Breast cancer is a serious health problem among women, with incidence and mortality rates that continue to rise. The disease is often detected at an advanced stage due to low levels of awareness, knowledge, and skills related to early detection. Among adolescent girls, particularly high school students, knowledge and skills regarding Breast Self-Examination (BSE) remain limited. This is largely due to restricted access to health information, a lack of targeted educational initiatives, and learning methods that are insufficiently engaging. BSE is a simple and effective early detection method that can be performed independently beginning in adolescence. Video-based education is considered an effective tool for enhancing adolescents’ understanding. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of video-based education in improving knowledge and BSE skills among Grade XI female students at MAN (State Islamic Senior High School) 2 Yogyakarta. This study employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. The study population consisted of all Grade XI female students at MAN 2 Yogyakarta, with a sample of 59 students selected through purposive sampling on predetermined inclusion criteria. The intervention involved a single session of a BSE educational video lasting approximately seven minutes. It was conducted in 15 groups, with each group accompanied by one facilitator. Data were analyzed using the nonparametric Wilcoxon statistical test. The Wilcoxon test results showed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05) for both knowledge and skills variables, indicating a statistically significant improvement between the pre-test and post-test scores. In conclusion, video-based education was proven effective in improving knowledge and BSE skills among Grade XI female students at MAN 2 Yogyakarta. Future researchers are encouraged to assess BSE skills using a structured checklist based on standardized evaluation criteria.  

Syphilis is one of the reproductive health problems that remains a challenge in Indonesia, with a trend of increasing cases, while the level of adolescent knowledge about this disease is still low. Educational efforts are needed to improve adolescent understanding, one of which is through video media which is considered more interesting because it combines visual and audio elements. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of video as an educational medium in improving adolescent knowledge about syphilis at SMKS Al Hikmah 2 Sirampog, Brebes Regency. This type of research is a pre-experimental study with a one group pretest-posttest design. The study sample consisted of 47 students selected using a purposive sampling technique. The research instrument was a syphilis knowledge questionnaire administered before and after the educational video intervention. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and N-Gain calculation. The study showed that Results Before the intervention, the level of knowledge of respondents was in the good category for 24 students (51.1%), sufficient for 11 students (25.5%), and poor for 12 students (23.4%). After being given the educational video intervention, there was a significant increase with all respondents (100%) being in the good category. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test showed a significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (p-value = 0.000). N-Gain analysis categorized the increase in knowledge as high. The study concluded that video media has proven effective as an educational tool in increasing adolescent knowledge about syphilis, making it a viable alternative learning medium in reproductive health programs.

In the final phase of their studies, students often experience intense psychological pressure, especially when writing their final thesis. If this academic stress is not managed optimally, it can cause mental health problems, reduce internal motivation, and lead to despair in the context of education. Hardiness personality is one of the psychological characteristics that is believed to play a crucial role in dealing with such situations. Hardiness encompasses the dimensions of control, commitment, and the ability to see challenges as opportunities, thereby encouraging individuals to persevere in the face of external pressures. This study focuses on the relationship between hardiness personality and the level of stress experienced by final-year students of the Diploma Three Nursing Study Program at Abulyatama University while writing scientific papers. This study used a correlational quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, involving 63 students selected through proportional random sampling. The Dispositional Resilience Scale (DRS) was used to measure hardiness, while the Student-Life Stress Inventory (SSI) was used to assess stress levels. Data collection took place from April 26 to May 8, 2025. To obtain valid results, data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of 0.05. The research findings show a significant negative correlation between hardiness personality and stress levels in the process of writing scientific papers (p=0.004; p<0.05). Students who show high levels of hardiness tend to experience lower stress during the preparation of scientific papers, while those with low hardiness are more vulnerable to high academic pressure. Based on these results, it can be concluded that increasing hardiness in students is very important as a strategy for dealing with academic demands, especially in writing scientific papers. Thus, students are expected to be able to strengthen their self-control, commitment to the learning process, and positive perspective towards various challenges.

This study aims to determine the level of problematic smartphone use (PSU) and revenge sleep procrastination (RBP) among MTs/SMP students in District X, while also examining the relationship between the two variables. The problem of excessive smartphone use among adolescents is increasingly important to study because it can impact sleep quality, learning concentration, and mental health. This research approach uses a quantitative correlational method with data collection through a bold questionnaire (Google Form). The research sample consisted of 103 MTs/SMP students in District X who were selected using an incidental sampling technique. The RBP variable measurement scale was developed by the researcher with reference to aspects proposed by Kroese et al. (2014). Meanwhile, the PSU Scale was developed based on dimensions formulated by Foerster et al. (2015), including withdrawal, desire, loss of control, dependence on peers, and negative life consequences. The results of the correlation analysis showed that PSU had a very strong positive relationship with RBP (r = 0.833) and was statistically significant (p < 0.000). This means that the higher a person's tendency to experience problematic smartphone use, the greater the likelihood of revenge bedtime delay. Among the dimensions of PSU, withdrawal showed the highest correlation with RBP (r = 0.831). This was followed by negative life consequences (r = 0.778), craving (r = 0.577), loss of control (r = 0.489), and dependence on peers (r = 0.333). Overall, this study concludes that PSU plays a significant role in increasing RBP trends among students. These findings highlight the urgent need for awareness and intervention programs to reduce excessive smartphone use among adolescents. Therefore, the results of this study are expected to serve as a reference for schools and parents in designing strategies to prevent the negative impacts of smartphone use on adolescents.

Sexual violence among adolescents is an increasingly serious issue, exacerbated by limited knowledge and lack of education, which heightens their vulnerability. One innovative approach to addressing this problem is the use of educational applications such as BEYDI (Self-Empowerment), designed to enhance adolescents’ awareness and knowledge of sexual violence prevention. This study aimed to determine the effect of BEYDI application-based education on students’ knowledge regarding sexual violence prevention at SMPN 3 Lamongan. The study employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The population consisted of 63 eighth-grade students from classes 8A and 8B, selected through total sampling. Data were collected using pretest and posttest questionnaires and analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results indicated a significant increase in students’ knowledge after receiving the educational intervention via the BEYDI application (p < 0.05). It can be concluded that the BEYDI app-based education was effective in enhancing students’ knowledge of sexual violence prevention and can be considered an interactive and efficient alternative educational tool in the school setting.

This study aims to determine how learning motivation in adolescents whom single mothers raise. This research method used qualitative methods with a case study approach. The research respondents were three adolescent single mothers in Purworejo Regency who were selected using a purposive sampling technique with the provision of single mothers. The results of the descriptive analysis show that adolescents who were cared for by single mothers experience problems related to learning motivation. The specific problems experienced by the three respondents were motivation and interest in learning. The lack of a mother's role in providing learning motivation affects students' low motivation to study toward their learning achievement. Based on the research results, the three respondents have different characteristics. Respondents have a high curiosity for new things. The lack of curiosity in respondents with low curiosity is due to inhibiting factors that make respondents lack interest in learning. The high level of creativity in correcting failures and mastery of learning materials owned by the three respondents had an optimistic impact on the learning process and outcomes. The lack of sympathy from the closest people, especially the mother, made the respondents indifferent to the learning outcomes they achieved, so laziness and decreased interest in learning arose in the respondents. Lack of control over study hours makes respondents often ignore study time and choose to play on their gadgets, decreasing student learning scores/achievement.
