Sexual Health Knowledge

Background: Sexual health knowledge (SHK) is very crucial as the world is facing HIV/AIDS tragedy, increased cases of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unsafe abortions among adolescents. It is obvious that knowledge is an important prevention factor for any disease.Objectives: The study was conducted to assess knowledge and attitude on sexual health among secondary school students in Morogoro Municipality. Specifically the study (I: (i) examined students’ knowledge and attitude on sexual transmitted infections, (ii) analyzed student's awareness on early pregnancy prevention, and; (iii) determined students’ knowledge on issues related to puberty.Methods: The study involved 75 respondents from five secondary schools and 13 key informants through purposive sampling and simple random sampling techniques. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Data collected were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) ver.12.Results: Findings revealed that 79.8% of the respondents had knowledge on sexually transmitted infections, 86.5% were aware ofmethods of controlling early pregnancies; 83.9% have never used protective gears during sexual intercourses, and 54.7% did not understand a menstruation cycle.Conclusion: The study recommended for provision of sexual health knowledge to students to reduce incidences of early pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections; likewise on the need to use protective gears during sexual intercourses. Knowledge concerning sexual health is vital for all particularly for adolescents, as they are vulnerable to adopt negative behaviors if not guided properly and at the right age.

Southern Province

Background: Adolescent pregnancy is one of the major public health issues globally and in Thailand. Sexual health literacy (SHL) is an important factor to prevent teenage pregnancy. Objective: To assess the level of SHL and to explore factors associated with SHL among female secondary school students, in a southern province of Thailand. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a southern province of Thailand. One hundred twenty-eight female secondary school students were randomly selected to participate in the present study. The SHL questionnaire was used to access participants’ SHL and included four domains 1) accessing information, 2) understanding information, 3) appraising information, and 4) applying or practicing. The scores of SHL were calculated using the formula “Index – score, which is mean less the minimal value of mean times 50 divided by 3”. The results were divided into four levels as inadequate if less than 25, problematic from 26 to 33, sufficient from 34 to 42, and excellent if greater than 42. Both the formula and the levels were adopted from the European Health Literacy Survey (HLS-EU-Q47) method. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze general characteristic information. Chi-square was used to find factors associated with SHL. Results: The findings revealed that more than half of the participants had inadequate SHL scores regarding access to sexual health information, understanding and appraising SHL, and applying SHL in life. The results showed that the grade point average (GPA) was statistically significant associated with SHL (chi-square=6.24, p-value=0.04). Conclusion: Most adolescents in the present study had inadequate scores on SHL. Therefore, knowledge information and practice regarding accessing information, understanding of SHL, appraising of SHL, applying or practice and skill development, and decision making should be provided and encouraged among high school teenagers.

Summary The German Pupils Academy (Deutsche Schüler-Akademie) is a summer-school program for highly gifted secondary-school students. Three types of program evaluation were conducted. Input evaluation confirmed the participants as intellectually highly gifted students who are intrinsically motivated and interested to attend the courses offered at the summer school. Process evaluation focused on the courses attended by the participants as the most important component of the program. Accordingly, the instructional approaches meet the needs of highly gifted students for self-regulated and discovery oriented learning. The product or impact evaluation was based on a multivariate social-cognitive framework. The findings indicate that the program contributes to promoting motivational and cognitive prerequisites for transforming giftedness into excellent performances. To some extent, the positive effects on students' self-efficacy and self-regulatory strategies are due to qualities of the learning environments established by the courses.

Television Use

Based on the model of Reid, Giles and Abrams (2004 , Zeitschrift für Medienpsychologie, 16, 17–25), this paper describes and analyzes the relation between television use and ethnolinguistic-coping strategies among German speakers in South Tyrol, Italy. The data were collected among secondary school students (N = 415) in 2011. The results indicated that the television use of the students was dominated by the German language. A mediation analysis revealed that TV viewing contributed to the perception of ethnolinguistic vitality, the permeability of intergroup boundaries, and status stability, which in turn affected ethnolinguistic-coping strategies of mobility (moving toward the outgroup), creativity (maintaining identity without confrontation), and competition (fighting for ingroup rights and respect). Findings and theoretical implications are discussed.
