“…Studies from different parts of Saudi Arabia have shown a varying level of knowledge about OA among the general physicians, with some even showing adverse effects of physician's advice on the patients' health [25][26][27]. Under vision 2030, the healthcare system in KSA will be directed towards primary care [28], which makes it more important for primary care doctors and general practitioners to have correct and updated knowledge about OA. We recommend that regular refresher courses should be offered to the GPs so that misconceptions that are being passed on to their patients can be corrected, and there is also a need to improve clinician communication so that they do not inadvertently perpetuate the misconceptions that a patient already has [25].…”

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a public health disease that causes decreased mobility and leads to poor quality of life. A person’s health-seeking behavior can influence their understanding of a disease, which in turn can alter its course. The objectives of this study were to measure the misconceptions about osteoarthritis and to identify the associated health-seeking behaviors. An online, self-administered, questionnaire-based study was conducted with 872 Arabic-speaking participants divided into three strata, group 1 comprising of patients with OA, group 2 participants with joint pain (without OA) and group 3 comprised of general population. Multivariate logistic regression analysis found that seeking care from general practitioners [3.29 (1.19, 9.16)], taking advice from friends [2.83 (1.08, 7.42)], seeking care from chiropractors [3.67 (1.02, 13.60)] and podiatrist [4.64 (1.31, 16.51)] were significantly associated with misconceptions, whereas, the odds were lower for those using social media [0.16 (0.06, 0.46)] and expert websites [0.63 (0.40, 0.99)]. The findings of this study imply that the level of misconceptions is high amongst all three strata.. Expert websites and social media have a positive effect on the management of osteoarthritis. However, general practitioners and allied health workers should regularly update their knowledge using refresher courses.

“…Addressing the health literacy problems among a culturally diverged Saudi population will be crucial by virtue of the undergoing health system re-engineering towards the Saudi 2030 Vision. The Vision 2030 Health Sector Transformation Program was initiated in 2021 with a five-year goal of reforming the health sector to become a comprehensive, effective, and integrated health system that prioritizes the health of individual and society, including citizens, residents, and visitors [15]. A growing body of evidence have additionally demonstrated that inadequate health literacy is significant among the Saudi population [16-18], whereby negative perceptions of diabetes risk factors can impede disease management and prevention.…”

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a serious global health issue which significantly impacts public health and socioeconomic development. Exploring how the community perceives the causes of deaths and their associated risk factors is crucial for public health. This study combines verbal autopsy (VA) with the Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) register to explore community perceptions of causes of death and associated influential factors in the western region of Saudi Arabia. 302 VA interviews were conducted with relatives or caregivers of deceased who died between 2017 and 2021 based on T2DM medical register from Alnoor Specialist Hospital in Makkah city, Saudi Arabia. Cause-specific mortality fractions (CSMFs) obtained from the VA using the InterVA-5 model were utilized to assess community perception. We used a multivariable logistic regression model to determine factors influencing community perceptions of causes of death. Lin's CCC with 95% CI was used to analyze the concordance for the CSMFs from verbal autopsy causes of death (VACoD) as a presumed reference standard and family-reported causes of death (FRCoD). The outcomes of this study demonstrate a generally broad spectrum of community perceived mortalities, with some critical misconceptions based on the type of death and the deceased's background and characteristics, with an overall CCC of 0.60 (95% CI: 0.20-1.00; p=003). The study findings demonstrate that community perception is weak if the deceased was male compared to female (aOR: 0.52; 95% CI: 0.26 –1.03) and if the deceased was >=80 years compared to 34–59 years (aOR: 0.48; 95% CI: 0.16-1.38), but it significantly improves among married compared to single (aOR: 2.13; 95% CI: 1.02 –4.42). The Saudi community perception of causes of death with reported type 2 diabetes was relatively plausible but varied substantially based on the type of death, sex, age >=80 years, and other vital events like marital status. Higher or lower community perception is attributed to how people may perceive risk factors associated with the causes of death, which can guide public health planning and interventional programs. The study findings further emphasize the need to employ robust and standardized VA methods within the routine medical services for a systemized assessment of families' reported causes of death.
