Abstrak. Dispepsia fungsional merupakan kelainan fungsional yang terdiri dari gejala klinis seperti nyeri ulu hati, perut kembung, cepat kenyang, mual dan muntah. Hal ini berpengaruh terhadap Indeks Prestasi Kumulatif (IPK) mahasiswa melalui mekanisme fisiologis dan psikologis. IPK adalah cerminan hasil nilai pencapaian pembelajaran ditingkat perkuliahan. Hasil belajar dapat dipengaruhi oleh gaya belajar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan gaya belajar dengan IPK pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Syiah Kuala yang menderita dispepsia fungsional. Jenis penelitian ini adalah analitik observasional dengan rancangan cross sectional. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan probability sampling dengan metode stratified random sampling. Responden penelitian berjumlah 98 orang yang menderita dispepsia fungsional pada angkatan 2014, 2015 dan 2016. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan mahasiswa paling banyak kategori IPK sangat memuaskan (42,9%) dengan auditori adalah gaya belajar yang paling banyak digunakan (59,2%) dan diikuti oleh gaya belajar kinestetik (16,3%). Sebanyak 11% responden dengan kategori IPK pujian dan 7% diantaranya memiliki gaya belajar visual. Berdasarkan hasil analisis uji Kruskal Wallis terdapat hubungan signifikan dengan intensitas lemah antara gaya belajar dan IPK pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Syiah Kuala yang menderita dispepsia fungsional (a0,05; p=0,000; r=-0,349). Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini, terdapat hubungan antara gaya belajar dengan IPK pada mahasiswa Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Syiah  Kuala yang menderita dispepsia fungsional.Kata kunci: Dispepsia Fungsional, Indeks Prestasi Kumulatif, Gaya BelajarAbstract. Functional dyspepsia is a functional abnormality consisting of clinical symptoms such as epigastrial pain, flatulence, early feeling of fullness (satiety), nausea and vomiting. It affects students' Grade Point Average (GPA) through physiological and psychological mechanisms. GPA reflects the learning outcomes at the end of study, which is influenced by learning style. This study aimed to determine the relationship between learning style with GPA of medical students of Syiah Kuala University with functional dyspepsia. This was an analytic observational study with cross-sectional design. The respondents included 98 students suffering from functional dyspepsia in the force of 2014,2015 and 2016 selected using stratified random sampling. The result of the study showed that most students in the IPK category were very satisfactory (42,9%) with auditory was the most used learning style (59,2%) and followed by kinesthetic learning style (16,3%).

BACKGROUND: Learning achievement is an important indicator to determine the learning and teaching process, each student has a different learning style. Student learning learns how they choose the suitable method and the results obtained optimally. A student must also learn their learning styles to choose methods or ways of learning that are appropriate to their character. AIM: Knowing the relationship between learning style and cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) of 4th-year students at the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Baiturrahmah. METHODS: The scope of this research covers the fields of medical science, especially medical education, correlative analytical research with cross-sectional design. The study was conducted at the Medical Faculty Universitas Baiturrahma. The study was conducted from May to January 2019. The affordable population in this study were 4th-year students numbered 80 students with the Simple Random Sampling technique. Data analysis was univariately presented in the form of a frequency distribution table and bivariate analysis using the correlation test using the SPSS program. RESULTS: At most with female gender, namely (71.3%), the highest place is at most boarding, namely (77.5%), most have quad-model learning styles, namely (80%), most have a GPA graduated that is (61.3%), there is a relationship between the learning style and the GPA of 4th-year medical students with a value of p = 0.024 (p < 0.05) and r = 0.0253. CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that the 4th-year medical students have the most female sex, the most places to live are boarding, quad-model learning style, and there is a correlation between learning styles and the 4th year GPA Medicine at Universitas Baiturrahmah.

Introduction: Considering the importance of oral health as a part of general health and the role of physicians in community health, the present study was conducted to investigate the relationship between common oral diseases and general body health from the perspective of medical students in Yazd City in 2018. Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 210 internship and pre-internship students of Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences in Yazd Cityin 2018 were selected randomly and their knowledge about common oral and dental diseases and its relationship with general body health was assessed through a valid and reliabile questionnaire consisted of 10 questions. Data were entered into SPSS version 16 statistical software and analyzed using descriptive statistics and T-test. Results: In the present study, 191 internship and pre-internship students completed the research questionnaire, of which 101 were female (52.8 %) and 90 were male (47.1%). The mean age of the students was 24.07 ±1.92. Their mean grade point average at the time of the study was 15/95±1/28. The mean score of their knowledge of oral diseases was 9.79 ± 3.27 with a range of 1 to 19. There was no statistically significant relationship between the mean score of knowledge in terms of age, sex, semester and grade point average (p˃0/05). Conclusion: The results showed that the mean score of knowledge of the internship and pre-internship students about common oral diseases and its relationship with general health is low. Therefore, it seems necessary to improve the level of knowledge of medical students in this regard by adding the mentioned topics to the educational curriculum of medical students.

Habitual playing of video games is believed to have a harmful effect on the academic performance of students. This study tracks the effect of video game playing on the academic performance of medical students in Saudi Arabia. During May through August 2013, 307 medical students in their final years filled a cross-sectional survey to collect data on the use of video games at King Abdulaziz University. Results showed female students played video games less than male students. Additionally, video game users were more likely than nonusers to have scores between 4.0 and 4.4 on a 5 point grade point average scale. While higher scoring students were less likely to play video games, only 25.6% of the surveyed students could be included in that category, and 71.8% of those students played video games for < 1 hr /day. Students who played video games for > 1 hr/day had a lesser chance (50.4%) of scoring within the highest range of grade point averages. The results indicate that while limited use of video games may improve grade point average scores, video gaming could not be recommended for students who want to score in the highest tier of grade point averages. A large-scale multi-institutional study is required to confirm these observations.

Objectives: To determine the relationships between the use of self-regulated learning strategies and academic achievement among Vietnamese medical students. Methods: An accelerated prospective cohort study among 623 students at a public medical university, Vietnam was conducted during the academic year 2012-2013. Fourteen self-regulated learning subscales including intrinsic/extrinsic goal orientation, task values, self-efficacy for learning, control of learning beliefs, rehearsal, elaboration, organization, critical thinking, meta-cognitive strategies, time and study environment, effort regulation, peer learning, and help seeking were measured using the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire. The Grade Point Average was recorded through two consecutive semesters of the academic year 2012-2013. Data were collected at two points in time (once each semester). Generalized Estimating Equation was applied to explore any relationships between the use of self-regulated learning subscales and Grade Point Average, adjusting for the effects of within cluster correlation, National Medical Admission Test scores, and times of measurement, depression, anxiety, stress, and demographic covariates. Results: Results from multivariate analysis revealed that extrinsic goal orientation, time and study environment, and effort regulation were found to be significantly positively associated with Grade Point Average (mean difference: 0.932; 95%CI: 0.344 to 1.528). Conclusions: The use of self-regulated learning strategies can be helpful for improving of academic achievement among Vietnamese medical students. Key words: self-regulated learning, academic achievement, medical students, Vietnam

University dropout is a politically and economically important factor. While a number of studies address this issue cross-sectionally by analyzing different cohorts, or retrospectively via questionnaires, few of them are truly longitudinal and focus on the individual as the unit of interest. In contrast to these studies, an individual differences perspective is adopted in the present paper. For this purpose, a hands-on introduction to a recently proposed structural equation (SEM) approach to discrete-time survival analysis is provided ( Muthén & Masyn, 2005 ). In a next step, a prospective study with N = 1096 students, observed across four semesters, is introduced. As expected, average university grade proved to be an important predictor of future dropout, while high-school grade-point average (GPA) yielded no incremental predictive validity but was completely mediated by university grade. Accounting for unobserved heterogeneity, three latent classes could be identified with differential predictor-criterion relations, suggesting the need to pay closer attention to the composition of the student population.
