“…Postgraduate students are more likely to be married, so they have additional responsibilities of providing for their family's needs, including food and safety. In contrast, a recent study conducted in Jordan found that age was the primary predictor of panic-buying behavior among the population [34]. These findings suggest that targeted interventions aimed at addressing PTSD symptoms among university students should consider gender and educational level as important factors.…”

(1) Background: Earthquakes are natural disasters that often result in significant loss of life and property. The objective of this study is to explore the frequency of symptoms associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), levels of meaning in life (ML), and perceived social support (SS) among university students in the aftermath of the earthquake that occurred in Turkey and Syria in 2023. (2) Methods: This study utilizes a cross-sectional correlation design to achieve its objectives among 603 university students from two public universities using an online survey (via Google Forms). The survey was launched one month after the earthquake in Turkey and Syria and concluded on 6 April 2023. (3) Results: The results indicate that a total of 158 university students, constituting 26.20% of the sample, reported extreme symptoms of PTSD. The results also indicate that 184 students (30.51), and 140 students (23.22%) reported low levels of ML and SS, respectively. Female students were significantly more vulnerable to experiencing PTSD symptoms, as well as difficulties in finding ML and SS. Finally, results revealed that students who were pursuing postgraduate studies had a greater likelihood of exhibiting symptoms indicative of PTSD. (4) Conclusions: It is recommended that universities provide support services and resources for students experiencing PTSD symptoms.

“…The second psychological dimensions affected during the quarantine period is behavioral. Several behaviors noticed among participants which are panic buying, purchasing extra sanitization products, and increased engaging with social media (Alfuqaha et al, 2022). It is noteworthy to mention that other behaviors were noticed in previous studies, such as insomnia, a significant decrease in activity, as well as an increase in purchasing sanitization and substance abuse (Arora & Grey, 2020;Chiu et al, 2020).…”

“…They vary in their cognitive processes, emotional reactions, and exhibited symptoms, ranging from intense fear to a state of indifference. Some individuals may experience severe anxiety, which can give rise to mental health challenges such as mood disorders and panic-buying behaviors, including storing medications, disinfectants, and food supplies (Alfuqaha et al, 2022).…”

The study aimed to determine the obstacles to using technology in teaching students with disabilities. Disability in Jordan is because of natural variables. The disability taught and the gender and experience of teachers, according to the analytical description approach, Building and applying an appropriate questionnaire to (128) teachers in ( 12) special education centers. It was concluded that the level of obstacles is very high, and they are respectively obstacles related to learners, then comes the educational science, followed by the academic environment, while the obstacles related to the teacher are considered moderate. it was also shown that there are significant differences in the presence of these obstacles depending on the nature of the disability being taught, which is in favor of mental disability compared to the autism spectrum, these challenges appear more among teachers with less than five years of experience, and more among male teachers than female teachers. The study recommended that specialized educational institutions pay attention to producing advanced educational technologies suitable for people with disabilities, and training teachers to produce appropriate digital technological content.

“…The researcher performed both Cronbach’s alpha and composite reliability (CR) to assess the reliability of CD-RISC-25. A Cronbach’s alpha coefficient surpassing 0.70 signifies enhanced internal consistency [ 21 ], while CR values exceeding 0.70 are indicative of heightened reliability [ 22 ].…”

Background The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) stands out as a widely used measure of psychological resilience. The original CD-RISC consists of 25 items, commonly referred to as CD-RISC-25. Aim This study aims to validate the Arabic version of the CD-RISC-25 involving a sample size of 1220 participants from three universities in Jordan. Methods The researcher conducted a methodological investigation to examine the validation process. This included an examination of the translation process and an evaluation of content validity, which was assessed using the content validity index (CVI). Construct validity was assessed through exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, while convergent and discriminant validity were both evaluated using composite reliability (CR) and the square root of the average variance extracted. Results Results showed a prominent level of psychological resilience 76.74±15.2 among the participating university students. Regarding the validity of the Arabic version of CD-RISC-25, the CVI yielded a value of 0.88, signifying a robust level of content validity. The analysis identified four constructs that accounted for 56.26% of the total variance. The goodness-of-fit indices, including goodness of fit index of 0.91, comparative fit index of 0.91, incremental fit index of 0.93, Tucker-Lewis index of 0.94, and root mean square error of approximation of 0.048, provided strong evidence supporting the alignment between the observed data and the hypothesized constructs. Discriminant and convergent validity were found to support the validity of the Arabic version of CD-RISC-25. Regarding the reliability, it demonstrated excellent reliability, with a total Cronbach’s alpha of 0.934 and all CR values surpassing the threshold of 0.70, thereby further establishing its overall robustness. Conclusion The results provide substantial evidence for the validity and reliability of the translated Arabic CD-RISC-25.
