Abstract

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) remain a major reproductive health concern among adolescents, particularly female students with varying levels of knowledge and attitudes toward preventive behavior. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between knowledge and attitude toward preventive behavior against STIs. This research employed a descriptive-correlational design with a cross-sectional approach, conducted at Abu Bakar Integrated Islamic Senior High School, Yogyakarta. The population consisted of 29 female students selected through total sampling. Data were collected using validated and reliable standardized questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression with a 0.05 significance level. The analysis revealed no significant relationship between knowledge and attitude with STI preventive behavior (p>0.05). The R² value of 0.170 indicated that knowledge and attitude contributed only 17% to preventive behavior, while 83% was influenced by other factors. Knowledge and attitude were not the dominant factors shaping preventive behavior toward STIs. Future educational interventions should integrate social, cultural, and religious determinants to enhance adolescent health behavior.

Abstract

Background: Adolescence is a developmental period characterized by heightened emotional and behavioral vulnerability, which may be influenced by increasing exposure to digital devices. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the association between age, gender, and duration of gadget use and mental health among adolescents. Methods: A school-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 69 twelfth-grade students aged 15–18 years at a vocational high school in Central Java, Indonesia, selected through accidental sampling. Mental health status was assessed using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ-18), while duration of gadget use was measured using a structured self-report questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize participant characteristics. Associations were analyzed using Chi-square tests and multiple linear regression to identify independent predictors of emotional strength and behavioral difficulties. Results: High gadget use was significantly associated with abnormal emotional difficulties (93.8%) and lower emotional strength (87.5%). Bivariate analysis demonstrated significant associations between gadget use and mental health outcomes (p < 0.001) and between age and mental health (p = 0.027), whereas gender was not significantly associated (p = 0.117). In multivariate models, gadget use and emotional difficulties remained significant predictors (p < 0.05), explaining 81.2% of the variance in emotional strength (R² = 0.812) and 76.5% of the variance in behavioral difficulties (R² = 0.765). Conclusions: These findings indicate that greater duration of gadget use is associated with poorer mental health indicators among adolescents. Given the cross-sectional design, causal inferences cannot be established. Strategies promoting balanced digital use and school-based mental health support may help mitigate potential adverse outcomes.
