Conception of integrated high school students in Rio de Janeiro about character strengths and virtues / Concepción de estudiantes de secundaria integrada in Rio de Janeiro sobre fortalezas de carácter y virtudes / Conception high students strengths virtues Concepción estudiantes secundaria fortalezas virtudes

Abstract Strengths and virtues are defined as positive characteristics that have moral value. The objective of this research was to investigate the conception of the students of Integrated Technical High School on strengths and virtues, if there is a difference between the conception between female and male students, how they understand the role of strengths and virtues in the choice and performance of the future technical profession and if the perception of the concept differs from the literature. Participated 21 students, 10 girls and 11 boys from the first year of different courses from a Brazilian public educational institution. Two focus groups were held on different dates. The results showed that conceptions brought by the students are related to characteristics responsible for promoting personal and academic goals for current and future situations to their professional career. The data obtained can contribute to actions, expanding the possibilities of applying positive psychology in the school context as a resource favorable to learning and the development of strengths and virtues. Prospective research can investigate the impact of strengths and virtues with constructions related to the concept investigated in the present study with the use of instruments that can collaborate with qualitative data presented.

Resumen Las fortalezas y virtudes se definen como características positivas que tienen un valor moral.El objetivo fue indagar la concepción de los estudiantes de la Secundaria Técnica Integrada sobre las fortalezas y virtudes, si existe diferencia entre la concepción entre los estudiantes femeninos y masculinos, cómo entienden el papel de las fortalezas y virtudes en la elección y desempeño de las futura profesión técnica y si la percepción del concepto difiere de la literatura.

Estilos de crianza y conductas agresivas en estudiantes de secundaria del Centro Poblado Samán, 2023 / Parenting styles and aggressive behaviors in secondary school students of the Samán Population Center, 2023 / Estilos parentais e comportamentos agressivos em alunos do ensino médio do Centro Populacional Samán, 2023

Este estudio, tuvo como finalidad, determinar la relación entre Estilos de crianza y Conductas agresivas en Estudiantes de Secundaria del Centro Poblado Samán, 2023. Por tal manera, este estudio fue de tipo cuantitativo, diseño no experimental, corte transversal- correlacional. Además, se usaron para la recopilación de la información, los instrumentos de, Escala de Estilos de crianza de Steinberg, adaptado por Merino y Arndt y Cuestionario de Agresión de Buss y Perry, adaptado por Matalinares, Yaringaño, Uceda, Fernández, Huari Campos y Villavicencio. Para lo cual, la muestra de este estudio estuvo conformada por 160 alumnos de ambos sexos. Para el análisis de los datos se usó del programa Paquete Estadístico para las Ciencias Sociales, mediante ello, se obtuvo como resultado una relación significativa, moderada e inversa (Spearman =-0.638, significancia <0.05) entre las dos variables de estudio. Por tal sentido, a medida que el estilo de crianza baja, la tendencia a manifestar conductas agresivas aumenta. Basándose en los resultados, se concluye, la forma en cómo los progenitores interactúen con sus hijos, esto desarrollará su comportamiento. Por ello, en los sujetos que sus progenitores han desarrollado autonomía, interés en sus actividades, supervisión de la conducta y además emplean una comunicación empática en los reglamentos, habrá menor posibilidad de que estos presenten agresivas conductas. Al contrario, los individuos con poca supervisión, falta de atención por parte de sus padres, y la falta de asertividad de sus cuidadores, habrá mayor posibilidad de que estos expresen conductas agresivas.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between Parenting Styles and Aggressive Behaviors in High School Students of the Samán Population Center, 2023. Therefore, this study was quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional-correlational design. In addition, the Steinberg Parenting Styles Scale, adapted by Merino and Arndt, and the Buss and Perry Aggression Questionnaire, adapted by Matalinares, Yaringaño, Uceda, Fernández, Huari Campos and Villavicencio, were used to collect information. For this reason, the sample of this study was made up of 160 students of both sexes. To analyze the data, the Statistical Package for Social Sciences program was used, resulting in a significant, moderate and inverse relationship (Spearman =-0.638, significance <0.05) between the two study variables. Therefore, as the parenting style decreases, the tendency to manifest aggressive behaviors increases. Based on the results, it is concluded that the way parents interact with their children will develop their behavior. Therefore, in subjects whose parents have developed autonomy, interest in their activities, behavioral supervision and also use empathetic communication in regulations, there will be less possibility of them presenting aggressive behaviors. On the contrary, individuals with little supervision, lack of attention from their parents, and lack of assertiveness from their caregivers will be more likely to express aggressive behaviors.

O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a relação entre estilos parentais e comportamentos agressivos em estudantes do ensino médio do Centro Populacional Samán, 2023. Portanto, este estudo teve um desenho quantitativo, não experimental, transversal e correlacional. Além disso, foram utilizadas para coletar informações a Escala de Estilos Parentais de Steinberg, adaptada por Merino e Arndt, e o Questionário de Agressão de Buss e Perry, adaptado por Matalinares, Yaringaño, Uceda, Fernández, Huari Campos e Villavicencio. Por esse motivo, a amostra deste estudo foi composta por 160 estudantes de ambos os sexos. Para análise dos dados foi utilizado o programa Statistical Package for Social Sciences, resultando em relação significativa, moderada e inversa (Spearman =-0,638, significância <0,05) entre as duas variáveis do estudo. Portanto, à medida que o estilo parental diminui, aumenta a tendência para manifestar comportamentos agressivos. Com base nos resultados conclui-se que a forma como os pais interagem com os filhos irá desenvolver o seu comportamento. Portanto, em sujeitos cujos pais desenvolveram autonomia, interesse em suas atividades, supervisão comportamental e também utilizam comunicação empática nas regulamentações, haverá menor possibilidade de apresentarem comportamentos agressivos. Pelo contrário, indivíduos com pouca supervisão, falta de atenção dos pais e falta de assertividade dos cuidadores terão maior probabilidade de expressar comportamentos agressivos.

Percepção dos alunos do ensino médio em relação a uma proposta de ensino das lutas nas aulas de Educação Física / Perception of high school students in relation to a proposal for teaching martial arts in Physical Education classes / Percepción de estudiantes de secundaria en relación a una propuesta de enseñanza de lucha en las clases de Educación Física

O objetivo do estudo foi analisar a percepção dos alunos do Ensino Médio em relação às lutas enquanto unidade temática nas aulas de Educação Física. Para tanto, a pesquisa se caracterizou como de natureza aplicada, do tipo descritiva, com a participação de 17 alunos do Ensino Médio. A pesquisa foi realizada em dois momentos, sendo o primeiro referente ao desenvolvimento de uma intervenção pedagógica do conteúdo de lutas, e o segundo a partir da aplicação de um questionário. Os resultados apontaram que 82% dos participantes usufruíram de uma prática positiva e prazerosa e 94% dos participantes afirmaram ausência de violência. Assim, compreende-se que as lutas na escola se configuram como um mediador na transformação das apreciações de concepções pelos participantes (AU).

Knowledge regarding HIV/AIDS and its prevention among high school students of Anantnag district, Jammu and Kashmir, India: a pre-experimental study

Background: India has become one of the most populous country in the world, and it would be a disaster if our adolescent children fell into the trap of HIV/AIDS, which not only disrupts the healthcare system of any country but also has an impact on the morals of the people. Therefore, the main aim of the study was to understand the knowledge regarding HIV/AIDS and its prevention among high school children. Methods: This was a pre-experimental study in which 60 high school students participated. The knowledge was assessed using demographic characteristics and 30-item knowledge questionnaires. SPSS V16.0 was used for the data analysis. Paired t-test, descriptive statistics, and chi-square analysis were used to check the association. Results: In the study, the majority of the participants, 46 (76.66%), had inadequate knowledge, and only 14 (23.33%) had moderate knowledge regarding HIV/AIDS. The paired “t”-test value was 54.63 at the level of p<0.0001, which was significant. We also found multiple associations between gender, qualification of the mother, occupation of the mother, qualification of the father, occupation of the father, type of family, and source of information. Conclusions: It was observed that there was relatively less knowledge among high school students regarding HIV/AIDS and its prevention. However, after the teaching program, the knowledge improved. Therefore, a multi-dimensional approach should be taken by the school authority to create awareness campaigns for the students.

Práticas corporais e currículo: legitimação a partir da análise documental / Corporal practices and the curriculum: legitimization through document analysis / Prácticas corporales y currículo: legitimación basada en análisis documental

O estudo objetivou analisar o modo como os atos de currículo da Educação Física legitimam as práticas corporais no âmbito de 3 escolas de Ensino Médio de Simão Dias (SE) e as identidades projetadas. Para tanto, os respectivos projetos político-pedagógicos e planos de ensino do componente foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo. Notamos que as limitações dos espaços físicos condicionam a vivência de práticas corporais legitimadas na escola. Percebemos forte influência dos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais do Ensino Fundamental na organização do trabalho pedagógico e a vivência exaustiva dos esportes euro-estadunidenses. Fatores que parecem contribuir para a legitimação de determinadas práticas corporais em detrimento de outras tantas. O que também pode impactar nas identidades culturais e a forma com que os estudantes se relacionam com as diferentes manifestações.

The study aimed to analyze the way in which Physical Education curriculum acts legitimize bodily practices within 3 high schools in Simão Dias (SE) and the projected identities. To this end, the respective political-pedagogical projects and teaching plans for the component were subjected to content analysis. We note that the limitations of physical spaces condition the experience of legitimized bodily practices at school. We noticed a strong influence of the National Curricular Parameters for Elementary Education in the organization of pedagogical work and the exhaustive experience of Euro-American sports. Factors that seem to contribute to the legitimization of certain bodily practices to the detriment of many others. This can also impact cultural identities and the way students relate to different manifestations.

Observamos que las limitaciones de los espacios físicos condicionan la experiencia de prácticas corporales legitimadas en la escuela. Notamos una fuerte influencia de los Parámetros Curriculares Nacionales para la Educación Primaria en la organización del trabajo pedagógico y la experiencia exhaustiva del deporte euroamericano. Factores que parecen contribuir a la legitimación de determinadas prácticas corporales en detrimento de muchas otras. Esto también puede afectar las identidades culturales y la forma en que los estudiantes se relacionan con las diferentes manifestaciones.

Effects of a social norms intervention to reduce alcohol drinking behaviors in Argentinean adolescents

Alcohol-related social norms are internalized beliefs regarding the extension and approval of alcohol consumption by social reference groups. Prevention programs based on social norms and behavioral insights are empirical evidence-based approaches that challenge cognitive biases and promote healthy choices by providing actual information of targeted behaviors. These programs, to our knowledge, have not been applied to reduce alcohol use in Latin-America. Objectives: This study examined the effectiveness of a school-based social norms intervention to reduce alcohol use behaviors in high-school adolescents from Cordoba city (Argentina). Ninety-two students (Mean age = 14.18±0.82 years) participated. A 2 (type of school administration: public, private) x 2 (treatment: experimental, control) factorial design was employed. Data collections provided information on actual alcohol consumption, perceived alcohol consumption of classmates and discrepancies (i.e., biases) between both measures. Results: A brief feedback session, which was complemented with the placement of posters inside the classroom, reduced the prevalence and frequency of several alcohol drinking behaviors. These effects were more noticeable in the public than in the private schools. Conclusions: This is, to our knowledge, the first report of a program that applied a social norms strategy to reduce alcohol consumption in high schoolers from South America.

Las normas sociales relacionadas con el alcohol son creencias internalizadas con respecto a la extensión y aprobación del consumo de alcohol en grupos sociales de referencia. Los programas de prevención basados en normas sociales y percepciones conductuales desafían los sesgos cognitivos y promueven elecciones saludables al proporcionar información real sobre conductas específicas. Hasta donde sabemos, estos programas no se han aplicado en Sudamérica. Objetivos: Este estudio examinó la efectividad de una intervención de normas sociales para reducir las conductas de consumo de alcohol en estudiantes de una escuela media de la ciudad de Córdoba (Argentina). Participaron 92 estudiantes (edad media = 14,18 ± 0,82 años). Se empleó un diseño factorial 2 (tipo de administración escolar: pública, privada) x 2 (tratamiento: experimental, controlado). Se recolectó información sobre el consumo real y percibido de alcohol, y se detectaron discrepancias entre ambas medidas. Resultados: Breves sesiones de retroalimentación, complementadas con carteles dentro del aula, redujeron la prevalencia y la frecuencia del consumo de alcohol. Estos efectos fueron más notorios en las escuelas públicas. Conclusiones: Este es, hasta donde sabemos, el primer reporte de aplicación de una estrategia de normas sociales para reducir el consumo de alcohol en estudiantes Sudamericanos.

As normas sociais relacionadas ao álcool são crenças internalizadas sobre a extensão e a aprovação do consumo de álcool em grupos sociais de referência. Programas de prevenção baseados em normas sociais e percepções comportamentais desafiam vieses cognitivos e promovem escolhas saudáveis por meio de informações reais sobre comportamentos específicos. Até onde sabemos, esses programas não foram aplicados na América do Sul. Objetivos: este estudo examinou a eficácia de uma intervenção de normas sociais para reduzir comportamentos de consumo de álcool em estudantes do ensino médio na cidade de Córdoba (Argentina). Participaram 92 estudantes (M idade = 14,18 ± 0,82 anos). Foi utilizado um desenho fatorial 2 (tipo de administração escolar: pública, privada) x 2 (tratamento: experimental, controle). Foram coletadas informações sobre consumo real e percebido de álcool e detectaram-se discrepâncias entre as duas medidas. Resultados: Breves sessões de feedback, complementadas por cartazes em sala de aula, reduziram a prevalência e a frequência do consumo de álcool. Esses efeitos foram mais perceptíveis nas escolas públicas. Conclusões: Este é, até onde sabemos, o primeiro estudo sobre a aplicação de uma estratégia de normas sociais para reduzir o consumo de álcool em estudantes sul-americanos.

Reading processes of public and private middle school and high school students

Introduction Reading has been widely discussed, mainly due to the published results of international performance tests of schoolchildren. The gaps generated in literacy hinder the development of basic skills necessary for reading, which will have a negative impact on the teaching-learning process from elementary school to high school. This study aimed to compare the reading performance of the students in public and private schools through tests of the Brazilian reading processes-PROLEC-SE-R. Methods Cross-sectional study. The Brazilian adaptation of the PROLEC-SE-R was administered to 436 students: 221 from the state school (G1 6th year, n = 30; G2 7th year, n = 33; G3 8th year, n = 35; G4 9th year, n = 31; G5 1st year, n = 32; G6 2nd year, n = 30; G7 3rd year, n = 30) e 215 private schools (G8 6th year, n = 31; G9 7th year, n = 31; G10 8th year, n = 30; G11 9th year, n = 31; G12 1st year, n = 30; G13 2nd year, n = 31; G14 3rd year, n = 31). Tools of descriptive and bivariate analysis were used. Results Superior performance of the private school students on spelling tests helps their reading as evidenced by their scores for syntactic and semantic processes. When the knowledge of the use of the word in text, extraction of meaning and its understanding was needed, the difficulty of access to the mental lexicon of the studied population became evident. Conclusion The PROLEC-SE-R, in addition to establishing the reading profile of elementary and high school students, shows that the gaps in teaching and learning, which exist between public and private education in the literacy period, accompany students throughout the basic education cycle. Knowing the reading profile and in which process there is a disruption is important so that the teaching of specific strategies can be promoted throughout the entire schooling process, especially in primary and secondary education.

A study on prevalence and socio demographic factors associated with overweight and obesity among high school children of Raichur city

Background: Overweight/obesity among children is an emerging public health problem in our country. Overweight/obesity is a form of development-driven malnutrition that is emerging among all ages and socio-economic groups. Childhood overweight/obesity is a risk factor for later adult diseases and is associated with impaired health during childhood itself which may continue untreated for many years. The belief that overweight/obesity was the problem of developed countries alone is no longer true. India is one of the developing countries showing emerging and rising trends of overweight/obesity. Methods: A cross sectional study was undertaken in high schools of Raichur city. Data was collected by interviewing 1900 study subjects using pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire and by physical examination. The data was analyzed using percentages, proportions, odds ratio and Chi-square test with the help of Epi Info 7 software. Results: Prevalence of overweight and obesity among high school children of Raichur city was found to be 4.57% and 5.11% respectively. Significant association of overweight/obesity was found with gender, age, religion, socio-economic status, parent’s education, type of diet and physical exercise. Conclusions: Considering association of overweight/obesity with various risk factors, preventive measures like lifestyle modifications, changes in dietary pattern and regular exercise should be promoted in these age group children.

Hemofilia: Promoção da Saúde através de um Diálogo Interdisciplinar entre Saúde e Educação / Hemophilia: Health Promotion through an Interdisciplinary Dialogue between Health and Education

Identificar a percepção dos profissionais de instituições de ensino sobre a hemofilia, e diante disso formular estratégias de educação em saúde sobre o assunto. Trata-se de pesquisa quanti-qualitativa, analisados de forma descritiva através do Software MAXQDA versão 18.1.1, sob a estratégia de análise de conteúdo. Do total de 40 investigados na pesquisa, percebe-se que somente 11 conseguiram definir hemofilia, metade não sabiam sobre as formas de sangramento, 27 não sabiam as características de um sangramento e somente 10 referiam saber como agir frente a tal acontecimento, revelando desconhecimento dos profissionais de instituições de ensino sobre esta condição de saúde, que afirmam nunca terem sido capacitados para entendimento sobre a doença. Este trabalho promove um diálogo interdisciplinar entre saúde e educação sobre a hemofilia, no qual foi reconhecido a falta de conhecimento sobre o tema por profissionais de instituições de ensino e proposto estratégias de educação em saúde.

Association between alcohol dependence and overweight/obesity in high school students / 上海预防医学

ObjectiveTo analyze the association between alcohol dependence and overweight and obesity among high school students. MethodsThis study adopted stratified cluster sampling method. Four high schools （one vocational high school included） were selected as the research sites. We used self-designed questionnaires to investigate the drinking behavior of high school students. This study used propensity score matching method to control confounding factors （e.g gender， school type， etc.）. Then we compared the differences in drinking behavior between obese/overweight group and normal weight group after matching， and used a multivariate logistic regression model to analyze the relationship between drinking behavior and overweight and obesity. ResultsA total of 811 high school students participated in the survey. 60 people were excluded due to mild and moderate weight loss， and 751 people were normal or obese/overweight. After 1：1 propensity score matching， there were 217 people each in obese/overweight group and normal group. The characteristics of gender， school type， grade and family economic level of the two groups were balanced after matching. The difference was statistically significant （P<0.05） between obese/overweight and normal group in the following： drinking of alcohol at high school， alcohol dependence， the maximum drinks at one time， drinking of alcohol at family gatherings， whether bought alcohol for others， whether their family members recommended drinking， whether they have tried to quit drinking in the past year， and the time of blush after drinking. The multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the degree of alcohol dependence （the alcohol use disorder score ≥ 8） was a risk factor for overweight and obesity （OR=3.600， 95%CI： 1.244‒10.424）. Besides， having bought alcohol for others and family members advising alcohol consumption were suggested to be protective factors for overweight and obesity （OR=0.525， 95%CI： 0.309‒0.890 and OR=0.377， 95%CI： 0.222‒0.641）. ConclusionHigh school students who have alcohol dependence suffer a higher risk of obesity/overweight， while high school students who may have drinking behaviors but do not have alcohol dependence have a lower risk of obesity/overweight. It is critical to guide young people on drinking in terms of health.

Analysis on Hospice Care Cognition Status and Influencing Factors among High School Students in Guangzhou / 中国医学伦理学

【Objective:】 To investigate the cognition, attitude and influencing factors of hospice care among high school students in Guangzhou, and to provide basis for improving the understanding level of hospice care and death education among adolescents. 【Methods:】 A total of 226 questionnaires were collected by convenient sampling and questionnaire survey. The questionnaire covered two parts: basic information of the respondents, cognition and attitude towards hospice care (including four dimensions: basic knowledge of hospice care, knowledge of pain control, attitude and thought of hospice care, and attitude towards hospice care education). Excel software was used to preliminary screen, preprocess and establish database of data. SPSS21.0 was used for statistical analysis. T-test and ANOVA were used for difference analysis, multiple linear regression was used for correlation analysis. 【Results:】 High school students had a basic understanding of hospice care. Among the four dimensions of basic knowledge of hospice care, knowledge of pain control, attitude and thought of hospice care, and attitude towards hospice care education, the cognition of "knowledge of pain control" dimension was the weakest link, and the entry of "attitude and thought of hospice care" had the highest score, which was the strong cognitive link. 【Conclusion:】 The main influencing factors of high school students’ cognition of hospice care were family structure, family residence and whether they have understood hospice care. This paper recommended that schools should add medical humanities education courses related to hospice and death education, and cooperate with hospice care centers to carry out hospice care experience practices. It was also suggested that relevant departments or organizations should make full use of mainstream media, such as online media and WeChat public accounts, to strengthen the popularity and popularization of hospice care education and science popularization from multiple channels and aspects, and improve the level and quality of hospice care education for young people.

A cross-sectional study on the prevalence and severity of suicidal ideations and behaviors of senior high school students using the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)

Objectives@#In the light of increased suicide risk among adolescents, this research aimed at determining the prevalence and severity of suicidal ideations and behaviors of senior high school students in a public secondary school in Metro Manila using the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS).@*Methodology@#This is a descriptive cross-sectional school-based study, conducted on 236 senior high school students, 18 years old and above, in San Juan National High School (SJNHS) in San Juan, Metro Manila. The study employed convenience sampling. Upon selection, the C-SSRS was administered. Data on four constructs of suicide were gathered: 1) suicidal ideation severity; 2) intensity, which was quantified in terms of frequency, duration, control, deterrents and reasons for suicidal ideation; 3) suicidal behavior rated on a nominal subscale as actual, aborted, interrupted, preparatory behavior and non-suicidal injurious behavior; and lastly 4) lethality of actual suicide attempts on a 6-point ordinal scale, and if actual lethality was zero, potential lethality was further rated on a 3-point ordinal scale.@*Results@#The majority (67.8%) had mild suicidal ideations; 37.71% had active suicidal ideations with intent but not necessarily a specific plan and only 13.98% had active suicidal ideation with intent to act and a specific plan. The intensity of suicidal ideation was not that frequent in 35.59% of the respondents i.e.18.64% 1x/ week and 16.95% less than 1x/ week. About a third (30.07%) had very short duration of suicidal ideations i.e. fleetingly (19.92%) or less than an hour/ day (11.02%). A third (32.62%) were able to easily control (18.64%) or control with minimal difficulty (13.98%). Reason for suicidal ideation were either to get attention (10.59%) or to end the emotional pain (11.02%). A third (30.93%) had actual attempts (15.25%) and Non -Suicidal Self Injury (NSSI) (15.68%); while another 35.06 % had interrupted (16.53%) or aborted (19.07%) attempts. Those who had actual attempts, 41.67% had no physical injury while 50 % incurred minor injuries. Thirty- two (88.89%) had suicidal attempt that was likely to result in injury but not likely to cause death.@*Conclusion@#In light of these relatively high prevalence rates for suicidal ideation and behaviors, schoolwide intervention on education or awareness programs, gatekeeper training, peer leadership, skills training and screening or assessment may have to be instituted to curb the increased suicide risk of the senior high school students and further prevent suicide attempts.

Exploring physical and functional factors associated with lateral ankle sprains in junior high school basketball players / 体力科学

Lateral ankle sprain (LAS) is one of the most common sport-related injuries among basketball players. Most basketball players experience a first LAS particularly in junior high school. Thus, it is crucial to develop effective prevention strategies for LAS in junior high school populations. However, the characteristics for first-time LAS are not clear. This study aimed to compare the physical and functional characteristics of junior high school basketball players with and without a history of LAS. Two hundred and thirty-eight junior high school basketball players (128 boys and 110 girls) volunteered for this study. We asked participants to complete a self-reported injury history questionnaire. We also assessed physical functions, including range of motion, muscular strength, dynamic balance, and performance. The prevalence of LAS was 75.6% (boys: 73.4%, girls: 78.2%). Boys with a history of LAS had significantly higher height, body mass, and BMI compared to those without a history of LAS (p<0.05). Girls with a history of LAS had significantly lower scores on the star excursion balance test in the anterior reaching direction compared with the control group (p=0.015). Various measures of physical function were associated with LAS, but these associations were different between boys’ and girls’ basketball players. These findings from this study indicate that clinicians should identify sex-specific impairments associated with LAS when designing targeted intervention programs.
