Abstract Background A healthy and productive health workforce is central to a well-functioning health system. However, health workers are at high risk of poor psychological wellbeing due to their particularly strenuous work demands. While mental health of health workers is a well-researched issue in high-income countries, research from low- and lower-middle-income countries (LLMIC) has begun to emerge only recently. The review aims to synthesize this body of research, specifically to assess the prevalence of mental health issues among health workers in LLMIC, to identify factors associated with good or poor mental health, and to highlight gaps in knowledge. Methods We will perform a systematic search of the published English and French language literature (from inception onwards) in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PsycINFO. Eligible for inclusion are observational studies (e.g., cross-sectional, case-control, or cohort) and control arms of randomized controlled trials reporting investigations on the nature, prevalence, and factors associated with mental health or psychological wellbeing among formally trained health professionals and health associate professionals delivering health services in formal healthcare facilities in LLMIC. The primary outcomes will be burnout, depression, and general psychological wellbeing. Secondary outcomes include other specific mental health diagnoses, as well as general psychological stress, distress and/or trauma if work-related and explicitly framed as a mental health issue. Two authors will independently examine the studies against the eligibility criteria in the stages of title, abstract, and full-text study selection, as well as assess the risk of bias in included studies using standard checklists depending on study design. Disagreements will be resolved in discussion with the third author. Data will be extracted from included studies using a predefined and piloted coding framework. Given the anticipated heterogeneity of studies, we do not expect to be able to conduct meta-analysis and plan to summarize the extracted data in narrative form. The framework method will be used to organize narrative data by subthemes and explore patterns. Discussion In assessing the prevalence of mental health issues among healthcare professionals in LLMIC and identifying factors associated with positive or poor mental health, the review aims to synthesize all possible available information for policy makers and health system managers on a potentially highly important but not yet much-discussed issue and to highlight gaps in currently available knowledge.

Adolescence, the second decade of life, is a period in which an individual undergoes major physical and psychological changes. Adolescence is a period when health problems that have serious immediate consequences can occur or when problem behaviours that could have serious adverse effects on health in the future are initiated. This study examines the knowledge and perception regarding reproductive health and opinion toward reproductive health education among adolescents of rural Sindh, Pakistan.  Study was conducted in 2008- 2009 on a total number of 369 adolescent males (209) and females (160) studying in colleges of Kambar Shadadkot, rural Sindh. This descriptive study using cluster sampling technique was conducted in randomly selected eight intermediate colleges of boys and girls. After informed consent and ensuring confidentiality, an anonymous quantitative questionnaire was completed to ascertain the knowledge of adolescents.  Main outcome measures were adolescent’s knowledge of reproductive health concepts, pregnancy and contraceptive methods and knowledge in relation to sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and HIV/AIDS. Analysis of data revealed that a sizable proportion of adolescents had low knowledge regarding reproductive health issues and had misconception regarding reproductive physiology, STDs and condoms. Teacher was the focal source of information and 63% male and 43 % female respondents desired a need for RH education. More than half of participants had no knowledge on STDs and HIV/AIDS and its spread and a small percentage had awareness regarding contraceptive methods, about condom use and its protective coverage against STD’s and pregnancy. Strong efforts are needed to augment awareness among rural adolescents and education could serve the purpose. Gender-based ethnically amenable sex education curriculum should be introduced in educational institutions.South East Asia J Public Health | Jan-June 2012 | Vol 2 Issue 1 | 39-45 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/seajph.v2i1.15264

Important Health

One of the important health issues to be on the agenda of health promotion in schools is reproductive health. The results of the Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) in 2018 showed that nationally as many as 65.2% of the population had less knowledge about HIV/AIDS. This indicates that Indonesia is faced with the problem of low reproductive health literacy of school residents. The R&D design is used to develop the School Reproductive Health Education Index (IPKRS) instrument. R&D is carried out in 3 stages, namely: 1) determination of IPKRS dimensions and parameters by the focus group discussion (FGD) method; 2) Preparation, consultation and revision of the IPKRS model through experts judgment by the Delphy method; 3) Testing the validity of IPKRS by experts. The results shows that there are 4 dimensions of IPKRS, namely 1) the knowledge of school residents; 2) curriculum; 3) infrastructure; 4) institutional. The four dimensions are described in 13 IPKRS parameters. The validity test results shows all IPKRS parameters proved to be valid (Aiken’s coefficient V value for each item ≥ 0.92). The findings of the IPKRS model need to be followed up by implementing in schools within the framework of mapping the quality of school reproductive health education.

Introduction: Adolescence is a period of storms and stress; health problems that occur in adolescents are related to risky behavior, namely smoking, drinking alcohol, abuse of illegal drugs and having premarital sexual relations. The research objective was to determine the effect of reproductive health education on adolescent knowledge and attitudes about premarital sex.Methods: The research design used a quasi-experimental. The study population totalled 356 students. The sampling technique uses non-probability sampling: purposive sampling. A sample size of 188 respondents was obtained—reproductive health education implemented by video and leaflet. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney tests with a significant level of 0.05.Results: The results showed that in the video group, the knowledge level was p=0.000, and the attitude was p=0.000. The leaflet group showed a level of knowledge of p=0.000 and an attitude of p=0.000. The difference between the two groups was tested by using the Mann Whitney test. It was found that there was no difference in the effect of the video and leaflet methods on knowledge of p=0.219 and attitudes of p=0.469.Conclusion: Leaflets are effective for health education because they can be read individually and contain topics about premarital sex, which are more personal. The school must provide integrated sexual education with formal lessons that use many methods to increase students’ knowledge.
