Abstract

Mental health problems in adolescence are often associated with sleep disorders that affect academic performance and daily functioning. This study aims to describe the mental health status and sleep quality of adolescents in a public junior high school in Bali, Indonesia. The study used a quantitative descriptive cross-sectional design. A sample of 178 seventh-grade students was selected using stratified random sampling. Mental health status was measured using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, while sleep quality was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that most adolescents had a mental health status in the normal category, although a significant proportion were found in the borderline and abnormal categories. More than half of the respondents reported good sleep quality, while the rest experienced suboptimal sleep quality. These findings indicate that although the general condition of adolescents is relatively good, there are still at-risk groups that require special attention through early screening and school-based promotive and preventive interventions.

Abstract

Limitations in school-age children's knowledge about unhealthy eating and drinking patterns can increase the risk of long-term health problems, so early prevention efforts are needed. This study aims to provide an overview of the level of knowledge of elementary school children about the dangers of packaged sweetened beverages. The study used a quantitative descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. 133 fifth and sixth grade students were involved in the study, selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics and cross-tabulation. The results showed that most respondents had a good level of knowledge about the dangers of packaged sweetened beverages. A better level of knowledge tended to be found in older students, female students, students whose parents worked as private employees or entrepreneurs, students who obtained health information from the internet, and students who more often bought packaged sweetened beverages at school. The findings indicate that elementary school children already have a sufficient knowledge base regarding the health risks of sweetened beverages, but environmental factors and sources of information still play an important role in shaping this understanding. Strengthening school-based health education and family support is necessary to encourage healthier beverage choices from an early age.

Abstract

Adolescence is a sensitive developmental period in which emotional regulation, peer relationships, and self-identity are still forming, while social media has become an increasingly familiar part of daily life. Understanding how social media use appears alongside adolescents’ mental health is important for school-based health promotion and early psychosocial support. This study aimed to describe social media use and mental health status among adolescents at SMP Negeri 1 Abiansemal. A quantitative descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach was conducted among 178 seventh-grade students selected through stratified random sampling. Social media use was measured using a researcher-developed questionnaire, while adolescent mental health status was assessed using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequency distributions, percentages, and cross-tabulation. The findings showed that most respondents were frequent social media users. Mental health profiles varied across domains, with most adolescents categorized as borderline in the prosocial behavior or strengths domain, normal in the difficulties domain, and normal in general mental health status. Frequent social media use was observed across different mental health categories, indicating a varied psychosocial profile rather than a single uniform pattern. These findings provide baseline information for nurses, teachers, and school health professionals in developing early screening, healthy social media education, and preventive mental health programs for adolescents.
