    Abstract Purpose: The study aims to describe the quality of life (QoL) in Omani children with epilepsy at Sultan Qaboos University Hospital, Oman.
    Methods: One hundred and one Omani children, with an age range from 5 to 18 years, diagnosed with epilepsy were enrolled in the study over 3 months. Descriptive epidemiology was used to characterize QoL in these children. QoL was measured using the PedsQL (4.0) questionnaire, a 23-item child and parent report questionnaire. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare mean QoL scores, and agreement between the QoL reports of children and parents was evaluated using Spearman's rho; while, Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was performed to determine differences in subscale ratings.
    Results: Factors affecting QoL included family status, income level, social security coverage, type of treatment, seizure frequency, age of onset, and seizure-free duration in years. Children between 5 and 7 years and females, in general, were most affected, as reflected by the overall QoL subscale. Consistency between the children's self-reports and parent proxy reports on the PedsQL™ was moderate to low.
    Conclusion: Omani children with epilepsy have poor QoL, and their psychosocial function is severely affected. Therefore, QoL should be an important outcome measure in managing children with epilepsy rather than just seizure control.

    Abstract COVID-19 has gripped the world with lightning speed. Since the onset of the pandemic, activity throughout the world came to a grinding halt. However, business had to continue and people have to learn to live with the virus while the pandemic continues to rage. Medical education is no exception and may even deserve special mention, as it prepares frontline workers against the endemics of tomorrow. We discuss here the journey of medical education at the College of Medicine and Health Sciences at Sultan Qaboos University, Muscat, Oman, as the pandemic struck the world and Oman. This work suggests a roadmap for changes, discusses challenges and proposes measures to mitigate the effects of COVID-19 on medical schools.

    Abstract Background Inconsistent evidence concerning the clinical practice implications of the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) pre-service education exists in the literature. The aim of this study is to assess the IMCI pre-service training perceptions of medical students, including their willingness to prospectively utilize the IMCI guidelines in clinical settings. Methods This is an observational cross-sectional study that was conducted between June 1 and August 31, 2022, at the College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Sultan Qaboos University (SQU), Muscat, Sultanate of Oman. The demographic data and IMCI pre-service education perceptions were recorded via the 10 close-ended questions. The questions focused on the student's perception of the usefulness of IMCI pre-service training in improving their knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding childhood illnesses and how well it has enhanced their skills in dealing with sick children. SPSS Statistics version 26.0 (IBM Corp. Released 2019. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 26.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.) was used to analyze the data. Results A total of 196 responses were collected, with 117 of them being from female participants and the remaining 79 from male participants. Participants were subcategorized into phase 2 (n=103), phase 3A (pre-clerkship, n=45), and phase 3B (junior clerkship, n=48). At least 67.8% of 171 medical students complying with one to two training sessions intended to apply their IMCI pre-service education knowledge and skills in clinical practice and parental counseling. The medical knowledge and clinical practice skill enhancement abilities of the IMCI sessions were recognized by ≥49.7% of medical students. The student responses regarding childhood illness management (p=0.03) and holistic assessment confidence (p=0.042) varied significantly between the study phases. The IMCI pre-service skills, knowledge, and confidence levels were observed in 47.1% (phase 2), 13.2% (phase 3A), and 35.5% (phase 3B) of medical students. Similarly, 40.2% (phase 2), 23.7% (phase 3A), and 54.8% (phase 3B) of subjects believed in the IMCI pre-service training's influence on their ability to perform holistic assessments in the pediatric population. Conclusion The overall results of this study advocate the clinical practice implications, based on the positive student perceptions, of the IMCI pre-service training in SQU. Future qualitative studies should evaluate these findings with wider student populations.
