Abstract

This study investigates the influence of Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM2.5) air pollution on adolescent engagement in physical activities, which are critical for their physical and social development. Utilizing the PRECEDE framework, this cross-sectional study identifies key factors affecting adolescents' willingness to participate in physical activities during periods of high PM2.5 concentration. A total of 227 adolescents completed an online self-administered questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and Chi-Square tests were employed for data analysis, with statistical significance set at p < .05. The analysis revealed that two factors—academic discipline (χ² = 12.10, p = .033) and knowledge of safe physical activity during elevated PM2.5 periods (χ² = 13.91, p = .000)—significantly influence adolescents' engagement in outdoor activities despite pollution risks. These findings suggest that adolescents with certain educational backgrounds and greater knowledge of protective measures are more likely to remain active during high pollution episodes. This study underscores the need for tailored educational interventions to foster safe physical activity practices among adolescents in polluted environments. The results contribute to understanding how educational and knowledge-based factors can mitigate the adverse effects of PM2.5 pollution on adolescent lifestyles, offering insights for policy development aimed at promoting health-conscious behaviors in urban settings with elevated pollution levels.

Abstract

Background: Adolescence is a period of transition from childhood to adulthood. One of the significant changes during this period is changes in behavior related to sexual life. Adolescent sexual behavior that is almost identical to adolescence is dating behavior. Dating relationships are colored by cases of violence, especially by men. According to UN Women (2021) shows that at least 736 million women, and 87% of them are committed by people closest to them, including dating violence. Family Functioning is the quality of relationships between family members, one of which is the role of parents in preventing dating violence because parents are the first place of socialization before children socialize with the outside environment. Therefore, this study aims to explore the impact of Family Functioning on dating violence behavior among adolescents. Methods: This study employed a case study approach. Data collection was performed between November 2023 and March 2024 through in-depth interviews with two groups: one adolescent who had experienced dating violence and another who had not. Results: The finding found that adolescent who experienced dating violence came from dysfunctional families, while adolescent who did not experience dating violence were from families with higher levels of family functioning. Conclusions: The study indicates that adolescents from dysfunctional families are more prone to dating violence, while those from well-functioning families are less affected. This emphasizes the critical role of family dynamics in adolescent experiences. Future research should develop interventions to enhance family functioning and examine these dynamics across various cultural settings.
