Abstract Background Insufficient physical activity is one of the leading mortality risks worldwide for cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases. Physiotherapists (PT) are core healthcare professionals who play a major role in the prevention of disease complications and in inspiring a healthy lifestyle. To identify challenges in the promotion of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation (CR) in Lebanon, a survey was conducted among PT and physiotherapy students. The aim was to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of CR in Lebanon. Results The response rate was 46.1% (N = 322). Results show that 24.5% of respondents have good to excellent knowledge about CR. More than 60% of the respondents indicate possible barriers to starting a CR program, and one of two respondents identify the absence of skills as a main barrier. Findings highlight the importance of the role of PT as a mediator to increase a healthy lifestyle among patients and to promote the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and pulmonary diseases in the country. Conclusions and recommendations Our results support the evidence and clinical guidelines that PT play a major role by increasing the participation of patients in CR. A cost-effective CR program needs to be covered by the private and public system in Lebanon.

UNSTRUCTURED This study aims to evaluate the role of Jordanian veterinarians in terms of their knowledge, attitudes and common practices in combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and summarize the registered veterinary drugs between 2017 2020. Descriptive study data were collected using a standardized questionnaire that focused on the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of Jordanian veterinarians. The findings were analyzed descriptively; 84% of the participants agreed with the statement on the definition of AMR. The majority (95.65%) of participants agreed that AMR is a challenge for the veterinary sector in Jordan and that it should be prioritized over other zoonotic diseases. Approximately 69% of the participants believed that the misuse and overuse of antimicrobials by unqualified, fraudulent, or unauthorized practitioners is the primary reason for the rise of cases associated with AMR and the challenges that accompany these. The most common practice among the respondents in this study was to recommend clients (e.g., farmers and owners) to practice good animal husbandry (80.00%). The study also revealed that there was a significant difference (p = 0.015) between attendance at AMR training sessions and the professional sector (private, public, and academic) of the veterinarians. This study underscores the importance of implementing a continuous education program on AMR so as to enhance the all-round knowledge of veterinarians and improve their advisory skills. In addition, laws should be enacted to ensure that veterinarians prescribe the correct antimicrobials and to improve surveillance systems for monitoring the use of antimicrobials in veterinary medicine.

Health counseling on the importance of the role of traders in waste management in the market environment is one of the ways used to increase the knowledge of traders about the importance of waste management and market waste with the aim of changing or influencing the behavior of traders who let waste put in the open space to be left to rot by itself which becomes a source of air pollution because of its smell, and also become the cause of disease outbreaks and as one of the causes of flooding. This counseling aims to know the influence of health counseling on the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices of traders in maintaining environmental health. The method used in this counseling was using a pre-test before counseling and post-test after counseling. Based on the results of our approach, it can be concluded that maintaining environmental health and knowing the impacts caused by waste is very important for personal health both spiritual and physical health. Therefore, in order to avoid unwanted diseases stemming from environmental health problems, it is necessary to reconsider the process of good waste management. When it is not noticed, it can affect our own health, then we will be vulnerable to various kinds of diseases that can harm ourselves. ABSTRAK Penyuluhan kesehatan tentang Pentingnya Peran Pedagang dalam Pengelolaan Sampah di Lingkungan Pasar merupakan salah satu cara yang digunakan untuk menambah pengetahuan para pedagang tentang pentingnya pengelolaan sampah dan limbah pasar dengan tujuan mengubah atau mempengaruhi perilaku para pedagang yang membiarkan sampah ditaruh ditempat terbuka untuk dibiarkan membusuk dengan sendirinya yang menjadi sumber polusi udara karena baunya, dan juga menjadi penyebab terjadinya wabah penyakit serta sebagai salah satu penyebab terjadinya banjir. Penyuluhan ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penyuluhan kesehatan terhadap tingkat pengetahuan, sikap, dan praktik para pedagang dalam menjaga kesehatan lingkungan. Metode yang dilakukan dalam penyuluhan ini yaitu menggunakan pre test sebelum melakukan penyuluhan dan melakukan post test setelah melakukan penyuluhan. Berdasarkan dari hasil pendekatan yang kami lakukan tersebut dapat diambil kesimpulan bahwa menjaga kesehatan lingkungan dan mengetahui dampak yang diakibatkan oleh sampah sangatlah penting bagi kesehatan diri baik kesehatan rohani maupun kesehatan jasmani. Maka dari itu agar terhindar dari penyakit yang tidak diinginkan yang berasal dari masalah kesehatan lingkungan tersebut perlu diperhatikan kembali proses pengelolaan sampah yang baik. Karena apabila tidak diperhatikan dapat mempengaruhi kesehatan diri sendiri maka kita akan rentan terkena berbagai macam penyakit yang dapat membahayakan diri kita.

Plastic use as a major cause of climate change was agreed upon by 95% of the respondents. About half of the respondents were very much concerned about climate change and 80% of them were very much interested in knowing more about climate change and its impact. Only 24.8% of the respondents read/watch stories on climate change.Conclusions: Knowledge levels of the respondents were found to be reasonably good but the same cannot be said about their attitude and practices. Role of NGOs, social communities and media is of utmost importance to make people aware of the harmful effects of climate change on both the environment as well as the health of the people.
