Abstract: Adolescence is a period in human life characterized by the adoption of varied lifestyles, educational choices, and health behaviors. The demand for satisfaction (e.g., self-expression, need for recognition, peer communication, and peer group pressures) could explain the rising frequency of online media use and internet addiction. This study was conducted to examine the prevalence of internet use and addiction and its association with the psychological well-being of adolescents in the Al-Qassim region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) .Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out to assess a convenience sample consisting of 663 adolescents in the Al-Qassim region of the KSA. Data were obtained from online responses to a questionnaire that addressed sociodemographic characteristics, patterns of internet use, and questions relevant to Young’s Internet Addiction Test (YIAT) and the Warwick–Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS). Results: The mental well-being scores of the adolescents ranged from 2 to 56, with a mean of 38.53 and standard deviation of 10.61. Statistically, significant inverse correlations were detected between internet addiction (IA) scores, well-being scores, and age, and a statistically significant direct correlation was detected between IA scores and hours of daily internet use. Furthermore, there was a highly statistically significant inverse correlation between well-being scores and hours of daily internet use, indicating that internet addiction is a strong negative predictor of mental well-being. Conclusions: The majority of the study participants have moderate to severe internet addiction and poor mental health, and there were statistically significant negative associations between internet addiction, well-being, and age. This study emphasizes the need to provide suitable school-based interventions for the prevention of IA in adolescence, which can include teacher and parent training, student education, and awareness-raising and can help to strengthen protective variables and reinforce positive behaviors or aspects of the environment that reduce the likelihood of IA occurrence.

Other data related to psychological implications of COVID-19 on perinatal women and reported cases were conducted utilizing seven electronic databases (CINAHL, MEDLINE, ProQuest, PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, and Cochrane) for studies published in various languages at the international peer reviewer journals from August 2021 to December 2021. Results: The current study concluded that COVID-19 has substantial psychological implications on perinatal women negatively, and the level of anxiety and depression symptoms of gravid women during the COVID-19 infection suggestively increased. The levels of stress and anxiety in gravid and puerperium women during the COVID-19 pandemic are moderate to high. Anxiety and distress lean towards to be higher in women with previous psychiatric accomplishment and those in the first trimester of pregnancy. Pregnant, postpartum, miscarrying women and those who undergoing intimate partner violence are at particularly high risk for emerging negative psychological implications during the pandemic.

Abstract: Background To plan successful policies towards mitigating the consequences of COVID-19, it is essential that critical care unit nurses have the necessary knowledge, perform best practices, and obtain appropriate equipment. Therefore, we conducted this study to examine the knowledge, practices, and equipment in critical care departments in Egyptian hospitals. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted from 11/20 to 12/22/2020 using a pre-tested electronic questionnaire consisting of two sections, the first to examine the demographic characteristics of the two patients, and the second section includes 33 questions to examine knowledge, practices, and equipment, benefiting from the Ministry of Health's database Results: critical care nurses have a very good knowledge of COVID-19, with a rate of more than 90 percent. About practices, the results were good, as workers in these departments are committed to up to 66% of the total, and concerning supplies, most hospitals recorded a clear lack of equipment related to the pandemic. Conclusion: The researchers concluded that the critical care department nurses in the Egyptian government hospitals do everything in their power to carry out their duties to the fullest, and they are not dissatisfied with the work and do not think about leaving their jobs, and they have been able to overcome the lack of equipment by cooperation and self-efforts in eliminating this problem. critical care nurses’ knowledge was mild, but their practice was at a moderate level. There was a negative weak correlation between nurses' knowledge, practice, and preparedness toward the covid-19 pandemic.
