Abstract
Background: Delirium is a severe neuropsychiatric disorder with an acute onset. It can impact attention, behavior, memory, the sleep-wake cycle, and emotions. Several factors can lead to delirium, including old age and dementia. It is important to note that delirium has an impact not only on patients but also on their families and the healthcare system as a whole. This study was designed to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes toward delirium among the general population in the western region of Saudi Arabia.
Methods: An observational study was conducted using an electronic questionnaire, targeting residents in the western region of Saudi Arabia. Data were analyzed post-collection.
Results: A total of 735 participants were enrolled in this study, with a mean age of 31.5. Males made up 40.3% of the participants, while the rest were females (59.7%). Moreover, 55.8% of participants had a university degree. The results indicated a generally low level of knowledge among the study population (92%).
Conclusion: This study revealed an inadequate knowledge level regarding delirium. The need for increasing awareness of this issue was evident in this study.

Key words: Delirium, knowledge, attitude, General population, Saudi Arabia
