ABSTRACT Background Cancer patients are at risk of post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) throughout their treatment journey due to serious challenges (e.g., complex surgical interventions, severe pain, and side effects from chemotherapy or radiation therapy). This may worsen patients’ health negatively impact overall well‐being. However, this area remains understudied in Algeria. Therefore, there is a need understand the levels PTSD symptoms associated factors among Algerian patients. To ensure accurate assessment diagnosis, validation study was conducted confirm that measurement instrument used culturally appropriate for context. The study’s main objectives were (i) determine prevalence cancer Algeria, (ii) validate Arabic DSM‐5 Checklist (PCL‐5) patients, (iii) explore associations between demographic clinical population. Methods present cross‐sectional comprised 370 All participants receiving oncology wards across various hospitals. completed PCL‐5. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) examine structure Results PCL‐5 found have four‐factor structure. Out participants, 154 (41.6%) had scores below cutoff 31, indicating lower symptoms; 216 (58.4%) above threshold, suggesting likelihood PTSD. Moreover, significantly with patients' low educational attainment more advanced stages disease. Conclusions findings indicated moderate high demonstrated good psychometric properties confirming it reliable valid tool assessing

In March 2022, a new outbreak of COVID-19 emerged in Quanzhou, leading to the implementation strict lockdown management measures colleges. While existing research has indicated that pandemic had significant impact on sleep quality, specific effects containment college students' patterns remain understudied. This study aimed understand quality students Fujian Province during epidemic and determine sensitive variables, order develop an efficient prediction model for early screening problems students. A cross-sectional survey was conducted April 5-16, 2022 Quanzhou. total 4959 Quanzhou were enrolled this study. Descriptive analysis, univariate correlation multiple regression analysis used explore influencing factors regarding quality. addition, we constructed eight risk models predict mean PSQI score 6.03 ± 3.21 disorder rate 29.4% (PSQI > 7) obtained. Sleep latency, efficiency, diurnal dysfunction, all higher than national norm (P < 0.05). predictors finally identified by LASSO algorithm incorporated into models. Through series assessments, artificial neural network as best model, achieving area under curve 73.8% accuracy 67.3%, precision 84.0%, recall 66.3%, F1 69.3%. These performance indices suggest ANN outperforms other It is noteworthy threshold probabilities net benefit found be between 0.81 0.92 clinical confirmed models' predictions particularly effective identifying individuals with poor when probability set above 70%. findings underscore potential utility our detection disorders. quarantine management, affected certain extent, their scores average China.
