This study compares the perception of spirituality among individuals with different health statuses. It also describes the spiritual services and religious support in the healthcare system that are recommended by the community. A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted in Riyadh during the year 2021. A face-to-face questionnaire was used to obtain data from seriously ill inpatients (N = 132), chronically ill outpatients (N = 202), and healthy individuals (N = 283), which is an assessment tool designed by the investigators to meet the purpose of the study. This study was conducted in two tertiary hospitals and in the community. Participants were randomly selected using a stratified random sampling technique. The study was performed on 635 participants. A significant number of the participants agreed that the provision of spiritual services has a positive effect on patient condition. The rural population had a higher mean value on limiting the concept of spirituality to religious aspects. There is a clear tendency from all categories toward religious services. The majority of the participants support the provision of psychological services, especially if it is provided by specialized and expert spiritual care providers. The positive perception of participants about spiritual care has been reflected on the tendency toward providing spiritual services. The provision of spiritual care in healthcare systems is expected to be a necessity and not a luxury.

Background/Objectives: Population health management (PHM) emphasizes prevention, coordinated care, and population-level approaches to improving health outcomes. However, patient familiarity with PHM terminology and attitudes toward PHM-aligned principles remain underexplored in primary care settings. This study assessed familiarity with the term PHM, attitudes toward PHM-aligned principles, and participation in preventive health programs among adult primary care attendees in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and examined their associations with health literacy, patient activation, and sociodemographic characteristics. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among adult attendees of primary care outpatient clinics at King Saud University Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between 1 October and 1 December 2025. Participants completed a self-administered Arabic questionnaire that included PHM awareness items, Questionnaire Assessing Population Health Management-Aligned Principles (PHM-Q), a study-developed 7-item instrument assessing agreement with PHM-aligned principles, the HLS-Q12, and the PAM-13. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, Mann–Whitney U tests, Kruskal–Wallis tests, Spearman correlation analyses, and internal consistency assessment were used. Results: A total of 286 participants were included. Familiarity with the term PHM was limited, with 24.8% reporting prior exposure. Participation in preventive health programs was also limited, as only 17.5% of participants reported having participated. In contrast, agreement with PHM-aligned principles was generally favorable (PHM-Q mean 3.86, SD 0.57). PHM-Q scores correlated positively with health literacy (ρ = 0.548, p < 0.001) and patient activation (ρ = 0.433, p < 0.001). Participation in preventive health programs was significantly associated with higher health literacy and higher patient activation. Conclusions: These findings should be interpreted as reflecting favorable attitudes toward PHM-aligned principles within this sample rather than formal PHM literacy, operational understanding, or readiness for PHM implementation. Because the study-developed questionnaire was exploratory and not psychometrically validated beyond internal consistency, the results should be understood as descriptive and hypothesis-generating.

Sarcoma awareness among healthcare practitioners in our institution was limited, prompting an evaluation of their ability to recognize early presentations and initiate appropriate work-up for soft tissue and bone sarcomas. A structured survey assessed familiarity with key clinical features, recommended investigations, and perceived contributors to diagnostic delay. Overall awareness was modest, but higher among healthcare practitioners with prior sarcoma exposure, oncology-focused training, longer experience, or heavier patient loads; female practitioners and oncology nurses also scored higher. Confidence in identifying red-flag symptoms was strongly linked to familiarity with guideline-based practice. Despite these strengths, notable gaps persisted across specialties and training levels, indicating that exposure alone is insufficient. Targeted education, improved recognition of early warning signs, and clearer referral pathways are needed to reduce diagnostic delays and support timely management of suspected sarcomas.
