Introduction: School has a significant impact on a child’s physical and mental growth. A child’s vulnerability to accidents and injuries increases when he or she is in primary school. Teachers are the children’s first caregivers in elementary school. Parents fully dedicate their children to the educational system. At school, they regard the teachers to be their second parents. The purpose of this study is to determine how much first-aid knowledge a Health assigned teacher have and how that knowledge connects to demographic factors. It aids in determining the requirement for enhanced awareness in order to prevent serious consequences and effectively manage these situations. Methodology: Cross sectional study among primary school teachers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A predesigned questionnaire is to be used for data collection. Respondents will receive the questionnaire to complete it. The parameters included in the questionnaire included age, gender and other questions that is related to the first aid application. Results: The p values for age, gender, nationality, years of experience, and kind of school are all 0.300, 0.067, 0.962, and 0.569, respectively, according to the Likert scale that was used to assess the 17 knowledge questions with two points in this study. In order to evaluate the first aid knowledge and awareness of primary school teachers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the survey’s final findings are presented: the main score is 8.13, and the standard deviation is 2.43. Conclusion: We came to the conclusion from our study of primary school teachers in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, that the majority of them lacked the training required to provide first aid to pupils in an emergency.

Background: Worldwide, type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a public health concern and a major cause of morbidity and mortality. In general, most type 2 diabetic patients are managed in primary healthcare centers. Screening for Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) must not be neglected among patients, and studies suggest that DR is a predictive factor for Diabetic Nephropathy (DN). Aim: To evaluate the possible associations between retinopathy and nephropathy in Saudi patients with type 2 DM attending family medical centers. Methodology: A retrospective study included patients with type 2 diabetes reporting for fundus photography at the Retina Clinic at Al-Wazarat center, Prince Sultan Military Medical City (PSMMC) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia between January 2019

Background: Successful insulin pump therapy is influenced by patient’s adherence to self-care behaviors. Local data about the practices of patients using insulin pump are limited. The objective was to examine insulin pump related knowledge and practices among patients with T1D. Methods: A survey study was conducted among adult patients with T1D receiving care at a specialized center in Saudi Arabia. Data were collected between January and March 2021 using 56-item questionnaire covering 10 domains of insulin pump practices. Results: A total 71 patients were included. The average age was 27.6±7.9 years and 74.6% of the patients were females. The average duration of diabetes was 12.8±6.8 years. The overall score of knowledge and practices was 69.4%. The domain with highest score was pump operations (81.3%), followed by pump failure and issues (73.2%), recording and follow up (72.8%), temporary pump removal (71.5%), use of advanced pump features (70.6%), travel and going out (69.9%), management of acute complications (69.7%), pump maintenance (64.1%), exercises and stressful conditions (63.0%), and lastly infusion site infection (24.7%). There were no associations between the level of knowledge and practices and the patient’s age and gender. Approximately half (50.7%) of the patients expressed their need for counselling to improve their skills in using insulin pump. Conclusions: The current findings point to the domains that need further education and training, specially guarding against infusion site infection and exercise-induced hypoglycemia. The findings justify conducting a larger pre and post study to examine the impact of customized reeducation intervention.

Background: Several studies confirm the high prevalence of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) risk among women in Saudi Arabia. Few have focused on the association between cardiovascular risk and health beliefs. The current study examined health beliefs of Saudi women related to CVD. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on women attending the primary care clinics in a university hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Health belief and sociodemographic data were collected, and Framingham Risk Scores was 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 behaviors. 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. There was a significant relationship between the Framingham Risk Scores across income, marital status, education, and occupational status categories (p≤0.001). Significant differences were found when comparing perceived benefits of healthy behaviors 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: Majority of Saudi women did not feel susceptible to CVD, although multiple risk factors were found to be present. Successful public health policy may demonstrate a reduction in the population burden of CVDs among Saudi women is warranted.
