The nine-year ongoing conflict in Yemen accumulated humanitarian crisis, and severely struggling healthcare system. In the current review, we are trying here to elucidate the many perspective areas where the conflict in Yemen has made it harder to access medical care, emphasizing how the war has negatively affected medical infrastructure, caused a severe shortage of medical supplies, and obstructed access to or the ability to receive medical services. We conducted a comprehensive search across reports from in-ground working organizations like UN, MSF, ICRC, and official authorial channels, including local organizations as well to illustrate how the conflict-induced challenges have drastically limited access to essential services, as well as literature repositories (PubMed MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science). Then, data were thematically presented. Our data suggest urgent and thoughtful long-term solutions, including the need of economic support, reconstructing healthcare infrastructure through coordinated efforts, and setting up safe supply lines to ensure a steady flow of medical resources particularly in intensive war zones where mobile clinics could serve as an alternative. Additionally, we highlight the importance of supporting and incentivizing the healthcare workforce to prevent further depletion through training programs that include professional and practical skills and ensuring safe transport to and from medical facilities for both patients and healthcare personnel. Moreover, we recommend implementing targeted programs to improve access to quality healthcare for disproportionately affected populations, guaranteeing access to medical treatment as a right and not a privilege, and most significantly, ensuring that the medical facilities are not targeted. Therefore, these focused recommendations aim to guide policymakers, international donors, and on-ground NGOs in restoring healthcare access and improving the quality of life for millions of Yemenis.

The impact of positive psychological traits (mindfulness, gratitude, optimism, and hope) on psychological well-being has been studied well. However, the contributions of positive coping strategies and life stressors in these associations still need to be examined. This study investigated the mediating roles of positive coping strategies and life stressors among the associations of mindfulness, gratitude, optimism, and hope on psychological well-being. 1766 Chinese college students of Shandong Xiehe University were recruited to complete the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), the Gratitude Questionnaire (GQ-6), the Optimism Scale (OS), the Adult Hope Scale (AHS), the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ), the Student-Life Stress Inventory (SLSI), and the Global Well-being Scale (GWB). The study revealed that positive coping strategies and life stressors partially mediated the associations of mindfulness, gratitude, optimism, and hope on psychological well-being. The results support the critical roles that positive coping strategies and life stressors play in positive psychological traits' impacts. This study may contribute to understanding the possible mechanism behind the link between positive psychological traits (mindfulness, gratitude, optimism, and hope) and psychological well-being through their interplay with positive coping strategies and life stressors.

Previous research indicates that mindfulness is associated with lower levels of addictive behaviors, including problematic smartphone use. However, the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain insufficiently explored. Self-regulated learning has been identified as a process that may partially account for this association, while digital detox practices may be associated with stronger self-regulation. Yet, these factors have rarely been examined together within a single model of problematic smartphone use. This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of self-regulated learning and the moderating role of digital detox in the relationship between mindfulness and problematic smartphone use among 1,241 Chinese college students from Shandong Xiehe University. Participants completed the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), the Problematic Smartphone Use Scale (PSU), the Self-Regulation of Learning Self-Report Scale (SRL-SRS), and the Digital Detoxification Scale (DDS). The results showed that mindfulness was negatively associated with problematic smartphone use, and self-regulated learning partially mediated this association. Further analysis indicated a significant interaction between digital detox and self-regulated learning in relation to problematic smartphone use. These results are consistent with a complex pattern in which mindfulness is linked to lower problematic smartphone use partly via self-regulated learning, with digital detox associated with a stronger negative association between self-regulated learning and problematic smartphone use. Given the cross-sectional design, these findings should be interpreted as associations rather than causal effects. This study contributes to clarifying the mechanisms underlying the association between mindfulness and problematic smartphone use, highlighting the relevance of promoting self-regulated learning and digital detox strategies.

Mindfulness occurs in different populations, regardless of their religions, ages, and cultures, but the studies on Muslim backgrounds are insufficient. This study aims to empirically investigate mindfulness's benefits on academic outcomes among Yemeni students. A total of 160 Yemeni students were recruited to complete the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI-SS) and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and divided into two groups (experimental group = 80, control group = 80). The experimental group received mindfulness training, while the control group did not receive any training. After the experiment, both groups completed the questionnaires again. The results revealed that the experimental group's emotional exhaustion, cynicism, lack of academic efficacy, and perceived stress were decreased compared to the control group. We concluded that mindfulness meditation training decreased academic burnout and stress among Yemeni students. We suggest mindfulness meditation training could be a good program for decreasing academic problems among Muslim students.

Research indicates that mindfulness is related to mental health (anxiety, depression, and general health) and well-being. However, its impact on individuals who have the Dark Triad (DT) personality remains unclear. We examined the relationship between the DT constructs (narcissism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism), mental health, and subjective well-being with mindfulness as the moderator variable. A total of 764 (Atheist=412; Muslims=352) university students were recruited to complete the Dark Triad personality scale (DM), Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), Trait Anxiety scale (STAI), General Health Questionnaire (GHQ), and Subjective Well-Being scale (SWB). Pearson's correlations and PROCESS macro were used to evaluate associations between these variables and whether mindfulness moderated the associations between DT constructs, mental health, and subjective well-being. The results revealed that DT statistically significant predictor of mental health but only in low mindfulness levels. While two DT constructs, narcissism and Machiavellianism, significantly predict subjective well-being only for participants with high mindfulness levels.
