Objective: To analyze the relationship between anxiety, self-esteem, happiness index and primary school students’ academic performance in Chilean adolescents from the Biobío province. Methodology: 733 (46.1% girls; 12 (1.3 years)) public primary school students that completed the 2018 Health and School Performance Survey carried out in the Biobío province were included in this cross-sectional analysis. The BECK Anxiety Inventory (BAI) was used to measure anxiety while happiness index and self-esteem were measured using the subjective happiness scale and the Rosenberg self-esteem scale, respectively. School performance was measured by grade point average (GPA) of language, math, physical education and cumulative GPA, and behavior associated with cognition in the school context was also considered. The relationship between mental health indicators and school performance was investigated using a one-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation. Results: In comparison to students with low anxiety levels and high self-esteem and happiness levels, students with higher anxiety levels, lower self-esteem and happiness levels perceived themselves as having memory problems. They were also slower to solve math problems, had a shorter attention span in class and presented more difficulties in solving complex tasks, as well as being more nervous during testing. These students also got the lowest grade point average in math, language and physical education. Conclusion: High anxiety levels, low self-esteem and low happiness levels were associated with lower school performance and weaker behavior associated with cognition in Chilean adolescents. Implementing plans of emotional education and mental health could improve academic achievement.

The Relationship

Previous researchers have described the relation between physical self-concept and body mass in adolescents, but those relationships have not been clearly specified by gender. The purpose of this study is to explore physical self-concepts of normal-weight and over-weight Serbian adolescents with respect to gender. The sample consisted of 417 primary school students (229 boys and 188 girls) with the average age 13.6 (SD=0.73) years who were divided into normal-weight and overweight groups according to body mass index. To assess the multidimensional physical self-concept, Physical Self-Description Questionnaire (PSDQ) was administered. Results showed that overweight adolescents had significantly lower scores than normal-weight on all PSDQ scales except Health and Strength. Differences were greater among girls than boys. Discriminant analysis showed that the scales Body Fat, Endurance and Sports Competence best differentiated normal-weight boys from other students. Also, discriminant analysis showed that, besides the scale Body Fat, scales Flexibility, Self-Esteem, and Coordination best differentiated normal-weight girls from other students. Results indicate that for better understanding of the relationship between adolescent?s physical self-concept and body mass one must take gender into account. Results are potentially valuable for preventing overweight through physical education.

The Relationship

Numerous studies have investigated the impact of self-esteem and intelligence on academic achievement. The findings are generally inconsistent. The aim of this study was to understand the relationship between intelligence, self-esteem and academic achievement among young people in Kosovo. It was a quantitative cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 1856 participants, aged 10-18 years old (Mage = 15.29, SD = 1.76). Participants completed the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and The Raven Standard Progressive Matrices. Grade Point Average (GPA) was used to measure academic achievement. Data processing was done with SPSS 21.0 and Microsoft Excel 2013. Participants according to self-reported academic achievement were classified as follows: fail (0.1%), sufficient (2%), good (15.6%), very good (26.7%) and excellent (55.7%). As regards self-esteem participants were classified as follows: low self-esteem (26.9%), and normal self-esteem (73.1%). A significant positive correlation was found between academic achievement and intelligence (r = .31; p = .00) but not between achievement and self-esteem. This significant correlation resulted for both genders separately. The Mann-Whitney test found significant differences in academic achievement between genders and between groups with high intelligence and those with normal intelligence. Intelligence, but not self-esteem revealed a significant relationship with academic achievement. Future studies on the topic might focus on explanatory factors or the possibility of interaction of other variables related to academic achievement.

Scoliosis Screening

Adolescent forms of idiopathic scoliosis are commonly encountered deformities of the thoracic and lumbar spine. They affect a significant number of adolescents, yet their cause is still unknown. The presented research is a cross-sectional analysis of 3933 volunteers (2131 girls and 1802 boys). The participants were primary school students aged 9 to 13 years old. This study determined a relationship between predictors such as: body mass, body height and body mass index (BMI) (independent variables) and angle of trunk rotation (ATR) value (dependent variable). Moreover, a stepwise multiple regression with backward selection was conducted to determine to what extent the dependent variable is explained by body mass, body height and BMI. In the group of 11,12,13-year-old girls, the analyzed results of multiple stepwise regression were statistically significant. Among the all studied predictors, it has been shown that body mass in the 11-year-old girls and body height in 12- and 13-year-old girls are major correlates of a 1-year ATR increase in proximal and main thoracic spine levels.

Unlike organized activities such as sports and arts, civic activities in adolescence (e.g., volunteering, student government) have been less studied in relation to school success and almost all existing evidence consists of cross-sectional findings. In a longitudinal study, 1035 pupils (64% females, 20% non-white, Mage = 14.21 years) from high schools reported their engagement in organized non-civic and civic activities during the school year, dimensions of activity participation (e.g., intensity, duration, motives), and covariables (age, gender, ethnicity, SES, self-esteem, parental relationship, school motivation). Previous and end-of-year grade point average (GPA) were collected from school administrations. Results revealed that both civic and non-civic organized activities independently predicted increases in GPA over the school year, even after adjusting for all covariables.

The study examined the influence of self-esteem and Peer pressure on the career choice of adolescents. The purpose was to determine the relationship between Peer pressure and career choice, the relationship between self-esteem and career choice, and compare the influence of self-esteem and Peer pressure on adolescent boys and girls. Cross-sectional and descriptive was the research design. Cluster sampling was used to select four schools, and stratified proportional, and simple random sampling was used to select 200 respondents. Rosenberg self-esteem, Peer pressure, and career decision scales were used to collect data from 200 Senior High School students in selected schools in the Greater Accra region Ghana. Pearson’s correlation and regression analysis were the statistical tools for the analysis of data. The results indicate that self-esteem positively correlates with the career choice of adolescents. Peer pressure positively correlates career choices of adolescents. There is no gender differences in Peer pressure and career choice of adolescents. Challenges of career choice among adolescents include the lack of career guidance, the influence of family, general indecisiveness, the desire to pursue a career that earns much, and the opinion of their peer concerning career choice.

Diurnal Enuresis

Abstract: Enuresis refers to the involuntary excretion of urine that occurs during urination which is expected to have already been attained. Enuresis is divided into nocturnal enuresis and diurnal enuresis. Nocturnal enuresis (sleep wetting) is enuresis which occurs at night while enuresis diurnal (awake wetting) is enuresis which occurs during the day. The presence of leukocytes in urine that exceeds the normal value is called leukocyturia which is a sign of inflammation of the urinary tract (kidneys, ureter, bladder, and urethra). This study aimed to obtain the relationship between leukocyturia and enuresis among primary school students aged 5-10 years in SDN 4 and SDN 8 Wawalintouan Tondano. This was an observational analytical study with a cross sectional approach. Samples were obtained by using purposive sampling method. There were 60 urine samples of children of SDN 4 and SDN 8 Wawalintouan, Tondano. The results showed that of the 60 students, there were 34 males (56.7%) and 26 females (43.3%). Based on gender, there were 29 males (61.7%) with negative leukocyturia and 5 males (38.5%) with positive leukocyturia; among females there were 18 females (38.3%) with negative leukocyturia and 8 females (61,5%) with positive leukocyturia Based on enuresis, the distribution of leukocyturia showed 7 students (53,8%) with enuresis and positive leukocyturia, meanwhile of those without enuresis there were 6 students (46,2%) with positive leukocyturia. Conclusion: There was no relationship between the incidence of enuresis and leukocyturia among primary school students aged 5-10 years in SDN 4 and SDN 8 Wawalintouan Tondano.Keywords: enuresis,leukosituria,urinalysis. Abstrak: Enuresis merupakan pengeluaran air kemih yang tidak disadari yang terjadi pada saat proses berkemih diharapkan sudah tercapai. Enuresis di bagi atas enuresis nokturnal dan enuresis diurnal. Enuresis nokturnal (sleep wetting) merupakan enuresis yang terjadi pada malam hari sedangkan enuresis diurnal (awake wetting) adalah enuresis yang terjadi pada siang hari. Terdapatnya leukosit dalam urin melebihi nilai normal disebut leukosituri yang merupakan salah satu tanda adanya peradangan pada saluran kemih (mencakup ginjal, ureter, kandung kemih, dan uretra). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara enuresis dengan kejadian leukosituria pada siswa sekolah dasar usia 5-10 tahun di SDN 4 dan SDN 8 Wawalintouan Tondano. Jenis penelitian ini analitik observasional dengan desain potong lintang. Sampel diperoleh dengan metode purposive sampling yang dilaksanakan dengan mengambil sampel urin anak-anak sekolah dasar di SDN 4 dan SDN 8 Wawalintouan Tondano. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan dari 60 sampel terdapat 34 anak laki-laki (56,7%) dan 26 anak perempuan (43,3%). Dari distribusi leukosituria berdasarkan jenis kelamin didapatkan anak laki-laki dengan leukosituria negatif berjumlah 29 anak (61,7%) dan dengan leukosituria positif 5 anak (38,5%), sedangkan anak perempuan dengan leukosituria negatif berjumlah 18 anak (38,3%) dan yang leukosituria positif 8 anak (61,5%). Distribusi leukosituria berdasarkan enuresis didapatkan 7 anak (53,8%) yang enuresis dengan leukosituria positif, sedangkan yang tidak enuresis didapatkan 6 anak (46,2%) dengan leukosituria positif. Simpulan: Tidak terdapat hubungan antara enuresis dengan kejadian leukosituria pada siswa sekolah sekolah dasar usia 5-10 tahun di SDN 4 dan SDN 8 Wawalintouan Tondano. Kata kunci: enuresis, leukosituria, urinalisis
