Abstract

Migrant university students living in boarding houses face significant challenges in maintaining healthy lifestyles due to academic pressure, environmental changes, and limited access to health-supporting facilities. Health literacy plays a crucial role in enabling students to manage their health independently by accessing, understanding, evaluating, and applying health information. This study aims to analyze the role of health literacy in shaping self-management skills and healthy lifestyle behaviors among migrant students residing in boarding houses. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed using a structured online questionnaire distributed to 50 migrant students. The instrument measured dimensions of health literacy, physical health behaviors, mental health awareness, and self-management practices. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to identify behavioral trends and literacy patterns. The findings indicate that while students demonstrate relatively high access to digital health information, the application of health knowledge in daily practices such as balanced diet, regular physical activity, and adequate sleep remains inconsistent. Academic workload and economic constraints emerged as major barriers to healthy behavior. The study concludes that students’ health literacy is predominantly at a functional level and has not yet fully translated into sustainable self-management practices. These findings highlight the need for targeted health education interventions that promote critical and applied health literacy among migrant students.

Abstract

The preservation of local culture faces increasing challenges amid globalization, digitalization, and shifting youth lifestyles. Cultural literacy plays a crucial role in shaping young people’s awareness, attitudes, and participation in safeguarding cultural heritage. This study aims to analyze the level of cultural literacy and the extent of youth participation in preserving local culture. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed, involving young respondents aged 18–25 years. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire measuring cultural literacy dimensions—cultural knowledge, cultural awareness, critical understanding, and cultural participation. The findings indicate that most respondents demonstrate moderate to high levels of cultural literacy, particularly in cultural awareness and symbolic understanding. However, active participation in cultural preservation activities remains relatively limited and tends to be symbolic rather than practical. The results suggest that while young people possess basic cultural knowledge, gaps persist between cultural understanding and concrete participatory actions. Strengthening cultural literacy through education, digital media engagement, and community-based cultural programs is essential to foster sustainable youth participation in local cultural preservation.

Abstract

Adolescence is a critical developmental stage characterized by heightened vulnerability to social influence, particularly peer pressure and unregulated social interaction. This study examines the influence of free social interaction and peer pressure on adolescent behavior in Helvetia Village, Labuhan Deli District. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and documentation involving adolescents, parents, and community representatives. The findings indicate that adolescents are increasingly exposed to unregulated social environments, manifested in late-night socializing, experimentation with cigarettes and alcohol, school absenteeism, and excessive engagement with social media trends. Peer pressure emerges as a dominant factor shaping these behaviors through mechanisms of persuasion, conformity, and fear of social exclusion. The study further reveals that weak parental supervision and limited community control exacerbate adolescents’ susceptibility to negative peer influence. As a follow-up intervention, a structured counseling program was implemented to enhance adolescents’ awareness of social risks and develop assertive skills in resisting negative peer pressure. The results underscore the importance of integrated efforts involving families, schools, and communities in fostering healthy adolescent development and preventing social deviance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the level of digital health literacy among migrant students living in boarding houses near campus and its association with healthy lifestyle behaviors. This study employed a quantitative approach using a survey design. Data were collected from migrant university students residing in boarding houses through a questionnaire based on the digital health literacy framework, encompassing four core dimensions: access, understand, appraise, and apply. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to examine patterns of digital health literacy and health-related behaviors. The findings indicate that most students demonstrate strong abilities in accessing and understanding digital health information, particularly through the internet and social media platforms. Students also show a relatively high level of awareness in verifying health information sources. However, a proportion of respondents remain uncertain when appraising the credibility of digital health information. In terms of application, the majority of students report engaging in positive health behaviors, including maintaining personal and environmental hygiene, regulating diet and hydration, performing light physical activity, and adopting adaptive coping strategies to support mental health. This study concludes that digital health literacy plays a significant role in shaping healthy lifestyle behaviors among migrant university students. Strengthening evaluative and applicative competencies through targeted digital health literacy education and campus-based health promotion programs is essential to support sustainable health behaviors in the digital era.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the level of understanding among Generation Z in using social media wisely and safely, particularly in relation to digital ethics, account security, information verification skills, and positive social media engagement. The research employed a descriptive quantitative method using a Likert-scale questionnaire consisting of 20 statements distributed online to 51 respondents. The data were analyzed using frequency percentages to identify response tendencies for each indicator. The findings show that respondents demonstrate a high level of understanding, especially in polite communication, careful information sharing, awareness of digital risks, and the ability to maintain privacy and account security. However, several aspects remain weak, including limiting social media usage time and the habit of reporting negative content. These results indicate that Generation Z possesses good digital literacy, yet the application of healthy digital behavior is not fully optimal. Therefore, more practical and continuous digital literacy education is needed to ensure that the understanding gained can be consistently applied in daily digital activities.
