The relationship between Problematic Social Media Use and academic performance among university students in the Mena region

However, the use of SNSs can shift from a normal daily habit to an excessive and hard-to-control behavior, negatively affecting physical and mental health and causing Problem…
Adherence to the Mediterranean diet and colorectal cancer risk
Objective: The Mediterranean diet (MD) is a dietary pattern associated with several health benefits, including reduction of risk for various cancers. We conducted a study to investigate associations between adherence to the MD and colorectal cancer (CRC) subtype risk among Moroccan adults. Design: A matched case–control study. Setting: The five major university hospitals in Morocco. Participants: A total of 3032 subjects (1516 CRC patients and 15…
The mediating effect of the dark future between optimism-pessimism and fear of artificial intelligence in young adults from four Arab countries—a path analysis approach
This study aimed to assess the mediating effect of the dark future between optimism-pessimism and fear of artificial intelligence (AI). This cross-sectional study was conducted between June and December 2023, enrolling 1849 participants from four Arab countries. The data were collected using a Google Forms. Path analysis was performed using SPSS AMOS v.30. The results revealed that the dark future mediated the associations between pessimism and f…
Cross-country validation of the Arabic version of the WHO-5 Well-Being Index in non-clinical young adults from six Arab countries
This study aimed to perform a cross-country validation of the Arabic version of the World Health Organization 5-item (WHO-5) Well-Being Index, in terms of factor structure, composite reliability, cross-gender measurement invariance and concurrent validity. We carried out a cross-sectional, web-based study on a total of 3,247 young adults (aged 18–35 years) from six Arab countries (Tunisia, Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco and Kuwait). Confirmatory…
Effective and ineffective psychological adjustment in breast cancer patients before receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy
Programs to strengthen psychological adjustment in patients with BC candidates for NACT, taking into consideration the determinants found associated in this study, are of great importance since the first oncology consultation
Suicide literacy mediates the path from religiosity to suicide stigma among Muslim community adults
BACKGROUND: The majority of research attention has been devoted to the link between religiosity and suicide risk, and a considerable amount of studies has been carried out on how stigma impacts individuals with mental health problems of different kinds. However, the interplay between religiosity, suicide literacy and suicide stigma has seldom been empirically researched, especially quantitatively. We sought through this study to redress the imbal…
Psychometric properties of the Problematic Online Gaming Questionnaire (Pogq) in a Moroccan sample of university students
The Arabic version of POGQ revealed adequate psychometric properties. As a result, the instrument might be used to measure the degree of problematic online gaming. The use of the POGQ is expected to further promote research on online game dependence treatment and prevention
Cross-Country Validation of the Arabic Version of the Prodromal Questionnaire–Brief (PQ‐B) in Young Adults from the General Population of the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) Region
Mental illness stigma as a moderator in the relationship between religiosity and help-seeking attitudes among Muslims from 16 Arab countries
Our findings preliminarily suggest that mental illness stigma is a modifiable individual factor that seems to strengthen the direct positive effect of religiosity on help-seeking attitudes. This provides potential insights on possible anti-stigma interventions that might help overcome reluctance to counseling in highly religious Arab Muslim communities
Psychoactive substances use and associated factors among middle and high school students in the North Center of Morocco
The prevalence among all school students reported by the current study was comparable to the national prevalence. Efforts to initiate psychoactive substance prevention programs among school students should be made by designing such programs based on the significant factors associated with psychoactive substance use identified in this study
