Covid-19 is an acute respiratory disease caused by Coronavirus Sars-Cov-2. Declared recently as pandemic disease, Covid-19 has affected educational systems worldwide. Many countries around the world have closed educational institutions to reduce the spread of this pandemic. Hence, Education in high schools is facing unprecedented challenges. This paper reflects on the role of mobile learning as remote teaching strategies sustaining student-centered learning. The use of mobile learning allows learning anytime, anyplace, and anywhere. Mobile Learning is an unavoidable alternative during COVID-19.

Purpose: Distance learning describes any learning based on the use of new multimedia technologies and the internet to allow students to acquire new knowledge and skills at a distance. This study aimed to determine satisfaction levels with distance learning and associated factors among nursing and health technician students during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic in Morocco.Methods: An descriptive study was conducted between April and June 2022 among nursing and health technician students using a self-administered instrument. The student satisfaction questionnaire consists of 24 questions categorized into 6 subscales: instructor, technology, course setup, interaction, outcomes, and overall satisfaction. It was based on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with student satisfaction during distance learning.Results: A total of 330 students participated in this study, and 176 students (53.3%) were satisfied with the distance learning activities. A mean score higher than 2.8 out of 5 was obtained for all subscales. Multiple regression analysis showed that students’ year of study (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 2.34; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.28–4.27) and internet quality (aOR, 0.47; 95% CI, 0.29–0.77) were the significant factors associated with students’ satisfaction during distance learning.Conclusion: This study highlights the satisfaction level of students and factors that influenced it during distance learning. A thorough understanding of student satisfaction with digital environments will contribute to the successful implementation of distance learning devices in nursing.

SUMMARY: COVID‐19 is one of the worst outbreaks in infectious disease history. Through a succession of significant preventative and control interventions, Morocco has accumulated pandemic control experience. This study examines the available evidence on lessons learnt from the COVID‐19 pandemic management experience in Morocco. Social lockdown measures have helped restrain the exponential spread of new cases. These interventions appear to be reasonably successful. Their effectiveness must be confirmed by an assessment of other factors. This experience can help all countries develop effective pandemic prevention and control measures.

Introduction: For patients in intensive care units, the Richards–Campbell Sleep Questionnaire (RCSQ) seems to be a useful tool for assessing sleep quality. However, its application in the Moroccan medical context could be limited due to the lack of a dialectal Arabic version for Morocco. This study’s objective was to translate and validate the RCSQ into Arabic for Moroccan speakers. Patients and methods: For this investigation, a cross-sectional design was adopted. The RCSQ was translated and validated into Arabic for Morocco in accordance with the recommendations. For every scale, psychometric properties were computed. The Cronbach’s α coefficient was utilized to evaluate the internal consistency of multi-item measures. Results: The study involved 224 patients, whose mean age was 47 ± 18.3 years. The RCSQ’s internal consistency, or Cronbach’s alpha, was computed, and all dimensions showed good reliability over the 0.92 (0.894–0.983) level. The items demonstrated good reliability and validity, with correlation values larger than 0.4, according to the data. Conclusion: The RCSQ translated into Arabic for Morocco appears to have good psychometric qualities, making it useful for assessing the quality of sleep of patients in intensive care units within Moroccan healthcare settings.

In March 2020, the WHO declared COVID-19 as a pandemic. At present, the curative vaccine has not yet been developed, older age and higher comorbidity levels are associated with more severe COVID-19 symptoms. Indeed, the cancer community currently faces many difficult questions.
