Volcano disaster management in Indonesia is considered less than optimal because several areas are close to volcanoes and need to implement disaster management properly. Indonesia, with around 13,000 active volcanoes, has caused considerable losses. Mount Raung is an active volcano located in Panjen Hamlet, Jambewangi Village, Sempu District, East Java, with a peak reaching 3,332 meters above sea level and administratively included in three districts, namely Banyuwangi, Bondowoso, and Jember. The respondents used were 20 adolescents aged 18-21 years. The instrument used was a pre-test and post-test questionnaire in a Google Form. The pre-test found that adolescents' knowledge of disaster management needed to be improved. Post-test results found an increase in adolescent knowledge about disaster management to be good. Before respondents received empowerment in Mount Raung disaster management through socialization, they needed more knowledge about Mount Raung disaster management. After the socialization, the data showed that the majority of teenagers in Panjen Hamlet, namely 18 respondents (90%), had a good level of knowledge about Mount Raung disaster management. The implementation of socialization can overcome this problem because socialization is a process of learning, introducing, and disseminating knowledge, ways of life, or social values appropriate to the group to achieve a more developed personality. Socialization is effectively used as an information medium to increase adolescents' knowledge about disaster management.

Nutritional knowledge, nutritional status and associated factors among pregnant adolescents in the West Arsi Zone, central Ethiopia

When pregnancy occur among teenagers; there is a competition for nutrients between the still-growing adolescent mother and her fetus. Pregnant adolescents’ nutrition issues are not addressed well and changes are too slow in Ethiopia. This study aimed to study, nutrition knowledge, nutritional status and associated factors among pregnant adolescents in West Arsi , central Ethiopia. We conducted a cross-sectional study of 426 pregnant adolescents between January 1 and January 25, 2023. Data were collected using kobo collect and analyzed using SPSS version 25. We performed linear regression to identify independent predictors of nutritional status and multivariable logistic regression analyses to identify nutritional knowledge. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals were estimated to show the strength of the association. Magnitude of good nutrition knowledge was 23.7%, 95% CI (21.4–25.3%), and the odds of having good nutrition knowledge was 7.5 times higher among participants whose education level was above college compared with illiterate participants [(AOR = 7.5, 95% CI = (5.27–9.38)],the odds of having good nutrition knowledge was 8 times higher among adolescent who had ANC visits, [(AOR = 8, 95% CI = (3.63–13.85)], and the odds of having good nutrition knowledge was 5 times higher among adolescents who received nutrition education [(AOR = 5, 95% CI = (3.67- 13.53)]. Receiving nutrition education (β = 0.25, P = 0.002) and good nutrition knowledge (β = 0.08, P < 0.001) were positively associated with nutritional status; however, food insecurity (β = − 0.93, P < 0.001) was negatively associated with nutritional status. The nutrition knowledge of pregnant adolescents was suboptimal; educational status, ANC visits and nutrition education were associated with good nutrition knowledge, whereas food insecurity, low nutrition knowledge, and not receiving nutrition education were predictors of poor nutritional status. Nutritional education interventions, increasing utilization of ANC, and interventions for improving food security are strongly recommended.

The effect of eight-week nutrition education on nutrition knowledge, nutrition literacy, and mediterranean diet in Turkish adolescents

Introducción: La adolescencia, cuando las decisiones nutricionales se toman mayoritariamente de forma individual, es un período crítico en el que los hábitos alimentarios son orientables. Este estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar la eficacia de la educación nutricional sobre el conocimiento nutricional, la alfabetización nutricional y la dieta mediterránea en adolescentes turcos en el primer año de escuela secundaria. Metodología: Este estudio se realizó en 47 estudiantes de entre 14 y 16 años de una escuela secundaria en Ankara, Türkiye. Se utilizó un diseño experimental con pretest-postest. Los estudiantes recibieron educación durante ocho semanas después de la administración de la prueba previa. Se administraron pruebas posteriores después de la intervención de ocho semanas. Las pruebas de seguimiento se administraron en la semana dieciséis, ocho semanas después de la administración de las pruebas posteriores. El Índice de Calidad de la Dieta Mediterránea para Niños y Adolescentes (KIDMed), la Escala de Alfabetización Nutricional de Adolescentes (ANSL) y la autoevaluación de conocimientos nutricionales se compararon en tres momentos: preeducación, posteducación y seguimiento. Todos los formularios se utilizaron en formato papel en un entorno de clase durante el horario regular de instrucción escolar. Resultados: La mayoría de los que autoevaluaron sus conocimientos nutricionales previos a la educación como insuficientes/no sabían evaluaron sus conocimientos nutricionales posteducación (57,1%; p=0,027) y de seguimiento (50%; p=0,013) como suficientes. . Sin embargo, no hubo diferencias significativas entre las puntuaciones de los ítems ANSL antes de la educación y las posteriores a la educación y el seguimiento (p&gt;0,05). Ninguno de los ítems de KIDMed mostró tampoco un cambio significativo en la dirección deseada (mostrando una nutrición más saludable) (p&gt;.05). Entre los ítems de KIDMed, sólo el cambio (en la dirección negativa) para "Tiene cereales o granos para el desayuno" fue estadísticamente significativo (p=0,044 para las diferencias en las pruebas pre-post y p=0,010 para las diferencias pre-seguimiento). Conclusiones: La intervención nutricional mejoró el conocimiento nutricional autoinformado por los adolescentes. Sin embargo, fue insuficiente para mejorar la alfabetización nutricional y la dieta mediterránea. Al planificar intervenciones dietéticas para mejorar la dieta o las conductas alimentarias de los adolescentes, se sugiere considerar factores individuales relacionados con los adolescentes, así como los campos de Internet y las redes sociales y el entorno alimentario de la escuela y el hogar.

Providing Adolescents with Access to Online Patient Portals: Interviews with Parent-Adolescent Dyads

To identify perceived benefits, problems, facilitators, and barriers to adolescent online patient portal use. Qualitative, semi-structured interviews with dyads of parents and adolescents with or without chronic illness. The study team purposively sampled for racial and ethnic minorities and fathers. Three team members then performed thematic analysis of the transcripts, with subsequent dyadic analysis of themes represented by related parents and adolescents. We performed 102 interviews with 51 dyads of parents and adolescents (26 with chronic illness, 25 without chronic illness). Nearly all participants believed that adolescents should be permitted portal access. We identified 4 themes related to portal benefits: improves adolescent's knowledge of health; supports medical self-management and autonomy; strengthens communication and relationships; and supports parental influence. We identified 4 themes related to portal problems: misunderstanding or confusion; emotional distress; strain on relationships; and irresponsible use of portal. Facilitators of portal use included severity of illness, adolescent's curiosity, and ease of technology use. Barriers included lack of awareness or interest, complexity of information, and access difficulties. Twenty adolescents (39%) did not know they could access the portal, and 23 (45%) lacked interest in portals. Parents and adolescents seldom used the portal as a collaborative tool, and instead were engaging with the portal independently. Parents and adolescents perceive several benefits and problems with portal use, but many adolescents lack interest in using portals. Adolescent portals represent an underutilized resource to engage adolescents in their care.
