And Coping

This study explored cyberbullying, coping resources and coping styles in a sample of 107 10- to 12-year-old Australian primary school students. Approximately 13% of participants reported experiencing single episodes of cyberbullying victimisation, while almost half of the participants (48.6%) reported being repeatedly cyberbullied. Technological responses employed by cyberbullying victims included blocking, deleting, and changing passwords. Those who reported a single episode of cyberbullying had higher levels of self-esteem compared to the never cyberbullied or repeatedly cyberbullied groups, but there were no significant differences in attachment, locus of control, and coping styles. These findings have important implications for teachers, parents, school psychologists, and researchers in terms of defining and operationalising cyberbullying, and developing cyberbullying interventions for primary school children.

Primary school students are in a period of continued growth and development after the pre-school age period. However several studies have shown that children at this age are vulnerable to under- and over-nutrition, which can interfere in their learning process and school achievement. The objective of this activity was to develop a nutrition education module for primary school students aged 8-12 years. This activity was held on January – August 2018 into Primary Schools of Bogor. The steps of this activity included: 1) to establish of technical working group (TWG); 2) to review existing nutrition education for primary school students; and 3) to develop student module and workbook (SMW) for nutrition education. The TWG which were formed, consists of school principles, nutrition professional society (Food and Nutrition Society of Indonesia), university staffs (Bogor Agricultural University and SAHID University Jakarta), and local government (Bogor Education Office). This activity was done collaboration with SEA-PHN. Currently, there is no activity on nutrition education at these schools, neither teacher guide for nutrition education for primary school students. The TWG developed nine topics of SMW were developed, namely balance diet and my plate, active and healthy life, cereals, fruit and vegetable, protein food, limit sugar salt and fat, choosing safe and nutritious food, food label, and summary. The SMW was designed colorfully and interestingly. Prior to final version of SMW, it was assessed to be used by school children. In conclusion, the SMW could be used to educate primary school students on nutrition.

ObjectivesTo examine the relationship between school playground size and total physical activity (PA), fitness and fundamental movement skills (FMS) of primary school students.DesignCross-sectional ecological analysis.Setting43 primary schools in New South Wales, Australia.ParticipantsData were from 5238 students, aged 5 to 12 years, participating in the Schools Physical Activity and Nutrition Survey.Outcome measuresSelf (for age ≥11 years) and parent (for age <11 years) report of PA (meeting PA recommendations and number of days meeting recommendations), objectively measured FMS and cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness.ResultsAssociations between playground space and measures of PA and fitness were mostly non-linear and moderated by loose equipment. Students in schools with no loose equipment showed a weak association between space and meeting PA recommendations (self-report). In schools with equipment, students’ predicted probability of meeting PA recommendations increased sharply between 15 m2 and 25 m2 per student from 0.04 (95% CI: 0.01 to 0.08) to 0.30 (95% CI: 0.14 to 0.46), but at 30 m2 returned to levels comparable to students in schools with no equipment (0.18, 95% CI: 0.07 to 0.28). For cardiorespiratory fitness, in schools with no loose equipment, probabilities for being in the healthy cardiovascular fitness zone varied between 0.66 and 0.77, showing no consistent trend. Students in schools with loose equipment had a predicted probability of being in the healthy fitness zone of 0.56 (95% CI: 0.41 to 0.71) at 15 m2 per student, which rose to 0.75 (95% CI: 0.63 to 0.86) at 20 m2 per student. There was no relationship between space and FMS.ConclusionsSchool space guidelines need to incorporate sufficient playground space for students. Our study provides evidence supporting better PA outcomes with increasing space up to 25 m2 per student, and access to loose equipment, however further research is required to determine precise thresholds for minimum space. Intersectoral planning and cooperation is required to meet the needs of growing school populations.

Background and objective: Environmental school is the best setting for unintentional injury which is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children worldwide. So, emergency instances need first aid. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of child to child approach educational method on knowledge and practices of selected first aid measures among primary school children.Methods: Research design: A quasi-experimental research design was applied for this study. Setting: This study was carried out in two governmental primary schools in El-Massara Administration, Cairo Governorate, Egypt (Abobakr Elsedeak and Anas Ben Malek). Sample: A multi-stage random sample was used. The total number of children was 460 (both male and female). Tools: Two tools were used in this study: (1) An interview questionnaire to collect data about the studied children's socio-demographic characteristics, and their knowledge about first aid. (2) An observational checklist for assessing the studied children practices regarding first aid.Results: The current study revealed that, there were statistically significant increases in mean scores of all items as well as the total score of knowledge and practices after application of the child to child approach. There was a statistically significant positive association between knowledge and practice levels; good level of knowledge with adequate practice level showed higher prevalence (75.6%) than good level of knowledge with inadequate practice level (24.4%). Fair level of knowledge with adequate practice level showed higher prevalence (66.9%) than fair level of knowledge with inadequate practice level (33.1%).Conclusions: The application of the child to child approach increased children’s good level of knowledge and adequate practices related to first aid measures. The study recommended that the use of innovative methods of health education in teaching first aid for other sectors as in preparatory school students, as well as child-to-mothers and child-to-community, to promote children’s health.

Objective: Although Bangladesh is rapidly gaining economic development, education and health related indices are not equally developed in all parts of the country. The objective of the study was to compare the socio-economic and health status of students in public and private primary schools. Methods: This was a cross sectional study conducted among 99 public and 128 private primary school children during 2018. Two public and two private primary schools were selected purposively from 2 villages of Chandpur. Subjects were divided into 2 groups: public primary school students and private primary school students. During a ‘free health check-up and treatment program’, guardians were asked to participate in the study. After taking informed written consent, students and guardians were asked about demographic, socioeconomic (such as, education, occupation, monthly income), and health related factors (such as, antenatal checkup, mode of delivery, immunization, deworming); then, anthropometric measurements (height, weight) and physical examinations of the children were done. Comparison was done between groups. Results: On socioeconomic status, monthly family income was more and paternal education was higher in private-school students than the public-school students. On health indices, antenatal care (ANC), Caesarian section (CS), living standard, use of sanitary latrine, and nutritional status of private school students were significantly better than public-school students. However, Public school students had higher deworming rate. Conclusion: Students in private schools had better socio-economic and health status in Bangladesh. Health-related indices are comparable to national parameters. It is recommended that socio-economic and education status needs further improvements for sustainable health and well-being.

Program Data

The prevalence of school children who skipped breakfast is ranged from 17%to 59%. This fact shows how low the awareness of adequate nutrition in school students is. The aims of this program were to encourage breakfast habit among primary school children (PSC). The breakfast education program was conducted at five primary schools in Purwokerto through trained facilitators, include teachers, in collaboration with PERGIZI PANGAN Indonesia and PT Indofood CBP Sukses Makmur Tbk from 2015 to 2017. The theme of this program was “Healthy Breakfast and Safe Snack for Healthier and Smarter Generation”. The number of students participated in this program every year was about 1250 PSC from 3rd grade to 6th grade. The material given for breakfast education program was about healthy breakfast and safe snack, which was bundled as an interesting comic. The breakfast education was given every year, in which a portion of fried noodle with egg and green vegetable plus mineral water and milk was given to each PSC at the day of breakfast program. Data on breakfast habit of PSC were collected at every year before education started. The results showed that 15 teachers for each school already trained and they are expected to be future healthy breakfast educator in each school. The percentage of PSC had breakfast in 2015 was 55.7% then increased to be 67.9% in 2016 and 75.3% in 2017. This implies that a school breakfast education using comic and trained teachers improve PSC breakfast behavior.

The purpose of the study is to measure the effects of bilingualism on conflict regulation, cognitive control and recognition among primary school children. This study is a description study on primary school students in the city of Parse Abab, the branch of Ardabil, Iran that is studying in the school year 94-95. The sample consists of 120 students which include 60 boys and 60 girls. The samples were selected by randomly. In this study the questionnaires and tasks based on cognition and recognition was used. The questionnaires were collected from both groups were analyzed by SPSS software and SPSS software was used to measure mean, median, standard deviation, significance level, etc., and to analyze the hypotheses of variance by (MANOVA). The results showed that the bilingualism has direct effect on the conflict regulation, cognitive control and recognition among primary school children. There is significant difference among bilingual and monolingual students performance. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the temporal aspects of bilingualism in relation to the conflict regulation, cognitive control and recognition of students in primary schools in bilingual areas. Other studies try to examines the effect of bilingualism on only one of the variables but this study consider three variable in order to show clearly its effect on each of the variables separately.

This study is a two year follow-up of previous longitudinal research which investigated the effects of spinal cord injury (SCI) on perceptions of control, self-esteem and coping styles over the first year of SCI. Persons with SCI and a demographically matched able-bodied control group completed standardised questionnaires on four occasions over two years. The instruments included the Locus of Control of Behaviour Scale (LCB), Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale, and an adapted Mental Adjustment to Cancer Scale (MAC), which measures coping styles, including fighting spirit, helplessness/hopelessness and fatalism. Results obtained in the first year were replicated in the two year data, except for the LCB Scale. After one year, the SCI group were found to perceive their life to be externally controlled, to be lower in self-esteem, and have more helpless/hopeless and fatalistic attitudes than the controls. There were no differences in self esteem and coping styles after two years for the SCI group. However, locus of control fluctuated over the two years, though there was a trend for the SCI group to be more externally focussed. There were no significant interactions between group and time. Implications for the adjustment of SCI persons are discussed.
