INTRODUCTION: Early detection of various illness of preschoolers and students is an important component of school medicine. The periodic examination of the health status carried out in the school medical offices, the referral of preschoolers and students to other specialties physicians and the recommendation of recovery measures are essential for maintaining the health status of the children and young people collectivities. OBJECTIVES: The study aims to highlight how the periodic examination of the health status of preschoolers and students is carried out in medical offices in kindergartens and schools in Romania, and what are the difficulties that health professionals face in achieving it. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A questionnaire with preset/free answers was sent in June 2022 to the doctors from school medical offices all across the country, through the Google Forms platform, and the questions were regarding their activity in the 2021/2022 school year. Data confidentiality was strictly respected. The answers were analysed. RESULTS: 198 filled forms were received, from which 74% were from doctors working in the county seat. 58,8% of the responding doctors provide medical assistance in 3 or more schools/highschools and 32,84% of them also have 3 or more kindergartens in their work schedule. A periodic health check-up is carried out for all preschoolers in kindergarten, 1st grade students, 4th grade students, 8th grade students, 12th grade students and students in the final year of vocational school. The difficulties encountered in carrying out the medical examinations are: difficulty of children being allowed to skip classes to attend the medical examination 54,5%, lack of time due to other activities 36%, parents’/children’s refusal 24%. 5.05% of responding doctors faced no difficulties. Following the medical examinations new cases of cardiovascular, dermatological or endocrine ailments as well as new cases of hypertension, postural defects, obesity and refractive errors have been identified. The doctors participating in our study have issued referrals to the following specialities: ophthalmology 77,5%, cardiology - 53,5%, pediatrics - 52%, balneology / orthopedics - 50%, ENT - 40%, endocrinology - 32%. From the responding doctors 60,8% have issued referrals to various specialties, but only 11% have a Convention with the Health Insurance House. The equipment of the medical offices in the schools of the doctors from our study consists of: scales - 98,5%, tensiometer - 98%, thaliometer - 94,5%, optotype - 91%, Ishihara color test plates- 24%, scoliometer - 4%. 25% of doctors do not have a computer / laptop / tablet in any of the school medical offices, 48,5% do not have a printer / multifunctional printer in any of the school medical offices, and 18% do not have an internet connection in any of the school medical offices. CONCLUSIONS: The medical examination of the health status of preschoolers and students is carried out regularly in the school medi

Introduction: The current pandemic has affected the education of children in an unprecedented way. Children are not able to go to school and in a short span of time schools have tried to come up with online teaching methods which have not been validated. This study was undertaken to assess children's viewpoint on this new mode of teaching. Aims: The primary objective of the present study was to assess the clarity, logical flow and effectiveness of online teaching learning in middle school and high school students. The secondary objective was to assess the student satisfaction after 6 months of online teaching. We also wanted to identify the mental health of students after e-learning. Methodology: After obtaining consent from parents and school principal, a questionnaire on new learning method and the ease of understanding was shared with students in google form.Their responses were assessed in various dimensions. Results: Students felt lonely and tired at the end of e-learning sessions. They felt that they are missing on co-curricular and extracurricular activities. There was difficulty in falling asleep and missing of peer groups. Conclusions: E –learning is the need of the hour. Despite user ease and accessibility, e–learning cannot completely replace in-campus learning. Multiple aspects of student mental health are being compromised in a pure e-learning school. Blended learning is a useful modality and its implications remain to be analyzed.

PREMISES: Romanian and foreign students of the six Cluj universities are increasing in number, spending five and six years respectively in Cluj Napoca to complete their studies. University medical offices have an important role in providing preventive and curative medical assistance to students aged 18-26 during their study years (bachelor’s, master’s, doctorate level). The medical staff ensures both the management of acute illness situations, the provision of first aid, primary prevention, health education and the dispensary of chronic diseases. OBJECTIVES: evaluation of the activity of university medical units during an academic year MATERIAL AND METHOD: the activity report consisted in analyzing and comparing the monthly statistical data completed by the medical staff regarding the activity of the Cluj university medical units during the academic year 2021-2022 (hybrid education, online and on site) RESULTS: In the academic year 2021-2022, a number of 24406 consultations were carried out at the medical units, of which 4053 foreign students, 3144 treatments, 24577 triages (4221 triages for accommodation in dormitories and 20356 triages in special epidemiological conditions), 2193 COVID tests, 549 vaccinations, 4478 simple and electronic prescriptions were prescribed, 3576 referral tickets for specialist consultations were issued, 3767 preventive health examinations were carried out, 934 hygienic-sanitary checks were carried out in dormitories and student canteens, 5530 medical certificates were issued; 469 SARS-COV2 positive students were also monitored, of which 418 were detected and confirmed at the student medical units through rapid antigenic tests. The distribution of these activities on student medical units was different considering the type of education (online, hybrid or on site), the specifics of the universities and the number of students enrolled. CONCLUSIONS: As it emerges from the evaluation of the activity of medical units, their role is an important and imperative one to ensure preventive and curative medical assistance during the years of study, both in the educational units where the didactic activity is carried out and and in the accommodation spaces. The activity of medical units in the collectives of children and young people is complex, combining hygienic-sanitary, epidemiological, legislative, preventive and curative medicine aspects.

Objective: This study was carried out in order to determine the anxiety and depression levels of refugee children. Material and Method: This study was carried out with 140 refugee children studying at secondary and high schools located in the central district of Erzincan province of Turkey between January and April 2022. Data were collected with Socio-demographic Questionnaire, “State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children”, and “Child Depression Scale”. Percent, means, simple t-test, One Way Anova Test, and multiple regression analysis were utilized in the analysis of the data. Results: In the study, the variables of loss of father, education, separation from the family during the war, duration of life in Turkey, having any chronic disease, and smoking were observed to be eff ective on the total score of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAIC). While it was found that the mother/ father alive, the duration of living in Turkey, and having any chronic disease had an eff ect on the CDI total score (p<0.05). It was determined that the total mean score of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was 35.03 ±7.10, and the mean total score of CDI was 16.34 ±8.28. Furthermore, it was determined that 20.7% of refugee children had high levels of anxiety and 37.9% had depression. Conclusion: Study fi ndings have showed that refugee children have mental health problems while less than half of them experience high levels of anxiety and depression.

Diabetul zaharat (DZ) de tip 1 este considerat la ora actuala ca o afectiune autoimuna cu etiologie multifactoriala, produs de o interactiune complexa a mai multor factori genetici, epigenetici si de mediu, a caror consecinta este distructia progresiva a celulelor beta-pancreatice (cele care sintetizeaza insulina) si în final, deficitul absolut de insulina endogena. Aproximativ 5-10% din toti pacientii cu diabet au diabet zaharat de tip 1. DZ de tip 1 este mediat imun în peste 90% din cazuri si poate aparea la orice grupa de vârsta, dar este cel mai frecvent la copii si adulti tineri, de asemenea are un grad ridicat de concordanta ridicata în rândul gemenilor monozigoti (33 pâna la 42%) si se manifesta puternic în familii (15% din cazurile de DZ prezinta agregare familiala) cu risc mare pentru rudele de gr I (6-7% familie vs 0,4% populatia generala) cu o amprenta parentala (7-8% tata-copil vs 2-4% mama-copil), riscul între frati fiind de aproximativ 10 ori mai mare decât riscul în populatia generala. Studiile geneticii DZ de tip 1 au dezvaluit contributia cheie a regiunii antigenului leucocitar uman (HLA) la susceptibilitatea DZ de tip 1, abordarile de familie si studiul genelor candidate au descoperit înca cinci loci asociati cu DZ de tip 1, iar studiile de asociere la nivelul genomului (GWAS) a crescut numarul de loci la peste 60. Identificarea si studiul actiunii genelor de susceptibilitate pentru DZ de tip 1 ar putea sa puna în evidenta depistarea precoce a prediabetului si formelor necomplicate dar si elaborarea unor noi tinte si strategii terapeutice si elaborarea unui plan de tratament personalizat.

Aims: Individuals may consume more food than normal in response to negative emotions such as anxiety or irritability. One of the eating problems in which this food is consumed is defi ned as emotional eating, and emotional eating is an eating disorder that describes the tendency to overeat in response to negative emotions. The study was carried out to analyze the effect of anxiety due to the COVID-19 pandemic upon emotional eating in university students. Methods: This descriptive research was conducted in May-June 2020 with 718 students who continue their university education in Turkey, have internet access and volunteer to participate in the research. Data were collected by snowball method by sending the survey link via Whatsapp groups. Data were collected online using the Descriptive Questionnaire, the State Anxiety Scale and the Emotional Eating Scale. The participant’s statement was taken as a basis for the measurement values of body weight and height. Ethical principles were observed at all stages of the study. Results: Totally 718 university students including 136 (18.9%) males and 582 (81.1%) females with a mean age of 21.51±7.08 participated into the study. The total score average of the Emotional Eating Scale was found to be 47.30±20.63. It was determined that the average score of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory was 40.24 ± 5.72, and 46.7% of the students had low, 52.6% had medium and 0.7% had high level anxiety. A weakly positive signifi cant relationship was revealed between the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory score and Emotional Eating Scale score (r=0.160, p<0.01). Conclusions: It was concluded that university students were anxious at different levels during the COVID-19 pandemic, and their anxiety affected emotional eating.

Aims: The research was conducted to determine the effect of parents' stress levels related to the COVID-19 pandemic on digital parenting awareness. Materials: This descriptive study was conducted between November 2020-January 2021 with 452 parents residing in Turkey, whose children attended primary school. The data were collected online with a data collection tool consisting of the PSS and the DPAS. Results: It was found that the variables of occupation and number of children of the parents participating in the research are influence the mean scores of DPAS, while the variables of occupation, age, income perception, adaptation to the pandemic process, time spent with the child and the way the relationship with family members are perceived are influence the mean scores of PSS. It was found that, among the characteristics of using digital tools, the parent's phone/tablet usage time, the parent's daily phone/tablet usage time, and the child's status of having his/her own tablet were effective on the mean DPAS score; the variables of parents not knowing their children's use of smart phones/tablets for playing games, homework or educational purposes and not knowing the usage for what purpose were effective variables the mean PSS score. The total mean score of DPAS was determined to be 45.13±9.06, and the mean total score of PSS was determined to be 13.82±2.82. Conclusion: As a result of the research, it was determined that the stress levels perceived by the parents had an effect on digital parenting awareness.

Results: It was found that the variables of occupation and number of children of the parents participating in the research are influence the mean scores of DPAS, while the variables of occupation, age, income perception, adaptation to the pandemic process, time spent with the child and the way the relationship with family members are perceived are influence the mean scores of PSS. It was found that, among the characteristics of using digital tools, the parent's phone/tablet usage time, the parent's daily phone/tablet usage time, and the child's status of having his/her own tablet were effective on the mean DPAS score; the variables of parents not knowing their children's use of smart phones/tablets for playing games, homework or educational purposes and not knowing the usage for what purpose were effective variables the mean PSS score. The total mean score of DPAS was determined to be 45.13±9.06, and the mean total score of PSS was determined to be 13.82±2.82. Conclusion: As a result of the research, it was determined that the stress levels perceived by the parents had an effect on digital parenting awareness.","PeriodicalId":237621,"journal":{"name":"Journal of School and University Medicine","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131137251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Covid-19 disruption has led to a dramatic loss of patients infected with SarsCov2 agent. With a well-reviewed vulnerability for the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, studies have expressed concern also for the neurological system. Lately, a number of cases regarding manifestations of central nervous- and peripheral nervous system have been reported, raising awareness of the high prevalence of prolonged neurological symptoms. Although affecting a smaller number of patients in comparison to central nervous system, the peripheral nervous system disorders have impacted the quality of patient’s life to a great extent. Infection with SarsCov2 has been connected with the development of several disorders like Guillain -Barre syndrome, or affection of cranial nerves with anosmia and disgeusia being the most encountered. Furthermore, exacerbation of symptoms involving already established disorders like CIDP and Miastenia Gravis have also been revealed. Nonetheless, neurological complications following vaccination against SarsCov2 infection cannot be omitted.

INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic is a difficult time for many adolescents who are at a critical stage in the development of their lives. AIMS: The present study aimed to assess the relationship between the level of stress perceived by high school students in Cluj County in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and their level of well-being. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Personal Wellbeing index- School Children and Happiness with life as a whole item were used to asses well-being, and COVID-19 Student Stress Questionnaire was used to asses the level of stress of high school students generated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The three working tools were applied to a number of 604 students, a representative sample at the level of Cluj County in terms of mass education units with grades IX-XII of different fields (theoretical, vocational, technological, professional education). RESULTS: The results showed that the level of well-being decreases as the level of stress generated by the covid-19 pandemic increases. Girls have a significantly lower level of well-being and happiness with life as a whole than boys and a significantly higher level of stress than them. The proportion of students who obtained high (normal) values ??of the well-being index is 87.3%. Students who have obtained lower than normal well-being values ??(12.7%) should not be neglected. In particular, more attention should be paid to those who have achieved very low well-being values ??(2.6%). CONCLUSIONS: Knowing some issues related to the relationship between the stress perceived by students in Cluj County during the COVID-19 pandemic and their well-being is important as a first step for initiating other studies with this topic, from other regions of the country, in order to identify young people at risk and providing the necessary psychological support for appropriate emotional adjustment.
