Background: We aimed to provide the baseline data of nursing intervention for promoting the health promotion and promotion of growth and development for elementary students. Methods: By subjecting the 887 elementary students from 20 elementary schools located in the northern area of Gyeonggi-do Province, South Korea, data were gathered from April 10-May 30, 2017. The SPSS was used for analysis of data. Results: Some elements of emotional intelligence were found to differ depending on the gender and family type of lower-grade children, and depending on gender, sleep time, family type, and physical activity experience of higher-grade children. Some factors of stress were found to have differences according to sleeping time of the lower grades, and according to gender, sleeping time, family type, and whether they have experience in physical activity of higher-graders. Conclusion: It is possible to improve emotional intelligence and solve the stress of elementary students. This study will be the baseline data on developing the Health Promotion Education Arbitration Program for elementary students.

Introduction: School life is an important part of children’s lives, which has a direct impact on their physical and mental health. Knowledge of health promotion and prevention activities encourages initiating first aid activities in society. Objective: To assess the level of knowledge of rural secondary school students following educational intervention on first aid. Methodology: A quasi-experimental study was carried out among 320 secondary school students. Educational intervention on first aid was applied to compare the level of knowledge before and after the intervention. Data were collected by a self-administered structured questionnaire through randomly selected students. Results: Findings showed that most of the respondents (84.2%) were between 12-15 years old and their mean age was 14.3 years. It was also found that the majority 159 (58.5%) of the respondents were male and the rest of them 113 (41.5%) were female. Regarding family type distribution, the majority 192 (70.6%) of the respondents lived in a nuclear family and 80 (29.4%) belong to joint family. In addition, 43 (15.8%) students' fathers were farmers, 74 (27.2%) were businessmen and 43 (15.8%) were day laborers. Regarding textbook knowledge on first aid 270 (99.3%) respondents knew the meaning of first aid, 232 (85.3%) students gave their opinion about cleaning the skin with Dettol or savlon in case of injury and 228 (83.8%) students answered that bleeding should be reduced by applying pressure with a clean cloth. The study found that 22 (8.1%) respondents had a good knowledge of first aid interventions before the intervention while after the intervention, a good level of knowledge was found amongst 189 (69.5%) students. The study revealed that the use of ice during injury management was not significantly (c2 =0.529, p˃ 0.05) associated with the level of first aid knowledge statistically before the intervention while after first aid intervention, there was a significant association (c2 =7.235, p˂ 0.05). Conclusion: Educational intervention on first aid improves the level of knowledge among secondary school students. Necessary measures should be taken to encourage health promotion and prevention activities during practical life.

Purpose: Current in-school physical activity (PA) policies lack regulation, which testifies to the urgency of monitoring in-school moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA). This study quantifies the demographical differences of in-school PA among elementary students. Methods: Fourth-grade students wore accelerometers during school for 1 week. The teachers logged information for PA setting and duration of opportunity. Results: The accelerometry data (N = 148) showed alarming results in the lack of MVPA during in-school PA opportunity times. Significant sex differences showed boys to accumulate more minutes MVPA per day in recess than girls (7.62 ± 5.87 and 5.19 ± 3.03, respectively). Racial differences showed that non-White students accumulated significantly more minutes of MVPA per week during the school day than White students (30.82 ± 19.09 and 23.44 ± 18.41, respectively). Conclusions: The students fell short of the recommended 30 min of MVPA per day during school hours, as advised by a state mandate. Significant differences were seen in PA levels across sex and race, supporting the need for enhanced attention to influential factors on PA engagement.

Abstract Background Adolescence is one of the most challenging periods of human life. Many healthy or risky behaviors may be formed during this period and continue to the end of life. The aim of this study was to examine and compare the health promotion behaviors of male and female students in high schools. Methods In this descriptive-comparative study, 609 high school students were selected using multi-stage random sampling method. Data were collected using demographic and health-promoting lifestyle profile (HPLPII) questionnaires. Results The mean of health promotion behaviors was moderate in female (2.43 ± 0.46) and male (2.61 ± 0.45) students. The highest and lowest means in the male students were respectively the dimensions of spiritual growth and health responsibility. Also, the highest and lowest means in the female students were dimensions of interpersonal relationships as well as physical activity and exercise. The status of male health promotion behaviors was significantly more favorable than that of the female (p = 0.001, t = −4.71). The male students had a better situation than female in terms of all the six dimensions of HPLPII, so there was a significant difference between them in the four dimensions of spiritual growth, stress management, physical activity and health responsibility. There was also a significant relationship between the history of physical and mental illness in the past year and the students’ health promotion behaviors (p < 0.05). Conclusion The results indicated the importance of promoting self-care and educational interventions in the aspects such as physical activity and health responsibility of young people in order to improve the health of the community.

Abstract Objectives: We studied the association between objectively-measured smartphone usage and objectively-measured sleep quality and physical activity for seven consecutive days among Hong Kong adolescents and young adults aged 11–25 (n = 357, 67% female).Methods: We installed an app that tracked the subjects’ smartphone usage and had them wear an ActiGraph GT3X accelerometer on their wrist to measure their sleep quality and physical activity level. Smartphone usage data were successfully obtained from 187 participants (52.4%).Results: The participants on average spent 2 hours 46 minutes per day on their smartphone. Multilevel regression showed that, among secondary school students, one minute of daytime smartphone usage was associated with 0.12 minute decrease in total sleeping time that night (p = 0.042, 95% CI: -0.23, -0.007). One minute of bedtime smartphone usage was associated with 0.32 minute increase in wake after sleep onset that night (p = 0.04, 95% CI: 0.02, 0.62). One minute of smartphone usage during sleep was associated with sleep efficiency (β = 0.013%, p = 0.01, 95% CI: 0.003%, 0.023%) and WASO (β=-0.05, p = 0.04, 95% CI: -0.10, -0.005). One minute of daytime smartphone usage was associated with 7.15 steps increase in the number of steps (p = 0.02, 95% CI: 1.02, 13.28) among secondary school students and 3.52 steps increase in the number of steps (p = 0.03, 95% CI: 0.37, 6.66) among university students on the next day.Conclusion: Time spent on smartphone was associated with total sleeping time, the number of steps, and MVPA among Hong Kong adolescents and young adults.

Activity Questionnaire

  The decrease in physical activity among adolescents has become a global health problem. From the educational point of view, preventing sedentarism is of uttermost importance to avoid repercussions on economic and social levels. This study aims to analyze the characteristics and time dedicated to physical and leisure activities by adolescent during the lockdown caused by COVID-19 (2019, April 1 to May 1). The Minnesota Lesuire Time Physical Activity Questionnaire was used telematically on 4070 Canarian high school students (M=15.01; SD=3.53 years) during lockdown. 83.13% of the sample did not follow the WHO recommendations regarding physical activity, 63.64% did not keep ACSM recommendations to passive leisure, and 37% did not respect those regarding sleeping time. Likewise, as age increased there was a decrease in the amount of time dedicated to physical activity and thus failure to follow the recommendations of the relevant institutions. Also the time allotted to passive leisure was M=3.55 (SD=2.75) hours per day. It is concluded that the time dedicated to physical activity is insufficient according to the official bodies like as the use of screens acquires great predominance in the employment of adolescents’ free time, causing the need to consider future interventions to mitigate the sedentarism level and its consequences.  Resumen. La disminución de los hábitos de práctica física entre adolescentes se ha convertido en un problema de salud mundial. Desde el punto de vista educativo, la prevención del sedentarismo es de vital importancia por sus repercusiones tanto a nivel económico, social, como para la salud en general. Este estudio describe y analiza las características y el tiempo dedicado por escolares a actividad física y entretenimiento, durante el período de confinamiento por Covid-19 (1 de abril a 1 de mayo de 2019). Mediante el Minnesota Lesuire Time Physical Activity Questionnaire administrado de manera telemática a 4070 escolares (M=15,01; DT=3,53 años), se encontró que el 83,13% de la muestra no cumplieron las recomendaciones respecto a actividades físicas, el 63,64% las del tiempo de pantallas, y el 37% las horas de sueño. Asimismo, a medida que aumentaba la edad disminuían las horas de práctica física y por ende el incumplimiento de las recomendaciones de los organismos pertinentes. El tiempo destinado a ocio pasivo durante el confinamiento fue de 3,55 (DT=2,75) horas al día. Se concluye que el tiempo de actividad física es insuficiente según los parámetros establecidos, predominando el uso de pantallas en la ocupación del tiempo libre de los adolescentes, por tanto urge plantear intervenciones para mitigar los elevados niveles de sedentarismo.

This paper examines the Trait Emotional Intelligence (TEI) of business school students using the Trait Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire‐Short Form (TEIQ). The primary objective of the research is to study the wellbeing, self‐control, emotionality, and sociability of students in a various business schools and to identify the differences in students’ emotional intelligence (EI) with regards to students’ undergraduate (UG) degree, family type, work experience, brought up place and gender. This survey was carried out among the MBA students of a various B‐schools in India and data were collected from 141 respondents. The researchers employed T‐Test & one‐way Anova to test all variables using descriptive statistics for better understanding. Many researchers proved that emotional intelligence helps in successful leadership irrespective of domains. Researchers strongly believe students who pursue management degrees will one day become business leaders. Therefore, there is a scope in EI for business students. Many research papers on EI for leaders have been published but only few have been published on EI for business students. One of the results from this study shows that students who brought up in semi urban cities exhibit significant differences in wellbeing factor of TEI

Abstract Background Previous studies have shown that unhealthy eating habits and lack of exercise are still widespread among high school students. Hungary and many other countries have attempted to introduce campaigns and health education programs among adolescents to promote healthier lifestyle, but the effectiveness of these programs is unclear. Our aim was to investigate the consistency between knowledge and behavior in adolescents. Methods A self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted in 9 secondary schools’ student dormitories, involving 163 students. Descriptive statistics were estimated and chi2- test was used to compare the prevalence between groups. Results Of the participants 69.3% reported their health status good, girls and those students who studied in vocational school frequently considered their own health bad (p = 0.002). Almost all of them highlighted the importance of regular physical activity, but 27.7% had low physical activity. Daily consumption of fruit and vegetables seems to be characteristic just half of the students, the structure of their daily snacks consists more in sugar-sweetened snacks (21.7%) and energy dense beverages (22.8%). Students with higher level of health-consciousness rated better their own health status and took exercise more frequently, but the higher level of health-consciousness had not positive effect on the healthy food consumption (p = 0.143). Conclusions Our findings suggest lack of exercise and unhealthy eating habits were still widespread among high school students. The results of the study showed that adolescents have sufficient knowledge about healthy lifestyle, however, it has little impact on their health-related behaviour. Key messages The most important characteristic of an effective health promotion programme is its ability to change behaviour. Health promotion programmes should continue in schools, especially focus on behaviour changing interventions to effectively influence the health of the students.

BACKGROUND Due to the widespread of COVID-19, the emergency homeschooling plan has been rigorously implemented in China. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the experience and attitude of elementary school students and their parents towards online learning in China during the COVID-19 outbreak. METHODS A 16-item questionnaire was distributed to 867 elementary students and their parents at 10 days, and 141 elementary students and their parents 30 days after the first online learning course. The questionnaire comprised questions regarding the completeness of course and homework, effectiveness, reliability, and abundance of courses, the enthusiasm to take part in online learning, and the satisfaction of online learning. Sociodemographic data, like students’ grades and equipment for online learning, were recorded. RESULTS In terms of equipment, lower grade pupils were more likely to choose TV to execute their online learning. Most of the students had good enthusiasm for taking online learning courses. Most of the students couldn’t do well in the online learning class and homework after class. The majority of elementary school parents thought that the reliability, effectiveness, and abundance of online courses were perfect. In terms of satisfaction, most parents were satisfied with online learning courses, and the score was above 6 points. In consist of parents, most students were satisfied with online learning courses, and the score also was above 6 points. For future study, most parents or students hoped to return to face-to-face learning in our study. Compared with the first stage, the proportion of students completing courses and homework after class in the second stage decreased significantly. In terms of the validity and reliability of the course, compared with the first stage, the evaluation of parents on online courses in the second stage was lower. Parents and students’ satisfaction with online courses decreased in the second stage, but there was no statistically significant difference between the two stages. CONCLUSIONS Online learning can prevent the spread of infectious diseases, meanwhile allowing elementary school students to gain knowledge during the COVID-19 outbreak. Most enrolled elementary school students had full enthusiastic about participating in online learning. Both elementary school students and their parents were highly satisfied with online learning. In the initial phase of online learning, students were able to complete all online lessons and homework assignments after school very well. However, as time went on, the percentage of students who completed the courses and homework on time was decreased. Compared with the first stage, the satisfaction of students and their parents towards online learning decreased in the second stage. As soon as this happened, online learning remained an excellent form of education during the epidemic outbreak. To achieve better teaching results, some corrections need to be made to the lessons, such as making them more interactive.

Introduction Little is known about workplace health promotion for bus drivers. Bus drivers are at-risk of chronic disease because they are exposed to the risk factor combination of poor nutrition, low levels of physical activity, high levels of sedentary time and are often overweight or obese. The purpose of this paper is to situate the quantitative baseline data collected from bus drivers within qualitative findings about the socio-cultural context of the workplace. Materials and methods Baseline data about physical activity, dietary intake and sedentary hours was collected from 58 drivers employed by a large bus company in southeast Queensland. Ten drivers and seven key workplace informants participated in interviews and discussion groups about driver health behaviours, workplace structure, culture, and resources. Results The quantitative results of our study reveal bus drivers have a cluster of poor health behaviours—limited physical activity, lower than recommended consumption of fruit and vegetables and high levels of sitting time during working-hours—which contribute to a high prevalence of overweight and obesity and a heightened risk of chronic disease. The qualitative findings suggest there are individual and structural barriers to improving drivers’ modifiable health behaviours. Individual barriers include ingrained poor habits and more pressing life concerns, while structural barriers in the context of the workplace include time constraints, shift work, long days, a lack of work amenities and a general disconnect of drivers with their workplace. Conclusion In this workplace, health promotion strategies for bus drivers should be prioritised as a means of improving drivers’ health. To maximise uptake and effectiveness, these strategies should make use of existing workplace resources and consider the context of workplace health behaviour change. Further research is warranted in a broader sample of Australian bus companies to explore the context of workplace health behavior change so targeted strategies to improve bus drivers’ health can be developed.
