Abstract

Background: In the era of technology and globalization, social media with youth is something that cannot be separated. However, the surge of information shared easily and sometimes unverified through social media can triggers anxiety, especially among teenager who spent overwhelmingly hours with social media.   Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the impact of time spent on social media on the occurrence of anxiety in youth. Methods: This cross-sectional study at the School of Health in Surakarta, Indonesia, examined into the association between social media usage and the levels of anxiety in college students. The method of simple random sampling from 300 student population was used to select the 213 students who comprised the samples. We used a questionnaire to gathering data from respondents then analyzed it using linear regression analysis for determining the correlation between variables. Results: The results of analysis showed that spending more than two hours a day on social media has a statistically significant effect on anxiety levels (β = 1.75; 95% CI = -0.31-3.19; p = 0.017). Conclusion: These results offer valuable insights for encouraging students to be aware of how their use of social media may affect their mental well-being. Implementing strategies such as establishing time limits on social media, incorporating breaks, and participating in activities that foster mental health, like exercise, hobbies, or offline social interactions, can prove advantageous.

Abstract

Background: The acceleration of booster vaccination targets a minimum of 50 percent people aged 18 years and above while still prioritizing high-risk groups, such as the elderly. This is crucial to extend the protection of the Covid-19 vaccine and ensure that there is no surge in cases in the future. Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the determinant factors of Covid-19 booster acceptance among adolescents aged 18-24 years. Methods: The present study adopted an analytic observation method with a cross-sectional approach. It took place in East Java and involved 1415 adolescents selected through a simple random sampling. The dependent variable was Covid-19 booster acceptance among these adolescents. The independent variables were age, education, gender, and family income. The data were obtained through a questionnaire. They processed using bivariate analysis to investigate the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. To determine the acceptance of adolescents towards Covid-19 booster, it used multivariate logistic regression. Results: Age (OR= 1.71, CI 95% = 1.25 to 2.3, p= 0.001), education (OR= 1.56, CI 95% = 1.18 to 2.08, p= 0.002), gender (OR= 1.51, CI 95% = 0.14 to 1.99, p= 0.004), and family income (OR= 1.36, CI 95% = 0.10 to 1.85, p= 0.052) hold a statistically significant relationship with Covid-19 booster acceptance among adolescents. Conclusion: Age, education, gender, and family income are factors affecting Covid-19 booster acceptance among adolescents. Government and other relevant stakeholders are expected to take comprehensive measures to increase Covid-19 booster vaccination among adolescents aged 18-24 years.

Abstract

Questionnaires are a data collection method that is widely used in health research. Nowadays, the validity test that is often used to assess the quality of questionnaires is the item-total correlation test. This study aims to introduce another method that is often said to be better by experts, namely factor analysis. When compared with item-total correlation analysis, factor analysis has the advantages of: 1) it can reveal the latent structure of the variables being measured; 2) can capture multivariate variations; 3) can test construct validity, namely whether the questionnaire is able to measure concepts or constructs theoretically; 4) can determine how many factors are needed to explain the variance in the data. It was concluded that taking into account its advantages, factor analysis is the best choice for testing the validity of questionnaires in health research.
