OBJECTIVE: To examine differences between high and low catastrophizers in terms of pain, self-medication, coping, age and sex.DESIGN: Data were collected from 651 junior high students. Coping was assessed in response to pain in general. Pain (intensity and frequency) and self-medication were assessed in response to five types of pain: headache, stomach, muscle and/or joint and/or back, ear and/or throat, and menstrual pains.RESULTS: Catastrophizing groups were formed based on scores from the upper and lower thirds of a catastrophizing scale. The high catastrophizing group had higher levels of pain intensity and frequency for all five types of pain, and self-medicated more for headache, and ear and/or throat pain, compared with the low catastrophizing group. High catastrophizers reported taking over-the-counter (OTC) medication more frequently than low catastrophizers. High catastrophizers used information seeking, problem solving, social support seeking, positive self-statements and externalization more often than low catastrophizers. Low catastrophizers used behavioural and cognitive distraction more often than high catastrophizers. High catastrophizers perceived themselves to have more difficulty in dealing with pain and less control over their emotions when in pain than low catastrophizers. There were no significant differences between high and low catastrophizers in terms of controllability of pain. There was a higher percentage of catastrophizers in grade 9 than in grades 7 or 8 and a higher percentage of girls catastrophizing than boys.CONCLUSIONS: More frequent use of coping strategies while experiencing greater pain intensity and frequency may reflect catastrophizers' general inability to reduce pain. Greater use of OTC medications by catastrophizers is likely due to their experiences of more frequent and intense pain.

Think Alouds

Verbal protocol analysis is a methodology that is frequently used in cognitive psychology and education. The use of this method in library and information studies, however, is still very limited. Verbal protocol analysis aims to find cognitive processes while solving a problem. However, concurrent verbal protocols have been seen to cause problems when the task involves a high cognitive load, when the information is difficult to verbalize because of its form, i.e., visual data, or when the processes are automatic for the participants. This paper looks at studies using concurrent verbal protocols and summarizes the findings of this research. Then, this paper compares and contrasts the analysis of 130 concurrent verbal protocols (Think Alouds) gathered from twelve junior high school students from Inuvik, Canada. These Think Alouds are from a case study of the information-seeking processes of junior high students when accessing information from CD-ROM encyclopedias. Preliminary analysis indicates that several of the participants experienced difficulty with Think Alouds. A discussion of possible reasons for these difficulties will be included.

Scientific Approach

The scientific approach in the learning process. There are still some problems in applying the five main procedures of the Scientific Approach in learning activities. Activities must be by the stages of the Scientific Approach. This study aimed to analyze the type of communication between junior high school students during speaking class in junior high school who applied the 2013 curriculum. This study was qualitative using a qualitative design. Data collection is done through direct observation. In data collection, the study used a cellular recorder. In addition, observation sheets were also used to obtain data. Data were taken descriptively. The results of this study indicate that the teacher applies a 15-dimensional Communication Strategy, namely Literal Translation, Code Switching, Pantomime, Message Reduction, Message Substitution, Repetition, Use of Fillers, Verb Strategy Maker, Self Accuracy, Response, Asking Clarification, Asking for Confirmation, Asking for Help, Repetition Request, and Comprehension Comprehension. Of the 15 strategies applied, Response has the highest proportion of events around 23.72%. Meanwhile, students only use seven dimensions of Communication Strategy. Those are Self-Improvement, Self-Improvement, Pantomime, Code Switching, Use of Fillers, Expressing Disappointment, Explanation of Repetition, Pantomime has the highest occurrence. That is a 34.21% occurrence.

One of nonpharmacological treatments for dysmenorrhea is hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy is an easy, fast, effective, and efficient way to treat dysmenorrhea by reaching the subconcious. This research aimed to identify the effect of hypnotherapy on dysmenorrhea in junior high school students. This research used a pre-experimental method with one group pretest- posttest design. The population of this research was 117 students and 20 students were chosen as sample with purposive sampling technique. Data were collected from respondents using Verbal Descriptor Scale (VDS) instrument. Data were analyzed in two steps, univariate and bivariate with t-dependent test. The results showed that the average value of dysmenorrhea before intervention is 6.5 and after intervention is 1.35. Hypnotherapy was found to have an effect on dysmenorrhea (t=17,596, p-value 0,001). It was suggested to the school that they should conduct nonpharmacological interventions such as hypnotherapy as treatment of dysmennorhea.Key words: Dysmenorrhea primer, hypnotherapy, SMP.
