Description

The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of feeling unwell and the coping styles of Japanese junior high school students. A questionnaire survey of ８１４ junior high school students was conducted in ２００３． An original questionnaire was developed, consisting of questions relating to １） lifestyle, including sleeping and eating habits, and ２）the characteristics of feeling unwell and coping mechanisms. The data was analysed using descriptive statistics and ▯２ or Wilcoxon to investigate the relationship between variables. Eight hundred and eight（８０８）questionnaire were returned. About ３０-４０% of respondents experienced stomach ache, headache and fatigue on a daily basis. Their grade, gender, lifestyle and the frequency of feeling unwell were associated with their coping styles. As students got older, their coping style became more independent. Junior high school may be the time to develop an independent coping style based on their own experiences as well as health education at school and home. There was a strong relationship between the coping style and gender. Girls tend to use a more internal locus of control and self-judgment, whereas girls tell others and choose rational and reliable strategies for coping. The results indicate that comprehensive and individualized health education and guidance incorporating personal development, gender and lifestyle are needed. The study’s results provide basic information for the development of health education strategies for school children.
