A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted in the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia. Convenience sampling was used to recruit participants comprising hemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD), and kidney transplantation (Tx) patients. ey completed the Short Form-36 Survey and the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS). e physical component summary (PCS) score was similar for HD (41.7) and PD (41.5), but higher among Tx (45.2). e mental component summary (MCS) score was similar between HD (48.0) and Tx (48.8), but lower in PD (42.3). e majority of patients in all groups had normal levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. Overall, the study found that PCS was higher among Tx patients compared to HD and PD, while MCS was higher among HD and Tx patients than PD patients. Most patients' levels of depression, anxiety, and stress were within the normal range. ose findings will provide policymakers and health managers with the significant factors which can affect the QOL of dialysis and Tx patients.

The aim of the study is to gain insight into the coping strategies employed by postpartum women and to explore how these strategies are influenced by various demographic and maternity factors. Methods The study adopted a quantitative, cross-sectional design. Data were collected from 239 postpartum women receiving care at a Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic using self-reported tools, which include the Brief COPE survey and the socio-demographics and obstetric/maternal history form from October 2022 to April 2023.

Additionally, both genders of children were associated with more emotional-focused coping (p = 0.007) compared to only having boys. Cesarean section delivery (p = 0.001) was associated with more avoid...

To examine the interrelated impacts of work-related stress, compassion satisfaction (CS), and job satisfaction on burnout (BO) and secondary traumatic stress (STS) among nurses using structural equation modelling (SEM). Methods. A cross-sectional design was used to survey 727 nurses at a teaching hospital in eastern Saudi Arabia. Three scales were used: the Quality of Life (ProQOL) scale, the Nursing Stress Scale (NSS), and the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS). Data were analysed using SPSS and Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS), and SEM analysis was conducted to confirm the interrelations among variables. Results. The final model had a good fit for the obtained data (X2 = 2.726, RMSEA = 0.032). Stress is directly related to BO and STS, and the following variables were directly related to STS: job satisfaction, BO, and CS. Lastly, BO mediated the relationship between stress and STS.

Patients’ QOL score was less than their caregiver and both have poorer QOL compared to general population. Patients’ and caregivers’ Physical Component Summary (PCS) were negatively correlated with their age. Moreover, caregivers’ Mental Component Summary (MCS) was negatively correlated with their age. Single patients have higher PCS than married and widowed. Working patients have higher PCS than not working and retired. However there was no correlation between patients’ a...

The respondents were working in different units, which were non-critical care (78.4%) and critical care units (21.6%). Nearly 67.1% of respondents had a high level of knowledge and only 2.4% of respondents had a low level of knowledge on MRSA transmission. About 80% of respondents had a high level of perception and 19.2% had moderate perception about MRSA transmission prevention. Most of the respondents (94.5%) said that they carried out a good practice for MRSA transmission prevention and only 5.5% had moderate level of practice of MRSA transmission prevention among nurses in this study.

The objective of this study was to examine the social support and self-care activities among the elderly patients with diabetes. A survey involving 200 patients was conducted from March 2013 to May 2013 in three hospitals in Kelantan. Data were obtained through self-administered questionnaires and clinical characteristics were acquired from the patients' records. The scores for social support (mean = 19.26; SD = 2.63) and self-care activities (mean = 14.83; SD = 4.92) were moderate. Higher social support was associated with high levels of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood sugar (FBS) level, the duration of diabetes and a decrease in body mass index (BMI) (p<0.05). It was observed that the patients with low educational, Hb1Ac and FBS level, with other chronic diseases and who have had diabetes for some time ...

The aims of the study were to identify knowledge and perception toward calcium intake among students at UiTM and to explore the differences between genders in dietary calcium intake. A cross sectional study was conducted through 336 students aged 18 to 34 years old. The participants were randomly chosen from the student’s enrolment list. A modified questionnaire was used to obtain the knowledge and perception of the participants. More than half of the participants have low knowledge regarding dietary calcium intake (58.6%), positive view towards the benefits of calcium intake and low perception towards the barrier of calcium intake. Chi square analysis showed a significant difference between male and female for knowledge (p=0.034) and barrier (p=0.002) for calcium intake.
