“…Thus, this infection control training could have been from the general training sessions that did not have any aspect about COVID-19. Usually, infection control training would improve the KAP of the participants about infections and infection control practices (33)(34)(35), but, in our case, the knowledge items on the questionnaire were specific about COVID-19, which might explain why participation in such training did not impact the knowledge of the participants about COVID-19. Therefore, HCWs may need to receive distinct infection control training programs about COVID-19, and these sessions could be provided once with follow-up materials on the updates.…”

Lack of knowledge among healthcare workers (HCWs) about infectious diseases leads to delayed diagnosis of new cases, spread of infection, and poor infection control practices. Therefore, HCWs based in hospitals must be equipped with good knowledge about the pathogen and disease to put up a robust fight against the virus. The aim of this study was to assess knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) of HCWs about coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) at multiple public and private hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional, online questionnaire-based study was conducted between July and August of 2020. Logistic regression was used to investigate differences in the level of KAP among different participants. A total of 510 HCWs in hospitals completed the questionnaire. Only two-thirds of the participants (67.8%) had adequate knowledge about COVID-19, 72.2% of the participants had a positive attitude toward COVID-19, and 80.2% of the participants were practicing appropriately most of the time. Poor KAP was associated with a low education level. The females had better knowledge and attitude, whereas the males were more likely to practice appropriately most of the time. Notably, the participants from the nursing profession demonstrated a less favorable attitude compared with medical staff from other professions, but that did not prevent them from being the best when it comes to applying appropriate practices. The inadequate level of KAP among HCWs with the continuation of the pandemic and the possibility of a second wave demonstrates the need for continuous COVID-19-specific infection control training and emotional well-being supporting programs, especially for HCWs with a low education level.

“…Therefore, it is essential to observe the fundamentals of practical training, which include planning and developing an effective program, proper implementation, and effective evaluation of the teaching and learning process. There is also a need to recognize challenges and barriers to effective training promptly and overcome these issues as the training progresses, in line with our findings [43][44][45]. Nevertheless, Islamian et al stated that an assessment of the effectiveness of training programs was not conducted correctly in Iran [20].…”

“…Evaluating participants in continuing nursing education programs is also essential and should be appropriately planned when designing training programs. The study by Aminoroaia et al (2014) explained that participants prefer periodic assessments, strict supervision of assessments, assessment of the effectiveness of training, and conducting knowledge tests both before and after the completion of the training program [45].…”

Background Continuing medical education is essential for nurses to provide quality patient care and upgrade their professional skills and competence. The need for continuing medical education (CME) has become more apparent in the face of advances in medical science, the ever-changing healthcare system, and nurses’ vital role in improving health care. It is, therefore, imperative to explore the nurses’ experience of CME courses and the extent to which such programs are effective. Objective The present qualitative study aimed to explore and describe nurses’ experiences of the effect of CE programs in promoting their competencies toward non-communicable diseases. Methods This qualitative content analysis study was conducted from December 2019 to April 2020 at various hospitals affiliated to Shiraz University of Medical Sciences (Shiraz, Iran) and based on the principles of conventional content analysis. The target population was nurses who actively worked in the chronic wards of these hospitals. The participants were selected using maximum variation sampling, including nine nursing managers, education and clinical supervisors, and staff nurses. Data were collected through individual, face-to-face, semi-structured interviews guided by an interview guide, and data collection continued until data saturation was achieved. Each interview took about 30–45 min. Follow up questions were used for clarification when needed. Data trustworthiness was assessed according to the criteria proposed by Guba and Lincoln. Results Analysis of the interview data resulted in 230 primary codes, based on 8 categories, and three themes were identified. The extracted themes were gaps in the planning of the CME program, problematic context, and training to improve professional skills and competency. The associated categories were gaps in the planning of the CME program, problematic context, and training to improve professional skills and competency. Conclusion Professional competence and performance of nurses can be improved through intrinsic motivation stimulation, planning, and implementation of training programs based on professional needs and effective assessment of the teaching/learning process.

“…Despite the known complications of smoking for health, many young people have these high-risk behaviors, and they continue smoking. The high prevalence of smoking among young people results in the risk of dependence and negative consequences for health (7). Although addiction to smoking is one of the problems of human society that is observed in all social classes, from the uneducated to the educated, its presence among the educated people in the healthcare system is one of the problems with adverse effects on this system.…”

Background: Smoking causes premature and preventable death of millions of educated people. Objectives: Given the role model for medical students in the future of the country, the current study aimed at determining the smoking prevalence and its related factors among dormitory students of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in Tehran, Iran. Methods: The current cross sectional study was conducted with descriptive-analytical approach on 355 dormitory students selected by single-stage random cluster sampling method. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire including demographic and background information and smoking features. Then, data were analyzed with SPSS version. 21, using descriptive statistics and Chi-square test. Results: The current study findings indicated that 23.8% (n = 81) of the subjects were current smokers; smoking had a significant relationship with gender variables, history of probation, close friends that smoked, and employment (P < 0.05). Conclusions: In comparison to other studies, the smoking prevalence was relatively high. Therefore, the necessity of proper education about the harms and health effects of smoking are felt more than ever.
