Assessment of the health situation of daily learning time for elementary school students in the context of Double Reduction policy
Objective To investigate the daily learning time status of elementary school students and understand the implemen-tation of Health Requirements of Daily Learning Time for Secondary and Elementary School Students(GB/T 17223-2012)in schools,so as to provide a reference for strengthening and improving school health and health education in the new era.Methods A stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 7 776 primary school students in Shandong Province,and a survey questionnaire was designed based on the Health Requirements for Dayily Learning Time for Secondary and Elementary School Students(GB/T 17223-2012)standard to investigate their daily learning arrangements,sleep and physical activities,and breaks between classes.Comparison of intergroup differences were used by Chi-square test and Kruskal-Wallis H test.Results About 55.88%of primary school students for daily learning time met the standard.There was a statistically significant difference in the dai-ly learning time achievement rate among primary school students in three grades for first and second grade,third and fourth grade and fifth and sixth grade(Z=1 629.47,P<0.01),and the fifth and sixth grade had the highest proportion of achieving the standard(85.92%).Specifically,the proportions of students whose class hours,class numbers and morning reading time meeting the stand-ards were 30.07%,10.20%and 42.19%,respectively.The sleep deficiency rate of primary school studnets was 58.69%,and the physical activity deficiency rate was 65.78%;and there was a statistically significant difference in the rate of insufficient sleep time and physical activity time among primary school students of different grades(x2=56.39,95.95,P<0.01),with sixth-grade students showing the highest rates for both sleep and physical activity deficiencies(64.35%,73.37%).Additionally,49.78%of students had recess time below the standard requirements.Conclusion The health status of daily learning time among primary school students in Shandong Province is poor,with insufficient implementation of school standards,and the implementation of standards needs to be further strengthened.
