Background: Despite the crucial role of nursing students in managing public health crises, their understanding and attitudes towards monkeypox (mpox) remain underexplored. This study aims to assess nursing students' knowledge, attitudes, anxiety levels, and perceived need for mental healthcare support related to mpox across the UAE, Iraq, and Egypt. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 1,386 nursing students from three universities using non-probability purposive sampling. Participants completed a structured questionnaire covering sociodemographic information, knowledge of mpox, attitudes towards the disease, levels of anxiety, and perceived mental healthcare needs. Knowledge was categorized into poor, fair, and good, attitudes into negative, neutral, and positive, and anxiety into low, moderate, and high levels. Data were analysed for correlations using Pearson's correlation coefficient and statistical tests. We performed multivariate regression analysis to find odd ratios of assessed parameters against several sociodemographic variables. Results: Among the participants, 21.8% demonstrated good knowledge of mpox, while 53.4% had moderate or fair knowledge and 24.8% had poor knowledge. Attitudes were predominantly neutral (44.7%) or negative (36%), and 57.2% reported moderate anxiety. Approximately 33% of students felt a significant need for mental healthcare support. Knowledge correlated positively with attitudes and negatively with anxiety and perceived mental healthcare needs. Attitudes also negatively correlated with perceived mental healthcare needs. Conclusion: The neutral or negative attitudes towards mpox suggest a need for enhanced educational interventions. Addressing these gaps through targeted training programs could improve knowledge, foster positive attitudes, and mitigate anxiety, thereby better preparing future healthcare professionals for emerging health threats.

Abstract
Background: According to ecosystem theory, parents shape their children's personalities and social development via their education, and the family environment is essential for a person's early development. The ways in which parents raise their children anticipate the ways in which their children will identify and express themselves. When parents provide their children with the necessary care and support in a growing environment, the children typically exhibit more confidence in their skills to confront problems. Aim of the study was to identify the relationship between parents‘ rearing styles and their effect on social problem-solving skills among secondary school students. Research design: A quantitative relational model was employed in this study. Sampling: Stratified random sampling approach was utilized in the study. 459 students and 459 parents (either parents of each students) mad up the sample. Tool: Parents‘ Rearing styles scale and Social Problem-Solving Inventory Revised were the instruments utilized for the study. Results: Indicated a significant positive relation between parents‘ rearing styles and problem-solving aspects. Conclusion: Students' problem-solving abilities were significantly predicted by their rearing styles. Recommendation: A training program that will act as a parent training intervention is necessary in order to provide the parents with the styles they need to support their children's accomplishments and accept them. Keywords: Rearing Styles & Social Problem-solving Skills.
