Abstract
Study Focus: This study only focused on the evaluation and assessment of adolescents’ health education literacy level of stress due cognitive, emotional and physical factors, cased at four selected senior high schools in Bo Sierra Leone. Methods: The restructured adolescents’ health education literacy level survey questionnaire (AHLSQ) was the measuring instrument adopted, and the variables were scaled using One-sample t-Test of IBM-SPSSv.23 Statistics. A sampled size of [120] participants, mean age of [16.0±3.0] ranged from (13-19) years, were selected using the systematic and simple random sampling methods. Results: The compared health education literacy due stress statistical test results showed significance difference in mean average scores for all tested variables with emotional factors scored highest 32.5±7.4 (27.1%) in table 4 and cognitive factors scored lowest 24.5±6.1 (20.4%) in table 2. The results were scaled @ 2-tailed significance of *p<0.000. Conclusion and Recommendation: A significant difference was observed among the scores for all tested variables with emotional factors emerging highest and cognitive factors emerging lowest in health education literacy of stress as slated in their mean scores, percentages, grouped frequencies and 95% confidence interval difference scores. The inclusion of health education literacy as an integral prime factor in the curriculum of health and physical education in all senior high schools, was strongly recommended.
