The research method used factor analysis and covariance structure analysis.Findings: Anxiety level of college students did not have a significant effect on emotional clarity. Second, the level of depression in college students had a significant effect on emotional clarity. Third, the emotional perception clarity of college students had a significant effect on psychological well-being. Fourth, anxiety levels did not have a significant effect on psychological well-being. Fifth, the depression level of college students had a significant effect on psychological well-being. Sixth, the mediating effect of emotional perception clarity on the causal relationship between depression level and psychological well-being of college students was found to be partial mediating effect.Improvements/Applications: Based on the results of this study, online self-diagnosis service expansion is required for college students to be aware of their psychological emotional problems, and practical help and training are required to control negative emotional experiences by clearly recognizing emotions. This will provide a foundation for college students to increase their psychological well-being by increasing their ability to respond appropriately to changing circumstances.","PeriodicalId":516946,"journal":{"name":"Medico Legal Update","volume":"46 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141215730","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}

There was a statistically significant negative correlation (r = -0.622, p <.01) in satisfaction with heterosexual relationship and adult attachment, and significant positive correlation (r = 0.236, p <.01) between heterosexual satisfaction and gender role attitude.

The equipment used was Qraycam and a plaque control records (O’Leary index); oral health attitudes and behaviours were investigated. Differences in participant characteristics according to Qraycam use were analysed by ?2 test, while changes in the PCR(O’Leary index) by area for Qraycam use and non-use groups were analysed by pre-post paired-samples t-test. The influence on the oral health attitudes of the Qraycam use group was analysed by multiple linear regression analysis. All analyses were performed using IBM SPSS ver. 25.0 (IBM Co., Armonk, NY, USA) and the significance level for statistical testing was set to 0.05.Findings: In the Qraycam use group, a decrease in the PCR in the left and right sides showed statistically significant differences (p<0.05), while a change in the total PCR also showed a statistically significant difference (p<0.05), with the right side showing a greater change in dental plaque. In the Qraycam non-use group, there were no statistically significant differences in the decrease in the left, right, and total PCR. In the Qraycam-use group, the biggest influencing factor on oral health attitudes was oral health behaviour (p<0.05).Improvements/Applications: PCR(O’Leary index) decreased significantly in the Qraycam use group, influencing oral health education, attitudes, and behaviours. The active use of Qraycam for community-based oral health activities and clinical dentistry would assist oral health promotion.","PeriodicalId":516946,"journal":{"name":"Medico Legal Update","volume":"58 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141215727","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}

Purpose: investigate how the correlation between stress perception and stress response against IPA for adolescents based on psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) concept. Method: This research used cross-sectional design. There were 39 Senior High School students, who were indicated to undergo internet psychological addiction and they were as the sample of this research. Result: There were 39 students in six Senior High Schools in Makassar, Indonesia, who were identified to undergo IPA. Stress perception in most of adolescents who underwent IPA was high (61.5%), particularly for adolescent who underwent high internet addiction, and so as the stress response on IPA, which was also high (53.8%), which described health quality for IPA.
