Analysis of environmental factors effect on cognitive performance and stress level in elementary school students

Various problems in elementary school students in high grades that arise due to environmental factors or peers, one of which is the lack of concentration of students when learning takes place which can cause various factors.The purpose of this study was (1) to get an overview of the level of concentration of children during learning (2) to obtain clear or detailed information about the factors that cause children to lack concentration while learning (3) to determine the causes and effects that will occur in children lack of concentration in studyingIn this study, researchers used a descriptive method. Quantitative methods can be interpreted as research methods based on positivism philosophy, data collection using research instruments, quantitative data analysis in order to test predetermined hypotheses.

This study aims to analyze the influence of physical environmental factors (clean water facilities, latrine conditions, SPAL conditions, type of house floor, household waste management), economic factors (family income) and social environmental factors (nail hygiene, use of footwear, washing habits hands with soap, bowel habits) against helminthiasis in elementary school students in Seberang Tembilahan Village, Indragiri Hilir Regency. The research location was conducted in Seberang Tembilahan Sub-District, Indragiri Hilir Regency in January to February 2020. The study used a survey method. The analytical method used is univariate analysis, bivariate analysis with Chi Square (Fisher) and multivariate analysis with logistic regression. The results of the study of 72 elementary school students in 4 elementary schools who were examined by laboratory feces, found positive results of worm infestation of 23.61% or 17 students. The final results of the model test showed that although the clean water facilities and toilet conditions were not significant, the two variables influenced each other, it was possible that there was an interaction between the two variables in influencing the incidence of helminthiasis in elementary school students. The variable that most affected the incidence of helminthiasis in elementary school students was the latrine condition with adjusted OR of 4.01 so that respondents whose conditions did not meet the requirements were 4.01 times more likely to experience helminthiasis compared to conditions that were eligible after being controlled by other variables. Simultaneously the two variables (clean water facilities and latrine conditions) can explain the variation of helminthiasis in elementary students by 9.9%.

Study Results

Previous studies on the walking environment of elementary school students have focused on physical factors such as traffic accidents, safety, and the neighborhood environment. However, scholars have yet to consider the behavioral characteristics of elementary school students, particularly in respect to the relationship between environmental factors and behavioral characteristics in pedestrian route selection and safety. Addressing this gap, this study identifies how neighborhood environment factors and behavioral characteristics impact route selection and satisfaction among elementary school students. Accordingly, this study surveyed 251 elementary school students at three elementary schools in Korea and analyzed the spatial forms of the selected sites. In doing so, this study discerns students’ satisfaction with their selection of the shortest or non-shortest route and which environmental factors and behavioral characteristics influenced their selection and satisfaction. Study results have practical implications for policymaking, including valuable insights into the planning of school routes for elementary school students.
