Abstract	Background: Depression, anxiety and stress are prevalent among healthcare providers but limited data is available regarding respiratory therapists (RTs). This study aimed to assess the prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress, and identify the associated sociodemographic factors among RTs in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was distributed to RTs in Saudi Arabia. Data were summarized using frequency and percentages. Stress, anxiety, and depression prevalence rates were expressed as proportions with 95% confidence intervals (CI). The associated factors of stress, anxiety, and depression were subjected to logistic regression. Results: Overall, 988 (91%) RTs, 661 (66.9%) males, completed the online survey. The prevalence (95% CI) of depression, anxiety and stress among RTs was 81.3% (0.787, 0.837), 89.6% (0.875, 0.914), and 45.5% (0.424, 0.487), respectively. RT staff who were ≥41 years old, divorced, widowed or separated, or had > 10 years of clinical experience were more likely to experience stress. RTs who were (divorced, widowed or separated), did not live with their family, were current smokers, or worked the night shift were more likely to experience anxiety. RTs who were (divorced, widowed or separated), were current smokers, had >10 years of clinical experience were more likely to experience depression. Conclusion: Stress, anxiety and depression are prevalent among RTs. Several sociodemographic factors are associated with the incidence of stress, anxiety and depression.

Abstract	Background: Heart failure (HF) patients require a holistic management approach to improve their clinical outcomes. Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation (CR) is a core component of HF patients' management and is supervised by a multidisciplinary team including nurses. Nursing attitudes regarding CR delivery for patients with HF and the possible barriers and factors that potentially affect referral have not been explored. Therefore, this study seeks to evaluate nurses' attitudes towards the delivery of CR programs and the possible barriers and factors that potentially influence the decision for a referral. Methods: An online survey with eight multiple-choice items was disseminated to all nurses between February and July 2022 in Saudi Arabia. The characteristics of the respondents were described using descriptive statistics. Percentages and frequencies were used to report categorical variables. Results: Overall, 1056 nurses completed the online survey, of which 395 (37.40%) were male. Out of 1056 nurses, 414 (39.20%) strongly agreed that CR would improve patients' physical fitness, and 392 (37.10%) strongly agreed that CR would reduce breathlessness in patients with HF. In total, 381 nurses strongly agreed (36.10%) that CR would improve HF patients' palpitation and fatigue. Out of 1056 nurses, 396 (37.50%) strongly agreed that CR would improve HF patients' ability to perform daily activities, and 326 (30.90%) strongly agreed that CPR would reduce the rate of hospital readmission. The at-home program was the preferred mode of delivering CR programs among 607 (57.50%) nurses. Apart from the exercise component, symptom management was perceived by 704 (66.70%) nurses as the fundamental component of CR programs. The most common patient-related factor that strongly affected the decisions regarding referral was "mobility affected by breathlessness" (57%). A lack of CR centers (46%) was the most common barrier. Conclusion: Nurses perceived CR as an effective management strategy for HF patients. Although a home-based program, with symptom management being an essential component, in addition to the exercise component, was perceived as the preferred mode of delivery, CR centers are lacking, which represented a significant barrier to CR referral from the nurses' perspective.

Abstract	Aim: This study aims to assess the prevalence of asthma triggers and control status among pediatric asthmatic patients in Saudi Arabia. Methods: From October 2015 to March 2016, an Arabic version of the Asthma Trigger Inventory questionnaire and asthma control test (ACT) were distributed to 200 parents of children diagnosed with asthma at the pulmonary clinic of King Fahad Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Data were collected and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 29. Descriptive statistics of the participants were presented in frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations for categorical variables. Results: The survey data revealed that the most prevalent asthma triggers among pediatric asthmatic children in Saudi Arabia were Arabic incense (Bakhour) with a mean score of 3.76 (±1.3), followed by being excited 3.70 (±1.5), and stress at home 3.58 (±1.4). Furthermore, the degree of asthma control among children with asthma in Saudi Arabia was 72.0% with a mean score of 17.7 (±4.7) for the ACT, indicating partial degree of asthma. Conclusions: Arabic incense (Bakhour) and psychological stimuli emerged as significant determinants of asthma triggers in Saudi Arabian children diagnosed with asthma. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the physiological mechanisms underpinning the response to Arabic incense (Bakhour).

Abstract	COVID-19 poses a significant burden to healthcare systems. Healthcare organisations with better health innovation infrastructures have faced a reduced burden and achieved success in curbing COVID-19. In Saudi Arabia, digital technologies have played a vital role in fighting SARS-CoV-2 transmission. In this paper, we aimed to summarise the experience of optimising digital health technologies in Saudi Arabia as well as to discuss capabilities and opportunities during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. A literature search was conducted up to September 2021 to document the experience of using DHTPs in Saudi Arabia in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. We also considered any published data, press briefings, and announcements by the MOH in Saudi Arabia. The findings were synthesised in narrative form. Health officials succeeded in optimising and maintaining a strategy to mitigate the spread of the virus via different digital technologies, such as mobile health applications, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. The quick digital response in Saudi Arabia was facilitated by governmental support and by considering users and technology determinants. Future research must concentrate on establishing and updating the guidelines for using DHTPs.

Abstract	Since the beginning of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the responses of countries to emerging infectious diseases have altered dramatically, increasing the demand for health-care practitioners. Telehealth (TH) applications could have an important role in supporting public health precautions and the control of the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. This review summarizes the existing literature on the current status of TH applications used during COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia and discusses the extent to which TH can support public health measures. TH mobile applications (e.g., Seha, Mawid, Tawakklna, Tabaud, and Tetamman) have found effective tools to facilitate delivering healthcare to persons with COVID-19, and tracking of COVID-19 patients. TH has been essential in the control of the spread of COVID-19 and has helped to flatten the growth curve in Saudi Arabia. Further research is needed to explore the impact of TH applications on the progression of COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia.

Abstract	Background: Obesity is a common cause of dyspnea. However, the impacts of obesity on spirometry parameters, particularly among individuals with unexplained dyspnea, have not been well investigated. Objectives: This study aimed to explore the prevalence of overweight and different classes of obesity and their effect on spirometry parameters among subjects with unexplained dyspnea in Saudi Arabia. Methods: We conducted a retrospective electronic medical record review of individuals with unexplained dyspnea who visited our pulmonary clinic between January 2016 and December 2022 and assessed the association of body mass index (BMI) with spirometry parameters. After we classified the subjects based on their BMI values, we determined the impacts of increased BMI on spirometry parameters. Results: The sample included a total of 978 subjects with unexplained dyspnea. The prevalence of overweight and obesity among our study sample was high (33 % and 47 %, respectively). All spirometry parameters: forced vital capacity (FVC) L, forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV Conclusion: The high prevalence of obesity and overweight and the impairment of lung function because of high body weight among subjects with dyspnea point to the need for routine assessment and the evaluation of nutritional status in primary health care facilities for early intervention.

Abstract	Objective: This study aims to assess beliefs about asthma controller medications among parents of Saudi Arabian children with asthma and the association between these beliefs and medication adherence using the Necessity-Concerns Framework. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was provided to parents of children with asthma when they brought their children to routine appointments at local public clinics between May 16 and July 10, 2018. Participants electronically filled out validated Arabic versions of the Medication Adherence Reported Scale (MARS) and Beliefs About Medications Questionnaire (BMQ). Descriptive statistics were used to characterize the study participants, while hierarchical linear regression analysis assessed associations between parental beliefs about controller medications and medication adherence. Results: A total of 381 parents of children with asthma completed the study survey. The vast majority (89%) of study participants were non-adherent to their children's prescribed medications while only 11% were adherent. Additionally, our study revealed a significantly positive association between adherence and parents' beliefs in the necessity of the medication ( Conclusions: Medication adherence among parents of children with asthma was relatively low. In addition, necessity beliefs were significantly associated with parental adherence to controller medications for their children with asthma. Further studies are warranted to investigate potential factors contributing to poor parental adherence and develop tailored interventions that support parental medication adherence for their asthmatic children.

Abstract	Background: Nonadherence to therapies and psychological disorders are associated with poor asthma control. This study aims to assess the prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms, asthma control, and adherence to inhalers and to investigate whether there is an association of anxiety and depressive symptoms with adherence to inhalers and asthma control. Methods: We measured anxiety and depressive symptoms using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale in patients with asthma. Asthma Control Test and the 10-Item Test of Adherence to Inhalers Scale were used to assess levels of asthma control adherence to inhalers, respectively. Univariate and multivariate regression models assessed the associations of anxiety and depressive symptoms with adherence to inhalers and asthma control. Results: A total of 287 patients completed the study, of whom 72% were female. The mean ± SD age and body mass index of our study population were 44 ± 13 years and 29 ± 7.2 kg/m Conclusions: The high prevalence of uncontrolled asthma symptoms and poor adherence to inhalers and their impact on anxiety and depression levels among patients with asthma point to the need for early screening for psychological symptoms and recognition of nonadherence as part of asthma assessment and management plan in primary care in Saudi Arabia to avoid further worsening of asthma symptoms. Further studies are needed to explore the effectiveness of specific psychoeducational interventions and investigate the long-term impact of early psychological symptom detection on asthma outcomes.

Abstract	Background: Tobacco smoking is one of the most significant health-related problems worldwide. However, the prevalence and sociodemographic determinants of tobacco and nicotine use among students on healthcare courses in Saudi Arabia are limited. Methods: This cross-sectional study used a questionnaire that was distributed via SurveyMonkey between November 2022 and June 2023 to all student universities offering healthcare courses. Data are presented as frequency and percentages. The associated sociodemographic factors with current tobacco and nicotine use were subjected to logistic regression. Results: Overall, 5,012, of whom 3,872 (77.25%) were males, responded to the online survey. The prevalence of current tobacco and nicotine use was 3,553 (71%). The majority of users used electronic nicotine delivery systems (1,622: 32.36%). The current use of cigarettes (AOR: 1.75 (1.42 to 2.15)), e-cigarettes (AOR: 1.17 (1.01 to 1.37)), and smokeless tobacco substances (AOR: 1.35 (1.02 to 1.90)) were more pronounced among males compared to female students. However, the current use of a hookah was less among males (AOR: 0.74 (95% CI: 61 to 0.91)). Smoking cigarettes was practiced less among students living in other regions compared to the Central Region. However, smokeless tobacco substances seem to be more prevalent in the Western, Southern, and Northern Regions, (AOR: 1.57 (95% CI: 1.09 to 2.26)), (AOR: 1.43 (95% CI: 1.04 to 1.95)), and (AOR: 1.57 (95% CI: 1.09 to 2.26)), respectively. Conclusion: Smoking is prevalent among students in the healthcare disciplines, with electronic nicotine delivery systems being the most used product. Several sociodemographic factors were associated with higher tobacco or nicotine use.
