ObjectiveTo investigate the interval from menarche to the onset of premenstrual symptoms and its relationship with menarche age.DesignCross-sectional school-based survey.SettingUrban areas of Sendai, the largest city in northeastern Japan.Participants1422 female Japanese 10th–12th grade senior high school students participated in the survey.Main outcome measuresThe time of awareness of premenstrual symptoms, and the interval from menarche to the onset of premenstrual symptoms.Results1290 students had menstruation and completed the whole survey. The median age at menarche was 12 years (IQR: 11–13 years). The prevalence of self-reported premenstrual symptoms was 49%. The median age at which students became aware of premenstrual symptoms was 15 years (IQR: 14–16 years). The median time from the onset of menarche to awareness of premenstrual symptoms was 2 years. This time was negatively correlated with menarche age (ρ=−0.47, p<0.001). A Cox proportional hazards regression analysis revealed that early menarche was significantly associated with a lower cumulative risk of developing premenstrual symptoms (OR: 0.73 (95% CI 0.58 to 0.91)).ConclusionsHigh school students in Japan began experiencing premenstrual symptoms at around 15 years old, and within 2 years of menarche. This study suggested that social factors other than hormonal factors, such as early menarche, might be associated with the onset of premenstrual symptoms.

Hiv Aids

Objectives: An estimated 1.8 million individuals worldwide became newly infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in 2016, which amounts to 5,000 new infections per day. This includes 160,000 children. The HIV epidemic not only affects the health of individuals but also impacts households, communities, and the development and economic growth of nations [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>]. The prevention and control of HIV infection and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) are recognized as a national priority in Kuwait. This study assesses the knowledge, awareness, and attitudes about HIV/AIDS among senior high school students in Kuwait. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a convenience sample of 346 students in 8 randomly selected high schools in 3 governorates of Kuwait, using a questionnaire designed to measure the student’s knowledge and attitude towards HIV/AIDS. The survey questionnaire was administered to the students in their classrooms. Results: This study revealed that the students were knowledgeable with regard to the nature and mode of transmission of HIV/AIDS, but they needed a more detailed understanding of the disease to prevent stigmatization and discrimination of an infected person. Conclusion: This study provides a benchmark for further elaborate studies in the community to develop appropriate health education and awareness programs.

Abstrac : The Interest of Twelfth Grade Senior High School Students in Sukasari District Bandung City in the Undergraduate Study Program of PGPAUD FIP UPI.The research is prompted by the phenomenon of the low number of students interested in the Study Program of PGPAUD, more specifically the study program of PGPAUD FIP UPI. The low interest is contradictory to the greatly increasing demands for early childhood education teachers in the field. Therefore, the research aims to find the profile of data on the interest of twelfth grade senior high school students in Sukasari District, Bandung City, in the undergraduate study program of PGPAUD FIP UPI, as examined from school status, gender, and specialization. The method employed was cross sectional survey. The population of this research was as many as 681 twelfth grade senior high school students from all over Sukasari District for the school year of 2014-2015, and with disproportional stratified sampling, 246 students were taken as the sample. The data were collected by means of close-ended questionnaires that were then analyzed using descriptive statistic. The results show that 6.50% of the students in the District were interested in the Study Program of PGPAUD FIP UPI. In terms of school status, the percentages for private and state senior high school students interested in this study program were 7.77% and 5.60%, respectively. As regards gender, the percentages of female and male students interested in this study program were 8.87% and 4.92%, respectively. With regard to specialization in senior high school, the percentages of social sciences and natural sciences students interested in the study program were 46% and 5.17%, respectively. There are possibly three key aspects affecting this phenomenon, among others are students’ perception of guaranteed future career for PGPAUD graduates, the influence of urban life on students, and the lack of contribution from the Study Program of PGPAUD FIP UPI to senior high school students. The research recommends that the government make appropriate policies concerning certainty of employment for early childhood education teachers and the study program of PGPAUD FIP UPI carry out promotional and extension programs.Abstrak : Minat Siswa SMA Kelas XII Kecamatan Sukasari Kota Bandung terhadap Program Studi S1 PGPAUD FIP UPI. Penelitian ini dilakukan berdasarkan fenomena rendahnya jumlah peminat Program Studi PGPAUD, khususnya Program Studi PGPAUD FIP UPI.

Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memperoleh data profil minat siswa SMA Kelas XII Kecamatan Sukasari Kota Bandung terhadap program Studi S1 PGPAUD FIP UPI yang juga ditelaah berdasarkan status sekolah, jenis kelamin, dan jurusan di SMA. Metode yang digunakan adalah  survei cross sectional. Populasi penelitian ini merupakan seluruh siswa SMA Kelas XII se-Kecamatan Sukasari tahun ajaran 2014-2015 yang berjumlah 681, sedangkan sampel berjumlah 246 siswa dengan teknik disproportional stratified sampling. Alat pengumpulan data penelitian ini menggunakan angket tertutup yang kemudian dianalisis dengan statistika deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 6,50% siswa di kecamatan tersebut yang berminat terhadap program studi PGPAUD FIP UPI. Dilihat berdasarkan status sekolah, siswa SMA Swasta yang berminat terhadap program studi ini sebesar 7,77% dan SMA Negeri 5,60%.

Introduction: Gastritis is an inflamed gastric mucosa that can occur in a short, monthly, or even a year. Theincidence of gastritis in senior high school students were currently the second highest disease under ISPA. Thecondition of gastritis will indirectly disrupt the learning process and can affect the concentration of learning fromsenior high school students. The most influential determinant factors are behavior and environment. Aim of study:This study was to analyze the determinants of the incidence of gastritis in senior high school students. Method: Thedesign used in this study was observational analytic with cross sectional design. Samples of 148 senior high schoolstudents were selected using the stratified simple random sampling method. The research instrument used aquestionnaire that was distributed directly to selected samples with a nominal data scale. The data obtained werecarried out by the Lambda hypothesis test and logistic regression. Results and Discussion: The results showed thatthe determinants of behavior and environment had a weak influence (r = 0.348) on the incidence of gastritis in highschool students. The logistic regression test results showed that the determinant of behavior has an OR = 5.2 withan influential breakfast habit factor and an environmental factor having an OR = 4.4 with a study load factor thatgives an influence. Conclusion: The conclusion that can be drawn was that the behavioral factors, especially thehabit of not eating breakfast and environmental factors, are related to the burden of studies that affect senior highschool students causing gastritis. These two factors can basically be controlled by increasing promotive efforts forstudents at the senior high school so that gastritis cases can be prevented.

Abstract Objectives Self-efficacy is the belief a person has regarding his success in completing a task. A high level of self-efficacy can affect one’s thoughts and motivation to complete tasks well. Conversely, someone with low self-efficacy has a tendency to avoid difficult tasks. Self-efficacy can play a role in success in the future. This study aimed to develop a self-efficacy model for junior and senior high school students based on religious and family determinants. Method This study used a cross-sectional design and simple sampling technique. The calculation result involved 158 samples. The independent variables were religious and family determinants. The dependent variable was self-efficacy. The data were collected using a questionnaire that was tested for validity and reliability. The analysis used a multiple linear regression test with a significance level of α ≤ 0.05. Results The results showed self-efficacy was effectively determined by religion, communication, bonding and parenting factors. Overall, religion had the greatest role in influencing self-efficacy. Bonding and communication had an indirect effect on self-efficacy through parenting factors mediators. Conclusion Parenting factors influence self-efficacy indirectly through bonding and communication; however, parenting factors cannot be ignored. Religion was the biggest determinant of self-efficacy and capital of good self-control and strong conviction in completing tasks and achieving goals.

Abstract Background: Planning food and nutrition literacy (FNL) promoting interventions require a better understanding of the FNL status of the target group and its correlates. Aims: This study aimed to examine the FNL status and its determinants in Iranian senior high-school students. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, socioeconomic, demographic, anthropometric measures, as well as academic performance of 626 senior high-school students were assessed. Besides, FNL and its six components (food and nutrition knowledge, functional skills, interactive skills, advocacy, critical analysis of information, and food label reading skill) were evaluated by a locally designed and validated, self-administered questionnaire.Results: The mean ± SD of the total FNL score was 52.1 ± 10.96, which is below the minimum adequate level of 60. The probability of high FNL knowledge score was significantly higher among students who majored in Natural Sciences (OR = 1.73, CI = 1.09-2.75), had better school performance (OR = 1.13, CI = 1.06-1.20) and higher SES score (OR = 1.20, CI = 1.01-1.44). The probability of higher score in food label reading skill was significantly lower in girls (OR=0.45, CI=0.31-0.67). Those who had a family member with the nutrition-related disease were more likely to have a higher score of food label reading skill (OR = 1.48, CI=1.01-1.64). Conclusion: The level of FNL in senior high-school students in Tehran was relatively low. These findings have key messages for the education system and curriculum designers to have more consideration in promoting food and nutrition-related knowledge and skills in schools.
