Knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards iron deficiency anemia among paramedical college staff and students in a Saudi university
Despite the adequate knowledge and the favorable attitudes, both staff and students demonstrated suboptimal dietary behavior to prevent IDA. A significant gender-based difference in IDA prevalence was found among students, suggesting that awareness alone may not ensure consistent preventive behaviors across genders. These findings highlight modifiable gaps that merit further research to guide educational initiatives aimed at reducing IDA risk in …

The Relationships of Watching Television, Computer Use, Physical Activity, and Food Preferences to Body Mass Index
High levels of sedentary and low levels of physical activities as well as high consumption of high-fat fast foods and high-sugar drinks threaten the health of Saudi adolescents. Cultural differences in lifestyle between Saudi and non-Saudi families should be considered when developing programs to improve knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding diet quality and physical activity. The objective of this study is more important in the current s…
Differences among Saudi and Expatriate Students
Background : Being overweight at a young age is a predictor of developing obesity and related complications later in adulthood, posing a high risk to public health. Various ethnic subgroups have been identified as having a higher prevalence of overweight or obese. Saudi Arabia is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, where the expatriate population comprises 33% of its total population. The objective of this study was to investigate …
Effect of Antenatal Exercises, Including Yoga, on the Course of Labor, Delivery and Pregnancy
Background : Delivering a child is a very stressful experience for women. Pregnancy and labor entail complex events that are unique to each individual female. The management of labor pain is often done using analgesics and anesthesia, which have been shown to have some side effects. More comprehensive data are needed to provide clinically significant evidence for clinicians to confidently prescribe exercises to patients. This study was done to ev…
Experiences of Overseas Trained Physical Therapists Working in Saudi Arabia
Background: Health professionals, including physical therapists (PTs), are known to migrate for better jobs, as well as for personal and professional development. However, this involves risks of maladjustment, discrimination, and exploitation. We conducted this study to investigate the experiences of overseas trained PTs in Saudi Arabia (SA) and their perceptions about physical therapy practice and problems regarding the profession in the country…
Effect of Gender, Physical Activity and Stress-Related Hormones on Adolescent’s Academic Achievements
Optimal physical activity and release of stress-related hormones could be the determining factor for performance in school and other activities. These results should be taken into consideration while planning the school curriculum
Effect of Passive Stretching of Respiratory Muscles on Chest Expansion and 6-Minute Walk Distance in COPD Patients
Although COPD is an irreversible disease, results of this study indicate that passive stretching of respiratory muscles can clinically improve the condition of such patients, especially in terms of chest expansion and 6MWD. Given the good effects of muscle stretching and the fact that such an exercise is harmless, clinicians and physiotherapists should consider including passive stretching of respiratory muscles in the rehabilitation plan of COPD…
Effect of Chronic Ankle Sprain on Pain, Range of Motion, Proprioception, and Balance among Athletes
Background : Ankle sprains are common among physically active individuals, especially among athletes. Majority of those who suffer ankle sprains have residual symptoms including pain, episodes of giving way, compromised proprioception and neuromuscular control, and re-injury leading to chronic ankle instability. The aim of this study was to see the effect of chronic ankle sprain on pain, range of motion, proprioception, and, static and dynamic ba…
Beliefs and Attitudes of Paramedical College Staff Towards Complementary and Alternate Medicine
Background: Complementary and alternate medicine (CAM) has been defined as a group of diverse medical and healthcare systems, practices, and products not presently considered part of conventional medicine (CM). Studies in different countries have revealed a geographical difference in the knowledge about CAM therapies, especially among medical school staff and students. This study aimed to assess the extent of CAM use among staff working in parame…
