. Abstract Introduction: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms have a negative impact on children’s cognitive, emotional, behavioral, social, and academic performance. Therefore, greater focus should be directed toward increasing awareness of this condition. Aim of Work: To evaluate the effect of an interventional educational program focused on ADHD knowledge among elementary school teachers. Materials and Methods: A Randomized Controlled Trial was conducted among 72 elementary school teachers in the Zagazig educational administration, Sharkia governorate, Egypt, during the second term of the 2021–2022 school year. Sample participants were selected from the elementary schools’ teacher lists provided by the educational administration using a simple randomizing technique and were divided into two groups. Each group (control and intervention) included 36 teachers assigned in matched pairs. Both groups had their knowledge regarding ADHD assessed using a predesigned scale (Knowledge of Attention Deficit Disorders Scale) (KADDS) and were reevaluated three months later after the educational intervention was administered to the intervention group. Results: A statistically significant improvement was observed among teacher knowledge regarding ADHD postintervention in the intervention group compared to the control (p = 0.001). Conclusion and Recommendations: Educational interventions significantly improved teachers’ understanding of ADHD and will allow them to better support students who have ADHD. The possibility of incorporating an ADHD knowledge enhancement

Introduction: Job burnout is a substantial problem among health care workers. Aim of Work: To determine the prevalence of burnout, its predictors among nurses working in primary health care facilities during COVID-19 in Egypt. Materials and Methods: A multicenter descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on all nurses (250) working in primary health care facilities (11 units and 5 centers) in Port said city between March and June 2020. An interviewer-administered questionnaire including socio-demographic, occupational and contextual questions contributing to burnout. While the second one was the standardized Arabic version of Maslach Burnout Inventory(MBI). Results: The prevalence of high burnout among nurses was 86%. The most prevalent subscale was low level personal accomplishment followed by high depersonalization (DP) then emotional exhaustion (EE). Time insufficiency for family, bad work relationships, being a technical nurses and inflexibility in work scheduling were predictors of both EE and DP. Moreover, EE was significantly associated with married female nurses who experienced work-related stress. While high

Introduction: Social isolation began in 2020 because of the new coronavirus pandemic, and online classes began as a distant learning strategy to replace classroom-based study routines. As a result, over a longer period, medical students adopted a different physical posture than usual, potentially raising the risk of musculoskeletal pain. Aim of Work: To calculate the percentage of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) and its associated factors among undergraduate Ain Shams medical students subjected to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic , and to find out the association between MSD, and psychological distress including anxiety, depression and stress. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among adults aged 18 years old or more from both genders. A convenience sample of 340 medical students were included in the study through an anonymous English self-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire was divided into five sections: sociodemographic characteristics, academic related and health related conditions, Standardized Nordic Questionnaire and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale -21 items (DASS-21). Results: The participants mean age was 21.38 ± 1.6. Among the participants, 59.4% were females, all of them were single, and 80.7% were from urban areas. The percentage of students with musculoskeletal complaints was (53.8%) before the COVID-19 pandemic but increased to 73.1% during the pandemic. Neck pain was the most common musculoskeletal disorder with 50.6%, followed by low back pain (8.2%) in the studied sample. There were statistically significant associations between age, female gender, residence, depression, anxiety and occurrence of MSDS (p<0.05). As regards academic related characteristics, longer sitting hours per day for online studying, static head posture, and awkward posture in which the back was bent or twisted were statistically significantly associated with MSDs (p<0.05). Conclusion and Recommendations: There was an increased incidence of musculoskeletal pain among undergraduate medical students subjected to remote learning. Authorities must be aware of this health issue to develop strategies and effective initiatives, and programs.
