There was a low dispersion in the responses about proactive, reactive, development of talents, growth mindset, metacognition, and self-authorship in private hospitals in Libya and Yemen. Generally, it turns out that the reality of the study sample's point of view was low. The coefficient of determination R²showed its value of changes in a growth mindset in private hospitals in Libya & Yemen is due to the change in CSK.</span></span></span></span><br> <span style=font-size:10pt><span style=unicode-bidi:embed><span new= roman= style=font-family: times=><b><span cambria= style=font-family:>Conclusion: </span></b><span cambria= style=font-family:>Results indicated a lack of understanding of cyber threats and recommended mitigations and uncertainty regarding applicable legislation governing electronic patient information; also, the level of CSK & PG in the studied hospitals was low.
