Description
Introduction: Mental health is a condition in which individuals realize their
potential, are able to contribute, prosper, work productively, and can
contribute to the environment. Physical activity is any body movement
capable of producing energy. The purpose of this study was to figure out
the description of mental health and physical activity in adolescents.
Methods: The study used a quantitative descriptive research method with
a cross-sectional approach. The population was 780 youths, and a sample
of 265 people was calculated using the Slovin formula. The sampling
method used stratified random sampling. The measuring tool for mental
health variables used the SRQ-29 and physical activity used the IPAQ.
Results: The results of the study showed that 46.4% of the respondents had
symptoms of mental-emotional disorders, none of the respondents used
psychoactive substances, 4.9% of the respondents had psychotic
symptoms/psychosis, and 7.5% of the respondents had symptoms of
PTSD. In the physical activity variable, the majority of the respondents had
moderate physical activity, 39.6%.
Conclusion: The mental health problems experienced by the respondents
and the physical activity undertaken can be influenced by characteristics
such as age, sex, relationships with colleagues, stress, and bullying.
Respondents are expected to pay attention to their mental health
conditions and continue to perform physical activities in their daily lives.
