Methods This is a school-based intervention study. Four junior middle schools and two senior middle schools in Xuhui District, Shanghai, were selected as study sites involving parents, two junior middle schools and one senior middle school as the intervention group and others as control group. The intervention group was provided with both school and family education which contained giving lectures, distributing leaflets, organizing group discussions and parent-adolescent communicating activities to parents. Data were collected through anonymous and self-administered questionnaires before and after one-year intervention to evaluate the effect of the intervention. Results The average score of parents in the intervention group was higher than that in the control group after intervention. Particularly, the mean score of AIDS knowledge in the intervention group was increased by 10.5, which was more than that of control group （5.3）. The intervention increased the parents＇ intention to family sex education. The percentage of parents in the intervention group approving ＂sex education should be provided by parents＂ had increased, much higher than that in the control group. Intervention also promoted parent-adolescent communication about sex. The percentage of parents reporting ＂they actively talked with their children about sex or their teens asked them questions related to sex＂ had increased, much higher than that in the control group. Conclusion Family-school combined sex education significantly increased sexual knowledge and sex education intention of parents, promoted the parent-adolescent communication about sex as well.展开更多

文摘This study examined the impact of teacher-student relationship quality on students’risk of bullying victimiza-tion and the mediating roles of student-student relationships and student engagement in this relationship.A total of 656 Chinese junior high school students(females=361,mean age=13.75,SD=0.98)completed validated measures of teacher-student relationship quality,student-student relationship quality,student engagement,and bullying victimization.Regression analysis results indicated that higher teacher-student relationship quality predicted a lower risk of student bullying victimization.Serial mediating effect testing of the student-student relationship quality and student engagement revealed that these factors fully mediated the relationship between teacher-student relationship quality and bullying victimization,resulting in a lower risk of bullying victimization.The results showed that student-student relationship quality had a more substantial mediating effect than student engagement.Thefindings support the Socio-Ecological Framework,suggesting that within the Microsystem,interactions between individuals and their immediate environments significantly impact their behavior.Specifically,thesefindings suggest that good teacher-student relationships can enhance the quality of student-student relationships and student engagement,thereby preventing and reducing the occurrence of bullying victimization.
文摘The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between frustration education and frustration level of middle school students in a city during the 2022-2023 school year.Descriptive correlation analysis was applied to 270 students.Chi-square is a statistical tool used in the study.According to the findings,there are more women than men,and most are from rural areas.The findings suggest that understanding the significant correlation between frustration and educational assessments of social dimensions and overall frustration can provide insight into potential areas for intervention and support.While the academic and instructional dimensions may not be directly related to the level of frustration in this study,it is important to explore other factors that may be contributing to academic frustration or areas where instructional strategies could be improved.A social skills development program aims to address this problem.
