Mental Health Education Programs at Korean High Schools: The Investigation of Student Satisfaction with the Current School-based Programs and Means to Improve

Author(s): Jiho Chang / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Instances of debilitating stress, depression and suicidal ideation have been broadly documented in academic settings in South Korea. In response, a number of mental health programs have been introduced by schools to help students manage the pressures of academic life and combat hidden narratives of anxiety and depression. Via a week-long survey, this study investigates student responses to various mental health education programs at high schools in South Korea. The voices of the students shed light on their educational needs in terms of positive mental health outcomes, the systematic factors influencing their discontent, and the general importance of creating more realistic and implementable solutions to common mental health concerns. The data from the surveys ware then combined with a case study analysis of mental health initiatives across different types of schools in South Korea and in the United States so as to gain insights from a complex, cross-cultural perspective. By acknowledging the points of view of the students as well as articles, academic papers and psychological reports, the research is better able to bridge the gap between the current idealistic model of mental health education and highly-customized best practices going forward. The findings are also impactful in terms of policy making and the introduction of student-centric, contextually sound, and sensitive formats and curriculums in the future.

Author(s): Assylbekova Marziya,Atemova Kalipa,Baltabayeva Zhaniyat,Muhambek Dilnur / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Bullying often involves harm to others, especially adolescents. The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of bullying, identify risk factors, and assess the relationship between bullying and the psychological status of adolescents who face this problem in the region of Kazakhstan. The research was conducted on 224 students between the ages of 11 and 16 using an online survey in a validated Google Form to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of bullying, as well as questionnaires to assess the psychological consequences of bullying. In response to the question, Where is bullying most common?, 42.8% of the participants answered “on social networks,” 33.5% answered “in the yard, on the street,” and 23.7% answered “at school.” About 20% of the participants spent more than 12 hours on the Internet every day, and the overall estimated prevalence of bullying and cyberbullying was 42.8%. In addition, 26.3% of the participants had a significant deterioration in academic performance due to cyberbullying. Approximately 20% of all participants considered dropping out of school, 19.7% considered stopping Internet use, and 21.1% considered harming themselves as a result of bullying. Furthermore, 75% of schoolchildren were victims of bullying. Unfortunately, schools are not entirely safe environments for children. Schoolchildren talked about the negative effects of bullying, negative childhood experiences, and trauma. Currently, researchers focus on "bullying" and its psychological consequences. Some researchers have identified characteristics of bullying victims, such as low self-esteem, poor social connection, aggression, anxiety, and complicated family relationships.

The Relationship between Literary Development and Traditional Medicine in the Southern Dynasty of China

Author(s): HU Xuebei / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

During the Southern Dynasty of China, the belief that human physiology and temperament derived from innate nature and external influences persisted, leading to a close relationship between personal constitution and literary style. This study investigates the connection between Chinese traditional medicine and literature in the Southern Dynasty. The weakened health of the aristocratic families in the Jiangdong region became a backdrop to showcase their political talents and moral integrity, establishing that a weak physical constitution symbolized high literary excellence, as evidenced by the famous, flamboyant literary style of the time. In this context, physical health was intimately linked to literary creation and style, forming a dynamic cycle through mutual resonance. This research provides a new interdisciplinary perspective for studying classical Chinese literature and is significant for East Asian cultural studies.

ZAKONSKI OKVIR MALOLJETNIČKOG PRAVOSUĐA U REPUBLICI SRPSKOJ

Author(s): Nadežda Gudelj,Husein Ljeljak / Language(s): Bosnian,Serbian Publication Year: 0

The state of juvenile crime in Republika Srpska can be viewed based on the data on registered juvenile crime in the official records of the Statistical Office of Republika Srpska, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, courts, prosecutor's offices, and the Ombudsperson for Children. The structure of criminal offenses committed by minors is far simpler than the structure of criminal offenses committed by adults, where property crimes and blood crimes dominate, considering that almost four out of five criminal offenses committed by minors belong to one of these two categories. This paper briefly presents the most important legal acts related to juvenile delinquency in the Republic of Srpska. In addition to the basic legal acts related to the legal status of juvenile offenders, we also explained the criminal sanctions imposed on juvenile offenders and their legal specificities.

MENTALNO ZDRAVLJE ADOLESCENATA ZA VRIJEME PANDEMIJE COVIDA -19

Author(s): Begzudin Ahmetović / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

During the pandemic of the COVID-19 virus in Bosnia and Herzegovina, individuals and society as a whole faced numerous challenges in the field of preserving both physical and mental health. The focus of protecting citizens from the pandemic was vulnerable and risky categories of the population, primarily the elderly and children. Children and adolescents were at risk, mostly due to social isolation and limited movement. Extraordinary circumstances, limited movement, lack of contact with friends, socializing, free activities, gloomy scenes and other factors that occupied them were risk factors that caused numerous mental problems. Those problems are indicative even today, and the aim of this work is to point out the numerous consequences of this pandemic.

REFLEKSIJA PANDEMIJE VIRUSA KORONE NA SOCIJALIZACIJU I ASOCIJALNO PONAŠANJE ADOLESCENATA

Author(s): Begzudin Ahmetović / Language(s): Bosnian Publication Year: 0

One of the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic is the impaired mental health of children and adolescents, as well as other categories of the population. However, in this paper we will base ourselves on the behavioral disorders that were indicative of this vulnerable category, not wanting to diminish the difficulties faced by other categories of the population. Socialization was difficult, and life and daily activities were limited, which had incalculable consequences on the growth and personality formation of children and adolescents. Unfortunately, the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic will be seen in this population, but so will the fears and phobias of similar circumstances. That is why it is very important that during their further upbringing and education we pay special attention to their mental health and education on how and in what way they can seek help, if certain symptoms of the disorder are indicated. The socially maladjusted behavior of children and adolescents during the corona virus pandemic is a topic that was not too represented and researched from a scientific point of view, and we will pay more attention to this problem in this paper.

Liječnici i odnos države prema liječničkoj službi u Dubrovniku u 18. stoljeću

Author(s): Irena Ipšić,Ivana Lazarević / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

Medical services (physicians and surgeons) and the organization of public health care in Dubrovnik can be traced throughout extant sources already available from 1280 onwards. Dubrovnik authorities had tried to employ at least one physician and one surgeon at the time. Moreover, from the ﬁfteenth century on, Dubrovnik usually employed two of both professions, and later even more than two, especially during epidemics. Up to the ﬁfteenth century these physicians usually were of Italian origin, and later many of them originated from Dubrovnik or surrounding lands, and it was not uncommon that Dubrovnik authorities had ﬁnanced their education. Up until then, the process of hiring physicians was not thoroughly investigated in our historiography, and similarly we do not know much about the length of their services, their income, reputation, or the level of their integration in the local community (if they were of foreign origin). Therefore, one of the goals of this paper is to investigate the contracts these physicians signed with the Dubrovnik authorities, to determine how the Dubrovnik authorities treated these physicians and surgeons, and whether there was any difference in the attitude regarding their place of origin. Data extracted from the contracts was compared with the other information about the economic and social circumstances in Dubrovnik during the eighteenth century. Moreover, the authors determined the relation be-tween the income of the physicians and the list of their duties and prescribed medical services. By the same token, the authors claim that these physicians and their medical services established a kind of integrational factor between Dubrovnik and its hinterland, since local rulers of the Dubrovnik hinterland often asked for services from Dubrovnik physicians.

The Organisation of a Volleyball Major Sporting Event and the Impact of COVID-19 on Spectator Attendance

Author(s): Lukáš Kozáček / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The origins of the Czech volleyball movement’s ideas to organise the European Men’s Volleyball Championships as the culmination of the celebration of 100 years of volleyball in the Czech Republic date back to 2015. After challenging discussions and negotiation of terms, the Czech Republic’s hosting was confirmed by the signing of the organisational contract in 2019. At this point, the organisational preparations by both the CEV and the Czech Volleyball Federation began. The hosting of the entire European Championships was unconventionally divided between four co-organisers: the Czech Republic, Poland, Estonia and Finland. This fact in itself meant that it was necessary to set up a functional management system for the most important international volleyball event as a whole, with central organisational processes and partial management autonomy in the individual countries.

Aspects of Creating Sports Team Budgets in Times of Crisis

Author(s): Jakub Kadlec / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

In my paper, I focused on the importance of crisis management for sports teams, especially budget changes in response to a crisis. It turns out that, just like other environments, the sports environment at various levels did not have elaborated and set up crisis mechanisms in case of a crisis of the scale of the COVID-19 pandemic. In my contribution, I would like to describe the reactions as well as the reactions and recommendations for creating budgets in the OECD environment, the Czech Republic and sports teams in general, as well as specific examples of the reactions of sports teams.

The impact of COVID-19 on Physical Activity of Czech children

Author(s): Tereza Štveráková,Jakub Jačisko,Andrew Busch,Marcela Šafářová,Pavel Kolář,Alena Kobesová / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Introduction: The pandemic of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and related restrictions (closed schools and sports centers, social isolation, masks) may have a negative impact on children’s health. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the level of physical activity (PA) of Czech children during COVID-19 in autumn 2020. Methods: Ninety-eight Czech children (mean age = 10.1 ± 1.47 years) completed the standardized Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Czech Children (PAQ-C/cz) during COVID lockdown. Data were compared with previously published norms. Thirty-five children also reported daily number of steps measured by accelerometers. Results: Total PAQ-C score was 0.38 lower during COVID compared to Pre-COVID [t(302) = 5.118., p < .001]. The male PAQ-C total score was 0.37 lower [t(146) = 3.21., p = .002)] and the female total score was 0.39 lower [t(154) = 3.97., p < .001] during COVID compared to Pre-COVID. Specifically, responses of PA during spare time, before-school, physical education (PE), and recess were significantly lower during COVID. The average number of steps was 7.767 steps/day (boys = 9.255; girls = 6.982). Conclusions: COVID lockdown resulted in significant reduction of PA in Czech children. Strategies to promote adequate PA of children during the pandemic need to be determined.

Risk of Mobile Phone Addiction in Secondary School Pupils

Author(s): Petr Kachlík / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Background: the urge to use mobile devices constantly and anxiety that might come in case of impossibility to use them, represent one of the forms of behavioral addictions, the so-called nomophobia. Nomophobia negatively affects all attributes of human health, seriously affects its mental, physical and social components. Objectives: the main objective of the research was to determine the degree of nomophobia in a sample of secondary school students, the partial objective was to map potentially risky areas with the use of modern information and communication technologies. Methods: a quantitative method was chosen to carry out the survey, and an anonymous questionnaire containing a standardized core was used as a research tool. It consisted of 20 items focused on respondents' reactions in situations where communication links are not available or cannot be used. The survey was conducted in the eighth and ninth grades of 11 randomly selected primary schools in the Hradec Králové region. Data were obtained from 373 respondents with a balanced representation of boys and girls. 3 working hypotheses were established to compare the opinions, behavior and degree of nomophobia between boys and girls. The answers were evaluated by methods of descriptive statistics, Student's t-test was used to analyze the hypotheses. Results: 0.5% of respondents did not show symptoms of nomophobia, a very mild and moderate form was recorded in 70% of respondents, mild form in 18% of the group, moderate in 8% and severe in 2% of respondents. Almost three-fourths of the students were not directly at risk of dependence on a mobile, but a tenth of the sample showed serious problems of a behavioral addiction nature. Respondents used an average of 4 applications, mainly communication programs, social networks and music players. Conclusions: girls in the sample showed a higher rate of nomophobia than boys. The biggest differences in responses were mainly for fears of not being able to communicate immediately with family or friends.

The cognitive dimension among university students in the area of sexual and reproductive health with an emphasis on the issue of delayed/late pregnancy and parenthood

Author(s): Michaela Hřivnová,Jitka Slaná Reissmannová,Tereza Sofková,Martina Cichá,Vladislava Marciánová / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

Background: The shift in women’s fertility and birth rate to the higher age is characterized as the most significant feature of reproductive behaviour over the past decades in the Czech Republic (and in other developed countries). The trend of the so-called delayed or late pregnancy/motherhood/parenthood is determined by polyfactorial influences with possible risk impacts on the biomedical and psychosocial aspects of the health of mothers, fathers, children and society as such. In 2020, the following project was implemented: 50/2020/PPZ/OKD In Time – responsible, erudite, planned and prepared parenthood – The shaping and development of health literacy in the area of reproductive health among young adults (university students). The project was supported by the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic and the Faculty of Education, Palacký University Olomouc. The outcomes of the project are of both educational and research nature. Method(s): The Research on the cognitive and affective dimensions of young adults in the area of early pregnancy/parenthood involving a sample of 844 student respondents from 14 universities in the Czech Republic evaluated the level of knowledge of health literacy with an emphasis on the general area of sexual and reproductive health as well as the specific area of possible risks associated with delayed/late pregnancy/parenthood. The research also focused on the personality and attitude dimensions of young adults in the context of delayed and late pregnancy. Results: In a specific area of sexual and reproductive health, the level of knowledge was problematic, sometimes even insufficient. An alarming fact is the complete lack of knowledge concerning the probability of conception during a single ovulation cycle of a young woman (18–30 years). Surprisingly, the correct answer was identified by less than 2% of female university students. The complete set of results of the research is published in the monograph In Time: The cognitive and affective dimensions of young adults in relation to pregnancy and parenthood. Conclusions: The unfavourable level of health literacy concerning early pregnancy/parenthood may have a negative effect on the affective and behavioural dimension of young adults and support the manifestations of possible bio-psycho-social risks and complications resulting from the trends of shifting motherhood/parenthood to higher age bands. It is thus necessary to educate the young generation by means of adequate didactic procedures in order for them to be able to make informed decisions about whether and when to have a child.

Application of the brief intervention method in prevention of HIV/AIDS spread - 6 years of project implementation

Author(s): Lidmila Hamplová,Soňa Jexová,Veronika Pišová,Petr Hulinský / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The National Programme for Addressing HIV/AIDS in the Czech Republic 2018- 2022 is a strategic document for combating the spread of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections in the Czech Republic. The activities of the programme are funded by the Czech Republic’s Ministry of Health’s subsidy programmed called the National Programme on HIV AIDS. The target population groups of the programme are not only persons at high risk of HIV/AIDS infection due to risky sexual behaviour, but also adolescents, teenagers, and other persons of reproductive age with a lower level of health literacy. One possibility that could increase their level of knowledge is the short intervention method, which is also applicable in the field of prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. The aim and purpose of the brief intervention method recommended by the WHO is to increase the health literacy of the intervened persons, eliminate their risky behaviour and promote their reproductive health. Reducing the incidence of HIV-positive persons in the population brings significant financial savings in terms of reduced treatment costs for both HIV-positive patients and especially those with advanced AIDS. The application of the brief intervention method in the field of prevention of HIV/AIDS and other STIs was the essence of the 6-year project conducted by the University of Health Sciences in health care facilities across the Czech Republic. Patients were privately familiarised with the content of educational cards and were offered the opportunity for a closer consultation on the topic. After the education, the effectiveness of the intervention was evaluated by a short questionnaire. 5,146 people of reproductive age were intervened in more than 150 health care facilities across the country during the implementation of the 6-year project. A total of 1,347 patients (26%) reported that their loved ones were not adequately protected from HIV/AIDS and other STIs. Only 56% of the male and 66% of the female respondents reported that they had ever spoken to their loved ones about STI prevention. After the education, 56% of the reproductive-age interveners requested copies of the education cards for their loved ones. Increased health literacy due to education was more often acknowledged by women than men, and especially by those in the 15–25 age group, where 74% of those in this age group who intervened confirmed increased health literacy. Women (75%) were more likely than men to believe that their loved ones were not adequately protecting themselves from STIs. Patients with lower levels of education were more likely to admit an increase in health literacy than those with university education (64%). 71% of patients with only primary education, completed at fifteen years old in the Czech Republic, said their health literacy had increased. 70% or patients who finished their schooling after secondary education, completed at eighteen years old in the Czech Republic, said their health literacy had increased. Over the course of 6 years, more than 5,000 people of reproductive age were educated in the project. The health care environment in which the interventions were implemented contributed significantly to the success of the brief intervention method. The realisation of the project by the College of Health contributed to the implementation of the National Programme for Addressing HIV/AIDS in the Czech Republic 2018–2022 and at the same time the National Action Plan, entitled Development of Health Literacy.

Challenges and opportunities for health promotion in the school environment in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic

Author(s): Eva Marádová,Pavla Šlechtová / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The text responds to current problems associated with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education in the Czech Republic and abroad and discusses the current situation based on the latest available information. Specifically, it focuses on the influence of this severe health threat on the societal perception of the importance of health promotion and safety in school education. The COVID-19 pandemic constitutes a new milestone in formal and informal health and safety education development. Based on the results of research in the Czech Republic and abroad, the text demonstrates the need to expand activities to promote health and safety in schools in the future (in terms of ensuring physical, mental and social wellbeing), and thus the need to increase the number of lessons per week for health and safety education in the primary and lower secondary education curriculum. We propose that the Framework Education Programme for Primary and Lower Secondary Educationin corporates (as part of the forthcoming revision) the necessary adequate changes aimed at broader health promotion both in the overall concept of school life and especially in the educational field, including health and safety topics.

What to look for in a black box? an attempt to recapitulate the pandemic experience in gallery management

Author(s): Marika Kupková,Monika Szűcsová / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This text is an insight into the life of a city gallery during the turbulent period of the last three years, which have been defined by the pandemic and the ongoing crisis associated with, among other things, the war in Ukraine. This is not a tumultuous period in the organization’s history, as it is not shutting down or severely reducing its operations. At least for the time being. Thanks to its status as a municipal contributory organization, Brno Galerie TIC1 has a relatively stable background. In any case, the crisis has accelerated some of the longer-term trends in the gallery’s management; in addition, novel developments and challenges have emerged. These include an increased awareness of the social responsibility of cultural institutions, the search for and verification of functional ways of communicating with audiences, or the abandonment and return of presentation to the exhibition space. Still, this focus on one particular gallery is not intended to be a case study; our ambition is to capture the contemporary development of the production, distribution and, to some extent, interpretation of visual art in a more general sense.
