Drug Abuse is an important medical and public health issue worldwide. In today’s society, adolescent populations oftentimes experience a lot of stressful situations and challenges regarding self-identity, sexuality, drugs, schoolwork, and social life. School nurses are in a position to reach a large number of adolescents, recognize their problem, and foster their general well- being and educational success.

Abortion is a common controversial ethical issue among humanists, feminists, liberals, and religious groups worldwide. Many countries permit induced abortion, or the deliberate termination of pregnancy, for various reasons e.g., as a means of contraception, as part of a woman’s right to autonomy, or as part of a woman’s right to determine the number of children she will bear. Even in Islamic countries, which hold strong religious laws and beliefs, it has been announced that abortion may be permissible before or after the period of “ensoulment” in certain circumstances and on medical grounds, so as to safeguard women from serious problems that might put their lives at risk. However, some religious groups do not support abortion. Therefore, it is critical to explore Islam’s position on the prohibition or allowance of induced abortion.

Pain is a global phenomenon with significant physical, psychological, financial, and social impacts. The number of patients with pain has increased globally, due to the increase in the complexity of the pain and its classifications. Despite pain’s high prevalence and economic impact, this phenomenon is not well investigated and understood. Understanding the concept of adult, non-cancer pain via the Specificity Theory and the Gate Control Theory of Pain is critical for professionals to expand the understanding of pain and ensure the best care. The purpose of this integrative review paper was to conduct a concept identification and analysis on pain through analyzing the existing literature. As the literature was reviewed, three major concepts emerged. Suffering, discomfort, and coping were the most frequent concepts that emerged, which is consistent with several studies of different populations, utilizing quantitative and qualitative methods. As pain concept is relevant to patient care and nursing practice, pain needs to be investigated by healthcare professionals and nursing research to provide a complete picture of the nature and pattern of pain in patients with chronic conditions such as genetic disorders, and in generating more knowledge about patient experiences. The importance of understanding and viewing pain via multiple lenses allows all to understand pain as multifaceted, complex, and interdisciplinary issues for which several of the causes are the social determinants of health.
