Abstract

Many educational institutions around the globe utilise E-Learning, which can provide multiple benefits for learners and teachers. Students have no geographical boundaries to prevent them from learning and receiving many other benefits based on their situation and needs. In this study, we aim to investigate the acceptance and perceptions of e-learning among medical and health students in Saudi Arabia during the COVID-19 lockdown. 99% of the respondents own technologies to access e-learning.  We examined the students' learning types of preferences, and our analysis shows that around 45% preferred e-learning, 32% blended learning, and 23% chose traditional education. 29.3% disagreed, and 22% strongly disagreed that e-learning was easy to use. 32.6% agreed that e-learning was fixable, while 19.5% disagreed. We found that 16% disagreed that e-learning increases the efficiency and effectiveness of their learning, whereas 40% agreed. The researchers assessed respondents' preference for learning methods, and we reported that blended learning was preferable to traditional and e-learning. The current paper confirms the validity of the TAM model in measuring e-learning acceptance and use. We found that Medical and health students have a high favour of using e-learning. However, some issues exist in terms of its easiness.

Abstract

Over the past decade, thousands of research described the effects of increased physical activity on diabetic patients. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is considered one of the most chronic diseases that face humankind; it is a severe and long-term condition with a significant impact on the lives and well-being of individuals, families, and societies worldwide. The study participants comprised 41 males and 59 females. Their age ranged from less than 18 to more than 51. We asked the participants how old they were when they were diagnosed with diabetes. Their responses were % in 36-50 and followed by 53%. Our result shows that the first-degree kinship was 36%, and the Second-degree kinship was 51%. Our study indicated that recent studies show that Saudi populations have a high level of diabetic disease among Saudi individuals. Our results confirm that half of them have Second-degree kinship regarding the diabetic's history of DM, and diabetes is relevant among KSA individuals. The majority of the respondents are using insulin as their treatment. Furthermore, 57% lack knowledge of who got the DM. Additionally, we found that those who are inactive in their lives are 50%, while those who are highly active are 8%.
