Abstract

Low back pain (LBP) is a common health issue that affects both adolescents and the elderly, impacting their daily activities and overall quality of life. This study aims to identify the causes, risk factors, and preventive measures associated with LBP in these two age groups. Various factors, including posture, physical activity, body weight, and occupational or academic demands, contribute to the prevalence of LBP. In adolescents, prolonged sitting, improper posture, and excessive screen time are significant contributors, while in the elderly, age-related degenerative changes, decreased muscle strength, and chronic conditions such as osteoporosis play a major role. This study utilizes a literature review and observational analysis to explore the similarities and differences in LBP risk factors across different age groups. The findings suggest that early prevention through proper ergonomics, regular exercise, and healthy lifestyle choices can help reduce the incidence of LBP. Additionally, awareness and education about spinal health should be emphasized in both adolescents and the elderly to mitigate future complications. This research highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, including physiotherapy, medical interventions, and lifestyle modifications, in managing and preventing LBP effectively.

Abstract

Mental health issues among vocational high school (SMK) students are becoming increasingly concerning, affecting their academic performance and overall well-being. This study explores the role of linguistic approaches and language counseling in improving students' mental health at SMK An Naas Binjai. The research employs a qualitative method, incorporating interviews, observations, and document analysis to understand how language influences students’ emotional expression, stress management, and social interactions. Findings indicate that a structured linguistic approach, including expressive writing, guided discussions, and positive communication strategies, helps students articulate their emotions better and develop coping mechanisms. Additionally, language counseling, which integrates psychological support with effective communication techniques, enables students to express their feelings constructively, reducing anxiety and enhancing self-confidence. The study highlights the importance of integrating language-based mental health interventions into the school curriculum to create a supportive learning environment. This research suggests that teachers and counselors should be trained in linguistics-based counseling techniques to provide more effective emotional support. Schools should also incorporate structured language activities that encourage open communication and emotional resilience. The findings contribute to the growing discourse on educational psychology by emphasizing the intersection of language, counseling, and mental health in vocational education settings.
