Adolescence is the most important phase in the formation of an individual's eating habits. A teenager's eating habits consist of knowledge related to breakfast, one's attitudes and practices towards breakfast. Knowledge-based practices will last a long time, therefore it is important for adolescents to obtain nutrition education from various sources, one of which is school. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of nutrition education interventions on the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of adolescents regarding breakfast. The design of this study was a quasi experimental and purposive sampling method with a sample size of 57 7th and 8th grade students aged 12-15 years at SMP IT Nurul Fajar, Cikarawang Village. The healthy breakfast nutrition education intervention was given in 2 sessions with a duration of 50 minutes for each session. The media used in this research include leaflets, posters, videos, and materials in the form of power points. The results showed that there was a significant increase in the knowledge and attitude scores of adolescents regarding healthy breakfast (p≤0.05), while the practice of breakfast in adolescents experienced an insignificant increase (p0.05). Nutrition education interventions have an impact on increasing adolescent knowledge and attitudes regarding healthy breakfast, but the impact is not seen on adolescent breakfast practices. This is because the duration and frequency of nutrition education are too short, so nutrition education interventions are needed with a longer frequency and duration.

Online Activities and Extremist Attitudes in Adolescence: An Empirical Analysis with a Gender Differentiation

Abstract Radicalization research is dedicated to analyzing factors related to radicalization processes, which in turn can lead to extremism. One factor is frequently discussed: the role of the Internet. This paper examines the relationship between active and passive online activities, including consumption, networking, and posting, and extremist attitudes in the field of Islamism and right-wing extremism among adolescents. Data from a school survey (N = 6,715) show that right-wing attitudes are particularly correlated with consumption of political websites, though this effect is weaker among females. However, posting shows only a small effect and networking shows no effect at all. Islamist attitudes, on the other hand, are related to the extent to which one consumes violent Islamist videos, meets other Muslims online, and posts Islamic content.

Parental interaction and communication with children and how parents treat their teenage children have an influence on the attitude of adolescents which, if sustained, will develop into characters that are formed in children. Likewise, teenagers with the use of internet technology, the attitude of parents towards the activities of these teenagers will have an influence on the formation of characters that can filter the impact of internet technology so that teenagers do not fall into addiction which will make their positive character decline. The interaction between parents and children in dealing with the impact of technology is a powerful medium for education for children, and should be a top priority. But what happened was just the opposite. The media tends to reduce moral values, such as violence and pornography. Families are expected to be able to fortify their sons and daughters, therefore families must be smart in interacting with the media. The aim is to prevent deviant behavior that is not in accordance with moral norms and moral values ​​in children. The research method uses a literature study approach, by reviewing a number of 26 journals related to research variables. As a result, the process of interaction between parents and children to support physical, emotional, social, intellectual and spiritual development takes place from a child in the womb to adulthood. In conclusion, children need to be protected from a family with positive, good and true things so that they can develop well in the next life and be able to control themselves in dealing with the destructive influences of the digital era.

Attitudes of children and adolescents towards healthy lifestyle issues

Abstract Background Health education for promoting healthy lifestyle from early ages is considered to be important. However, this issue has not been thoroughly examined in Georgia. The research, undertaken on adolescents, aimed to analyse adolescents’ lifestyle, awareness and attitudes towards healthy lifestyle. Methods The study applied a mixed methods design and included both, qualitative and quantitative research methods. 145 students aged 17 to 23 years participated in the research. In order to evaluate the adolescent’s perceptions and attitudes, qualitative individual interviews with university students were conducted. For the quantitative method, a self-administered questionnaire assessing the level of adolescents’ awareness and attitudes towards healthy lifestyle was developed. Results This section presents preliminary findings of the study. We found that more than 67% of adolescents were aware on the importance of healthy lifestyle. However, most of the participants did not transfer their knowledge into practice. The participants found it challenging to maintain healthy eating habits due to increased costs of healthy, organic food. The study also confirmed the need for integrated work of public, governmental, and non-governmental organizations to initiate and implement health promotion programs for children and adolescents. Conclusions Overall, the study found that even though adolescents are aware about the importance of the healthy lifestyle, it is challenging for them to maintain it. In order to change adolescents’ attitudes towards unhealthy behaviour, it is necessary to carry out targeted interventions. Key messages • Health education is a necessary component for healthy lifestyle. • Healthy lifestyle requires careful study of the issue and making evidence-based conclusions.

4.K. Workshop: Promoting and enhancing health literacy through school interventions

Abstract The promotion and enhancement of health literacy in school-aged children is an important public health and education goal. To ensure healthy behaviours and attitudes in adulthood, children and adolescents have to learn about health and well-being early in life. Toward this goal, schools are considered the most important setting to address health literacy. Interventions delivered in schools can reach all children regardless of their social, cultural or development background. In the education sector, health literacy interventions can address not only the skills, attitudes and knowledge of students, but that of teachers, principals, health and education staff, as well as the whole school setting. Health literacy is linked to education, while it mainly addresses how people manage health information. In this context, health literacy enables children and adolescent to find, understand and critically appraise health information and use it to guide informed health decisions and promote health behaviour. While this understanding targets personal competencies of individuals, health literacy is also directed towards the environment. For example, the concept of organizational health literacy aims at increasing health literacy capacities of the environment and within settings, such as schools. This makes health literacy an important concept at the intersection of behaviour change (agency: personal health literacy) and social change (structure: organizational health literacy). While the behavioural approach is most promising to equip students with the necessary skills to act as their own agents of health information management and improve their health agency capacities, the social approach further includes consideration of social determinants of health to provide child- and adolescent-friendly environments and conditions. Therefore, effective health literacy interventions should aim at combining behavioural and social approaches, especially in such vulnerable groups as children and adolescents. The purpose of this workshop is to present and discuss four interventions on health literacy drawing on behavioural and social sciences. (i) The first presentation will introduce the Health Literacy Toolbox for Schools (Tool-HLCA). (ii) The second presentation will introduce a school curriculum for classroom based Mental Health Literacy (HLCA-IMPRES). (iii) The third presentation will provide the organizational health literacy school intervention: Health Literate Schools (HeLit-Schools). (iv) The fourth will present applied data on mental health literacy in teachers and an instrument to measure action competencies of teachers with respect to promoting their students’ mental health (MHAC). Each project will be given ten minutes to present their interventions and main findings, including time to discuss with the audiences and get feedback. The participants in turn will learn about recent empirical findings they can use in health literacy practice and policy. Key messages • Children and adolescent will benefit from early interventions to develop healthy behaviours and lifestyles in their life-course. • Health literacy is an important school topic and should be addressed within behavioural and social approaches.

Bullying in Adolescents Practising Sport: A Structural Model Approach.

This article aims to analyse the relationship between the bullying aggressor and bullying victim profile related to practising or not practising sport in adolescents living in southern Spain. The research includes male and female participants aged between 12 and 16 years in different secondary schools in the provinces of Andalusia, Ceuta and Melilla in the period between February 2022 and June 2022. The study aims to extend the existing scientific, theoretical and empirical knowledge on the influence of playing sport or not on disruptive bullying attitudes in adolescents. To this end, two initial hypotheses were designed; the first hypothesises that bullying victim behaviours are associated with future bullying aggressor behaviours when practising sport; and the second states that victim behaviours are associated with future bullying aggressor behaviours when not practising sport. To verify them, SPSS software was used for the preliminary analysis of the scale and sociodemographic profile. Additionally, the study is based on structural equation modelling methodology and variance-based methods employing SmartPLS v3.3 software. The results show the importance of sport or physical activity to reduce the chances of carrying out bullying actions on other peers and/or classmates. Therefore, it is considered necessary to prevent bullying in the classroom by implementing sports intervention programmes in educational centres.

Well-Being and Spiritual Intelligence Predict Attitudes of Adolescents’ Towards Violence

In this study, it is aimed to examine the relationships between the well-being, spiritual intelligence and attitudes of adolescents living in Turkey towards violence. The sample of the study consists of 466 high school students (194 girls, 272 boys) aged between 14 and 19, selected using the convenience sampling method. In the study, “Scale for Spiritual Intelligence”, “Five-Dimensional Well-being for Adolescents (EPOCH) Scale” and “Attitude towards Violence Scale for Adolescents” and demographic information form were used as measurement tools. Hierarchical regression analysis was used to test the predictiveness of adolescents’ well-being and spiritual intelligence on their attitudes towards violence. According to the findings obtained from the research, there is a moderately negative and significant relationship between attitude towards violence and well-being. It is seen that there is a low negative and significant relationship between attitude towards violence and spiritual intelligence. It was identified that there is a moderate positive and significant relationship between well-being and spiritual intelligence scores. The well- being variable explaining 32% of the attitude scores towards violence was first included in the staged multiple regression analysis performed. And in the second stage, the spiritual intelligence variable, which contributes 2% to the explained variance, was also included. When the total variance explained is examined, it is seen that the variables of well-being and spiritual intelligence together explain 34% of the total variance in the attitude scores towards violence. This finding shows us that the change in well-being and spiritual intelligence scores predicts the change in the scores of the attitude towards violence.
