use a novel data source for population health surveillance (also known as e-health). Absher is a Saudi e-government platform with 23 million authenticated users, including residents and citizens in Saudi Arabia. All Absher users were invited to participate in a web-based survey to estimate the prevalence of noncommunicable diseases and their risk factors in Saudi Arabia. Objective To assess the potential of using an e-government platform (Absher) to administer web-based health surveys. Methods A cross-sectional, web-based health survey was administered to Absher users between April 2019 and March 2020. The survey instrument included eight items and took &lt;5 min to complete. The respondents' data were compared to Saudi Arabia's 2016 census. Descriptive summary statistics of the prevalence of major noncommuncable diseases are presented and compared to population-based prevalence data from Saudi Arabia's World Health Survey (WHS) 2019. All analysis was conducted using Stata 13.0. Results Overall, the Absher health survey had a 24.6% response rate, with most respondents being male (84%), Saudi (67%), and between 30 and 44 years of age (49%). Overall, the prevalence of noncommunicable diseases and risk factors among respondents was high for overweight (35%) and obesity (30%) and low for asthma (6%). The prevalence of diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension was between 15 and 17% on average, and 26.5% were smokers. In comparison to population-based World Health Survey estimates, the Absher survey overestimated obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and smoking rates, and underestimated overweight, whereas asthma prevalence was similar for Absher and the WHS. Conclusions With improvements in the study design, the use of e-government platforms can provide a useful and potentially low-cost data source for public health research.

Saudi health authorities have acknowledged the role of health informatics professionals in improving the quality of medical services in Saudi Arabia. Different academic programs have been launched by different universities and medical colleges to produce qualified Saudi health informatics professionals. To date, there are no studies that have explained the role of health informaticians and their contribution towards the development of the Saudi health information infrastructure. In this study, the authors clarify health informatics practices and the different skills and job activities accomplished by health informaticians. With the growth in the number of Health Informatics programs within the country, there is a need to identify the current and future of HI professionals and to specify and clearly define the type of job titles describing health informatics roles. The Saudi HI educational programs need to work on linking their program objectives with a Saudi Health Informatics Career Framework (SHICF) and labor market needs. Ignoring such an important issue may result in unemployed Saudi HI graduates or HI graduates working in related fields other than HI.

Introduction In the evolving landscape of healthcare, the emergence of digital technologies has brought digital health literacy to the forefront. This is especially pertinent given the vast amount of health information available online and the diverse capabilities of individuals to effectively use this resource. Focusing on the Saudi Arabian context, where digital health practices are increasingly integrated into daily life, our study aims to investigate the competencies in digital health literacy and the patterns of online health information seeking among the Saudi population. Methods A quantitative research design was adopted for this investigation. Data were collected through online surveys from a diverse cohort of 2,184 Saudi residents, all above the age of 18 years. The survey was designed to evaluate the participants' ability to find, understand, and use health information obtained from digital platforms. Results Analysis indicates that 63% of the population is proficient in using search engines for health information. However, 37% face challenges in formulating precise health-related inquiries. Additionally, the study identified significant variations in digital health literacy across different genders and age groups, with younger participants generally showing higher literacy levels. Conclusion The results of our study highlight the critical need for specialized educational initiatives in Saudi Arabia aimed at bolstering digital health literacy. This is particularly essential in bridging the gaps observed in different age groups and between genders. By enhancing these key competencies, we can significantly empower individuals to make well-informed health decisions. Such advancements are instrumental in nurturing a society that is both more informed and proficient in managing health-related information in a digital context.

Background: Cigarette smoking among medical students is becoming a serious public health problem worldwide. Objectives: To determine the daily cigarette smoking prevalence and its characteristics among undergraduate medical students at AL-Ghad International College, Abha city, Saudi Arabia. Methods and Materials: A community based cross-sectional study was conducted at AL-Ghad International College, Abha city, Saudi Arabia. A validated self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from the participants. Descriptive data analysis was performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 17. Association between different variables was performed using Chi-square and ANOVA tests. A P-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The prevalence of daily cigarette smoking was 30.25%. Significant associations were found between the cigarette smoking and smokers in the age group of 20-25 years (P-value 0.001) and students of higher level of the study (P-value 0.005). About two-thirds (65.3%) of smokers began cigarette smoking after joining the College and 79.4% smoked 1 to 10 cigarettes per day. The association between number of cigarettes smoked per day and the duration of cigarette smoking in years showed statistically significant result (P. value 0.002). Conclusion: The daily cigarette smoking prevalence is still higher among undergraduate medical students. The higher prevalence of cigarette smoking might predict future adverse effects on health. This necessitates introduction of public health preventive and cessation programs which should be implemented by health and education authorities.

Purpose Owing to the difficulty of establishing a screening program for scoliosis and back pain, along with their disabling consequences and the lack of local prevalence rates, we sought to study the prevalence of scoliosis and back pain in adolescents in Saudi Arabia and the burden reported by the affected age group on the health system. Materials and methods A school-based, cross-sectional pilot study covering all school districts in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, was conducted. Students between 12 and 18 years of age were included. Students with any spinal or neurological disorders were excluded. Physical examinations to screen for scoliosis and student-filled questionnaires to assess back pain and health-related quality of life were performed. Results Of the 700 students, 591 met the inclusion criteria. High suspicion of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) was considered in 174 students (29.44%). In addition, 45.42% of the students had a history of back pain. The Oswestry Disability Index showed that 87 students had disabilities. The average Scoliosis Research Society-22 score was 3 out of 5. A significant difference was found in the self-image and mental health domains for AIS (p = 0.04, p = 0.02, respectively). Age showed a significant increase in the odds ratio of a positive physical exam for every increase of one year in age (p < 0.01). Conclusion Identifying the prevalence rates and early associated factors during adolescence would help lower the burden on the health system and benefit public health in general. A nationwide study is required to identify the relationship between scoliosis and back pain.

<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> The use of tobacco is one of the major reasons for various chronic diseases and death across different nations. In addition, tobacco usage is also one of the major causes of financial burden among many people in developing and under developed countries, which in turn creates financial burden on the respective countries for public health management. Recent studies in Saudi Arabia reflected an enormous growth in the number of smokers, an increase in the spending on public health and adopting e-health technologies for disease management, including smoking cessation programmes. However, these programs used very little or no technology constraints for achieving smoking cessation in the country. Adults are those among the population who are quickly getting addicted to smoking, and consequently adults are those who are aware and updated with use of latest mobile technologies in their daily life, whether it is a smart phone or different technological devices like automatic BP monitoring machine or Blood glucose monitor. It is evident from the recent studies that mobile technologies in the field of medicine and health management can achieve effective results while minimizing the costs and improving the health by better disease management and education. As the young population is the inclined towards using new technologies, the mobile technology could be a promising medium to reach the targeted population who are smokers in achieving smoking cessation. </sec> <sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> The primary aim of this trial is to determine the effectiveness of an evidence – informed mobile phone application, SMOKE MIND, developed tailored according to the needs of the people and for achieving smoking cessation in Saudi Arabia. </sec> <sec> <title>METHODS</title> A parallel randomized controlled trial (RCT) with two parallel arms, intervention group and control group is conducted for a period of 4 weeks, with 13 smokers/participants in each group. The participants in control group receive only standard care, while the participants in the intervention group receive standard care plus the system (SMOKE MIND) intervention, which would allow them to have high medium of communication with medical staff and also to obtain educational and motivational materials through the system, which is an hybrid model integrating m-health technologies and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). The primary outcome of the study would be determining the effectiveness of the mobile application, SMOKE MIND in achieving smoking cessation, which would be determined at the end of 4 weeks study. At the end of the study, the smokers in the intervention group are requested to fill the usability questionnaire of the mobile application they used, and also questionnaire related to the self-efficacy for smoking cessation. The secondary outcome would determine the effectiveness and efficiency of the usability features of the mobile application based on the results from the usability questionnaire, and also the self-efficacy aspect for smoking cessation. The major outcome of the study would be assessed on long term basis, by identifying the number of participants in achieving smoking cessation at the periods of 6 months, 1 year, and 18 months after the trial. </sec> <sec> <title>RESULTS</title> The mobile health application, SMOKE MIND appears to be effective in achieving smoking cessation in short-term period. The participants in intervention group achieved lower CO levels compared to those in control group. The number of participants who quit smoking is higher in intervention group than that of control group. </sec> <sec> <title>CONCLUSIONS</title> the effectiveness of evidence – informed mobile application, SMOKE MIND for smoking cessation appears to be positive in short-term. Further trials with large sample population might be helpful in wide analysis of the m-health technologies integrated with CBT. However, long term results </sec> <sec> <title>CLINICALTRIAL</title> this study was in Saudi Arabia, the study has ethical approval from Kingston University, London; and Tobacco Control Program, Al-Madinah In Saudi Arabia, the study has no Registration no, however they issued ethical approval instead as the policy over their. </sec>

Background Jeddah has the highest international traffic and is among the most diverse cities in Saudi Arabia. The chance of importing an emerging communicable disease is significant, particularly during the religious seasons. Therefore, timely and accurate reporting of communicable diseases at primary health care centers (PHCCs) is crucial. Objectives The main objective of this study was to assess physicians’ knowledge, practices, and perceptions of reporting communicable diseases at PHCCs in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Methods The study was a cross-sectional study comprising 143 physicians from all PHCCs in Jeddah from October 2017 to February 2018. An electronic questionnaire was used to collect data to assess the physicians’ knowledge, practices, and perceptions related to reporting communicable diseases at PHCCs. Results A total of 106 physicians participated in the study. Although only 21.7% of the physicians had received training on reporting communicable diseases, the average knowledge score for the six commonly reported diseases was 72%. More than half (58.5%) of the physicians indicated that they had reported at least one disease. However, there was no agreement on who should be responsible for reporting communicable diseases at PHCCs. Furthermore, some obstacles were perceived that could prevent disease reporting, including physicians not knowing which diseases to report (66%), not knowing how or whom to report to (54.7%), and a limited diagnostic or laboratory capacity (52.8%). Conclusions Reporting communicable diseases at PHCCs was of adequate quality. However, some obstacles must be addressed, and regular applied training must be provided. More extensive assessments are needed to improve the reporting of communicable diseases locally and nationally.

Background: Saudi Arabia hosted 2.5 million pilgrims in 2009 amidst H 1 N 1 pandemic. The Armed Forces Hospital in Mina caters for pilgrims during Hajj, annually. In the hospital, rigorous infection control precautions were taken to mitigate the transmission of the pandemic among the care seekers and the hospital's health workers. Objective: To study the distribution of confirmed H 1 N 1 infection among suspected H 1 N 1 patients admitted to the hospital. Methods: Patients who met disease severity criteria were admitted to the H 1 N 1 isolation ward, nasopharyngeal and throat swabs for H 1 N 1 virus assay, using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique taken. Results: Out of 39 admissions, females significantly predominated (74.4% vs. 25.6%, X 2 (1) 9.26, p 0.002). Eleven (29.7%, n=37) patients tested H 1 N 1 -polymerase chain reaction (PCR) positive. No health worker reported suspected H 1 N 1 symptoms during the mission. Patients significantly differed in the rate of positive- and negative H 1 N 1 -PCR-test (29.7%, 70.3%, X 2 (1) 6.81, p 0.014). Test positivity did not differ by nationality (Saudi vs. non-Saudi). Conclusion: Dealing with a pandemic in a mass gathering situation is a unique experience. This work provides that although the burden of H 1 N 1 infection may well be enhanced by Hajj mass gathering, applying systematized infection control measures in a well-defined hospital setting could help mitigate the transmission of H 1 N 1 within the facility environment.

Workplace violence (WPV) is more likely to affect those who work in community services, notably nurses. WPV is generally recognized as a workplace health hazard and has been a significant concern in a number of countries. Limited studies have been conducted in the global countries and this study was designed as a cross-sectional study from Saudi Arabia to document the WPV among the nurses. The aim of this study was to enroll the consequences obtain during the WPV among the nurses in Saudi Arabia. In this cross-sectional study, we have enrolled 550 nurses based on the signed of informed consent form and filled questionnaire. The study results indicated that 77.6% of nurses were violated at work. The 90.4% of the majority violations were classified as verbal abuse. The relatives of the patients violated 66.7% of the nurses, and the occurrence occurred during the evening shifts of the working hours between 2.30-10.30pm. The most violations occurred in the patient room, accounting for 46.8% of all violations, with the severe workload accounting for 89.2% of all violations. However, among the violations, 21.4% of the nurses were reported to senior management. In conclusion, this study confirms the nurses who have participated in this were mentally strong in handling the WPV during their job. Further studies are required for looking at the factors that increase the chance of a repeat event and those that decrease it, as well as development of an intervention program for the emotional load that accompanies WPV. To prevent workplace violence in healthcare settings, it is equally vital to implement policies that supplement the existing call to action.

The Hajj is the largest annual gathering in the world and is a very important event for every Muslim. Makkah annually receives three million pilgrims who perform Hajj. Although precautionary measures have been taken in Saudi Arabia to slow down the spread of COVID-19, such as locking down the most affected cities, practicing social distancing, and applying infection-control precautions, the number of cases has increased. The total confirmed number of cases in Makkah was 10,709, with 127 deaths as of May 16, 2020.<br /> Forecasting the COVID-19 progression in the city of Makkah will help policymakers decide if the Hajj will be able to operate this year. Thus, to see a clear picture of the fight against COVID-19 for the economy and healthcare industry in Saudi Arabia, specifically in Makkah, the SIR model will predict COVID-19 progression in the city of Makkah. The Susceptible, Infected, and Recovered (SIR) model has been used to track the transmission dynamics and growth in the city of Makkah. The growth index was calculated according to the data from March 16 until May 9. The estimated vital epidemiological parameters were done, such as forecasting works and transmission rates.<br /> The data showed an interesting result about the peak of the disease progression. It is projected to occur around the 12th day after running the model. According to the model, the peak time will be around the 22nd of May. Then, the number of cases will start to decrease.<br /> Using the SIR model, the result predicts the disease progression peak and an estimated end of COVID-19 in the city of Makkah to help policymakers decide if the Hajj will be able to operate this year.

Abstract Aim This study aimed to explore the predictors of breast self‐examination (BSE) behavior among adult females in Najran city, Saudi Arabia. Methods A descriptive correlational design was utilized to recruit 1,075 participants from the primary health centers in Najran city, Saudi Arabia, from the beginning of March to the end of October 2021. A self‐reported questionnaire was used for data collection; it consisted of demographic data and health history, breast cancer knowledge test and protection motivation theory (PMT) scale. Data analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Science software, version 23 (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA). Results Only 38.2% of the study participants had ever‐performed BSE. Participants' knowledge, education, previous family history of breast cancer, and personal history of benign breast tumors are significant socio‐demographic predictors of BSE behavior ( p < .001). Also, the higher threats appraisal, reward appraisal, and efficacy appraisal increased the participants' probability of practicing BSE ( p < .001) compared to a low level as references based on binary logistic regression results. In addition, low response cost was another predictor for BSE behavior compared with higher levels ( p < .001). Conclusion Participants' knowledge, education, previous family history of breast cancer, and the PMT constructs (threats appraisal, reward appraisal, efficacy appraisal, and response cost) were significant predictors of BSE behavior.

Evidently, shisha smoking is a major public health problem and this socializing but highly dangerous toxic behavior has spread worldwide to include the African and Asian continents, Australia, Europe, and North America. Therefore, water pipe smoking is no more confined to the Arabic and or Eastern world. Secondly, use of the water pipe is potentially hazardous and by all yardsticks more dangerous than cigarette smoking. In addition, second hand smoke from the water pipe is thought to be more dangerous than that from cigarette smoke, although opposing evidence has also been reported.2 Shisha smoking is reported to contribute to a variety of diseases including cardiovascular, respiratory, addiction, and cancer. The lingering misbelief among the general public that water pipe smoking is less dangerous than cigarette smoking is no longer tenable.3 Thirdly, a critique of relevant literature on tobacco use goes hand in hand with the saying that everything in excess is very bad. An epidemiological study is needed to assess mild to moderate use of water pipe and tobacco use in the general population. There is currently converging evidence that water pipe smoking is generally more common among young adolescents, including girls, at a global level. This is a very dangerous epidemiological trend in the young, who already have other compounding lifestyle problems that might result in disastrous consequences.Unfortunately, this study recruited only male medical students and hence lost an opportunity to explore simultaneously the water pipe smoking behavior of female medical students. This is a major caveat because a comparative study involving both genders might have substantiated or refuted already emerging findings; one of them is that water pipe smoking is more common among females. Another limitation of this study is that the authors designed a new questionnaire rather than using one of the most relevant standardized questionnaires developed jointly by international health organizations, including the World Health Organization, the Canadian Public Health Association and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In doing so, the authors fell short of assessing the specific and relative social and cultural beliefs of male versus female students in Saudi Arabia, as medical students in medical colleges often hail from different regions. Furthermore, this study did not add anything major or new to the existing literature on shisha smoking. However, one finding and related explanation is noteworthy: mothers of water pipe smokers had an advanced education compared with mothers of those of nonsmokers. According to this study this result was speculatively attributed to two factors including shisha smoking as a prestige behavior and an indication of a modern standard of living. However, the commentators feel that these explanations might not be true because mothers were not asked about the explanations underlying the linkage between their higher education and shisha smoking. This finding needs further study. There might be more plausible explanations: shisha smoking in modern times is merely a continuation of a very old traditional behavior of the Eastern world and it may not be a prestigious behavior at all; rather it may reflect low status. A study that recruits a larger sample representative of all Saudi medical colleges might truly shed light on this finding and a more detailed explanation must be included in the measurement tools.4Finally, shisha smoking is a global health problem of the young population and needs effective preventive strategies across the world, including health warning labels on water pipe tobacco products and related accessories.5 Shisha smoking is a rapidly re-emerging epidemic, especially among the young population and hence is a research priority. In addition, there are some grey areas, especially epidemiological perspectives and long-term effects of water pipe smoking, including cancer development, that need the special attention of researchers worldwide.The author of the original report declined to respondARTICLE REFERENCES:1.

Background Brucellosis is an endemic infection in the Middle East. The World Health Organization has identified the illness as one of the most prevalent "neglected zoonotic diseases." Public perceptions regarding brucellosis infection vary across different regions. Thus, this study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices concerning brucellosis among the general population in the Qassim region of Saudi Arabia. Methods A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in the Qassim region of Saudi Arabia between March 2023 and May 2023. We distributed an online questionnaire through social media platforms and received a total of 1,244 responses from different governorates in the Qassim region. Results The level of awareness of brucellosis was moderate. Out of the 1,244 participants, 706 (56.8%) were aware of the disease. Among the participants who were aware of the disease, their knowledge of brucellosis was assessed. The majority of these respondents demonstrated a good level of knowledge (70.5%). Regarding attitudes and practices toward brucellosis, no significant association was found between the participants’ level of knowledge and their attitudes. Conclusion Awareness levels about brucellosis in the Qassim region vary depending on age group, area of residency, and other factors. The younger age group and certain governorates in the Qassim region showed low levels of awareness. Moreover, participants with good knowledge about the disease obtained their information from healthcare practitioners. The significant difference in our findings between Qassim’s governorates demonstrates the need for more targeted awareness campaigns in areas with lower levels of awareness.

Abstract Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD), a major worldwide public health issue, is of significant concern as several studies confirm the high prevalence of CVD risk in Saudi women. However, limited has focused on how these risks are affected by health beliefs and socioeconomic variables. The Health Belief Model was used to compare Saudi women’s perceived health beliefs with their calculated Framingham Risk Score (FRS) to determine their risk for a future CVD event and the influence of socio-economic variables on the prevalence of CVD risk. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on women attending the primary care clinics in a university hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A non-random convenience sample was selected of adult women without pre-existing CVD. Health belief and sociodemographic data were collected, and FRS calculated. Results A total of 503 Saudi females participated, the majority of whom significantly underestimated their actual risk of CVD as measured by their individual FRS. 43.4% had a high CVD risk but a low perception of susceptibility. 63.5% understood the severity of CVD, while 75.2% had a low to moderate perception of the benefits of healthy behaviours. 86.7% did not know how to perform CVD risk-reducing exercises, and 65.9 % stated that they did not have access to exercise facilities. Pearson correlations suggest a weak linear relationship between the FRS and the subscales of each health belief. However, there was a significant relationship between the Framingham scores across income, marital status, education and occupational status categories (p<= 0.001) in Chi-Square tests. Significant differences were found when comparing perceived benefits of healthy behaviours with marital status; perceived severity and benefits with the level of education; perceived severity and benefits with occupation; and perceived severity and benefits with financial income. Conclusions This study is the first in Saudi Arabia to examine the correlation between health beliefs, calculated CVD risk, and socioeconomic variables among Saudi women. Education and income were vital elements affecting their CVD risk and health beliefs, and these have implications for public health policy-making.

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that there are approximately 19 million visually impaired children worldwide, and most of the conditions are treatable by early intervention at the primary, secondary, and tertiary levels. Objective: To assess the status of paediatric eye care services in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among eye care professionals (optometrists and ophthalmologists) in public sector hospitals in various regions of Saudi Arabia. Data were collected through an online self-administered paediatric eye care service questionnaire based on a validated questionnaire. Results: A total of 137 completed questionnaires were obtained, with a response rate of 83%. The highest percentage of trained paediatric teams at hospitals was recorded at 95% in the eastern region (p= 0.024), while the lowest percentage was 44% in the southern region. Trained paediatric nurses were available in 88% of the eastern region hospitals, followed by 56% of the central region hospitals (p= 0.001). Services such as separate paediatric optometry clinics, dedicated ophthalmology outpatient clinics, and advanced diagnostic equipment were significantly higher in number in the eastern region than in the other regions (p˂0.001). The general status of human resources of eye professionals reveals that 73% of the facilities had both trained optometrists and ophthalmologists, approximately 70.8% had anaesthesiologists available, and almost 73.7% had easy access to available paediatricians. Conclusion: The overall quality of paediatric eye-related health care is satisfactory in most Saudi regions. However, there are some discrepancies among the regions in paediatric eye care services and facility types, which may need to be addressed by decision-makers in the Ministry of Health.

Background: Falls represent a significant and growing public health issue among older adults worldwide. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the trends in the incidence, prevalence, and disability burden of falls among older adults in Saudi Arabia over 29 years, with a focus on gender disparities. Methods: Utilizing the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study data, this observational analysis tracked the epidemiology of falls from 1990 to 2019. The study employed ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes to identify falls, analyzing incidence, prevalence, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and years lived with disability (YLDs), stratified by gender and reported with 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs). Results: The incidence and prevalence of falls increased for both genders from 1990 to 2019, with males showing a higher relative increase in prevalence rates (57% for males vs. 26% for females). The disability burden, indicated by DALYs, increased by 4% for males and decreased by 10% for females, whereas YLDs saw an increase of 38% for males and 8% for females. The analysis highlights a notable rise in both the frequency of falls and their associated disability, with gender-specific variations emphasizing greater impacts on males. Conclusions: The findings illustrate a significant increase in fall-related incidents and associated disabilities among older adults in Saudi Arabia, with distinct gender differences. These trends call for targeted public health interventions and further research into the underlying causes of falls, risk factors, and effective prevention strategies. Such measures are essential to mitigate the impact of falls, improve health outcomes, and enhance the quality of life for the aging population.

As usual periods, parents are struggle with choices around how greatest to care about their children's growth. Today, still, parents are challenged with nearly unprecedented selections, and difficulties with no clear results: Suppose in-children education is improved for expressive health, but distant education is improved for physical health. How can children stand-in public services without usual public relations? How can parents' choice between education situations when all the selections have clear problems in COVID-19? These concerns and selections are uniform extra problematic on behalf of parents of children with special needs and disabilities, who are between the greatest exposed scholars and who are improved possibility of delay during suffering from COVID-19 school/college interruptions. The public-spirited and commercial effects of the occurrence of the COVID-19, have tired attention to the instability of, and restrictions to, current methods of worldwide control.However, improvement of immediate worldwide reaction devices and current assistance efforts must be the main significance for opposing beside these overall disasters of at all environments. During COVID-19 it is our united efforts contention that by explicitly pursuing action to health and education, career formation and a work security ground can do it. We equally worldwide public can construct additional strong residents that can support in the financial and social retrieval. The purpose of this paper is to offer a comprehensive observation of special needs children's education work in Saudi Arabia. The main approaches of Saudi Arabia are concerning special needs children during Covid-19.

Unlike the Pool of Bethesda, Makkah is a moment of sacrifice, a space of unified worship in the lives of Muslim worshipers. The Makkah experience symbolizes the “farewell pilgrimage” of the Prophet Muhammad through the Arabian desert in 632 A.D. (Aljazeera, 2021). The annual Hajj expedition to the Saudi holy city is the fifth of the five Muslim Pillars of Islam. Hajj occurs during Dhu’al-Hijjah, the last month of the year according to the Islamic calendar. Millions of people from across the world assemble to pray in the direction of Ka’bah, the holiest Islamic shrine constructed by Abraham and Ishmael. The 2012 Hajj attracted more than 3 million pilgrims journeyed to Hajj. However, the 2019 SARS-CoV-2 outbreak has since forced decision-makers for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to take further preventive measures in the interests of public health that affect the outcomes of the traditional prayer and worship. Saudi Arabian government officials significantly downsized capacity and instituted protocols for attendance to the 2020 and 2021 Hajj events due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition to Muslim pilgrimages, several nations have implemented mHealth apps designed for Covid-19 contact tracing, quarantine enforcement, symptom monitoring, and information provision for mass crowding events. Independently, the apps do not provide a holistic approach to Covid-19 transmission control in mass gatherings. A more universal, less intrusive technological approaches to managing and protecting the Hajj pilgrimage populations using credible, real-time data is needful. This study proposes an information-generating SMART app based on the success of prior apps, the implementation of a Smart Hajj application, which allows authorities to track Hajj pilgrim movement, and collect data as a part of efforts to prevent Covid-19 from disrupting centuries-old tradition Muslim pilgrimages to worship in sacred places.

The increase in disasters in recent decades has impacted on humanity through large loss of life and negative long-term economic and environmental consequences. Disasters cannot always be prevented but their impacts can be mitigated through adapted disaster management strategies, including improving community resilience. The aim of this thesis is to develop a framework of community resilience to disaster in Saudi Arabia (CRDSA). Saudi Arabia has experienced a number of disasters between 2005 and 2014; two were of a biological nature H1N1 and MERS-CoV while the rest were caused by flooding. The study uses a mixed-method approach and paradigm of pragmatism, and is structured into three stages. First, based on the literature review, a survey questionnaire is used to examine the public perception of risk of disaster. The second stage is divided into two steps: 1) the Delphi consultation is employed to refine a set of initial criteria, organised into dimensions, derived from a review of the literature, and to explore additional criteria to inform the development of CRDSA. The Delphi technique combines a quantitative calculation to justify each dimension and associated criteria with qualitative views of experts to reach consensus around the proposed CRDSA. Data collection involved three-round questionnaire before achieving experts’ consensus; 2) AHP is used to achieve the objectives of: a) local priority weights from pair-wise comparative methods of judgment and b) determining the importance of the dimensions of the framework. The third stage focuses on the validation of the CRDSA through a real mass gathering event. The approach involves a field study investigation, including interviews and observations during the 2013 Hajj to 1) determine community resilience level at the Hajj, 2) inform prevention strategies against the risk of a MERS-CoV epidemic; and 3) validate the CRDSA in a real situation. The study finds that the proposed CRDSA framework can be used as an assessment tool to build community resilience to disasters in permanent and transient communities.

Abstract Background Childhood obesity is a global public health concern with major consequences. In Saudi Arabia, the percentage of children who are overweight or obese have significantly increased in the past 2 decades, raising concerns about the physical and psychosocial consequences of this burden. This study aimed at investigating the different risk factors contributing to childhood obesity in Saudi Arabia. Methods A case-control study was conducted among 492 school children (246 overweight/obese cases and 246 normal control aged 5-9 years old). Using valid and reliable instruments, parental and children characteristics, behavioural practices, screen use, and other activities were assessed as risk factors for childhood obesity using logistic regression analysis. Results An unemployed father (OR=11.90; 95%CI: 7.47-18.93), an overweight/obese father (OR=2.04; 95%CI: 1.40-2.96), an incorrect parental perception of child’s weight status (OR=2.54; 95%CI: 1.75-3.68), Caesarean delivery (OR=2.52; 95%CI: 1.56-4.09), daily time in active play for less than 30 minutes (OR=2.18; 95%CI: 1.44-3.28), , frequent snacking (OR=1.74; 95%CI: 1.05-2.93), and screen time use for more than 2 hours per day outside of school (OR=1.62; 95%CI: 1.12-2.34) were all independent risk factors for being overweight or obese among the selected cases. Conclusion Efforts to prevent childhood overweight and obesity in this population should focus primarily on the early identification and addressing of risk factors, such as parental characteristics and awareness of the magnitude of the burden of obesity, behavioural practices such as frequent snacking, screen time use, and physical activity.

Background: Biostatistics means statistical tools have been used in the study of medical/biomedical sciences. It is also called Medical Biostatistics/Medical Statistics. It is an important subject in medical, nursing, pharmacy, Bioallied Health Sciences, and other biology related specialties. In this article, I briefly explained my teaching and research experiences related to Biostatistics to the College of Pharmacy (COP) students. Materials and Methods: In this paper I have discussed and explored all the steps related to teaching Biostatistics, its applications, and research methods and its implications to the College of Pharmacy students in Saudi Arabia. Online classes was conducted at the time of Covid-19 pandemic time of the year 2020 – 2021 and 2021 – 2022. Results: I trained COP students in all aspects of Biostatistical tools, their applications, research methods, and other research steps fully. That’s why the Statistical thinking is a crucial part of the studies in pharmacy/medical and biomedical areas. COP students followed my instructions and advice in a good way, and they benefited from my teaching and research methods and its steps throughout their graduation study. Conclusion: I have concluded that teaching of the subject biostatistics and its applications are essential and important to all science and medical specialty students all over the world. Saudi Government must take a necessary step to implement/initiate Biostatistics departments/unit in all colleges separately. It will be very useful to their pharmacist/pharmacy to educate the patients, safe and high-quality care, to control the drugs effect/adherence among patients successfully and to achieve the best high-quality results of patients’ health.

Obesity, diabetes, and other significant consequences of unhealthy diet added financial and social burden to all countries. Therefore, active communities found that healthy diet promotion through governmental and non-governmental organizations can effectively raise the populations’ level of awareness and provide access to healthy food options. This will eventually facilitate the adoption of healthy eating habits and significantly impact the population’s health.
A Healthy Food Promotion (HFP) national program will be conducted in Saudi Arabia as a part of the 2030 vision, which aims at offering a fulfilling and healthy life. The program will include designing and implementing several initiatives that aim at enhancing the eating habits and the wellbeing of the Saudi population.

Influenza is an emerging disease which is a major threat to public health worldwide.1 In this context, we thank Drs. Frayha and Alrajhi for providing an educative and thought-provoking editorial.2 With the excellent health facilities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, it is possible to develop a national influenza surveillance system (NISS). From the isolates of influenza virus, the antigenic and genetic characterization can be carried out in order to find out their drift/shift, as well as the strains imported into the Kingdom (in view of the enormous number of visitors, as the authors stated).2 An effective NISS is essential in a program for the control of influenza.1 Moreover, it also helps to measure influenza activity3 and the ongoing antigenic variation Of the virus resulting in outbreaks. In view of the antigenic drifts of the vaccine strain, the formula of the vaccine should be reviewed annually.4In the editorial, children with cyanotic heart disease were included in the vulnerable group for vaccination. In addition to that, the National Health and Medical Research Council considers annual vaccination to be important for staff who care for immunocompressed patients, as well as those caring for patients in nursing homes and other chronic care facilities.ARTICLE REFERENCES:1.

Background: Antibiotic resistance is a global public health concern, and understanding the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of the general population is essential for effective prevention and management. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the KAP of antibiotic resistance among adults in Saudi Arabia. Materials and methods: Between August 2023 and October 2023, 1000 participants aged 16-65 years from various regions in Saudi Arabia were surveyed using an online questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Excel and IBM SPSS Statistics version 27.0.0 (Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.). The sociodemographic characteristics of the participants were examined, and KAP variables towards antibiotic resistance were explored through a range of statistical methods, including frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations. Significance was defined as a p-value of ≤0.05. Results: The majority of participants were Saudi natives (98.1%) with ages between 16 and 25 years (38%), and over half were female (55.7%). More than half held a university degree (54.7%), mainly in non-medical fields (73.3%), and a significant portion reported a monthly income above 10,000 Saudi Riyals (49.7%). Regarding knowledge, 76.5% were aware of antibiotic resistance, but only 24.2% correctly identified its causes. Attitude assessments showed that 50.8% never used antibiotics as a preventive measure, and 47.3% always followed medical prescriptions. Practices revealed that 50.5% rarely used antibiotics, and 68.8% obtained antibiotic prescriptions from doctors. Additionally, 68.9% stopped taking antibiotics only after completing the course. Conclusion: It is important to implement health education campaigns aimed at the public, emphasize the role of health care providers in health education for the general public, and enforce stringent regulations to control the non-prescription dispensing of antibiotics. However, further studies are needed on this subject in the future.

Hajj pilgrims must have certain vaccines for pilgrimage; these requirements aim to reduce the spread of infectious diseases. This study analyzed the trends in vaccine adherence for meningitis, yellow fever, and polio from January 2017- December 2019. These trends can help in guiding future policymaking to prevent outbreaks during Hajj and similar mass gatherings. We analyzed data using descriptive statistics for Hajj pilgrims and Hajj seasonal workers arriving in Saudi Arabia over three years (2017–2019). Health Control Centers (HCCs) collected data at points-of-entry (PoE) and entered it into Saudi Arabia’s Health Electronic Surveillance Network (HESN). We reviewed HESN data to collect information on total passengers arriving per country and the number of passengers vaccinated for: meningococcal meningitis, poliomyelitis, and yellow fever. We compared data to identify the difference in vaccination by region. We used chi-square tests to assess differences in compliance rate among these travelers by year and country of origin. The number of participating countries increased from 113 to 132. Meningitis vaccine coverage increased by 5% from 2017–2019. The increase was not statistically significant. Asia had the lowest overall adherence rate (83%). Yellow fever adherence decreased significantly using a difference of mean adherence between 2017 and 2019 (p-value 0.01). Polio vaccination adherence decreased by 5% from 2017 to 2019; this was not significant (p-value = 0.08). The vaccine coverage increased for meningitis and decreased for yellow fever and polio. Less than 100% vaccine adherence among Hajj travelers creates the potential for the spread of infectious diseases. Proof of vaccination should be required in submitted visa applications. Countries of origin and Saudi Arabia must work together to ensure that all Hajjis are adequately vaccinated before departure.

The literature indicated that studies in Saudi Arabia on oral health and particularly on oral health related quality of life (OHRQOL) in children with autism are lacking. Aim: To assess the parental perception of the OHRQOL and the oral health status in a group of children with autism in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and to compare their results to those of healthy children. Also, to compare the findings of the oral examination to the parents’ estimation of OHRQOL. Methods: This case control study included a sample of 75 autistic children ages 6-12 years from one public and nine private centers for autism and/or mental disability, and 99 healthy children from five elementary schools (public and private). Parents of the children filled out a questionnaire that included their children’s: demographic data, medical and dental histories, and the Franciscan Hospital for children Oral Health-related Quality of Life (FHC-OHRQOL) instrument which in turn included four sections: I-child’s oral symptoms, II-daily life problems, III-parental concerns, and IV-a visual analog scale (VAS). An oral examination of the children was also done. Results: The children from the autism group reported significantly more mean number of symptoms (p=0.041) daily life problems and parental concerns (p=0.000 for both) than the controls. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the mean summary scores for the oral symptoms. However, the children from the autism group reported significantly higher mean summary scores in daily life problems and parental concerns (p= 0.004 and 0.008 respectively). In the last section (VAS), the results showed that the children with autism had significantly lower scores in the parents’ opinion on their child’s teeth and mouth (p=0.000), their rating for the child’s oral health when compared to others (p=0.001), their feeling about their child’s oral health and their rating of their child’s overall QOL (p= 0.000 in both). Upon examination, children with autism showed significantly more extra-oral and intra-oral findings (p=0.000 for both) and higher caries prevalence and severity (p=0.013 and 0.003 respectively) than the controls. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in their oral hygiene status and gingival health. In the children with autism, the FHC-OHRQOL sections I showed a correlation with the Visual Periodontal Index scores, section III with both the dft+DMFT index and the Visual Periodontal Index scores and in section IV, correlations were generally detected with the dft+DMFT index and in the 1st question with the Visual Periodontal Index scores. Conclusions and Recommendations: Parents of children with autism generally report more oral problems/symptoms, daily life problems and parental concerns related to their child’s oral health and also rate them with lower oral well-being and QOL scores compared to parents of healthy children. Children with autism also show more extra-oral and intra-oral findings and higher caries prevalence and severity than the controls. Further studies addressing the oral health issues of children with autism in Saudi Arabia and the development of strategies targeted to improve their oral health and ultimately their QOL are recommended.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has a large migrant workforce particularly from North Africa, other Gulf states and South Asia. Migration influences food behavior; however, the change is not often health conducive. This study aimed to investigate the dietary acculturation among 880 migrants and their families in a large University in the Kingdoms’ capital city, Riyadh. Methods: A cross sectional study design was used based on 2 questionnaires; Rosenmoller et al’s and the WHO STEPS surveillance tool for chronic disease surveillance. Data on length of residency, dietary patterns, anthropometric and biochemical measurements were collected by trained interviewers. Descriptive statistics were reported as a percentage or mean, as appropriate. Chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test or independent t test, Univariate and Multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to compare the significance between variables. Results: Both male and female participants showed a similar mean age (39.7 and 38.5 years). Approximately 61% of them had <5 year’s duration of residency. Significant gender differences were observed in blood pressure and biochemical measurements, with men showing higher mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure and dyslipidemia than women ( P < .001). Women had significantly higher BMI ( P < .001), showed higher mean food practice ( P < .001) and awareness scores than men. Conclusions: Migration into Saudi Arabia from this subgroup showed marked changes in the food practice; acquisition of unhealthy dietary practices also co-existed despite improved awareness and the presence of comorbidities. Findings from this study have relevance to other migrant communities and public health policy.

Background: The Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the novel Coronavirus strain Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is currently a pandemic. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared that the COVID-19 outbreak is a public health emergency of international concern. The lockdown across the countries has resulted in a postponement of routine immunization programs following the recommendations of maintaining a physical distance. Delay of routine pediatric vaccinations, even for a short duration will result in an increased likelihood of vaccine-preventable. The primary objective of this research is to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the routine childhood vaccination coverage rate in the eastern region of Saudi Arabia.
Methods: A cross-sectional study through an online questionnaire. The targeted population was both male and female adults who have children at the age of vaccinations who are residents of the eastern region of Saudi Arabia during the period between July 2020 and September 2020.
Results: 494 respondents participated in this study. 378 of them have children. 76.5% of them have Children had vaccination schedule during COVID-19 pandemic. 66.9 vaccinated their children. 33.1% of parents their children did not receive vaccines during COVID-19. 82.8% of parents think vaccines should be given at its time even during the COVID pandemic.
Conclusion: One out of every three children has missed their routine vaccinations during the COVID-19. The pool of unimmunized children is expanding during the lockdown, making them susceptible to vaccine-preventable diseases. Most of the parent knows the importance of routine pediatric vaccinations.

Abstract Aim: To compare the prevalence of smoking and smoking predictors among adolescents between cities running a healthy city program (HCP cities) and the cities that are not running such a program (NHCP cities) in the Qassim region, Saudi Arabia. Subject and Methods: A cross-sectional survey using a self-reported questionnaire on the prevalence of smoking and smoking predictors among adolescents in Qassim region, Saudi Arabia was undertaken between April and September 2017. Using multi-staged cluster sampling, probability proportionate to the size, we surveyed 364 adolescents from three HCP cites and 769 adolescents from three NHCP cities. Results: The overall prevalence of smoking among school-aged adolescents in Qassim is 5.2% (95% CI: 3.9-6.5). Smoking prevalence among adolescents in the HCP cities is 8.8% (95% CI: 5.9-11.7); while in the NHCP cities it is 3.5% (95% CI: 2.2-4.8). The prevalence of at least one smoker among close friends in HCP and NHCP cities is 67.3% (62.5-72.1) and 72.2% (69-75.3), respectively. The prevalence of at least one smoker in the family of the adolescents in HCP and NHCP cities is 58% (52.9-63.1) and 44.3% (40.8-47.9), respectively. Among the socio-demographic variables, smoking is significantly associated with gender (OR: .08) *, age (OR: 1.61) and academic performance (OR: .27). Prevalence of smoking among adolescents is significantly higher in HCP cities than in NHCP cities (OR: 3.03; 95% CI: 1.7-5.4). Conclusion: Prevalence of smoking and key smoking risk factors were found to be higher in cities implementing the healthy city program, despite exposure to an anti-smoking campaign being higher in these cities. Given these findings, we recommend further in-depth evaluation of the program.

In the Coronavirus pandemic, desperate times called for desperate measures and this is how Saudi Arabia maintained a low case fatality rate. Early public awareness programs and border closure led to a reduction in the rate of infection especially in those at high risk of mortality from the disease. At a clinical level, adoption of virtual clinics for routine outpatient care allowed the country to focus its efforts on the provision of COVID-19 care in specially adapted isolation centers. On a psychological level, the health care providers were well looked after which led to the provision of effective patient care.

Majority of the global population have been affected by food-borne diseases, and Staphylococcus aureus is one of the causes of this disease. S. aureus can be transmitted through contaminated food and is a risk to universal human health because of its ability to produce toxins-staphylococcal enterotoxins. Additionally, methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) furthered public health concerns. Although MRSA has been identified in food worldwide, little information is available on this topic locally and internationally. This review presents information on MRSA that was collected as evidence of such infections globally and in Saudi Arabia.

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Background:</strong> Despite the common use of acetaminophen and its safety profile, cases of acetaminophen-induced hepatic toxicities have been reported due to unintentional duplication that mostly results from the public significant lack of knowledge. This research aims to assess the public awareness towards the safe use of acetaminophen in Saudi Arabia. <strong>Methods:</strong> A cross-sectional study that targeted the adults in Saudi Arabia that was carried out using self-administered questionnaire. The data obtained included sociodemographic characteristics, the pattern of use, the attitude, as well as the knowledge of the general public towards acetaminophen. <strong>Results:</strong> Data presented in this study showed that a significant majority of the respondents (84.11%) used acetaminophen without their physician’s prescription as needed, (66%) denied the development of side effects after using acetaminophen. In terms of the participants’ knowledge and awareness towards the usage of acetaminophen and its safety, a pronounced proportion of the respondents (53.65%) incorrectly identified the maximum daily dose of acetaminophen and only (16.2%) could. A significant minority of the participants (27%) admitted relying on their own knowledge as the primary source of information. Among the participants (54.69%) denied receiving education on acetaminophen from health care professionals. A marked distinction was observed between the respondents with higher educational level as well as younger individuals regarding the identification of the maximum daily dose (p = 0.0034) and (p = 0.039), respectively.<strong> Conclusion:</strong> There is a concerning inadequacy of the public awareness about the appropriate use of acetaminophen. <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Key words:</strong> Acetaminophen, Knowledge, Non-prescription medications, Over dosage, Paracetamol.

Smoking is the main worldwide reason for preventable passings. Studies have demonstrated that smoking commencement during youth improves the probability of kept smoking during adulthood and diminishes the opportunity of stopping. Numerous past explores have been directed in various districts of Saudi Arabia to recognize the pervasiveness of smoking among guys; barely any examinations remembered females for various territory however no investigations have been led among female at northern line of KSA. This examination meant to deciding the commonness of smoking and distinguish hazard factors among secondary school female understudies in Arar, KSA 2018.

Abstract Introduction Exposure to secondhand smoke is a major public health issue that requires assessing its magnitude. This study assesses the current status of passive smoking and its determinates in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Methods This national study conducted in the 13 regions of Saudi Arabia through web-based-computer assisted telephone interviews. The two main measurements were passive smoking among nonsmokers and smoking behaviors in microenvironments among smokers. Data on socio-economic and demographical data, smoking status, attitude, and knowledge on passive smoking impacts were also collected. Data was weighted by age, gender, and region to account for the different probabilities of selection. Results Exposure to secondhand smoke among non-smokers was 44%. Smoking at home with the presence of children in the same room was prevalent (25% cigarettes smokers, 30% waterpipe smokers). About 18% of smokers smoke inside their cars while children on-board. Only 34.4% of smokers perceived, “to a very large extent”, the harms of their smoking might be doing to others. As the knowledge on secondhand smoking exposure health risks increases the smokers were less likely to smoke in microenvironment (R= -0.16, p value&lt; 0.01). Almost half of the population (49.1wt.%) were “extremely concerned” about the effect of passive smoking on their health in the future. Conclusions Passive smoking is prevalent in the Saudi population and a proportion of smokers smokes in microenvironments with the presence of children. Further preventive and promotion strategies are needed to protect the public from the hazards of passive smoking with special attention to vulnerable populations. Key messages Identify the association between knowledge of the associated health risks with exposure to passive smoking and smoker behaviors that expose nonsmokers to tobacco smoke in private micro-environments. Assess the impact of individual knowledge of passive smoking associated health risks and vulnerability to passive tobacco smoke exposure.

Improper antimicrobial use and bacterial resistance can affect an entire community, threaten public health and create economic burdens and ecological consequences on societies. This chapter discusses the importance of counteracting this public health issue. In Saudi Arabia, the appropriate use of antimicrobial agents is of particular concern. The prescribing of broad-spectrum antimicrobials in hospital settings is not highly restricted, and antimicrobials are available over the counters in pharmacies. This unwise use provides a scenario for the emergence of bacterial resistance and subsequent public health concerns. In addition, there is a lack of representative epidemiological research on antimicrobial consumption and quantitative data linking consumption to the incidence of resistance. This chapter illustrates that the implementation and the success of the strategies that monitor and control antimicrobial consumption depend on the availability of information about the extent and patterns of antimicrobial consumption. It demonstrates the potentials and recommendations on obtaining antimicrobial consumption data using defined daily dose as a unit of measurement in Saudi hospital settings.

This body of research sought to identify often overlooked social, cultural and behavioural contributions to the measured frequency of foodborne illness among university students studying Public health in Makkah City, Saudi Arabia. Data was collected from 215 students through two surveys and monthly reporting of foodborne episodes over one year. A higher frequency of reported episodes was associated with some socially and culturally -influenced food access, preparation, storage and preferences in exploratory regression models. The methods and findings of this research can assist future studies to guide health promotion practices aiming to reduce foodborne illness.

Bombs are bad for one's health. Whether one considers the full WHO definition or even the most basic criterion of remaining alive and sentient, bombs tend to militate towards diseases — social, physical, psychological and spiritual. This applies equally whether one is a resident of London, Belfast or Baghdad. The question, in the public health context, is to ask, where the bombs come from?
Like tobacco and drug barons, they're not fussy. Child soldiers in central Africa, both sides in the Iran–Iraq war, rapturous Millenarian's in Midwestern US, police-state Saudi Arabia, uber-fortress Israel, the Mujaheddin in Afghanistan … theirs is a toxic egalitarianism, an amorality that makes Satan look like a Tupperware matron. The UK is the second biggest arms dealer in the world. Our taxes, our labour.
Full-spectrum dominance, the goal of the current US administration (to which …

Introduction Middle-aged women experience several changes that can affect their biological and psychosocial health. A healthy lifestyle is a fundamental requirement for achieving optimal health. Objectives To examine the impact of psychosocial factors on health promotion behaviors among middle-aged women in Saudi Arabia. Methods A cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational study design was used. One hundred and eighteen middle-aged women completed the demographic questionnaire, Stunkard Figure Rating Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, and Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II from September 2, 2020 to February 15, 2021. Multiple regression analysis was performed to estimate the impact of psychosocial factors on health promotion behaviors. Results Participants “sometimes” engaged in health promotion behaviors. Spiritual growth scored the highest, whereas physical exercise scored the lowest. Most of the participants were dissatisfied with their body image and reported moderate levels of perceived stress. The participants were more likely to report a preferred body image that was smaller than their perceived body image. Perceived stress and body image were significantly correlated with the total score for health promotion behaviors. Perceived stress level, age, and menopause status were significant predictors of health promotion behaviors. The model significantly predicted all the health promotion behavior subscales, excluding nutrition. Conclusion There were relationships between certain psychosocial predictors and health-promoting behaviors. This study can guide healthcare professionals in promoting middle adult women's adoption of health-promoting behaviors. More research can be conducted in Saudi Arabia to understand the health promotion behaviors of middle-aged women.

There is compelling evidence for the psychological effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and earlier epidemics. However, fewer studies have examined the subjective meaning experience of healthcare providers who have survived COVID-19 as patients. This qualitative study aimed to understand further and describe the life experiences of healthcare providers who have survived COVID-19 as patients in Saudi Arabia. Data was collected using unstructured in-depth individual interviews among n = 10 healthcare providers from public hospitals in Saudi Arabia. Data were analyzed based on a phenomenological approach, which resulted in five themes: (i) physical and psychological signs and symptoms; (ii) self-healing, hiding pain, and family; (iii) fear of complications; (iv) disease stigma & long-term psychological outcomes; (v) emotional support, mental well-being & resignation. The overall synthesis showed that healthcare providers, as patients, experience the same difficulties and stressors as the general public. In some cases, these factors are even worse, as family members, colleagues, and employers develop a new type of stigma. Given the impact of social media and the flow of information of any type, more research is needed to examine the sources used to obtain information by the general public, whether these sources are reliable, and how the public can be taught to use only scientific data and not social data. Understanding the experience of healthcare providers as patients during the pandemic has allowed to look at the feelings and needs of people during illness from a new perspective. As expressed by participants, being a healthcare provider does not reduce the fear of the disease and does not mitigate its consequences in the form of stigmatization and isolation.

Background In recent decades, changes in food consumption among adolescents in Arabic speaking countries, including The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), has resulted in increased burden of overweight and obesity. COVID-19 related restrictions have further impacted lifestyle and diet among adolescents in KSA. Aim The present study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, behaviour and dietary patterns of adolescents and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic related restrictions on these behaviours. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in six intermediate schools among 1500 adolescents (11-15 years) via an anonymous online survey. The Chi Square test was used to compare gender stratified nutritional knowledge, attitude and behaviour of adolescents and the impact of COVID-19 related restrictions. To determine the factors associated with nutritional change during COVID-19 lockdown, logistic regression was employed using the categorisation of nutritional change during COVID-19 restrictions versus no change in univariate and multivariate analyses. Results A good level of nutrition-related knowledge and attitude was demonstrated both by female and male students, with 66% and 57% of participants scoring above the median of the total possible knowledge and attitude score, respectively. After adjusting for all variables, higher nutrition knowledge score predicted students to be less likely to report increased food consumption during COVID-19 restrictions, whereas students with higher nutrition attitude scores and with a higher risk of increased food consumption were more likely to increase food consumption during COVID-19 restrictions. Conclusions Unhealthy dietary habits among Saudi adolescents are of paramount public health concern and the COVID-19 restriction period exacerbated the pre-pandemic nutrition-related unhealthy behaviours. Therefore, school-based interventions aiming to promote healthy lifestyles and the wellbeing of Saudi adolescents and use of qualitative recall dietary diary is also crucial to develop programs that prevent unhealthy lifestyles in adolescents in Saudi Arabia.

Public health services in the developing world have predominately focused on curative rather than preventive strategies for managing communicable diseases. Non-communicable diseases however have now emerged as the leading threat to the health and socio-economic prosperity of these nations. The rising incidence of non-communicable diseases in Saudi Arabia and other Arabian Gulf countries now affects younger populations causing longer periods of ill health and decreased labour output. Prevention is vital in battling non-communicable diseases and reducing the strain on the health care system. Almost all non-communicable diseases share modifiable risk factors that require the attention of health care and other sectors to introduce greater preventive measures. This chapter will discuss factors contributing to the obstacles the health systems of countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council face in meeting the growing burden of non-communicable diseases and the steps taken to meet these challenges.

A pilot project was conducted with the aim of training and human resources development in health education, enhancing health education research, and establishing a health promotion and education centre in Al-Qassim region, Saudi Arabia. Health education programmes of three months for males [n = 14] and two to three weeks for females [n = 253] were offered. The work activities of such trained personnel were monitored and evaluated. It was concluded that through these programmes the targeted population could be trained to a satisfactory extent. Second, they would probably be able to convey basic health education concepts to the population at large, especially primary health care centre visitors

Community pharmacies provide access to medicines and pharmaceutical services. Consequently, adequate availability and sufficient workforce capacity must be ensured for effective healthcare delivery. This study assessed the community pharmacy sector in Saudi Arabia, including density, workforce capacity, and evolution from 2007 to 2022.This retrospective study measured community pharmacy infrastructure and workforce capacity using international indicators and standardized measures, including community pharmacy and community pharmacist density per 10,000 people and ratio of community pharmacists per pharmacy. Several data sources and platforms were used to collect the data including the Ministry of Health, Saudi General Authority for Statistics, and Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development.The number of community pharmacies increased by 89.30%, from 5466 in 2007 to 10,347 in 2022, and density increased from 2.25 to 3.22. However, density varied by region, from 3.97 to 1.95. The number of community pharmacists increased by 98.02%, from 10,932 in 2007 to 21,648 in 2022, and community pharmacist density increased from 4.51 to 6.73. However, the ratio of community pharmacists per pharmacy remained unchanged (2.0 in 2007 and 2.1 in 2022). Female pharmacists were first issued licenses to practice in community pharmacies in 2016, and the proportion of female pharmacists to total increased from 0.29% (n=42) in 2016 to 10.95% (n=2370) in 2022. The nationalization policy for community pharmacies was implemented in 2020, and the proportion of Saudi pharmacists increased from 3.08% (n=581) in 2019 to 19.90% (n=4306) in 2022, while proportion of expatriate pharmacists decreased from 96.92% (n=18,292) to 80.10% (n=17,342).The findings showed that the community pharmacy sector in Saudi Arabia recently experienced substantial growth comparable to high-income countries. However, further improvements are required in some regions to increase community pharmacy density. Moreover, the ratio of pharmacists per pharmacy should be improved to meet the healthcare system needs.

Globally, non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), type two diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic respiratory disease are a leading cause of death. These diseases result in the death of around 2.8 million people each year, worldwide (WHO, 2012a).
Western dietary habits and food supplies have resulted in the increased consumption of foods which are unhealthy. The consumption of unhealthy foods which are high in salt, saturated fats, low in fibres and vitamins have a major impact on the health of a person, which then increases the risk of various NCDs diseases such as CVD and T2DM. In terms of the Saudi Arabian population, this trend has caused an increase in the number of Saudi people who are now overweight and obese. Also, not enough dietary surveys have been carried out in KSA and thus the data available is not sufficient to explore the eating habits of the Saudi population. This research aims to develop and validate a culture-specific FFQ for dietary habits of the Saudi people to examine the risk factors associated with T2DM and CVD. Nutritionists were targeted as the sample group because they might have better eating habits than the public (Washi, 2000). In addition, general public members were also targeted to better understand the eating habits of a majority of Saudi people. Participants from both groups in the UK were also solicited. The study aimed to establish a baseline of self-reported behaviour for the sample group in KSA which can be followed in the future. Data was also collected on other related issues such as BMI and physical activity levels.
The study achieved an estimated 47.7% response rate with the use of social media to acquire data. The study established a valid, reliable FFQ for the Saudi population, which allows for collecting sufficient data on the risk factors related to CVD and T2DM. The FFQ proved as a good tool in establishing a baseline for Saudi nutritionists and public for future cohort measurements.
Comparing the results of the FFQs for screening the risk factors of CVD and T2DM in Saudi population showed an interesting trend. The analysis showed that there is a greater ratio of population who are smokers, overweight, obese and inactive in Saudi Arabia as compared to the British living in the UK. Hence, the implementation of important policies and intervention programmes is highly recommended in KSA. Awareness schemes to increase the community’s knowledge about CVD and T2DM risk factors is necessary to encourage nutritionists and specifically young adults in KSA to adopt healthy balanced diets while promoting physical activity and avoiding harmful activities.

Introduction Political, economic, social, cultural, environmental and other factors can all favour health or be harmful to ‘good health’. The aim of health advocates is to modify these factors to promote health. Religion too provides opportunities to improve health. It can offer motivation, encouragement and support for healthy lifestyles and behavioural choices. The tobacco industry views religionbased tobacco control activities as a real threat. As far back as 1987, the industry had recognized the need “to develop a system by which Philip Morris can measure trends on the issue of Smoking and Islam†. Their plan was to identify “Islamic religious leaders who oppose interpretations of the Qur’an which would ban the use of tobacco and encourage support for these leaders.†In 2002, the Ministry of Health of Saudi Arabia adopted a new and radical policy approach to strengthening tobacco control through religion. It launched an initiative to make the two holiest cities in Islam, Mecca and Medina, not just smoke-free but literally tobacco-free. The rationale and experiences of the Saudi government in regulating tobacco use in Mecca and Medina are examined in this report.

To investigate factors associated with tobacco cessation among patients with (diabetes or hypertension) who attended Ministry of Health (MOH) Tobacco Cessation Clinics (TCC), Saudi Arabia over the years 2012-2017.A case control study was conducted with 402 respondents. Data collection took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from January 2018 to April 2018. Cases were patients with diabetes or hypertension who had been abstinent from tobacco for at least 6 months after attending MOH tobacco cessation clinics. Controls were patients with chronic diseases who had not quit tobacco after cessation clinics. Data were collected through a questionnaire by telephone interviews. Descriptive analysis, bivariate analysis, and multivariable regression were carried out.Overall, 85 (21.1%) respondents had successfully quit tobacco, while 317 (78.9%) had not. Among those who had not quit cigarettes, 97 (42.4%) had reduced cigarette consumption, the mean difference in cigarette smoking from before to after MOH TCC was 01.812±5.928 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.584-1.040). Most of those who used other forms of tobacco 16 (72.7%) had not changed their consumption. The likelihood of successfully quitting tobacco increased with those lower educational level (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=17.01, 95% CI: 1.00-289.2, p=0.05) and among those who reported controlled hypertension (AOR=17.8, 95% CI: 1.5-209.6, p=0.02).To increase abstention rates, chronic disease counseling with regular follow-ups, providing toll-free telephone services should be considered. More effort is needed to reduce non-cigarette tobacco consumption.
