“…For example, Rogers, Bahr, & Benjamin [ 36 ] found that higher education levels were associated with more favorable attitudes towards the influenza vaccine. Additionally, Roga, Bekele & Gonfa [ 37 ] reported that higher education levels were associated with greater compliance with COVID−19 prevention measures. Therefore, the current study’s finding that education level did not predict attitudes toward infectious diseases in university students suggests that other factors may be more influential in shaping attitudes in this population.…”

Objectives: This research aims to assess the base level of knowledge and attitude of Applied Medical Sciences Students regarding mpox and whether an educational intervention could improve their knowledge and attitude. Methods: A quasi-experimental research was used, involving 960 medical students from Applied Medical Sciences College at Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University, KSA. They were recruited from the beginning of November 2022 till the mid of January 2023 based on the non-randomized sampling method. A standardized, anonymous, and closed-ended questionnaire was used, compromising three main sections: participants’ demographics, knowledge, and attitudes toward the mpox epidemic. Results: Total knowledge scores of the studied sample in the pretest phase were 45.43 ± 6.29 compared to 65.03 ± 2.93 in the post-test phase. Besides, total attitude scores were 48.62 ± 4.78 before program implementation, while after conducting the program reached 70.65 ± 5.13. There was a notable improvement in the total knowledge score of the sample studied after the intervention was implemented, particularly for neurological manifestations. Conclusion: After the program’s implementation, there was an obvious improvement in the medical students’ total knowledge and attitude scores concerning the mpox epidemic. It is necessary to initiate well-organized training initiatives for all other medical faculties, paramedics, and applied health institutions in Saudi Arabia.

“…Unfortunately, this was not the case in Yemen, where little effort was put into spreading awareness. For example, although the Yemeni Supreme National Emergency Committee for Covid-19 had an official account on Twitter and a WhatsApp group, where they routinely share cases and death reports [ 35 ], none of our informants were aware of its existence or have seen their reports. This reflects that those reports were also poorly promoted and not widely published; in addition, Twitter is the less used social media platform in Yemen.…”

Exploring the Role of Infodemics in People’s Incompliance with Preventive Measures during the COVID-19 in Conflict Settings (Mixed Method Study)

et al. 2023

The evolving availability of health information on social media, regardless of its credibility, raises several questions about its impact on our health decisions and social behaviors, especially during health crises and in conflict settings where compliance with preventive measures and health guidelines is already a challenge due to socioeconomic factors. For these reasons, we assessed compliance with preventive measures and investigated the role of infodemic in people’s non-compliance with COVID-19 containment measures in Yemen. To this purpose and to triangulate our data collection, we executed a mixed method approach in which raw aggregated data were taken and analyzed from multiple sources (COVID-19 Government Response Tracker and Google COVID-19 Community Mobility Reports), then complemented and verified with In-depth interviews. Our results showed that the population in Yemen had relatively complied with the governmental containment measures at the beginning of the pandemic. However, containment measures were not supported by daily COVID-19 reports due to low transparency, which, together with misinformation and lack of access to reliable sources, has caused the population not to believe in COVID-19 and even practice social pressure on those who showed some compliance with the WHO guidelines. Those results indicate the importance of adopting an infodemic management approach in response to future outbreaks, particularly in conflict settings.

“…Sikap dan perilaku yang dimanifestasikan dalam bentuk keyakinan efikasi (keyakinan akan prinsip yang mendatangkan hasil yang diharapkan) merupakan faktor praktis yang signifikan dan paling berpengaruh serta mampu memediasi hubungan antara pengetahuan dengan protokol kesehatan memakai masker, mencuci tangan dan menghindari keramaian (Lee et al, 2021). Sebagaimana telah dilaporkan dalam studi Roga et al (2022), bahwa meningkatkan kepatuhan protokol kesehatan COVID-19 sebagai bentuk upaya pencegahannya untuk menjadi lebih baik adalah akibat faktor pengetahuan yang baik sebesar 2,6 kali, faktor sikap yang positif sebesar 4,5 kali dan akibat faktor perilaku yang baik yaitu sebesar 2,9 kali.…”
