  • Peak prevalence reached 76.9% in Kuwait and 75% in Saudi Arabia, with lack of personal protective equipment and prolonged working hours driving heightened risk.
  • Systematic review following PRISMA guidelines across 50 international studies highlights the necessity of tailored workplace interventions during emergency responses.
