  • Seasonal influenza vaccine knowledge and attitudes among pregnant women: a cross-sectional study in Palestine
    Omar H. Almahmoud, Shahd Takrouri, Hajar khalaileh, Shahd Joulani, Adila Khawaja
    BMC Public Health, 2026
    Influenza infection poses significant risks to pregnant women, including complications for both the mother and fetus. Despite global recommendations promoting influenza vaccination during pregnancy, uptake remains low in many regions. This study aimed to assess the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women in Palestine toward seasonal influenza vaccination and to identify factors associated with these perceptions. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 302 pregnant or previously pregnant women aged 18–55 years across Palestinian governorates. Data were collected using a structured, self-administered questionnaire consisting of 33 items covering socio-demographic, knowledge, and attitude domains. Descriptive statistics were calculated, and inferential analyses included t tests, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Statistical significance was set at p < .05. The mean knowledge score was M = 2.35 (SD = 1.57) and the mean attitude score was M = 15.32 (SD = 3.20); 75.2% of participants had poor knowledge and 65.9% exhibited negative attitudes. Attitude was significantly associated with the number of prior influenza vaccinations ( p = .018), while knowledge was significantly related to healthcare facility type ( p = .012) and pregnancy trimester ( p = .020). A strong positive correlation was found between knowledge and attitude ( r = .41, 95% CI [0.29, 0.52], p < .001). Pregnant women in Palestine demonstrated limited knowledge and generally negative attitudes toward influenza vaccination. Misconceptions about vaccine safety and a lack of healthcare-provider recommendations were key barriers to vaccine uptake. Integrating influenza vaccination counseling into routine antenatal care and strengthening provider–patient communication may improve awareness and acceptance among this high-risk group.

    Imad Asmar, Omar Almahmoud, Mohammad Kahla, Rama Ghazawneh, Hala Obaid, Omar Badaha, Yasmeen Hamed
    BMC Medical Education, 2026
    Monkeypox (MPX) has become a significant global health concern, and the 2022 outbreak highlights weaknesses in healthcare preparedness and international travel safety. The lack of information on medical experts’ awareness emphasizes the necessity for immediate assessment, even though no instances have been documented in Palestine. This study aimed to evaluate Palestinian nurses’ knowledge of MPOX and explore variables that may influence their understanding. Three hundred seventy-nine nurses working in various healthcare facilities in Palestine participated in this cross-sectional study using a validated electronic questionnaire. Sociodemographic information was collected and 30 multiple-choice questions measuring MPOX-related knowledge were rated on a scale of 0 to 10. The average knowledge score of the participants was 5.5 out of 10 (SD = 3.27). Only 33.5% of respondents had a high degree of understanding. Age, education level, location of residence, workplace, clinical experience, and prior attendance at MPOX lectures were significantly associated with higher knowledge scores (all p < 0.001). Attending MPOX lectures (B = 5.595, p < 0.001), having a higher level of education (B = 5.074, p < 0.001), working in closed units (B = 1.764, p = 0.005), and having more clinical experience (B = 0.308, p = 0.018) were significant predictors of higher knowledge. While they show a rudimentary awareness of MPOX, Palestinian nurses are not well-versed in its prevention, treatment, and transmission. Healthcare preparation must be strengthened by addressing urban-rural inequities, implementing thorough training, and incorporating MPOX into nursing curricula. • Overall, nurses demonstrated average knowledge levels of MPOX, with 33.5% showing high knowledge, 23.0% showing moderate knowledge, and 43.5% showing low knowledge. • Greater clinical experience was significantly associated with higher MPOX knowledge. • Nurses who received prior MPOX training scored significantly higher, highlighting the importance of structured educational interventions. • Those working in closed units (e.g., ICU, ER) exhibited significantly better knowledge than nurses in open units. • Urban-residing nurses demonstrated significantly higher MPOX knowledge scores than their rural counterparts.

    BMC Ophthalmology, 2025
    BACKGROUND: Digital eyestrain (DES) is a collection of ocular and vision symptoms caused by prolonged use of digital devices that can greatly impact schoolchildren's daily activities and learning. The main purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of DES among schoolchildren and the associated risk factors in Palestine. METHODS: From the 1st of April 2024 to the 30th of May 2024, a total of 492 school children who met the criteria for DES screening in the selected schools were included in the study. A quantitative, cross-sectional design was utilized with a self-structured questionnaire. The sample consisted of schoolchildren aged 11 to 18 years. The questionnaire is structured into three sections: (1) Sociodemographic information, (2) Information regarding the digital device used, and (3) DES assessment by using the Computer Vision Syndrome Questionnaire, and the visual acuity was measured using the Snellen chart. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 25 with a 95% CI. RESULTS: The study analysis showed that 44.1% of school children experience DES. Snellen chart test analysis showed that 28.25% of students had results exceeding a score of six for either the right or left eye. For both eyes combined, (14.63%) of students had examination results greater than six. After conducting univariate analysis, statistically significant risk factors (p-value less than 0.05) affecting the development of DES in our study were posture, smartphone use at bedtime, and duration of device use, watching movies, social networking, and screen brightness. Moreover, females, older students, and those using devices closer than 30 cm or owning multiple devices reported higher eyestrain scores. CONCLUSIONS: The current research found that Palestinian school children significantly experience eyestrain, indicating the influence of digital devices on eye health. The study results emphasize the need for early detection to prevent future eye health complications.
  • Association between omega-3 fatty acid intake and ADHD symptoms among early adolescents aged 10–12 years: a cross-sectional study in Palestine
    Safaa Muhanna, Hala Jaradat, Nadeen Toukhli, Omar H. Almahmoud
    International Journal of Adolescent Medicine and Health, 2025
    Objectives Deficits in omega-3 fatty acids, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), have been implicated in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). These fatty acids are essential for neurodevelopment and cognitive functioning during childhood and early adolescence. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between ADHD symptoms and dietary omega-3 intake among Palestinian early adolescents aged 10–12 years, with particular attention to socioeconomic determinants. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with 211 participants (38 with ADHD, 173 without ADHD). Parents completed a culturally adapted Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) to estimate intake of omega-3–rich foods (e.g., fish, nuts, seeds). ADHD symptoms were assessed by subtype, and socioeconomic factors were recorded. Group differences were tested, and logistic regression evaluated associations between omega-3 intake and ADHD symptoms. Results Children with ADHD reported significantly lower omega-3 intake (mean=0.60 ± 0.68) than their peers without ADHD (mean=0.89 ± 0.72; p&lt;0.001). The hyperactive/impulsive subtype had the lowest intake (mean=0.42 ± 0.62). Logistic regression indicated that each unit increase in omega-3 intake was associated with a 45 % reduction in hyperactive/impulsive symptoms (OR=0.55, p=0.03). Adolescents’ age, gender, parental education, parental employment, and family income were significantly associated with children’s omega-3 intake (p&lt;0.05). Conclusions Lower dietary omega-3 intake is associated with more severe ADHD symptoms, particularly in the hyperactive/impulsive subtype. Socioeconomic disparities further exacerbate nutritional deficiencies, with potential consequences for neurodevelopment and behavioral health. Public health interventions—such as school-based nutrition programs, caregiver education, and subsidies for omega-3–rich foods—may support mental health and cognitive development among children and early adolescents in resource-limited and conflict-affected settings.
  • Prevalence, awareness, and risk factors affecting hypertension according to 2017 American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association guidelines: A cross-sectional study from a developing country
    Imad Asmar, Omar Almahmoud, Maram Jaghama
    Journal of Hypertension, 2025
    Background: Hypertension (HTN) is a chronic disease prevalent worldwide, with a significant increase in the number of people diagnosed with HTN. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and awareness of HTN among adults in Palestine according to the 2017 American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association guidelines, and to investigate the risk factors affecting HTN. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between August 2024 and November 2024 among residents of West Bank Palestine. A total of 1420 adults aged 18 years and older were recruited using convenience sampling. Data were collected through blood pressure and anthropometric measurements of BMI and waist circumference. A questionnaire was used to gather sociodemographic information, HTN history, physical activity, antihypertensive drug use, and other family history information. Statistical analyses, including chi-square tests and binary logistic regression, were performed. Results: The prevalence of HTN in this study was 60%. Moreover, 46.4% of participants with HTN were unaware of their condition. Several factors were found to be independent predictors of HTN, including smoking [adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 8; 95% confidence interval (CI): 5.1–11.1], older age (aOR: 1.022; 95% CI: 1.01–1.04), and living in urban areas (aOR: 1.9; 95% CI: 1.4–2.5). Conversely, normal BMI (aOR: 0.6; 95% CI: 0.4–0.9) and moderate physical activity (aOR: 0.6; 95% CI: 0.6–0.8) were protective against the development of HTN. Conclusion: Three out of five adults in Palestine had HTN, and approximately half of them were unaware of their condition. The study findings indicate the urgent need for appropriate public health interventions to address awareness, early detection, and modifiable risk factors, which will greatly alleviate the regional HTN burden.
  • Summary of Needlestick Injuries Among Nursing Students and Related Factors A Narrative Review
    Imad Asmar, Omar Almahmoud, Ayat Abu Zahra, Nadeen Qattousah, Fatima Sumreen, Anfal Mahmoud, Sabreen Maali
    Infectious Diseases in Clinical Practice, 2025
    During clinical training, student nurses are at a higher risk of blood-borne infections due to needlestick injuries (NSIs). Medical sharp instruments like syringe needles, stitches, puncture needles, scalpels, and ampoules can lead to sharp injuries by causing deep skin wounds that result in bleeding. Nursing students must know every facet of NSIs to safeguard themselves from the dangers. Nevertheless, due to their inexperience in handling needles and sharp items in a clinical setting, nursing students are more likely to suffer from NSIs than more seasoned nurses. This review aimed to determine how often and to what degree nursing students understood NSIs. A thorough search was carried out for relevant English research papers released from January 2013 to January 2024 in the databases of Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed, and CINAHL. The research focused on the prevalence, knowledge, and recognition of NSIs among nursing students and associated factors. This analysis showed that the high prevalence rate of NSIs varies widely between 6.2% and 67% worldwide and that nursing students have low to moderate awareness of them. The literature review emphasized many variables that might increase the frequency of NSIs, such as gender, time, education level, training location, characteristics of the injury, educational background, and workload.

    Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 2025
    Both adults and pediatric patients who are on mechanical ventilation face high rates of mortality and morbidity due to ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), which is the most prevalent deadly hospital-acquired infection. Healthcare organizations provide evidence-based guidelines to help nurses decrease VAP in ICUs; however, there are obstacles to putting these guidelines into practice. An extensive investigation was conducted for pertinent English studies published from January 2014 to February 2024 in the databases of Science Direct, Scopus, PubMed, and CINAHL. The study centered on nurses’ understanding, adherence, and obstacles regarding introducing VAP prevention guidelines. The majority of ICU nurses have a basic to intermediate understanding of evidence-based methods to reduce VAP. The nurses in the ICUs typically followed the guidelines for preventing VAP about 60% of the time. A basic analysis of descriptive content identified the obstacles preventing critical care nurses (CCNs) from following VAP PGs. The obstacles were separated into 2 groups: barriers related to nurses (such as education, experience, and training) and barriers related to the work environment (such as lack of supplies, staffing shortage, lack of policies, and ineffective supervision). To improve their skills, CCNs should get frequent updates on courses and seminars related to the VAP PG implementation. Healthcare administrators must be aware of these obstacles and implement work procedures that help CCNs overcome them if they want to increase compliance.
