Transdiagnostic unified protocol on anxiety disorders
(The European Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies, 2023) Aydın, İclal; Uysal, Burcu; Turkcapar, Hakan; Uysal, Burcu
Introduction: The transdiagnostic approach argues that the common features are needed to be taken into account [e.g. distress intolerance (DI), intolerance of uncertainty (IU), anxiety sensitivity (AS)] underlying emotional disorders rather than evaluating them separately since the dissection of anxiety disorders has increased with each emerging version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), in which the classification of anxiety disorders resulted in an increased number of intervention protocols for each disorder. That is why an increase in comorbidity among anxiety disorders is observed. This also caused an increase in comorbidity among anxiety disorders. The transdiagnostic approach offers a unified protocol (UP) for strengthening the common features, thereby both preventing the emergence of emotional disorders andor intervening in the symptom severity of emotional disorders, which can be applied to different types of emotional disorders. The main aim of this study is to develop a unified protocol. The UP will include interventions developing the levels of common transdiagnostic features (DI, IU, AS).

Multicenter registry and test bed for extended outpatient hemodynamic monitoring: The hemodynamic frontiers in heart failure (HF2) initiative
(Frontiers, 2023) Heywood, J. Thomas; Munshi, Kartik; Jordan, Timothy; Muse, Evan; Fudim, Marat; Sauer, Andrew J.; McDermott, Margaret; Shah, Hirak; Bhimaraj, Arvind; Khedraki, Rola; Robinson, Monique R.; McCann, Patrick; Volz, Elizabeth; Guha, Ashrith; Jonsson, Orvar; Bhatt, Kunjan A.; Bennett, Mosi K.; Benjamin, Terrie Ann; Guglin, Maya; Abraham, Jacob; Jordan, Timothy
Background: Hemodynamic Frontiers in Heart Failure (HF2) is a multicenter academic research consortium comprised of 14 US institutions with mature remote monitoring programs for ambulatory patients with heart failure (HF). The consortium developed a retrospective and prospective registry of patients implanted with a wireless pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) sensor. Goals/aims: HF2 registry collects demographic, clinical, laboratory, echocardiographic (ECHO), and hemodynamic data from patients with PAP sensors. The aims of HF2 are to advance understanding of HF and to accelerate development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic innovations. Methods: HF2 includes adult patients implanted with a PAP sensor as per FDA indications (New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III HF functional class with a prior hospitalization, or patients with NYHA Class II or brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) elevation without hospitalization) at a HF2 member site between 1/1/19 to present. HF2 registry is maintained at University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC). The registry was approved by the institutional review board (IRB) at all participating institutions with required data use agreements. Institutions report data into the electronic registry database using REDCap, housed at KUMC. Results: This initial data set includes 254 patients implanted from the start of 2019 until May 2023. At time of device implant, the cohort average age is 73 years old, 59.8% are male, 72% have NYHA Class III HF, 40% have left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 40%, 35% have LVEF > 50%, mean BNP is 560 pg/ml, mean N-Terminal pro-BNP (NTproBNP) is 5,490 pg/ml, mean creatinine is 1.65 mg/dl. Average baseline hemodynamics at device implant are right atrial pressure (RAP) of 11 mmHg, pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) of 47 mmHg, pulmonary artery diastolic pressure (PADP) 21 mmHg, mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) of 20 mmHg, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) of 19 mmHg, cardiac output (CO) of 5.3 L/min, and cardiac index (CI) of 2.5 L/min/m2. Conclusion: A real-world registry of patients implanted with a PAP sensor enables long-term evaluation of hemodynamic and clinic outcomes in highly-phenotyped ambulatory HF patients, and creates a unique opportunity to validate and test novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to HF.
Bağlamsal davranışçılık açısından travmaya yaklaşım
(Nobel Akademik Yayıncılık, 2023) Karatepe, Hasan Turan
İnsanın psikolojik acılarını anlama, dindirme veya yönetme girişimleri, insanlık tarihi kadar eski bir uğraş alanıdır. Bu uğraş tarihsel seyri içinde zaman zaman teolojik, ideolojik ve felsefi disiplinler gibi insanın ontolojik varlığını merkezi ilgi alanı haline getiren yaklaşımların bünyesinde devam ettiği gibi, zaman zaman da bu alanlardan ayrı, yekpare bir çalışma alanı olarak psikoloji ve ruh sağlığı gibi disiplinler içinde ilerlemiştir. Bu alan paylaşımı, sadece modern döneme özgü bir durum değildir. Bu iki yaklaşım Hipokrat döneminden itibaren karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Anlaşılamayan davranışların animistik ruhların kontrolünde olduğu, psikolojik sıkıntıların; mitolojik, dinî ve büyüsel çerçevede değerlendirildiği dönemlere Hipokrat, psikolojik zorlanmaları biyolojik parametrelerdeki değişimler açıklamaktaydı (Millon, 2009)…

Application of Traditional Islamically Integrated Psychotherapy (TIIP) and Its clinical outcome on psychological distress among American Muslims in outpatient therapy
(American Psychological Association, 2023) Khan, Fahad; Keshavarzi, Hooman; Ahmad, Mahnoor; Ashai, Shereen; Sanders, Peter; Keshavarzi, Hooman
Although individuals frequently turn to religion and spirituality in times of crises and other mental health concerns (Vieten & Lukoff, 2022; Yamada et al., 2020), limited research explores its utility when purposefully integrated into mental health treatment, especially in Muslim populations. While there is evidence for the clinical efficacy of Islamic adaptations of cognitive and rational therapies for Muslim patients, there are very few clinical outcome studies on inherently Islamic models of psychotherapy (Hook et al., 2010; Smith et al., 2007; Worthington & Sandage, 2001). The present study explored the clinical efficacy of an Islamic model of psychotherapy, known as Traditional Islamically Integrated Psychotherapy (TIIP; Keshavarzi et al., 2020) through a practice-based evidence approach. Five clinicians, trained in the TIIP model, offered services to 107 patients for 420 sessions at an outpatient mental health center tailored to address Muslim mental health concerns. The therapist session checklist indicated that TIIP practitioners not only utilized Islamic spiritual interventions but also integrated cognitive and emotion-focused interventions into the TIIP model of care. The outcomes of the study demonstrated a reduction in clinical distress as measured by Clinically Adaptive Multidimensional Outcome Survey and a reduction in functional distress through clinical outcomes in routine evaluation over time, indicating preliminary evidence for the efficacy of TIIP in application to Muslim patients. Process variables such as session intentions, counseling topics, as well as specific interventions from the TIIP model are presented.
State-religion separation among Muslims in Turkey: Theory and empirical findings
(Springer, 2023) Ok, Üzeyir; Ok, Üzeyir
Ideological coherence and harmony among members of a multi-cultural and pluralist society are fundamental for individuals to feel at peace. However, West-based secular ideologies and lifestyles have often contradicted with traditional religion, which led to tensions and conflicts. In modern times, it is expected that states take not only a neutral position concerning religions, ideologies, worldviews and lifestyles but also support and protect such freedoms. The aim of this study is to examine the definition of state-religion separation and evaluate its inconsistencies in current applications in light of this definition within Turkey. It is observed that the perception that Islam is traditional but not open practically, theologically and empirically contradicts the state-religion separation and other civil liberties. There are psychological bases for some Muslims to be biased regarding state-religion separation. This paper shows that the misuse of laïcité, a version of state-religion separation, polarises society and may result in fundamentalist or populist reactions to religion or the secular system. The study ends with recommendations regarding how to approach the state-religion separation.
Sleep quality, quality of life, fatigue, and mental health in COVID-19 post-pandemic Türkiye: A cross-sectional study
(Frontiers, 2024) Bener, Abdulbari; Morgül, Ebru; Morgul, Ebru; Tokaç, Mahmut; Ventriglio, Antonio; Jordan, Timothy; Jordan, Timothy R.
Aim: This study explores the predictors and associated risk factors of sleep quality, quality of life, fatigue, and mental health among the Turkish population during the COVID-19 post-pandemic period. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional survey using multi-stage, stratified random sampling was employed. In total, 3,200 persons were approached. Of these, 2,624 (82%) completed the questionnaire package consisting of socio-demographic information, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the WHO Quality of Life Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF), Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS), Patients Health Questionnaire (PHQ-15), GAD-7 anxiety scale, and the 21-item Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS-21). Results: Significant differences between genders were found regarding socio-demographic characteristics (p < 0.01). Using PHQ-15 for depressive disorders, significant differences were found between normal and high severity scores (≥ 10), regarding age group (p < 0.001), gender (p = 0.049), educational level (p < 0.001), occupational status (p = 0.019), cigarette smoking (p = 0.002), waterpipe-narghile smoking (p = 0.039), and co-morbidity (p = 0.003). The WHOQOL-BREF indicated strong correlations between public health, physical health, psychological status, social relationships, environmental conditions, and sleep disorders (p < 0.01). Furthermore, comparisons of the prevalence of mental health symptoms and sleeping with PHQ-15 scores ≥ 10 (p = 0.039), fatigue (p = 0.012), depression (p = 0.009), anxiety (p = 0.032), stress (p = 0.045), and GAD-7 (p < 0.001), were significantly higher among the mental health condition according to sleeping disorder status. Multiple regression analysis revealed that DASS21 stress (p < 0.001), DASS21 depression (p < 0.001), DASS21 anxiety (p = 0.002), physical health (WHOQOL-BREF) (p = 0.007), patient health depression-PHQ-15 (p = 0.011), psychological health (WHOQOL-BREF) (p = 0.012), fatigue (p = 0.017), and environmental factors (WHOQOL-BREF) (p = 0.041) were the main predictor risk factors associated with sleep when adjusted for gender and age. Conclusion: The current study has shown that sleep quality was associated with the mental health symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, and fatigue. In addition, insufficient sleep duration and unsatisfactory sleep quality seemed to affect physical and mental health functioning.
İnanç krizleri ve dinî kimlik dönüşümü
(Nobel Akademik Yayıncılık, 2023) Morgül, Ebru; Morgül, Ebru
Bireylerin yaşadığı dinî dönüşümler, dinî kimliklerinde ve yaşantıların¬da değişimlere götüren süreçler, özellikle din psikolojisi ve sosyal psikoloji alanlarındaki araştırmalarda önemli odak noktalarından biri olagelmiştir. Geçmiş yıllardaki çalışmalar çoğunlukla dindarlaşma, bir dine girme, din de¬ğiştirme (conversion) gibi konulara yoğunlaşırken,1 son yıllarda artan yeni akımlar ve kurumsal dinlerden ayrılmalarda görülen artışla birlikte dinden çıkma (deconversion) konusu araştırmacıların ilgisini çekmektedir. Dinî bir kimliği benimsemiş bir kişinin önceki inançlarından uzaklaşmasına götüren süreçleri bir tür inanç krizi olarak incelemek mümkündür. Bu bölümde inanç krizleri, psikolojik bir yaklaşımla ele alınarak, inanç gelişimi ve dinî kimlik gelişimi ve dinden çıkmaya dair teoriler gözden geçirilecek ve dinden çık¬ma ile ilgili psikolojik faktörler güncel literatür bağlamında incelenecektir. Bölüm sonunda bir dinden çıkma öyküsünün nitel analizi ve tartışmaya yer verilecektir…
Contestation of the "self" in modern and religious psychologies
(American Psychological Association, 2023) Noor, Noraini Binti Mohd; Berisha, Elma; Noor, Noraini Binti Mohd
We begin our article with commonly available insights from world religions into the notions of “human nature,” “self,” “soul,” and “spirit.” Then, we take brief notes of the more recent metamorphosis of the same notions into “subject,” “ego,” “personality,” “consciousness,” and the like up to modern times and beyond. In doing so, we explore a number of attempts at defining the human self and the many more ways they fail to achieve a satisfactory consensus on the conception of the human self. Parallel streams of both convergent and divergent tendencies are observed in philosophy and psychology, in scientific context as well as in popular culture. To understand these better, we end in juxtaposing between the religious and modern views on the self, and asking if the two can ever be reconciled.
The inventory of problems-29 is a cross‑culturally valid symptom validity test: Initial validation in a Turkish community sample
(Springer, 2023) Akca, Ali Y. E.; Tepedelen, Mehmed Seyda; Uysal, Burcu; Uysal, Burcu; Erdodi, Laszio A.
Because the actuarial evidence base for symptom validity tests (SVTs) is developed in a specific population, it is unclear whether their clinical utility is transferable to a population with different demographic characteristics. To address this, we report here the validation study of a recently developed free-standing SVT, the Inventory of Problems-29 (IOP-29), in a Turkish community sample. We employed a mixed design with a simulation paradigm: The Turkish IOP–29 was presented to the same participants (N = 125; 53.6% female; age range: 19–53) three times in an online format, with instructions to respond honestly (HON), randomly (RND), and attempt to feign a psychiatric disorder (SIM) based on different vignettes. In the SIM condition, participants were presented with one of three scripts instructing them to feign either schizophrenia (SIM-SCZ), depression (SIM-DEP), or posttraumatic stress disorder (SIM-PTSD). As predicted, the Turkish IOP–29 is effective in discriminating between credible and noncredible presentations and equally sensitive to feigning of different psychiatric disorders: The standard cutoff (FDS ≥ .50) is uniformly sensitive (90.2% to 92.9%) and yields a specificity of 88%. Random responding produces FDS scores more similar to those of noncredible presentations, and the random responding score (RRS) has incremental validity in distinguishing random responding from feigned and honest responding. Our findings reveal that the classification accuracy of the IOP–29 is stable across administration languages, feigned clinical constructs, and geographic regions. Validation of the Turkish IOP–29 will be a valuable addition to the limited availability of SVTs in Turkish. We discuss limitations and future directions.
Psychological interventions for self-harm behaviour and suicide attempts in borderline personality disorder: A systematic review
(Lut TAMAM, 2023) Kavla, Büşra; Uysal, Burcu; Uysal, Burcu
Self-harm behaviour and suicide attempts are considered maladaptive coping mechanisms by individuals with a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD). Numerous studies have demonstrated that individuals with BPD are at a heightened risk for self-harm behaviour and suicide. Therefore, there is a need for intervention efforts aimed at reducing self-harm and suicide attempts in this population by promoting more functional coping strategies. No systematic review has been conducted to explore the effectiveness of such interventions. A systematic review was performed to identify randomized controlled trials of interventions to reduce self-harm and suicide attempts among individuals with BPD, published between 2012 and 2022. PsycARTICLES, PubMed, Web of Science, Science Direct, and Taylor & Francis databases were examined in the review. A total of 6,760 studies were initially screened, only 13 were selected for review based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results indicated that the standard dialectical behaviour therapy protocol, with the addition of psychological intervention components such as skills training, exposure and acceptance, statistically significantly increased recovery. Statistically significant results have been obtained from various psychotherapeutic intervention groups such as schema therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy and emotion regulation therapy However, it was noted that existing protocols might be inadequate in preventing relapse and addressing potential negative outcomes such as premature termination of therapy.
COVID-19 sürecinde gençlere yönelik online ACT temelli başa çıkma becerilerini geliştirme atölyesi
(Bilişsel ve Davranışsal Psikoterapiler Derneği, 2021) Uysal, Burcu; Gülay, Sümeyra; Uysal, Burcu
2019 yılının sonunda Çin’de başlayan Koronavirüs pandemisi ve bu sebeple ortaya çıkan sınırlamalar her yaştan bireyi stres altına sokmuştur. Sosyal izolasyon, online eğitimin getirdiği zorluklar, motivasyon eksikliği ve can sıkıntısı gençlerde kaygı ve depresyonda artışa sebep olmuş (Marques de Miranda, da Silva Athanasio, Cecília de Sena Oliveira ve Simoes Silva, 2020), ayrıca uykusuzluk, odaklanma güçlüğü gibi zorluklara da yol açmıştır (Golberstein, Wen ve Miller, 2020; Wang, Zhang, Zhao, Zhang ve Jiang, 2020). Bu çalışmada pandemi sürecinde Türkiye’de bilhassa belirli sınırlamalara muhatap olan 20 yaş altı gençlerde başa çıkma becerilerini arttırmaya yönelik online Kabul ve Kararlılık Terapisi (ACT) temelli atölye çalışması geliştirmek ve etkinliğini pilot bir çalışma ile incelemek amaçlanmıştır.
Examining the effectiveness of a group hope intervention program in Syrian refugee children: A pilot study
(Taylor & Francis, 2023) Ataman, Aslıhan; Uysal, Burcu
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a 6-session hope-based intervention program on the levels of hope and psychological resilience of Syrian refugee children. The pre-test post-test control group design was implemented. A total of 42 Syrian refugee students in 5th grade participated in the study. 2 × 2 mixed ANOVA, independent sample t-test, and dependent sam-ple t-test were conducted for data analysis. Mixed ANOVA revealed that the intervention group had more improvement in hope and psychological resilience scores compared to the control group. Dependent sample t-test revealed that while the hope and resili-ence scores of the intervention group were maintained, the hope scores of the control group significantly decreased. Independent sample t-test revealed a statistically significant difference between the post-test hope scores of the groups. Research findings sup-ported that hope-oriented approaches can be effective in improv-ing the resilience of Syrian refugee children in the long term.
Reducing test anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic: A comparison of the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy
(Sage Journals, 2023) Uysal, Burcu; Görmez, Vahdet; Karatepe, Hasan Turan; Sönmez, Dilruba; Taştekne, Feyzanur; Tepedelen, Mehmed Seyda; Jordan, Timothy R.; Uysal, Burcu; Jordan, Timothy
Educational assessments can affect students' mental health, particularly during a pandemic. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) are widely efficacious for reducing test anxiety, as well as general anxiety and rumination. However, the effectiveness of these two therapies for students during COVID-19 is unclear. We measured the effectiveness of ACT and CBT for managing test anxiety, general anxiety, and rumination during COVID-19 for 77 students taking Türkiye's national university entrance exam, assigned to either the ACT or CBT psychoeducation programs. Both programs reduced test anxiety, general anxiety, and rumination, and showed similar levels of effectiveness. This suggests that ACT and CBT are both important for improving students' mental health during COVID-19 and either may be beneficial.
Challenges of ELT during the new normal: A case study of Malaysia, Turkey and Palestine
(Librairie du Liban Publishers, 2023) Assaiqeli, Aladdin; Maniam, Mahendran; Farrah, Mohammed; Morgül, Ebru; Ramli, Khalilah; Morgül, Ebru
Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in December 2019, which has since proved to be a pandemic of variants, the educational landscape has undergone a drastic transformation as educational institutions across the globe have shifted en masse into online learning, resulting in an unprecedented paradigm shift from on-campus face-to-face instruction to a remote teaching model. Pivotal and timely, this applied linguistic survey research, aimed to investigate this “forced immersion” into academic cyberspace and the challenges created by this “emergency adoption” of virtual education by exploring the experiences, challenges and perceptions of 50 English language faculty members affiliated with three universities in three different countries. The study sought to identify and document (1) the effectiveness of online teaching, (2) the difficulties of its implementation, (3) student interaction and engagement in the online environment, and (4) factors that could enhance its efficacy. The study employed a descriptive quantitative research approach. The study concluded that the success of online distance learning is contingent on several issues. This case study provides educators and educational leaders, based on the expressed perceptions and needs of faculty, with pedagogical insights, which could be of significance to institutional strategic planning and professional development. The study generates knowledge related to applied linguistic and educational research and furthers our understanding of the challenges of online learning. © 2023 Librairie du Liban Publishers.

Kampüste manevi bakım: İngiltere örneği ve Türkiye için çıkarımlar
(İbn Haldun Üniversitesi, 2023) Ok, Üzeyir; Gören, Ayşe Burcu; Ok, Üzeyir
Ergenlikten yetişkinliğe geçiş aşamasındaki üniversite öğrencilerini kampüste bilişsel ve sosyal gelişim bakımdan önemli görevler, güçlükler ve sorgulamalar beklemektedir. Aileden ayrılma ve yaşanan bu tür gelişim sorunlarının zamanında, yerinde ve yabancılaşma olmadan onların değerleri çerçevesinde çözümlenmesi son derece önemlidir. Aksi takdirde zamanında müdahale edilmeyen ve çözülemeyen sorunlar onların marjinal tutumlar ve yaşam tarzları geliştirmelerine ve ruh sağlığı bakımdan daha fazla zorlanmalarına yol açabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı İngiltere’deki üniversitelerde din görevlileri tarafından yürütülen kampüs manevi bakım (MB) hizmetlerinin nasıl yürütüldüğünü göstermek ve benzer bir modelin Türkiye üniversitelerinde geliştirilmesine ön ayak olmaktır. Bu amaçla çalışmada İngiltere’nin Birmingham şehrindeki iki üniversitede çalışan biri Müslüman 4 MB görevlisi ile yapılan nitel çalışmaya yer verilmiştir. Nitel veriler iki ayrı araştırmacı tarafından literatür bilgileriyle karşılaştırılarak analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçta kampüs MB hizmetleriyle ilgili aşağıdaki ana konular ortaya çıkmıştır: Kampüs MB hizmetlerinin tanımı, yapılanması ve organizasyonu, amacı, görevlilerinin eğitimi, uygulamada kullanılan yeterlilikler ve beceriler, temel destek biçimleri, genel stratejiler, danışanlar ve sorunları (sosyal kimlik, aidiyet, inanç ile ilgili konular, ruh sağlığı konuları, yakın ilişkiler), MB görevlilerinin karşılaştıkları güçlükler ve yapılan öneriler yer almaktadır. Çalışma literatür incelendiğinde Türkiye’de ilk çalışma olması bakımından tarihi önemli bir konuma sahiptir ve bu alandaki bulgular Türkiye’de benzer bir modelin geliştirilmesine öncülük edebilecek niteliktedir.
Investigating associations between cognitive empathy, affective empathy and anxiety in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder
(Taylor & Francis, 2023) Sönmez, Dilruba; Jordan, Timothy R.; Jordan, Timothy
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is strongly associated with socio-cognitive impairments that may result in vulnerability to other mental health conditions, particularly anxiety disorders. This study examined the relationship between anxiety disorders and two key socio-cognitive impairments (cognitive empathy, affective empathy) in 60 adolescents (aged 11–18 years) with and without ASD. Adolescents with ASD showed cognitive empathy was negatively associated with separation anxiety disorder, whereas positive associations between affective empathy and generalized anxiety disorder, and positive marginal associations between affective empathy, social phobia, total anxiety, and separation anxiety disorder were observed. These findings suggest that cognitive and affective empathy show different patterns of associations with anxiety-related issues in ASD, and these differences should be considered for interventions and treatment programs.
Lessons to be learned: The knowledge, attitudes, and practices of Turkish people towards the COVID-19 pandemic
(Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2022) Bener, Abdulbari; Atak, Muhammed; Morgül, Ebru; Barışık, Cem Cahit; Morgül, Ebru
Background: The world experienced the greatest pandemic of the 21st century with the emergence of a new and readily transmissible the coronavirus disease. Understanding knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of the public towards the pandemic is an essential part of developing effective preventive strategies. Aim: The objective of this study was to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) concerning the coronavirus (COVID 19) among population in Istanbul. Methods: This is a cross sectional and multi stage, stratified random sampling based on multi center population of Istanbul. A total of 5,414 persons were contacted and 4361 participants (80.5%) gave consent. The data were analyzed using descriptive and multiple regression analyses. Results: There were significant differences between low education and high educational level with respect to age groups, gender, occupation, income, residence, number of rooms and family members (P < 0.001). Responses concerning knowledge of COVID 19 indicated that subjects with high education level were significantly higher regarding knowledge of the signs and symptoms of COVID 19 and methods of detecting COVID 19 respectively. Majority of the participants consider COVID 19 risk is higher than AIDS or Cancer (75.8% of low education vs. 67.2% of high education level (P < 0.001). Multivariate stepwise regression analysis revealed that monthly income status (P < 0.001), appropriate method of detecting COVID 19 (P < 0.001), occupational status (P < 0.001), medical mask prevent against COVID 19 (P < 0.001), eating or contacting wild animals (P < 0.001), isolation and treatment of people reduce risk (P < 0.001), isolation 14 days (P < 0.001), avoid going to crowded places such as train metro, bus, restaurants and shopping (P = 0.003), COVID 19 spreads via respiratory droplets (P = 0.004), afraid of travel (P = 0.026) were significantly associated with COVID 19 knowledge. Conclusions: The current study results revealed that the educational level and occupation especially sedentary are correlated positively with knowledge, attitude and practices. This finding is not surprising since higher education levels and professional status are associated with good KAP in most epidemic diseases including COVID 19. Nevertheless, the recent experience with COVID 19 has provided lessons on strategy and policy making.
