Item Dysmenorrhea and Associated Risk Factors among University Students in Dammam(2013) Almomen, Lujain M; Al Matar, Zahra R.; Bamashmoos, Malak A.; Nawar, Samah M.; AlMulhem, BashaierDysmenorrhea is a common problem among young females, and can if severe enough, adversely affect the productivity and quality of life. The aim of present study was to determine the prevalence and predictors of dysmenorrhea among university students in Dammam. Accordingly, a cross-sectional study was conducted in Art and Science Colleges of Dammam University. 924 students were selected by stratified random sampling with proportionate allocation. The participants completed a self-administered questionnaire, which assessed socio-demographic and menstrual characteristics. In addition, weight and height were measured and body mass index was estimated. Results revealed that about 35% of the university students had severe dysmenorrhea and almost 21% had moderate to severe PMS. The most common risk factor of dysmenorrhea was positive family history (67.9%), followed by physical inactivity (52.6%) and irregular menstruation (30.8%). About 57% of students used analgesics to relieve symptoms of dysmenorrhea. Nearly 35% of the students skipped one day of college and about 8% skipped two or more days because of dysmenorrhea. Stepwise regression analysis of factors affecting dysmenorrhea revealed that the main predictors of dysmenorrhea were PMS (OR=1.6), family history (OR= 1.5) and beginning of dysmenorrhea within the first 3 years of menarche (OR= 1.4). PMS, the most preventable predictor of dysmenorrhea, was significantly associated with irregular menstruation. Hormonal manifestations of PMS were significantly associated with excess salt intake, while the circulatory manifestations were significantly associated with excess coffee intake. The results of this study calls for interventions, such as educational programs, to limit the adverse effects of the problem on the students’ quality of life and productivity.Item The Efficacy of Silver -coated Urinary Catheters in Reducing Urinary Tract Infection(2013) aljoh, alanood Ahmad AwadIntroduction: Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI) are the most common nosocomial infection ICUs. Urinary infections can be increase length of stay and mortality. Once of the strategies to reduce CAUTI is the use of silver coated urinary catheters. Aim: Aim of this study is to explore the efficacy of Silver -coated urinary catheter on reducing [CAUTI] Methodology: Experimental design was used . The present study was conducted in [ICU] at King Fahd University Hospital. Al-khobar, Eastern Province. The study subject was 60 adult patients 18 years or more who were on urinary catheter are coming during the period of data collection randomly divided to two groups. Two instruments were used for data collection:1) Demographic and medical data sheet, 2) CAUTI sheet. Results: There was a statistical significance difference between the two groups among symptoms of UTI, temperature, and WBC (P<0.05). The patients have silver –coated catheter was less organisms in the blood. fewer leukocytes, bacteriura and yeast cell in urine culture when compared to uncoated catheter patient after 3 days.[CA-UTI] rate was a statistically significance difference between the two groups[p=.003] . Conclusion and Recommendation: It can be concluded that the use of silver alloy coated urinary catheter reduces the incidence of CAUTI rate to 2.2% per three days compared to uncoated catheter rate of 13.3% per three days. It can be recommended that changing practice to use the silver coated Foley catheter to decrease risk of CAUTIItem Facilitators and Barriers to Electronic Health Record (EHR) Adoption at Government- Related Hospitals in Eastern Province- KSA(2013) Al-Daghfag, Reem; Al-Khiliwi, Ahla; Al-Awad, Fatima; Al-Amoudi, FatimaBackground: EHR applications have the potential to improve the quality and reduce the cost of health care. Nevertheless, electronic-records systems have been slow to become part of the practices of physicians in the United States. Recent estimates of such adoption by physicians range from 9 to 29%. Implementation of computerized order entry systems and EHR systems has not been universally successful, and user resistance has been implicated as a primary factor in the failure of some systems. However, user satisfaction with EHR plays a decisive role in its implementation and subsequent use. Aims: The project aimed to determine utilization of different functionalities of the EHR system by physicians and other health care providers at three government- related hospitals adopting EHR system in Eastern Province, SA and to determine factors affecting such utilization. Also, it aimed to identify barriers of utilization and degree of satisfaction of health care providers with the EHR system. Methodology: The study was a cross- sectional paper- based survey. Respondents were physicians and other health care providers adopting EHR system at three government hospitals in Eastern Province, KSA. Results: Difference between hospitals was statistically significant for all functionalities except” Create and review scanned documents” and “Allowing patients to use the Internet to access parts of their health records”. Health care providers were not using the communication function tools at all {Email, Facsimile (Fax) and, SMS} at the study hospitals. Respondents in KGH were highly satisfied with "getting information timely”, “e-prescribing is fast and easy with this EHR”, “computerized documentation are well integrated into workflow”, and “system enables me to practice higher quality medicine", followed by DMC, then QCH. Some barriers were rated as major barriers: “complexity of technology affect utilizing EHR system”, “lack of customizability of the system according to your need”, “lack of continuous training/ support from Information Technology” with the highest percentage in DMC, followed by QCH, then KGH. Conclusion& Recommendations: There was frequent utilization of some functionalities of EHR system in study hospitals. On the other hand, some barriers were rated as major barriers: “complexity of technology affect 4 utilizing EHR system”, “lack of customizability of the system according to your need”, and “lack of continuous training/ support from Information Technology” with the highest percentage in DMC, followed by QCH, then KGH. Conducting orientation for the new healthcare providers and continuous training for the current users, periodic assessment of extent of utilization of different functionalities of the system, customizability of the output according to users' need, and encouragement of users to utilize different communication tools were recommended.Item Irritable Bowel Syndrome among Health Students at University of Dammam(2013) Al Mahfoodh, Abrar; Al Mahfoodh, Zainab; Al Mahfoodh, Najwa; Al Hashim, Narjes; Al Marhoon, Amal; Al Saeed, WeamIntroduction: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional gastrointestinal disorder of an unknown cause, characterized by abdominal pain, bloating and altered bowel movement.
