Abstract Background. Medical students who sleep less due to smartphone use can experience serious health effects, which negatively affect their studies. This study was designed to explore the correlation between phone addiction and psychological distress, quality of life, and quality of sleep among applied medical sciences students. Methodology. This study was applied to 121 medical students of the University of Hail using a Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version (SAS-SV), Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), Short Form-36 Quality of Life Questionnaire, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) from February to May 2024. Results. The mean age of the students was 22.9 ± 4.7. Male students were 88, representing 72.7% of the entire sample, while the female students were 33, representing 27.3%. The correlation analysis proved a positive relation between SAS-SV and K10, poor quality of life, and poor sleep quality; additionally, the regression model demonstrated a high degree of prediction, it displayed a higher level (R = 0.672) for SAS-SV, and R2 was 0.593. Conclusion. Smartphone addiction raises the risk of health problems, psychological problems, and sleep-related problems for students in medical colleges.

Abdullah F Alhumayani, Abdulaziz A Alzaidani, Ahmed Abdelmoniem Ibrahim, Hisham Mohamed Hussein, Ibrahim M. Dewir, Mostafa Sayed – Low back pain-related misbeliefs: across-sectional study in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia –  Fizjoterapia Polska 2024; 24(5); 259-266

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG020CU1SF

Abstract
Introduction. Pain in the lower back has gained considerable attention within the medical community because of its major socioeconomic impact. Misconceptions and myths are widespread in many communities, especially in developing countries, which affects the prognosis of LBP. Aim of the study. The major goal of this study was to investigate the current LBP-related beliefs among the Saudi Arabian adult population. Methods. A cross-sectional, self-administered survey design was used to investigate the current beliefs related to LBP among 519 Saudi Arabian adults in different areas of Saudi Arabia (East, West, North, South, and Middle regions), conducted by Taif University from January 2023 to August 2023. The survey, including the LBP Beliefs Questionnaire (LBPBQ), demographic questions, and inquiries about LBP history, was made available online on a digital platform. Results. The most prevalent disbeliefs are “Back pain indicates the presence of organic injury or serious disease” (31.2% disagreed), “Back pain means one should refrain from physical activity” (36.61% disagreed), “Bed rest is the mainstay of therapy” (25.05% disagreed), “Remaining physically active is the best remedy against back pain” (38.4% rather agreed on this reversed-score question), “Someone with back pain can do things himself to ease recovery” (45.09% agreed on this reversed-score question), “Psychological factors such as thoughts and feelings can influence pain intensity” (38.73% rather agreed on this reversed-score question). Conclusion. Several misbeliefs related to LBP are still extant in the adult population in Saudi Arabia, particularly regarding physical activity, lack of self-control, pain medication, and the need for surgery.

Abstract
Objectives. A review of the systematic reviews designed to assess the overall certainty in the evidence for the effect of blood flow restriction training (BFRT) in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA).
Methods. A systematic search identified systematic reviews using BFRT in knee osteoarthritis OA. Two authors searched five electronic databases, including Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, PubMed, PEDro, and CINAHL, from October 2010 to October 2023. The quality of included reviews was analyzed by the AMSTAR tool.
Results. Six systematic reviews were eligible, and 33 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with a total of 1248 participants were included. The quality varied from moderate to high, and results showed minimal enhancement in pain, physical function, and life quality.
Conclusion. The synthesis of the reviews has shown some potential improvement in OA patient outcomes. BFRT can be beneficial in OA rehabilitation, and the findings suggest conducting a higher-quality review to explore the use of BFRT with different loads.
