Background: In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, monkeypox disease is receiving more attention. The monkeypox virus outbreak has posed a global concern, especially to older adults with comorbidities. Natural disasters, and endemic affect older persons\u2019 mental health. Design: A cross-sectional descriptive design was followed. Methods: 254 older adults were recruited from three outpatient clinics using consecutive sampling using four tools. Results: 74.0% of older study participants were unaware of monkeypox. Gender, level of education, residence, worry about contracting monkeypox infection, and mental distress are predictors of awareness about monkeypox ( p\u2009&lt;\u2009.001). Worry of contracting monkeypox infection was common among female participants ( p\u2009=\u2009.038), highly educated ( p\u2009=\u2009.001), who had a low level of awareness and high level of mental distress ( p\u2009=\u2009.001 for both). Conclusion: Awareness of monkeypox was associated with worry and mental distress. Gerontological nurses have a vital role in contacting older adults and providing care and education that decreases worry and preserves minds and feelings, improving their quality of life. Establishing a national strategic planning and crisis prevention framework to alleviate psychological distress and prevent mental health issues from deteriorating in this group is crucial.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/23337214241273292","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,20]],"date-time":"2024-08-20T06:27:26Z","timestamp":1724135246000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Monkeypox Emergence Post-COVID: Insight into Egyptian Older Adult\u2019s Awareness, Concern, and Mental Health"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2762-3350","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fatma Magdi","family":"Ibrahim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mansoura University, Mansoura City, Dakahlia, Egypt"},{"name":"RAK Medical and Health Sciences University, Al Qusaidat, Ras Al Khaimah, UAE"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Doaa Abd Elhameed","family":"Abd Elmawla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mansoura University, Mansoura City, Dakahlia, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Safaa Mabrouk Abdel Aziz","family":"Elgarhy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Damanhour University, Damanhour, Beheira Governorate, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ateya Megahed","family":"Ibrahim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University, Al-Kharj, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Port Said University, Port Fouad City, Port Said Governorate, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"DoaaE","family":"Fadila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mansoura University, Mansoura City, Dakahlia, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-23337214241273292","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21203\/rs.3.rs-1961934\/v2"},{"key":"bibr2-23337214241273292","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/vaccines10091408"},{"key":"bibr3-23337214241273292","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21608\/niles.2021.191208"},{"key":"bibr4-23337214241273292","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph191911929"},{"key":"bibr5-23337214241273292","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.maturitas.2022.07.018"},{"key":"bibr6-23337214241273292","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13548506.2021.1944655"},{"key":"bibr7-23337214241273292","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
