Objective: The present study aims to assess the prevalence of suicidal ideation and identify associations with lifestyle. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted on 971 adolescents (14 to 18 years), of both sexes, attending public schools in Florianópolis, Brazil. Suicidal ideation was the outcome variable, assessed by the question "During the last 12 months, have you, at any time, seriously considered committing suicide (taking your own life)?" The response options were "yes" and "no." Lifestyle was assessed using the Fantastic Lifestyle questionnaire. Total and domain scores were treated as independent variables. Results: The overall prevalence of suicidal ideation was 22.1% (girls = 30.1%, boys = 15.0%, p < 00.5). In both boys and girls, the domains Family and Friends (OR: 0.86; IC95%=0.76-0.97; and OR: 0.75; IC95%=0.68-0.84), Tobacco and Toxics (OR: 0.80; IC95%=0.72-0.90; and OR: 0.71; IC95%=0.64-0.79), Sleep, Seatbelt, Stress, and Safe Sex (OR: 0.87; IC95=0.81-0.94; and OR: 0.87; IC95%=0.82-0.92), Type of Behavior (OR=0,72; IC95%=0.62-0.84; and OR: 0.74; IC95%=0.66-0.83), Insight (OR: 0.65; IC95%=0.58-0.72; and OR: 0.63; IC95%=0.57-0.69), and the overall lifestyle score were negatively associated with suicidal ideation (OR: 0.1; IC95%=0.84-0.94; and OR: 0.92; IC95%=0.90-0.94). Furthermore, in girls, there was a negative association of the Alcohol domain (OR: 0.85; IC95%=0.76-0.96) with suicidal ideation. Conclusion: The prevalence of suicidal ideation is alarming, affecting 2 out of 10 adolescents. Adolescents with lower lifestyle scores, as well as those with poorer scores in behavioral, psychological, and social domains, had the highest likelihood of experiencing suicidal ideation.

This study explores the relationship between procrastination and declining healthy habits among adolescents, a topic lacking systematic reviews in the existing literature. The primary purpose is to lay the groundwork for promoting mental health and preventing procrastination as risky behavior. This systematic review examined five areas related to procrastination and its influence on healthy lifestyle habits in adolescents: technology and procrastination; sleep and procrastination; academic procrastination; and the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings highlight that technology misuse is linked with procrastination; adolescents tend to procrastinate when going to sleep; academic procrastination negatively impacts long-term educational achievements, and the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated this phenomenon. Ultimately, it is concluded that procrastination is related to all these aspects and has detrimental effects on adolescents’ physical and psychological development.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact not only on the infected population, but also on education and, above all, on the health of students. Factors such as quarantine, virtual classes and workload may be predisposing to pathologies such as Academic burnout syndrome. Objective: The objective of this study is to identify the prevalence of Academic burnout Syndrome (ABS) and the factors associated with its occurrence in surgical instrumentation students in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in surgical instrumentation students of a private institution in the city of Bogota. The MBI - SS (Maslach Burnout Inventory – Student Survey) and variables of interest were used. Descriptive statistics, OR (Odds Ratios) and a logistic regression model were calculated, as well as Spearman correlations. Results: A prevalence of SBOA of 75.1% was identified, physical activity is presented as a protective factor OR=0.22 CI 95% (0.064 - 0.784) p = 0.007, a negative correlation was also found between exercise and dimensions such as burnout (p = -0.294; p

Introduction: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is the main functional gastrointestinal disorder, manifesting through various symptoms lacking a clear organic cause. This condition poses a health concern given its considerable costs and impact on quality of life. Objective: To determine the prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome among medical students at Fundación Universitaria San Martín, Sabaneta campus, as of November 2016. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted, involving FUSM medical students enrolled in the program for the 2016-2 period. The prevalence of the syndrome was determined by means of the Rome III criteria through a self-administered survey. Univariate and bivariate analyses were performed to investigate associations. Results: A prevalence of 17.92% for IBS was found among 173 respondents, with the mixed pattern being the most frequent (77.41%). There was a potential association between IBS and generalized anxiety disorder, the presence of at least one gastrointestinal symptom, and alcohol consumption at least once a month. Conclusions: The prevalence of IBS is 17.92%, suggesting a potential association with anxiety. However, major depression does not appear to be related to IBS in this study. Further research is necessary to explore the connection between habits and lifestyles that include alcohol and cigarette consumption.

Online games have experienced significant growth in recent years, with gaming becoming a popular form of entertainment for people of all ages. However, their impact on cognition, especially among vulnerable groups such as students with disabilities, is a topic that requires deeper exploration. The objectives of this study are twofold: firstly, to understand the typology of risk players (non-risk players, players with problems, and pathological players); and secondly, to compare cognitive distortions among students with problematic profiles. Both objectives will be analyzed based on the presence or absence of disability. A total of 704 students from various Spanish universities (135 with disabilities and 569 without disabilities), aged between 18 and 38, participated in the study by completing the Gamblers Belief Questionnaire (GBQ), aimed at measuring cognitive distortions related to gambling problems, as well as the Massachusetts Gambling Screen questionnaire, aimed at measuring gambling addiction. The results indicate a higher percentage of students with disabilities showing a greater risk profile for addiction. Additionally, this group of students exhibits more cognitive distortions. These findings underscore the need for a comprehensive approach to addressing online gaming addiction and cognitive distortions among university students, with and without disabilities. Preventive measures are necessary, such as education on responsible technology use and the promotion of alternative activities. Moreover, specific intervention strategies need to be developed, including access to psychological health services for this student population.

This study aimed to determine the influence of the outdoor education learning models and mental toughness on cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) levels. A quasi-experimental method was used, employing a 2x2 factorial design. The 2x2 factorial design in this study involved two learning models: the TGT (Team Games Tournament) and STAD (Student Teams Achievement Division), along with two levels of mental toughness: high and low. The sample consisted of 80 students from Jakarta State University, enrolled in recreational sports courses. The subjects in this study were given the TGT and STAD learning models over a period of 9 weeks. The tests administered during the pretest measured cardiorespiratory fitness using the Bleep Test and mental toughness using a questionnaire. The results showed that both the TGT and STAD outdoor education models have a statistically significant impact on students' CRF levels (p

Objective: Evaluate high school students' knowledge about basic life support and analyze the associations between the level of knowledge and sociodemographic and academic variables. Method: Quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional, and correlational study. The sample consisted of 59 high school students from a Secondary School in the metropolitan area of Porto - Portugal. Descriptive analyses, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and t test (or non-parametric tests when assumptions were not met) were used. Results: 35 (59.3%) had basic life support training, and 52 (88.1%) were interested in undergoing the training. Only seven (11.9%) were aware of an automatic external defibrillator and 14 (23.7%) identified when to seek specialized help. Conclusion: Knowledge about basic life support can contribute to achieving better outcomes in situations of cardiorespiratory arrest, and students should increase their skills in this area by using training in the school context.

This study aims to explore students’ minority experiences while participating in religious education (RE). An interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was used to answer the objective questions. Data were collected using the undergraduates’ diaries and in-depth interviews with 9 senior high school students which were selected by purposive sampling. Thematic analysis was used to categorize the information obtained. The result showed the three major themes that emerge in the IPA analysis, which include the strength of faith, basic knowledge, and a sense of religion. The finding interprets that informants have complete belief in the God they worship because of the basic understanding of religion that has been obtained from the family, community, and social media, even informants’ religious participation and activities have reached the level of sense. This study explains how the informants stand firm in worshipping their God despite receiving RE in various schools. This study concludes that even though informants are in a minority environment, they can still get religious education that is appropriate to their conditions through diverse activities and upholding the values of differences.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to assess the association between indicators of emotional distress and dispositional mindfulness in health students at a Brazilian federal public university. Methods: a cross-sectional study, developed with university students in the health area of a public institution from May to June 2022. In the analysis, multiple linear regression was used using SPSS software. Results: the sample was mostly female, ≤ 22 years old, non-white, studying the first semesters, with a higher prevalence for the medicine course. Students presented moderate dispositional mindfulness scores. It was observed that the variables of stress, depression and current suicide risk were associated with the capacity for mindfulness. Conclusions: knowing the indicators of emotional distress that are related to the potential of mindfulness can contribute as a situational diagnosis to better design strategies that promote the improvement of emotional indicators of health students.

Objective: To analyze the factors associated with alcohol use among Brazilian school adolescents. Method: This analytical cross-sectional study uses secondary data from the 2019 National School Health Survey edition conducted by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. The research evaluated 125,123 adolescents through the application of a questionnaire. For the final model, multiple logistic regression was used. Results: Lifetime cigarette use was strongly associated with alcohol use (Odds Ratio=3.25; 95% Confidence Interval 2.28-4.62), followed by friends' alcohol use in the last 30 days (Odds Ratio=2.15; 95% Confidence Interval 1.52-3.05) and having parents who smoke (Odds Ratio=1.29; 95% Confidence Interval 1.13-1.48). Conclusion: Integrated actions and public policies involving young people and adolescents are important to ensure the health and well-being of healthy adults.

The article discusses the recognition of social competencies of students of science and social majors to do voluntary work. The theoretical concept on which the research is based is the concept of social competencies by J. Skrzypczak, who sees them as “the ability to do something, depending on the familiarity of knowledge, skills and abilities included in it, as well as on the degree of conviction about the need of using that ability.” The main purpose of the research is to diagnose the social competencies of students of science and social majors to do voluntary work and to identify the differences between groups in this respect. The method of diagnostic survey was chosen for the purposes of the study. Research has shown slight differences between the students of science and social majors. They only concern the assessment of one's own level of motivation to help.

Purpose: Investigate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the higher education through the perception of Brazilian undergraduates. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 1006 students of public and private universities. Data collection happened between September-December 2020 with an online questionnaire addressing socioeconomic characteristics, use of anxiolytics/antidepressants and issues related to the course. Data were analyzed using Poisson regression (α = 5%). Results: Most students (68.7%) perceived an impact on their education and reported a high satisfaction with the course (62.2%). Age (OR = 0.98, 95%CI: 0.96 – 0.99), residing in the northern region of the country (OR= 1.26, 95%CI: 1.06 – 1.50), enrollment at a public university (OR= 1.28, 95%CI: 1.17 – 1.40) and lower satisfaction with the course (OR= 1.13, 95%CI: 1.04 – 1.23) were associated with the perception of impact. Regarding self-rated performance in the courses, 41.7% students reported a very low/low performance. A family income of up to two times the monthly minimum wage (OR= 0.68, 95% CI: 0.48 – 0.97), residing in the northeastern region of the country (OR= 0.68, 95% CI: 0.48 – 0.97) and lower satisfaction with the course (OR= 0.36, 95% CI: 0.23 – 0.53) were associated with this outcome. Conclusions: The pandemic negatively affected two thirds of undergraduates, especially the younger, from the northern region, public universities and those less satisfied with the course. Nearly forty percent of students rated their academic performance during the pandemic as very low/low, especially those with a low family income, from the northeastern region and those less satisfied with the course.

Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has been a global epidemic since the 1980s, with the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS (UNAIDS) aiming to eliminate it as a public health threat by 2030. As of 2017, 36.9 million individuals were living with HIV worldwide, making HIV infection a leading cause of death globally. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective biomedical prevention method that can reduce the risk of HIV transmission by over 90% when taken consistently. This review examines the awareness and knowledge of PrEP among students, focusing on variations across gender, race, sexual orientation, study type, university type, and country of residence. A literature search conducted in the MEDLINE database between February and March 2024 identified 26 relevant studies published in the last ten years. Findings reveal significant disparities in PrEP awareness and knowledge, influenced by factors such as field of study and geographic location. While healthcare students generally show higher awareness levels, gaps remain, particularly among non-healthcare students and in different regions. Targeted educational initiatives are crucial to enhance PrEP acceptance and utilization. Addressing these gaps is essential for improving HIV prevention efforts and ultimately achieving UNAIDS' 2030 objective.

When it comes to managing sports areas and facilities, sports managers now have a variety of tasks and functions. The study topic “Sport Management - Perceiving the Phenomenological Space of Sport” aims to obtain perceptions on the phenomenology of sport, from a multidimensional perspective, on the part of students in the third year of the Degree in Sport Management at the Autonomous University of Lisbon, curricular year 2023/2024, with a particular focus on the lines of thought and action within the scope of sports facilities and spaces, taking into account a set of factors: The sports manager; phenomenology; the phenomenological space of sport; and future difficulties. According to the sociodemographic research, pupils differed little in terms of age, gender, household, place of residence, and nationality. A quantitative descriptive methodology was employed. When asked about sports spaces as elements that enhance sport, the results showed that the opinion is widespread among the universe of students under study, and that these should be thought of and designed as elements that generate accessible environments, services, programmes, and technology. to everyone, based on fundamental and universal principles. Furthermore, giving sports managers, designers, and planners of existing and future sports places a fresh perspective and thinking about the future. The goal is to pique interest in the investigation and study of potential themes, as well as to draw attention to issues common to phenomenology, emotional behaviour, and the perception of sporting performance versus the use of sports spaces, as presented by philosophers, psychologists, architects, and managers who are leaders in this field of sports management.

Resumen: Introducción: en el contexto actual, las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC) desempeñan un papel crucial en todos los ámbitos de la sociedad, incluido el campo de la educación. Especialmente en las ciencias de la salud, el acceso y conocimiento de las TIC se han vuelto fundamentales para la formación y desarrollo de los futuros profesionales de la salud en Perú. Sin embargo, persisten disparidades en el acceso y la adquisición de habilidades digitales entre los estudiantes de Ciencias de la Salud en el país. Métodos: se realizó un estudio analítico de corte transversal utilizando datos secundarios de la Encuesta Nacional de Hogares sobre Condiciones de Vida y Pobreza (ENAHO) 2022, elaborada por el Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática (INEI). Para el presente estudio, se consideró una submuestra de participantes de estudiantes de Ciencias de la Salud considerando criterios de inclusión y exclusión con un poder estadístico de 81% (p301, p301A, p301B, p308B y p316C). Resultados: de un total de 600 estudiantes, 41,2% fue de universidades públicas y 58,8% fue de universidades privadas. La mayoría de los participantes eran del sexo femenino (78%), en cuanto a las edades, encontramos que 290 alumnos pertenecen al grupo de edad de 17–20 años (40,7%); 222 alumnos de 21 a 25 años (36%) y 148 alumnos que tienen mas de 25 años de edad (23,45%). Asimismo, la mayoría estaba entre el 1.er y 3.er año de estudio (54,7%).Hubo diferencias significativas en el acceso a TIC en estudiantes de Ciencias de la Salud de universidades públicas y privadas según las siguientes variables categóricas: tener equipamiento (p = 0,014) y contar con infraestructura necesaria (p = 0,019). Sin embargo, no hubo diferencias en relación con la enseñanza de los maestros (p = 0,662), uso de Internet para actividades de capacitación (p = 0,539), en relación a actividades informáticas, como el uso de lenguaje de programación, como IA, 90,6% no lo ha utilizado. Conclusión: este estudio resalta la existencia de disparidades en el acceso a TIC. Estos hallazgos sugieren la necesidad de fortalecer las inversiones en tecnología en las instituciones públicas para garantizar una formación equitativa y de calidad. Además, los resultados indican una brecha en el conocimiento y la experiencia en el uso de lenguajes de programación, como la IA, entre los estudiantes de Ciencias de la Salud, lo cual podría requerir una mayor atención y promoción de habilidades digitales en el currículo educativo. Abstract: Introduction: In the current context, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) play a crucial role in all areas of society, including the field of education. Especially in health sciences, access to and knowledge of ICT have become fundamental for the training and development of future healthcare professionals in Peru. However, disparities persist in access to and acquisition of digital skills among health science students in the country. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted using secondary data from the National Household Survey on Living Conditions and Poverty (ENAHO) 2022, conducted by the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI). For the present study, a subsample of participants from health science students was considered, by taking in consideration inclusion and exclusion criteria with a statistical power of 81% (p301, p301A, p301B, and p316C) was considered. Results: Of a total of 600 students, 41.2% were from public universities and 58.8% were from private universities. The majority of the participants were female (78%). In terms of age, we found that 290 students belonged to the age group of 17–20 years (40.7%); 222 students were from 21 to 25 years old (36%), and 148 students were over 25 years old (23.45%). Likewise, the majority were between the 1st and 3rd year of study (54.7%).There were significant differences in access to ICT among health sciences students from public and private universities according to the following categorical variables: having equipment (p = 0.014) and having the necessary infrastructure (p = 0.019). However, there were no differences in relation to teacher instruction (p = 0.662), use of the Internet for training activities (p = 0.539), or in relation to computer activities, such as the use of programming languages; for instance, 90.6% have not used it. Conclusion: This study highlights the existence of disparities in access to ICT. These findings suggest the need to strengthen investments in technology in public institutions to ensure equitable and quality education. Additionally, the results indicate a gap in knowledge and experience in the use of programming languages, such as AI, among health science students, which may require further attention and promotion of digital skills in the educational curriculum.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to evaluate the prevalence of negative affectivity in university students in the post-COVID-19 pandemic context and its relationship with academic performance and professional outlook. Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted with undergraduate students from a public university in Minas Gerais between September 2022 and September 2023. Data were collected using a sociodemographic and psychosocial characterization questionnaire and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale 21. The relationships between negative affectivity, academic performance, and professional outlook were verified using the Kruskal-Wallis test, with a significance level of 5%. Results: a total of 585 students participated in the study. A high prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress was found among university students in the post-COVID-19 context, with a notable severity of anxiety. A negative association was detected between the investigated negative affectivity, academic performance, and professional outlook. Conclusions: the results indicate an emotional vulnerability in university students, with a relationship between negative affectivity and a decline in academic performance and professional outlook.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze the factors associated with university students’ knowledge about HIV and preand post-exposure prophylaxis. Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted with 503 university students from a southern state in Brazil; data were collected using a characterization tool and a questionnaire containing 16 statements about the topic; descriptive measures and Poisson regression models with robust variance were used for analysis. Results: the prevalence of adequate knowledge (i.e., scoring more than 12 correct answers) was 27.83%; students older than 24 years, enrolled in health-related courses, who had not engaged in sexual relations in the last quarter, with a history of rapid HIV testing, and who knew or had heard about the prophylaxes showed a higher likelihood of scoring more than 12 correct answers. Conclusions: generally, the knowledge of young people about HIV and its prophylaxes was found to be inadequate and influenced by sociodemographic, educational, and behavioral factors.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of a 6-week outdoor exercise program on children's enjoyment, development and self-perception of motor competence versus indoor. A total of 99 school-age children (6-8 years) were randomly allocated into an outdoor (OG, n = 49) or an indoor (IG, n = 50) group; the OG performed moderate to vigorous aerobic exercises and team games outdoors and the IG the same intervention program but indoors. At baseline and after the intervention, motor competence (i.e., locomotor skills and object control skills) was assessed through 6 motor tests from the Motorfit battery, and enjoyment and self-perceived motor competence (i.e., locomotor skills and object control skills) were assessed through the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale – Italian Version (PACES-it) and Pictorial Scale of Perceived Movement Skill Competence (PMSC-2), respectively. After 6 weeks, compared to the IG, the OG showed significant improvements (p < 0.001) in: Motorfit tests, i.e. locomotor skills (d = 0.69) and object control skills (d = 1.21); PACES-it (d = 0.56); and PMSC, i.e. locomotor skills (d = 0.49) and object control skills (d = 0.36). No significant changes were found for the IG (p > 0.05). Findings show the positive impact of outdoor exercise programs on school-aged children's enjoyment, development and self-perception of motor competence versus indoor, highlighting the importance of environmental factors and the potential benefits of structured outdoor interventions.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to assess the University Student Depression Inventory, Brazilian version (USDI-BR), construct. Methods: a methodological study carried out with a snowball probabilistic sample, consisting of 334 undergraduate and graduate students. Confirmatory factor analysis, reliability using McDonald’s omega coefficient and Cronbach’s alpha were performed. Principal component analysis was performed using the varimax rotation and oblimin rotation, using the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin criteria, Bartlett’s test of sphericity and scree plot. Results: the USDI-BR presented an internal consistency of items of ω = 0.95 and remained with 30 items, with the addition of 1 factor (Death wish and social withdrawal), totaling 4 factors. Conclusions: the USDI-BR has evidence that points to its validity and also its internal consistency, deserving that new studies be carried out to expand the evidence of its psychometric properties.

The university is a key actor in the creation of knowledge that must respond to global transformations by meeting the demands of different interest groups, which has led to its management becoming a complex activity. The aim of this paper is to present the trends in university governance, strategy and management through the review of the Clarivate-Web of Science (WOS) and Scopus databases with the support of Vosviewer software. The results have made it possible to identify three perspectives: a) governance and leadership models, b) student body in university governance, quality of service and student entrepreneurship, and c) technology in higher education. For its part, the United Kingdom stands out as the country with the highest scientific production in this area. Finally, the study allows us to conclude that the changes that university management systems have undergone and the relevance that elements such as ICTs, the relationship with business, peer review processes and student participation have acquired within it, reflecting the most relevant factors of the evolution of governance systems in connection with the new dynamics that will guide us towards an entrepreneurial university.

Objective: To verify the existence of an association between suicidal ideation, social support, and anxious-depressive symptoms among Health Sciences students. Method: Quantitative, cross-sectional study. Data collection took place from November 2020 to July 2021 in Sergipe - Brazil, using the Sociodemographic Questionnaire, Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire, Satisfaction with Social Support Scale, and Anxiety, Depression, and Stress Scale. Simple and multiple linear regression coefficients and odds ratios were estimated. Results: Of the 190 interviewees, 57 (30%) had low satisfaction with social support, 66 (34.8%) reported symptoms of severe or very severe depression, 32 (16.8%) had a potential risk of suicide, which can be increased by 18% in people with depression. Conclusion: Stress, anxiety, and depression are risk factors for suicidal ideation in health students. Social support becomes an ally in emotional control, in the reduction of psychological suffering, and in the precipitation of mental disorders in students.

ABSTRACT: In written expression, learners do not very often apply the rules learned in lower levels. However, the frequent use of mobile phones for sending SMS messages has suddenly worsened their expression problem. The transposition of the atypical writing style of SMS into school learning poses serious problems, as learners produce texts without respecting spelling rules, particularly accentuation, both in literary exercises and evaluations. To objectively assess its true impact on students' written expression level, we decided to conduct surveys among the targeted individuals and utilize pedagogy. Through didactics, we found that the learners' accentuation problem is fundamentally linked to the transposition of the "normless" writing of SMS into written productions in evaluations. RÉSUMÉ : En expression écrite, les apprenants n’appliquent pas très souvent les règles apprises dans les niveaux inférieurs. Cependant, l’usage fréquent du téléphone portable pour l’envoi de SMS a subitement aggravé leur problème d’expression. La transposition de l’écriture atypique des SMS dans l’apprentissage scolaire pose de sérieux problèmes dans la mesure où les apprenants produisent des textes sans pour autant respecter les règles orthographiques, plus précisément l’accentuation, aussi bien en exercices littéraires qu’en évaluations. Pour évaluer de façon objective son véritable impact sur le niveau d’expression écrite des élèves, nous avons décidé de mener des enquêtes auprès des personnes ciblées et de mettre à contribution la pédagogie. Grâce à la didactique, nous avons trouvé que le problème d’accentuation des apprenants se trouve à la base de la transposition de l’écriture “sans normes” des SMS dans les productions écrites en évaluation.

Research objectives (aims) and problem(s): The aim of the article is to present the results of an evaluation study of an educational and preventive programme implemented in eight year 4 groups in six Krakow primary schools. The programme, entitled KOTWICA, ran from December 2021 to June 2022. The evaluation was external and comprehensive. During the programme, the evaluation of the process and of the outcome were carried out in the pre-test–post-test format. The research question is “what are the results of the evaluation of the KOTWICA educational and preventive programme for students of the fourth year of primary school?” Research methods: Eight proprietary tools were used to evaluate the process, and two standardised tools were used to evaluate the result. The collected material was subjected to statistical processing, whilst the qualitative data was encoded, categorised and analysed using tools for qualitative data analysis. Structure of the article: At the beginning, the authors justify the undertaking of the research and introduce the subject of the study on the basis of theoretical findings and the state of research in the field of school prevention. Then the research objectives are described and the research problem is defined. In turn, the research method, the selection criteria for the study group and the principles of data collection and processing are described. The results of the research and the limitations of the research process were also described. Finally, the conclusions of the research and recommendations for the theory and policy of school prevention are described. Research findings and their impact on the development of educational sciences: The results of the evaluation allow us to conclude that the objective of the educational and preventive programme conducted in year 4 was achieved and that it met the needs of the participants. However, they do not allow us to draw clear conclusions as to the effectiveness of the educational activities, due to the limitations of the collected research material. Conclusions and/or recommendations: In the light of the results, the authors drew conclusions regarding the methodology of evaluation studies and recommendations for preventive and educational practice.

In this bibliometric study, the close relationship between technology readiness and education is explored, particularly within the realm of social sciences. The main objective is to identify global trends and behaviors associated with these concepts. A qualitative scientometric review methodology was employed, focusing on the Web of Science (WoS) database, with 1366 articles analyzed. The application of various laws revealed the fundamental importance of Technology Readiness and Education for the long-term success of organizations in the digital age. Investing in the development of Technology skills strengthens competitiveness and fosters innovation. However, a minimal representation of educational topics in Social Sciences was observed, accounting for only 0.03% of the total articles. This knowledge gap is crucial to address, as training in technology and education is essential for both professional and scientific success. Having the appropriate competencies in technology and education is imperative to achieve greater productivity and professional success across various domains.

The objective of this work is to develop a self-assessment model by students and alumni of Graduate Courses. A survey was carried out with students and alumni at a Higher Education institution in southern Brazil, and a valid sample of 2037 respondents was obtained. A model was proposed considering the perceptions of students and alumni regarding the institution’s infrastructure, the course subjects, the course professors, the advisor’s and the administrative supports as antecedents and satisfaction as a result of the course assessment. The results showed that the student’s perception of the subjects and the professors are the dimensions that most impact the assessment of the course. Furthermore, student satisfaction with the course is positively influenced by their self-assessment.

The combination of distance / asynchronous learning and physical education is an innovative system that allows a modern person not to limit the learning process and to acquire quality knowledge at a convenient time. But there are advantages and disadvantages of distance learning. Positive aspects include: flexible schedule, independent study possibility, stress reduction, physical and psychological health improvement, using interactive technologies and virtual reality, competition and cooperation promotion, support from teachers and parents, innovation stimulation and development of new teaching methods, assistance in development of a healthy lifestyle as an education part. On the other hand, negative aspects include: social isolation, reduced motivation, lack of stimulating environment, difficulty concentrating, insufficient physical activity, technical difficulties, challenges with assessment and reporting, lack of teacherstudent interaction, an increased self-discipline level, need for support and structure, and limited access to resources and opportunities for collaboration and group work. The purpose of the research is to develop a model of professional and applied physical training for students of Computer engineering specialty in the temporarily occupied territory with using distance/asynchronous learning in Ukraine. The experimental model was implemented from January 2022 to May 2023 on the basis of the Melitopol Industrial and Economic College. 24 students took part in the experiment, who were assigned to the main medical group based on their state of health. In the research, there was developed a model of professional and applied physical training for students of Computer engineering specialty in the temporarily occupied territory using distance learning, which was partially asynchronous. The developed model consists of four interconnected blocks: fundamental, organizational, theoretical, and diagnostic. This learning model allowed using online platforms, video conferencing, educational materials in digital format and other means of communication for learning. The main advantages of such learning are the ability to provide students with access to education, even if the physical conditions in the territory limit or complicate the possibility of physical learning in an educational institution. The effectiveness of the developed model was determined on the basis of the obtained digital data, which testifies to the distance learning quality with rationally organized process and the ability to combine specific aspects of each education sector. So, the best results according to the following tests are as follows: the exercise of 5-second running in place (amount of repetition) got a significant quantitative increase of 14.95%, the results in long jump (cm) improved by 13.67% and in dip up (amount of repetition) – by 13.11%. After analyzing the implemented model supported by positive digital dynamics, it can be concluded that the model of professional and applied physical training for students of Computer engineering specialty in the temporarily occupied territory with using distance/asynchronous learning in Ukraine has the right to exist and can be recommended or adapted (depending on the age) for Ukraine’s educational institutions during the learning process.

Social-emotional skills, essential for the integration of thoughts, emotions and behaviors, can be taught and strengthened in school. The research approach is quantitative, the method is non-experimental. The results show adequate learning of socio-emotional skills, highlighting that empathy is the most outstanding skill, while leadership and self-regulation emerge as the least developed. It is highlighted that the students' perception leans more towards theoretical knowledge than towards practical application. This finding underscores the importance of addressing the gap between theoretical understanding and effective implementation of social-emotional skills in the school context.

In this paper we attempt a synthesis of some aspects in the history of education in Mexico. This task is part of a very basic introduction, after which we point out the case of some important political-educational actors -such as the National Union of Education Workers (SNTE). Finally, we synthesize problems and issues that may explain some of the paradoxes of a country where the issue of education is over-diagnosed, but at the same time is unable to solve the main shortcomings: coverage, quality, resources and infrastructure; as well as an excessive politicization of an unequal system that certainly presents achievements as can be observed when reviewing history. At the same time, it continues to endure several of its lags, which make it difficult to update all the capacities of students and teachers in some educational levels and regions of the country.

Objective: compare the levels of cultural capital inherited from the family among quota and non-quota students from Brazilian federal universities and analyze its influence on the occupation and remuneration of graduates. Theoretical framework: the sociological literature points out that students from low-income families (such as quota holders) lack cultural capital inherited from the family and this can negatively affect their opportunities in the job market. Methods: we applied an electronic questionnaire to 11,458 graduates from 248 undergraduate courses and 18 Brazilian federal universities. We created the levels of cultural capital of graduates based on a factor analysis, carried out through a combination of variables such as parents’ education and frequency of consumption of cultural goods by students before entering university. We compared the averages obtained for cultural capital between quota and non-quota students through Student’s t-test, and through multinomial logistic regression, we analyzed the influence of this cultural capital on the occupation and remuneration of graduates. Results: the results suggest that quota student graduates have lower levels of cultural capital before entering the federal university than non-quota student graduates. However, the results suggest little influence of this cultural capital for occupational and salary gains in the labor market. Conclusions: the results highlight the relevance of the quota policy of federal universities for the sociocultural and socioeconomic inclusion of quota students.

Introduction: University students are exposed to academic demands that could impact mental health and trigger suicidal behaviors. Objective: To analyze the mental health conditions (depression, anxiety, and social support) and suicide risk in Costa Rican university students. Materials and Methods: Correlational, predictive, and cross-sectional research was conducted. A census sample of 76 university students was included. Variables encompassed sociodemographic data, social support measured by the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, depression measured by the Beck Depression Inventory-II, anxiety measured by the Beck Anxiety Inventory, and suicide risk measured by the Plutchik Suicide Risk Scale. An online survey was used. Descriptive analysis, variance analysis, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression were performed. Significance level set at p

ABSTRACT Objectives: to carry out the cultural adaptation and evaluation of validity evidence of the Student Nurse Stressor-15 (SNS-15) Scale for use in Brazil. Methods: psychometric study, conducted from the stages of translation, synthesis, back-translation, review by a committee of seven experts, pre-test and evaluation of measurement properties with 32 and 238 nursing students, respectively. Descriptive statistics, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were performed. The reliability of the instrument was estimated using McDonald’s Omega (ω). Results: EFA subsidized the distribution of the fifteen SNS-15 items into four factors. Using AFC, satisfactory fit indices were achieved (Comparative Fit Index = 0.94; Tucker-Lewis Index = 0.93; Root Mean Square Error of Approximation = 0.06; Standardized Root Mean Square Residual = 0.16) and ω = 0.86. Conclusions: the Brazilian version of the SNS-15 presents evidence that confirms its validity and reliability.

The use of substances to improve sports performance is a widespread phenomenon among adolescents. Several anti-doping programs have been developed, mainly based on knowledge-based evidence. The main aim of the present study was to implement an anti-doping intervention in sports high school students, based on a psychological framework, such as Socio-Cognitive Theory, through the development of a Serious Game (SG), i.e., digital learning based on the game. The experimental design included an intervention group (n = 167; F = 37.7%; Meanage = 17.5 years; SD = 0.58) and a control group (n = 112; F = 42%; Meanage = 17.6; SD = 1). Both of the groups completed the same questionnaire on two different occasions (i.e., time 1 and time 2) for measuring doping intention, self-regulatory efficacy to resist social pressure for the use of substances, moral disengagement, and doping knowledge. Data were analyzed through repeated measures of Group X Time ANOVA, demonstrating some degree of efficacy of the intervention, in particular in terms of the decrease in doping intention and the strengthening of doping knowledge. Moreover, the study demonstrated that the score obtained during the implementation of the SG could partially represent a coherent measure of the participants’ beliefs regarding doping. These results could be considered a starting point for future research to better develop technological anti-doping interventions.

In the realm of health sciences, various educational strategies exist to foster an interest in scientific research, aiming to acquaint students with processes involving evidence-based decision-making. This study compiles initiatives implemented in health science programs to promote and develop research competencies (RC) among undergraduate students. Scopus, Web of Science, MEDLINE (via PubMed), and SciELO databases were used for the search. The focus was on identifying educational interventions that assessed/ measured research competencies. Original articles implemented in programs such as Human Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy and Biochemistry, Obstetrics, Nursing, Medical Technology, and Nutrition were included. Numerous initiatives were found under designations like “research project,” “research program,” “research mentorship,” “reading clubs,” etc. Although these terms appeared under various designations, some are more common in Spanish (such as research groups and Student Scientific Societies), while others are used not only for developing research competencies but also for fostering transversal and communication skills (like poster presentations). In health science programs, multiple curricular initiatives have focused on developing research competencies. Implementing a range of initiatives in a curriculum is advisable to offer diverse learning experiences.

Academic success is a multifactorial and multidimensional educational phenomenon known worldwide. However, in Madagascar and particularly in the district of Moramanga, few in-depth studies have been able to highlight these determinants. This study aims to describe and highlight the influence of the socioeconomic factors of the Malagasy family on the academic success of the first cycle students in the Moramanga School District. It is carried out using a quantitative approach that has made it possible to discover that income, level of education, household size, mode of lighting, exécution of homework at home and the mode of acquisition of school supplies are the determining factors of academic success in the first cycle in this district.

The objective of the research was to assess student satisfaction regarding their mathematical education in a postgraduate course in administration based on remote teaching during the covid-19 pandemic. The research approach was mixed with a sequential exploratory design. A questionnaire was developed and administered to 65 participants about the type of technological devices used, the challenges faced, and students’ assessment of their level of mathematical education. The results showed that students acknowledged experienced logistical, emotional, and academic challenges during the emergency period. Statistically significant differences were also found because remote teaching promoted mathematical education through effective use of video conferencing, enabling the integration of learning into professional performance, assisting in course planning and adaptation explained by the faculty, and benefiting from the use of virtual databases and asynchronous communication. Additionally, the students rated competences related to administrative situations, mathematical terminology, and the use of tables and graphs at a consolidated level. The conclusion is to incorporate Microsoft Teams as a permanent platform because it promotes timely and continuous monitoring by the faculty, which encourages the mathematical education of the students.

This paper presents the sociological research carried out among Polish and Ukrainian students concerning the importance of family within their life. The purpose of the article is to demonstrate the differences and similarities in the perception of this fundamental group unit of society. The research was conducted at a unique time, as it was during the ongoing period where Ukraine has been a country at war, in addition to the epidemic outbreak of COVID-19. It was assumed that these special circumstances as well as the cultural differences would influence the perception of marriage and family. In a threatening situation, a person can change their former value system, priorities, and the most important life goals. In addition, the observed social and cultural changes that are taking place in both countries - albeit not at the same time and to the same extent - affect the way young people see their vision of the world, and in particular in what family model they would like to spend their future, and also whether they think about starting a family at all.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between anxiety, depression, and stress levels with physical activity level and academic performance in high school students; secondly, this study aims to relate and compare anxiety, depression, and stress levels with physical activity level and academic performance. This is a quantitative, descriptive, and comparative cross-sectional study, which evaluated 443 high school students (48% female; 15.13 ± 1.59 years) belonging to the Maule region, Chile. The Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Questionnaire (DASS-21) and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) were applied. Academic performance was consulted on language, mathematics, and overall grade point average. The results indicate that vigorous physical activity (OR = 0.504; p = 0.017) and high academic performance in mathematics (OR = 0.597; p = 0.027) are associated with a reduced risk of depression. In turn, there is a significant inverse correlation between physical activity with anxiety (r = −0.224; p = 0.000), depression (r = −0.224; p = 0.000) and stress (r = −0.108; p = 0.032), while the performance of mathematics is inversely correlated with depression (r = −0.176; p = 0.000). On the other hand, significant differences (p < 0.05) between anxiety, depression, stress levels, and grade point average were found, with females exhibiting higher scores than males. In conclusion, greater vigorous physical activity and scoring above average in mathematics performance are protective factors against depression.
