Background Positive and professional attitude of health professionals toward the palliative care issues of patients is crucial and challenging for fresh graduates. This study aimed to explore the perspectives of health science graduates about providing care for dying patients and their families. Methods In this cross-sectional study, graduates of the College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences, Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University, Saudi Arabia ( n = 113) have participated. The FATCOD -B scale was used to measure the attitude of health science graduates toward the care of patients and their families on a 5-point Likert scale. Data was collected through survey research forms. Results Significant associations of graduates’ attitude toward care of the dying patient with age, department, religious beliefs, education and experience ( p = .05) were found. On the scale of caring for the dying patients’ families, religious beliefs and education ( p = .05) were significant. Furthermore, multiple linear regression confirmed the predictive relationship of religious beliefs, education, and experience (R2 = .342, F = 11.021, p = .000) with graduates’ attitudes toward patient care. In comparison, education (R2 = .068, F = 1.541, p = .183) was the predictor of participants’ attitudes towards care of the patients’ families. Conclusion There is a dire need to focus on palliative care in the formal curriculum for all the health sciences disciplines. It is highly recommended to utilize case scenarios and simulation practice skills during the academic year to prepare students before the internship year. On-job counselling sessions can be helpful to increase the positive attitude of young Health graduates while working with dying patients and their families.

“…Only one study to date has assessed the components of health-related physical fitness in a sample of Saudi girls aged 8-15 years (Al-Asiri & Shaheen, 2015), In addition, although few studies of health-related physical fitness have been conducted in Saudi Arabia (H. Al-Hazzaa, 1993;H. M. Al-Hazzaa, 2002), most studies conducted in Saudi Arabia have focused on physical activity rather than health-related physical fitness (H. M. Al-Hazzaa & Albawardi, 2019;Al-Nozha et al, 2007;Albawardi et al, 2017;Aljuhani & Sandercock, 2019;Almutairi et al, 2018;AlQuaiz, Siddiqui, Kazi, Batais, & Al-Hazmi, 2019;Awadalla et al, 2014;Khalaf et al, 2013;Samara, Nistrup, Al-Rammah, & Aro, 2015;Yahia, Wang, Rapley, & Dey, 2016;Zaidi, 2020). A study conducted among schoolboys in Riyadh found that Saudi children and adolescents do not meet the minimal weekly requirement of moderate to vigorous physical activity necessary for an effectively functioning cardiorespiratory system and that 16% of them are considered obese (i.e., their fat content constitutes over 25% of their body mass) (H. Al-Hazzaa, 1993).…”

This study aimed to measure health-related physical fitness components (cardiorespiratory fitness, body fat, muscle strength, flexibility) among adolescent school boys in Madinah, western Saudi Arabia. The participants comprised 36 male students who performed a maximal multistage 20-m shuttle run test to estimate maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max). Body fat percentage (BF%) was determined using the bioelectrical impedance scale; hand grip strength was measured using a hand grip dynamometer; and flexibility was determined using the sit and reach test. The results of the health-related physical fitness tests reveal that the mean (± SD) value of estimated VO2max was 41.1 ± 6.9 (ml.kg.min). The mean (± SD) values of BF%, right-hand grip strength, left-hand grip strength, and flexibility were 18.7 ± 8.6 (%), 33.3 ± 5.6 (kg), 32.8 ± 5.7 (kg), and 15.8 ± 3.9 (cm), respectively. With the exception of flexibility, we conclude that it is necessary to improve health-related physical fitness components, particularly muscle strength, among Saudi adolescent school boys in Madinah city.
