    Background: Widowed women often experience psychological pressures, and their psychological security can be influenced by various factors such as employment, housing situations, and age. In post-conflict and post-disaster scenarios, widowed women are particularly vulnerable to psychological distress due to exposure to traumatic events and ongoing stressors. Aims: This study aimed to examine the impact of cardio-karate training on reducing psychological pressures and enhancing the psychological security of widowed women. Methodology: The study utilized an experimental approach, involving a sample of 30 widowed women who were affiliated with the Benaa Association for the Care of Widows and Divorced Women in the Eastern Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The participants were divided equally into two groups: an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group underwent the cardio-karate training program, while the control group did not receive any specific intervention. Psychological stress was measured using a scale, and another measure was used to assess psychological security. Results: The results indicated that the experimental group showed significant improvements compared to the control group in terms of psychological stress levels and enhancing psychological security among widowed women (p < 0.05). The cardio-karate training program had a positive impact on reducing psychological pressures and increasing stability and psychological security among widowed women. Recommendations: Based on these findings, several recommendations can be made for future research and practice. Firstly, it is important to replicate this study with a larger sample size to further validate the results. Additionally, conducting long-term follow-up assessments would provide insights into the sustainability of the effects of cardio karate training on psychological well-being among widowed women. Furthermore, it would be beneficial to explore the specific mechanisms through which cardio-karate training influences psychological stress reduction and psychological security. This could involve examining physiological markers, such as cortisol levels, as well as exploring the psychological processes involved in building self-confidence and resilience. In terms of practical implications, integrating cardio karate training programs into support services for widowed women could be beneficial. These programs can provide a holistic approach to addressing psychological pressures and enhancing psychological security. Additionally, raising awareness among widowed women about the potential benefits of such training programs may encourage their participation and engagement.

    BACKGROUND: Health awareness and higher-order thinking skills have become important requirements for higher education students because these skills make students effective problem-solvers. So, this study aimed to promote students’ health awareness and higher-order thinking skills through the E-projects strategy in learning physical and health education. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The experimental study was conducted at Imam Abdulrahman bin Faisal University, KSA, from September 5 to December 23, 2021. The study was conducted on 250 students (age: 18.23 ± 0.66 years). They were divided into 10 groups each group prepared a different E-project according to the intended learning outcomes of the physical and health education course. To collect data, two scales were designed, the first to measure health awareness and the second to measure higher-order thinking skills. Moreover, the ADDIE model was used during the implementation of the E-projects strategy in learning. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 22 software. The level of significance was set at P ≤ 0.05. RESULTS: The results showed that there were statistically significant differences between pre and post-measurement in all studied variables in favor of post-tests for the experimental group, as the mean differences in health awareness were (29.33) and ranged from (8.63: 10.01) in higher-order thinking skills (HOTS), the percentages of improvement for health awareness was 14.66%. While the rates of improvement in the higher-order thinking skills ranged between 26.28% to 48.78%. CONCLUSION: The major conclusion drawn from this study was that the application of the E-projects strategy in learning physical and health education using the ADDIE model significantly influences the improvement of students’ health awareness and higher-order thinking skills in higher education.

    Special education settings have experienced technological innovation that have advanced the development of various skills. Gamification is increasingly used to enhance the skills of individuals with special needs. There have been some studies and limited systematic reviews of gamification in general and special needs settings in particular, however, gamification design applied to special needs lacks a comprehensive systematic review. This article conducts a Literature review of gamification in special needs settings to investigate the effect of gamification in special needs as well as to identify gamification domains, groups and trends for individuals with special needs. Valuable data has been highlighted concerning the technology techniques used in enhancing the skills of individuals with a disability. However, further studies are still needed to examine areas, where research is lacking in the gamification field. The preferred reporting items for literature reviews and meta-analysis PRISMA standard was adopted for inclusion and exclusion criteria’ in this study such as including, eligibility, screening, dentification, and inclusion and exclusion steps. The results revealed that gamification design facilitates the development of various skills among individuals with special needs. Additionally, gamification design was mostly used to enhance the learning skills of individuals with a disability.
