Purpose This study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of depression, anxiety, and stress among college students in Saudi Arabia during the COVID-19 outbreak. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted between February 10th to April 10th, 2021. An online self-administered questionnaire was emailed to college students at a large institution in Saudi Arabia. The questionnaire consisted of sociodemographic, educational backgrounds, and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). Results The study included 311 university students (62.7% female and 39.3% male). The prevalence of higher than moderate level in each of the depression, anxiety, and stress were (n= 164, 52.7%), (n= 222, 71.4%), and (n= 112, 36%), respectively. Further analysis revealed that females, younger age, history of depression, history of being quarantined by a health authority, and having contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19 were associated with a greater level of depression, anxiety, and stress. Conclusion Depression, anxiety, and stress were highly prevalent among college students during the outbreak. There was a significant association between demographic characteristics and the DASS 21 score. Researchers are recommended to concentrate their future studies on establishing strategies to enhance students’ flexibility and adaptability in the face of future catastrophes.

Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a neuropsychological disorder, under the class of anxiety disorders characterized by excessive and uncontrollable worrying for six or more months. GAD is a major hurdle for personal and social productivity and a financial burden on governmental health sectors; moreover, it is one of the common mental health problems in Saudi Arabia and globally with physical and psychological manifestations (e.g., muscle tension, sleeplessness, disoriented thoughts, etc.). Although, there is not a monofactor's direct causality of pathogenesis, there are multiple risk factors such as genetics, socioeconomic status, and life experiences that may contribute to the development of GAD. Nonetheless, the diagnosis is made using the criteria set by the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5) or the international classification of diseases 11th revision (ICD-11), which covers the patient's past medical history and present social and environmental setting. The management of GAD includes a combination of psychiatric interventions (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy) and different medications (e.g., selective-serotonin reuptake inhibitors) requiring thorough investigations and deep discussions with the patient to rule out other psychiatric conditions and to reach an optimal level of healthcare, preventing further deterioration. This article addresses the etiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of GAD in Saudi Arabia to present an integrated and updated review.

“…Previous research has predominantly focused on examining the factors that impact the intention to use technology in education, particularly e-learning, in higher education institutions or colleges in the UAE (Al-Tamimi & Al-Sharafi, 2013;Alzahrani & Alshumaimeri, 2021;Fjortoft, 2019). However, most of these studies have centered on students and have only partially explored the intention to use Education 4.0.…”

The development of education 4.0, driven by information technology, is a crucial aspect of secondary school education in today's fast-paced world. However, limited empirical research exists on how UAE institutions engage with education 4.0, and little attention has been paid to the factors influencing the actual use of technology in this context. Previous studies have tended to focus predominantly on e-learning, students, and universities, rather than on factors driving the intention to use education 4.0. While previous research has identified various important factors affecting users' intention to use technology in developed countries, the factors may differ in the context of developing countries like the UAE. The factors include performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions, which were identified through the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model. To address this literature gap, this study seeks to investigate the factors influencing UAE secondary school teachers' intention to use education 4.0 building on already established antecedents and factors.
