Abstract

Background: Adolescence represents a transitional phase between childhood and adulthood, which spans from ages 10 to 19. One of the health issues faced by adolescents is overweight. Overweight continues to be a global concern, enduring as a persistent health challenge for low-income countries, including Indonesia. Research conducted in Manado City shows that approximately 14.9% of adolescents are overweight. The impact of being overweight can significantly affect an individual's quality of life. Studies have demonstrated that overweight adolescents tend to have a lower quality of life compared to their counterparts with normal body weight. This phenomenon arises from weight-based victimization experienced by overweight adolescents.Aim: To ascertain the quality of life among overweight adolescents at SMA Unklab Airmadidi, North Minahasa Regency.Methods: This research employs a descriptive research design with a cross-sectional approach, involving 364 respondents, including 63 overweight students.Results: The findings of this research show that overweight adolescents have moderate quality of life in the domains of physical health, psychology, and social aspects. However, in the environmental domain, the quality of life is good.Conclusion: The majority of overweight adolescents have moderate quality of life in the domains of physical health, psychology, and social well-being. Conversely, they exhibit good quality of life in the environmental domain.Keywords: adolescents; overweight; quality of life

Abstract

Background: Unintended pregnancy among adolescents remains a major public health concern both globally and in Indonesia. In Manado City, recent data on adolescent behaviour related to the prevention of unintended pregnancy are still limited. Aim: This study aimed to describe adolescent behaviour regarding the prevention of unintended pregnancy in senior high schools in Manado City. Methods: A quantitative descriptive study with a cross-sectional design was conducted. A total of 403 students were selected through cluster random sampling from two schools: SMA A and SMA B, Manado. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability (Cronbach’s alpha: knowledge = 0.931; attitude = 0.736). Data were analysed using univariate methods. Results: Overall, 76.2% of adolescents demonstrated good knowledge, 22.8% had sufficient knowledge, and 1.0% had poor knowledge regarding the prevention of unintended pregnancy. With respect to attitudes, 70.7% of respondents exhibited a positive attitude, while 29.3% showed a negative attitude. Conclusion: The majority of adolescents in Manado City possess good knowledge and hold positive attitudes toward the prevention of unintended pregnancy.

Abstract

Background: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is the leading cause of cervical cancer, which is a global health problem for women, especially in Indonesia. Cervical cancer ranks fourth globally and second in Indonesia as the most common cancer in women in 2022. HPV vaccination is an effective primary prevention and is part of the WHO's global cervical cancer elimination strategy. HPV immunisation in Indonesia was integrated into BIAS in 2023. Medical students are among the high-risk age groups for HPV infection and play a role as future healthcare professionals in raising public awareness about cervical cancer, HPV, and cervical cancer prevention. Aim: To determine the status of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and the inhibiting factors among female students at the Faculty of Medicine, Sam Ratulangi University. Methods: Descriptive research with a quantitative approach and a cross-sectional design through the distribution of a Google Forms questionnaire to 276 female students from the 2025 cohort of the Faculty of Medicine at Unsrat. The analysis used is univariate analysis. Results: A total of 114 respondents (87.8%) had not yet received the HPV vaccine, while 20 respondents (12.2%) had.
