Health Awareness's level for 11th class in Rukhyah district at Wadi Hudhramout

Abstract

This study, titled “The Level of Health Awareness among Second Secondary Grade Students in Wadi Hadhramout,” aimed to identify students’ health awareness across five domains: infectious diseases, nutrition and general health, mental health, digital health and technology, and environmental and climate-related health, as well as examining gender differences. The descriptive analytical method was employed, using a health awareness scale applied to a purposive sample of (40) students. The results revealed that the overall level of health awareness was low, with mean scores ranging between (2.51–2.55), despite some items showing a moderate level. Additionally, no statistically significant differences were found based on gender across all domains. These findings may be attributed to limited school-based health education and insufficient practical health programs, The research recommended enhancing health awareness programs within schools and linking them to practical and behavioral aspects.
