Abstract

Background: Uremia, a common complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD), compromises patient immunity and increases susceptibility to bacterial infections. Frequent hospital visits further exacerbate this vulnerability. Specific Background: In Nasiriyah City, managing infections in uremia patients is complicated by multidrug resistance (MDR) and extensively drug resistance (XDR). Knowledge Gap: Despite the critical nature of this issue, the prevalence and resistance distribution of MDR and XDR bacterial isolates in uremia patients in this region have not been extensively studied. Aims: This research aims to establish the prevalence and resistance distribution of MDR and XDR bacterial isolates from uremia patients in Nasiriyah City, with an emphasis on treatment and infection control strategies. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Al-Hussein Teaching Hospital from February 2023 to January 2024. Results: The study identified Escherichia coli (40%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (30%), Staphylococcus aureus (20%), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (10%) as predominant pathogens. High resistance rates were observed against Ampicillin (95%), Amoxicillin-Clavulanate (80%), and Ceftriaxone (75%), Novelty: This study provides the first comprehensive data on the prevalence and resistance profiles of MDR and XDR bacterial isolates in uremia patients in Nasiriyah City. Implications: The findings highlight the urgent need for stringent infection control measures, the application of effective antibiotics like carbapenems, and the development of alternative therapeutic strategies. Highlight: High resistance to Ampicillin (95%) and Amoxicillin-Clavulanate (80%). Lowest resistance to Imipenem (5%) and Meropenem (10%). Urgent need for Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs. Keyword: Uremia, CKD, MDR bacteria, antibiotic resistance, Nasiriyah City

Abstract

General Background: Psychological defeat significantly impacts individuals' emotional well-being, particularly in vulnerable populations such as orphan students. Existing research often overlooks the nuanced experiences of orphans in secondary education. Specific Background: Orphanhood, encompassing the loss of one or both parents, creates unique psychological challenges that can affect students' emotional and academic performance. This study addresses the gap in understanding how these challenges manifest among orphan students in secondary schools. Knowledge Gap: Despite acknowledging the emotional difficulties faced by orphans, limited research has specifically explored psychological defeat among this group, particularly concerning the impact of parental loss and gender differences. Aims: This research aims to identify and measure the degree of psychological defeat among orphan students in secondary schools in Basra Governorate. The study also seeks to determine if psychological defeat varies by the type of parental loss and gender. Results: The study found that orphan students experience a high level of psychological defeat, with no significant gender differences observed. However, significant variations in psychological defeat were identified based on the type of parental loss (father, mother, or both). Novelty: This research introduces a newly developed scale for measuring psychological defeat tailored to the context of orphan students, filling a critical gap in existing literature. Implications: The findings underscore the need for targeted psychological support and interventions for orphan students, considering the type of parental loss. Recommendations include developing tailored counseling programs and support mechanisms to address the specific needs of these students and mitigate their psychological defeat. Highlights: High psychological defeat in orphan students, regardless of gender. Variations by parental loss type, significant differences found. New scale developed for measuring psychological defeat in orphans. Keywords: Psychological defeat, orphan students, secondary education, parental loss, emotional well-being

Abstract

Background: Narcissistic personality traits have garnered increasing attention in psychological research, particularly within academic environments where student behavior and performance are critical. Understanding these traits and their influencing factors is essential for improving student well-being and academic outcomes. Specific Background: The impact of gender and field of study on narcissistic traits among university students remains underexplored. Kernberg's (1970) theoretical framework provides a basis for investigating these traits through empirical measures. Knowledge Gap: While previous studies have examined narcissism broadly, there is limited research focusing specifically on how gender and academic specialization affect narcissistic traits among university students. Aims: This study aimed to identify narcissistic personality traits among university students and examine variations based on gender and field of study using a newly developed Narcissistic Personality Scale. Results: The research, involving 376 students from the University of Basra, utilized a 35-item scale validated through rigorous psychometric testing. The results indicated that the average narcissism score was significantly higher than the hypothesized mean. Male students exhibited higher levels of narcissism compared to female students, and humanities students scored higher than their scientific counterparts. Novelty: This study provides new insights into the prevalence and variance of narcissistic traits among university students, highlighting significant differences related to gender and academic specialization. Implications: The findings underscore the need for university programs to address narcissistic traits and their impact on student behavior and academic performance. Future research should investigate the longitudinal effects of narcissism and evaluate interventions aimed at reducing these traits. Highlights: Gender differences: males show higher narcissism. Humanities students exhibit more narcissistic traits. Calls for targeted university interventions. Keywords: narcissistic personality, university students, gender differences, academic specialization, psychometric scale

Abstract

Background: Drug addiction remains a significant public health issue globally, with substantial personal and societal impacts. Effective treatment and health promotion behaviors are crucial for recovery. Specific Background: In Iraq, the context of addiction treatment and the factors influencing health promotion behaviors among male addicts are underexplored. Knowledge Gap: There is limited understanding of the perceived severity and barriers to health promotion behaviors among male addicts in drug addiction centers in Iraq. Aims: Aims to assess the perceived severity and barriers to health promotion behavior among male addicts with a drug use disorder. Methods: A descriptive study design was utilized, with a convenience sample of 100 male individuals aged 15 to 45 from the Al-Ataa Hospital for Addiction and Psychological Rehabilitation. Data were collected via a questionnaire comprising socio-demographic characteristics and scales measuring beliefs regarding addiction. Cronbach's alpha for the perceived barriers and severity scales were 0.789 and 0.881, respectively. Results: The average participant age was 28 years, with 49% single, 71% living in lower-class neighborhoods, and 72% voluntary admissions.

Abstract

General Background: Learning motivation represents a fundamental psychological factor that drives students to achieve educational goals and sustain academic engagement. Specific Background: Learning motivation among university students is shaped by internal factors such as self-control and external factors such as peer social support, both of which are essential in supporting academic persistence and achievement. Knowledge Gap: Previous studies predominantly examine learning motivation among school students or separately analyze peer social support and self-control, with limited investigation integrating both variables simultaneously among university students. Aims: This study aims to examine the relationship between peer social support and self-control with learning motivation among students at Muhammadiyah Sidoarjo University. Results: Using inferential quantitative methods with accidental sampling of 252 students, data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings revealed a statistically significant relationship between peer social support and self-control with learning motivation (R = 0.732; R² = 0.536; p < 0.001). Peer social support contributed 22.6% and self-control contributed 31% to learning motivation, indicating self-control as the stronger predictor. Novelty: This study integrates internal and external psychological determinants simultaneously within a university student population, providing empirical evidence on their combined relationship with learning motivation. Implications: The findings highlight the importance of strengthening peer-based support systems and fostering self-regulation competencies to support student learning motivation in higher education contexts. Highlights: Combined Internal Regulation and Interpersonal Assistance Explained 53.6% Variance in Academic Drive. Individual Behavioral Regulation Contributed a Larger Predictive Proportion Than Social Assistance. Student Academic Drive Was Statistically Associated With Both Interpersonal and Personal Psychological Factors. Keywords: Peer Social Support, Self-Control, Learning Motivation, University Students, Multiple Linear Regression
