MASS MEDIA INFLUENCE ON AGRESSION, LONELINESS, AND ANXIETY OF

LATE ADOLESCENTS

The study use descriptive-correlation design to determine the influence of mass media
exposure on aggression, loneliness, and anxiety. Furthermore, the study identified the degree of
relationship between the influence of mass media and the level of aggression, loneliness, and
anxiety of the respondents. Bonafide college students were the qualified respondents of the
study.

Results showed that majority of the respondents used the internet and watched television

every week. The sites frequented were research and emailing sites while preferred shows were

comedy or sitcoms, TV news, music channels, cartoon or anime, and telenovelas. Moreover,

majority of the respondents read newspaper or magazines as often as twice a week and the

preferred materials were regular newspapers, entertainment magazines, and health or lifestyle

magazines. On the other hand, aggression is not present among the respondents, loneliness is not

prevalent, and anxiety is mild.

The study found a significant difference in the level of aggression of the respondents

considering age, with a mean difference of .2698. Further, on the level of anxiety, a mean

difference of .2212 marks a difference. There is also a significant difference in the level of

loneliness considering gender with a p-value of .001. Furthermore, there is a relationship

between print media and loneliness with a P-value of .002. Finally the study identified that mass

media is predictor to loneliness.

Based on the findings, the researcher could conclude that exposure of respondents to

mass media is controlled thus aggression, loneliness, and anxiety levels were moderate.

However, it is also showed that the late adolescents and early adults are more aggressive and

males are lonelier than females. Finally, print media is a predictor to loneliness.

 HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR THE PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF

TUBERCULOSIS, PUROK 7 RELOCATION SITE, PULONG STA. CRUZ, LAGUNA

Tuberculosis is a mycobacterium disease that is important as a cause of disability and

death in many parts of the world (Benenson, 2:457). During the epidemiological review of

tuberculosis issued by the World Health Organization (WHO) IN 1995, the country ranked first

in the Western Pacific Region in terms of reported tuberculosis cases per 100,000 among 36

countries. In 1998 alone, the Philippines was among the top ten countries worldwide with high

tuberculosis cases. ( WHO, 41:225).

During the first half of the 20th century, in-patient treatment or "sanatorium" was

believed to be the only way to manage tuberculosis. It valued rest, fresh, air, good nutrition and

isolation to prevent spread of infection. But in 1948 an anti-microbial drug was discovered that

could kill tuberculosis bacteria in the human body. Today, 40 years after the introduction of

chemotherapy for tuberculosis, there are more new cases (8 million per year) than ever ( Haynes,

29:348).

The historic menace of the so-called " White plague" continued for so many centuries

because people had a poor understanding of the disease and poor medical tool in which to fight it

( Fanning, 28:20). Health education is needed in order for the public to have a complete

understanding on the prevention and control of tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis is also a special problem. Therefore, programs aiming to prevent and

control tuberculosis should also include social interventions like reducing poverty, improving

environmental sanitation, improved housing and employment; aside from health interventions
like health education, provision of medications and other health services. Furthermore,

tuberculosis patient at this time needs strong support system in order to protect them from social

shame as well as to provide encouragement while they undergo long-term medication.

The project in Barangay Pulong Sta. Cruz, Relocation Site was mainly health education.

In this project therefore, objectives and strategies were geared towards developing skilss and

lifestyle changes in order to enable them to protect themselves in acquiring this once and still

dreaded disease.
 ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SANITATION PROGRAM IN TIBIG, SILANG

CAVITE

Life and health are dependent on environment. Today, this planet is under unprecedented

attack due to wide range of human activities and the sheer pressure of human numbers.

In the Philippines, people in Manila alone produce 6,100 tons of garbage every day. Many

uncontrolled garbage dumps left in the city.

Human beings also produce 1,150 grams of urine and 200 grams of feces per day.

About three million deaths per year are due to air pollution. In the Philippines, waste gas

from vehicles is the main cause for air pollution. About seventy percent of urban dwellers have

higher incidence of environmental-related diseases such as acute respiration infection,

pneumonia, and lung cancer.

About twenty-five percent of all preventable diseases have occurred by poor

environmental quality which human beings themselves caused and they are actually living and

suffering in it.

Mahler wrote:

"......the challenge of health for all by year 2000 can only be achieved through health education

with special emphasis on environmental health and sanitation education "( WHO, A10:31).

This program was offered with how to eliminate the environmental health problems, how to

prevent the environmental diseases, how to promote a healthful environment, and how to take

care of individual's and family's health.
