Clear Solution

The novel coronavirus is the worst pandemic of this century. Unfortunately, there is no clear solution for how to cope with such an epidemic. This study examines the coping strategies used by university students in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. From March to May 2020, a questionnaire was administered and completed by 400 students. This study used the Zung Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) to examine the respondents’ level of anxiety. The results indicate that 35% of students experienced some levels of anxiety. Moreover, there was a moderate use of four types of coping strategies: Seek social support, acceptance, mental disengagement, and humanitarian. These findings can guide policymakers on the importance of developing practical guidelines to handle such lethal diseases. Moreover, the results inform the Saudi community what strategies were used to cope so far with the pandemic. Future research is expected to address the validity and appropriateness of these strategies and encourage other approaches.

Abstract Background Transition to college is characterized by change, ambiguity, and adjustment compared to the previous lifestyle before entering college. Our study aimed was to determine the pattern of students’ physical exercise practices in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the period before and during college attendance. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among university students from fifteen universities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on August 2017. The data were collected using an electronic questionnaire that was modified from questionnaires used in previous studies. Statistical analysis and data entry was performed with SPSS version 21. This study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee at King Abdulaziz University. Results 417 college students completed the questionnaire and 77.2% were female. Slightly more than half of the participants (55.9%) were from King Abdulaziz University, and 59.7% were from healthcare specialties from different institutions. The mean age of the participants was 21.80 years old (SD = 2.75). The pattern of practicing physical exercise showed a significant decrease after enrollment in college (p = 0.000). The most common reason for not practicing exercise was time restrictions, accounting for 18.5% of all the reasons, while the most common reason for practicing exercise was to improve body shape, accounting for 48% of all the reasons. Conclusions Our research found that there was a significant decrease in doing regular exercise during one’s college years in comparison to the school years prior to college. To address the decrease in physical exercise, we recommend organizing and promoting more awareness campaigns and providing suitable sports facilities and infrastructure.

Source Of Information

The aim of this study was to know the most significant sources of information that university students throughout The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (King Abdul-Aziz University as a model) get on Saudi Arabia’s 2030 Vision. To achieve that, a questionnaire has been designed to cover several axes: traditional and new media and other information sources such as conferences, seminars and lectures. The research population represented is both male and female, a sample of 150 students randomly selected. The study shows that the main source of information students are gaining from regarding the 2030 vision is through social media, mainly Twitter. The study also found that still, students are getting information from traditional media, mainly TV. The study found that there is a positive conception that exists amongst students on the implementation of the 2030 Vision and its goals being directed equally to all segments of society, as well as the extent of it’s direct impact on the future of the kingdom. In addition, the study also found that the students are very positive towards the new economic plan and believe that oil will no longer be the main source of income for Saudi Arabia by 2030. While those ratios declined significantly when it came to the clarity on the Vision’s goals, it’s necessary that we begin working on clarifying the vision and its objectives even more to all sections of society. Finally, the study also showed that there is a strong correlation between the rate of follow-up students and relying on both traditional and new media to get their information on The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Saudi Vision 2030.
