Abstract

Adolescence is a vulnerable period marked by rapid changes and increasing mental health challenges, which can significantly affect academic performance. In Jakarta, this issue is exacerbated by academic pressure and urban stressors. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between mental health and academic performance among adolescents in Jakarta. A cross-sectional, quantitative study was conducted involving 14 purposively selected 8th and 9th-grade students from MTs Umdatur Rasikien, East Jakarta. Mental health was assessed using the Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) before and after counseling interventions, while academic performance was measured by the number of subjects graded “C” or below. Individual and group counseling sessions were provided over two weeks. Data were analyzed using paired-sample t-tests and Pearson correlation in SPSS 25. Post-intervention SRQ-20 scores significantly decreased (p = 0.000), indicating improved mental health. Eight out of 14 students showed better academic performance, while five worsened. Correlation analysis revealed a weak, non-significant negative association between post-test mental health scores and academic performance (r = -0.168, p = 0.565), suggesting complex and indirect effects. Counseling interventions effectively improved mental health, though their direct impact on academic performance was limited, emphasizing the need for integrative, multi-faceted school-based support.

Abstract

Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is a squamous cell cancer that originates from the epithelial lining of the nasopharynx. The issue of salted fish consumption is a concern because the salt preservation process can produce carcinogenic nitrosamine compounds. The nitrosamine content is formed from the reaction between nitrite, nitrate, and secondary amines, which has the potential to cause cell changes to become malignant if consumed in the long term, especially from an early age. This study aimed to systematically review the consumption pattern of salted fish based on age, frequency of consumption, and its potential risk of NPC and to identify gaps in the results of previous studies. The method used was a systematic review by searching the literature on online databases such as Scopus, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Garuda. A total of 126 articles were obtained, and 11 articles met the criteria. The results of the analysis showed that there are differences in salted fish consumption patterns based on age and frequency that may increase the risk of NPC, especially in individuals who started consuming in childhood and high amounts. This study highlights the need for further research that considers genetic aspects, types of salted fish, and processing methods in different regions to clarify the causal relationship.

Abstract

The problem of e-cigarette (vape) use in Indonesia is increasingly worrying, especially among adolescents and young people. The assumption that vaping is safer than conventional cigarettes has contributed to the increase in young users. This study aims to describe the characteristics of vape users in Jayapura City with a quantitative descriptive design and cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted in 4 sub-districts with a total sample of 300 people, selected by accidental sampling of vape users in various cafes. Data were collected through interviews using a questionnaire and analyzed univariately with SPSS. The results showed that the majority of users were aged 15-24 years (51.4%), male (69.3%), highly educated (52.7%), Protestant (59.3%), Non-Papuan (76.0%), unmarried (85.3%), and lived with parents (52.3%). The most common duration of use was 3-4 years (48.3%), the most commonly used device was Box Mod (36.3%), and most used less than three types of liquid (65.7%). These results suggest the need for education specifically targeted at young and highly educated groups regarding the long-term health risks of e-cigarette use.

The total population was 429 in all classes VII, VIII and IX, with a sample size of 94 who met the inclusion criteria. Data collection used a questionnaire instrument that was filled in directly by the respondent. Descriptive data analysis uses frequency counts and percentages, while relationship analysis with the chi-square test with a degree of significance of 5%. The results of the research data showed that more than half behaved well on personal hygiene during menstruation 79 students (84%), had high knowledge 72 students (76.6%), thought that Water, Hygiene and Sanitation (WASH) facilities were adequate during menstruation as many as 55 students (58.5%), and received peer support 62 students (66%). The results of the relationship test stated that there was a significant relationship between personal hygiene behaviour and the variables of knowledge (p value= 0.045) and peer support (p value= 0.044), but there was no significant relationship on the variable of school facilities related to water, hygiene, and sanitation (p value= 0.874). It is recommended that there should be a continuous health programme between increasing knowledge and increasing peer support, so that the problem of female reproductive organ hygiene can be resolved.

Routine education on personal hygiene and the provision and supervision of proper waste disposal facilities by the government and health centers are recommended to prevent dermatitis in the community.
