Health awareness among female undergraduate medical students in saudi arabia.

Abstract: This study was conducted to assess the level of health awareness (HA) among students attending three undergraduate programs in the Colleges of Applied Medical Sciences (CAMS) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (SA). A modified self-reported survey was utilized to measure HA demonstrating four domains: Nutrition (NU), Personal Health (PH), Physical Exercise (PE), and Body Build (BB). The questionnaire was distributed to 302 female students attending the first semester of the academic year 2014-2015 BS degree in Radiology Sciences (RS), Clinical Laboratory (CL), and Health Education (HE) departments. Bloom's taxonomy was utilized to describe the three cognitive levels. Synthesizing, creating, and evaluating were grouped to represent high level indicators; applying cognitive skills only revealed an intermediate level; while memorizing and listing demonstrated low levels. In a 5-point Likert scale, the overall mean (M) of HA among CAMS students was 3.82 with the highest among students attending HE (M = 3.89). The domain of PH ranked first with a high average (M = 4.30). There were significant differences (α = 0.05), in the level of HA in PH and BB domains, among students in terms of program specialty only, but no such significant differences were found for other characteristics. The study recommended incorporating health promotion concepts within teaching curricula and conducting health and education campaigns by health education institutions.

The Influence of International Education Accreditation on a Graduate Health and Hospital Program

Abstract: The overriding objective was to compare the influence of Assurance of Learning (AoL), on several graduate students’ pedagogical outcomes before and after an international accreditation program. A self-administered questionnaire was employed to collect data from subjects enrolled in a graduate program. Out of 122 graduate students who voluntarily participated in the pretest (2015), only 88 students participated in the posttest (2017). Overall, the students expressed effective AoL in many pedagogical outcomes based on the post-accreditation process. A high positive correlation was observed between the overall effectiveness of AoL and communication skills (r = 0.875, p = 0.01). Of the pre-accredited group, 56.2% reported effective AoL outcomes; this percentage increased to 77.8%. The pretest and posttest results indicated significant differences in AoL (p < 0.01). Health programs accreditation provides effective outcomes on academic as well as personal leadership levels. Continuous implementation and assessment of AoL must be monitored periodically to ensure its successful contribution to health programs and business schools.

Determining the Level of Health Awareness among Hospitality Students: A Case Study of the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels at Minia University in Egypt

Abstract: This research aims to determine the level of health awareness and the level of health locus of control among hospitality students. The simple random sample of the study consisted of 95 first-stage students of the hotel management department at the faculty of tourism and hotels in Minia university during the first semester of the academic year 2019/2020. The study results revealed that the degree of the health awareness level and the health locus of control level are high. In addition, they are significant differed according to the gender in favor of males. Moreover, there is a direct correlation between the level of health awareness and the level of health locus of control (r = 0.444, Sig = 000). Finally, the regression model of the level of health awareness (Y) with the level of health locus of control (X) is Y = 1.955 + 0.513X.
