Exploring Health Trends and Prevalent Ailments across Grade Levels: An In-Depth Analysis of Reported Complaints among Students
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 02
Abstract
This qualitative study reconnoiters student health complaints at Saint Michael’s College Senior High School, employing a mixed-methods approach that integrates existing data from school nurses’ logbook records with new data obtained through surveys and interviews. Thematic analysis is utilized to identify common words and patterns within the qualitative data. The data collection process involves a letter of request distributed to students, assuring confidentiality, and the random selection of 30 participants for surveys and interviews. The results reveal prevalent health themes, including stress, sleep-related issues, mental health concerns, and technology-related complaints. Students’ personal experiences underscore the complexity of health challenges, including musculoskeletal complaints, allergies, and mental health issues. The diverse impacts on academic courses emphasize the importance of proactive support systems addressing the specific needs of students. Recognizing the transition from external to internal health issues necessitates a holistic strategy that prioritizes both mental and physical well-being. The study underscores the importance of adapting health programs to evolving classroom demands, addressing not only physical ailments but also prioritizing mental health aspects for comprehensive student well-being. This examination will underwrite valuable information for educators, health professionals, and policymakers to address the specific health needs of students and implement targeted interpolations for improved health outcomes within educational environments.
