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.

This study aimed to assess HIV/AIDS-related knowledge, sources and perceived need among senior high school students in China. A total of 2668 senior high school students aged 15.17–23.42 years participated in the survey. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect information on HIV/sexually transmitted infection-related knowledge, sources and perceived information need. The results showed that levels of HIV/AIDS knowledge were distributed as follows: low for 6.8%, moderate for 29.6% and high for 63.7%. The most important information sources were, in rank order, TV/photographic recording (72.1%), school heath education curriculum (51.8%) and reading materials (45.7%). About half of the students, 46.3%, confirmed a need for more information and 87.8% of the sampled senior high school students communicated with others if he/she had problems related to HIV/AIDS. Strengthening and improving information sources, particularly its accuracy and comprehensiveness, would help in ensuring that adolescents obtained the HIV/AIDS health information they needed.

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. Kondisi tersebut bertolak belakang dengan kebutuhan guru PAUD di lapangan yang semakin besar. 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%.

Dilihat berdasarkan jurusan di SMA, siswa IPS memperoleh persentase minat sebesar 8,46% dan IPA 5,17%. Tiga faktor utama yang mungkin mempengaruhi kondisi tersebut diantaranya: persepsi siswa terhadap keterjaminan karier lulusan PGPAUD, pengaruh lingkungan siswa yang berada di wilayah perkotaan, dan kurangnya kontribusi Prodi PGPAUD FIP UPI di kalangan siswa SMA. Rekomendasi penelitian ini agar pemerintah membuat kebijakan yang tepat mengenai keterjaminan profesi guru PAUD dan bagi Prodi PGPAUD FIP UPI agar melaksanakan promosi dan sosialisasi.

Few studies have examined the long-term effects of peer-led HIV prevention in Chinese adolescents. A two-year follow-up study was conducted among senior high school students in a medium-sized city of Fujian Province, from 1 March 2006 to 30 April 2008. In all, 3068 students from 14 schools were invited in March 2006, and 893 students in five schools were followed up. Data were collected at baseline, right after intervention (one month later) and two years later by a self-administered questionnaire. In the intervention group, the average knowledge score including reproductive health and HIV/AIDS/sexually transmitted diseases rose from 4.30 to 7.06 one month later ( P < 0.01) and to 7.08 two years later ( P < 0.01). There was no significant difference between the average knowledge score after one month and two years ( P > 0.05). Sustained increases were found in the attitude scores towards people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWH) and intention of condom use after intervention. The study indicates that peer-led HIV prevention education succeeds in improving and sustaining HIV/AIDS-related knowledge and some behaviour intentions. Future research should focus on strategies to sustain long-term behaviour change.

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.
