Violence against health care providers is one of the most pressing problems faced by health care systems around the world. Because of unpredictability and acuity of emergency cases, emergency nurses are more vulnerable to workplace violence. Violence against emergency nurses is a complex and multidimensional problem that has a devastating impact on the physical, psychological, and social well-being of nurse victims. The purpose of this review is to integrate evidence on manifestations, contributing factors, and consequences of workplace violence perpetrated by patients and/or their relatives against emergency nurses, in addition to behavioral responses of emergency nurse victims toward workplace violence. An integrative review was conducted by searching 3 main electronic databases: Web of Sciences, MEDLINE, and ScienceDirect. Eighteen studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final review process. The review identified the most common forms, contributing factors, unpleasant consequences of workplace violence, and behavioral reaction of nurse victims toward violence acts. Reporting rates of workplace violence among emergency nurses were found to be low. It is recommended to develop more effective workplace violence prevention and reporting programs

Methods: Using a cross-sectional design and self-reported questionnaire, data were collected from 150 university students. Results: Use of self-medication was reported by 69.3% of the students. The most frequent medications used were analgesics (61.3%), cold & cough medications (58%) and antibiotics (56.7%), with the most common health conditions for self-medication being headaches (64.7%), colds and flu (62.7%), and fever (52.0%). The ease of access to medication (36.0%), advice from friends (32.7%), lack of time to consult physicians (27.3%), long waiting times for treatment (26.7%), hospital medications do not work (20.0%), and the hospital or clinic is very far away (18.7%) were reported by the students as reasons leading to self-medication. The most common sources for self-medication were pharmacies (58.7%), and available in home (49.3%), and hospital (31.3%). Conclusion: The use of self-medication is high among university students. Therefore, decision makers should pay more attention to this phenomenon and more education sessions should be given to youth to draw their attention to the possible negative effects of self-medication.

Introduction: Cardiac arrest is the cause of death for thousands of people. Knowledge of Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and practice of simple CPR techniques increase the chances of survival of the patient until experienced medical help arrives. Most victims of cardiac arrest don't receive adequate resuscitation within the critical time which reduces the chance of survival. Therefore, it is crucial that everyone in the medical field has knowledge of CPR. The purpose of this study was to assess awareness and knowledge of health-college students about CPR at Taif University. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was used to study 320 health-college students selected conveniently from Taif University. A 20 items questionnaire developed by the researchers was used to collect data about awareness of participants of CPR. The validity and reliability of questionnaire was tested and proved. All ethical issues like consent form and anonymity were considered. Data were analyzed using SPSS (ver. 16) to get descriptive and inferential data of the questionnaires. Results: Most participants scored less than 50%. There were significant (p<0.05) differences among health colleges, program and year of study program. Nursing students got the highest score among all participants. In addition, students of the bridging program had higher score than regular students. All questions were answered correctly by at least third of participants. Low rate of correct answers were found in infant CPR, steps of doing CPR and update information of CPR. Discussion: The result of current study reveals lack of awareness of CPR in most health colleges' students. This agreed with most previous studies. Despite significant differences among medical profession in their CPR scores, they didn't reach the acceptable level of awareness. The reason for low scores of CPR survey is lack of theoretical and clinical training of up-to-date CPR in health colleges' curricula. This study recommended giving adequate BLS knowledge and training for all health professionals and included a BLS course in the curricula of health colleges.
