CORRELATES OF PSYCHOSOCIAL STATUS OF RURAL ADOLESCENT GIRLS OF VARANASI, INDIA
BACKGROUND: Psychosocial behaviour of adolescents is influenced by several factors and WHO has evolved ‘HEEADSSS’ approach for looking into the head of adolescents. A comprehensive scoring system was evolved by adopting this approach. However, its application and benefits in pinpointing correlates of psychosocial status of adolescents need to be demonstrated through community based studies. OBJECTIVE: To pinpoint the correlates of psychosocial status of adolescent girls adopting comprehensive scoring system of ‘HEEADSSS’ for assessing psychosocial status. METHODOLOGY: After obtaining approval from the ethical committee, this community based cross-sectional study was carried out on adolescent girls from Chiraigaon Community Development Block of Varanasi District. The villages from the block were divided into 3 strata according to their distance from the Block Headquarter. One village was selected from each stratum by simple random sampling from which total enumeration of adolescent girls (10-19 years) was done by house-to-house survey. Four hundred girls from the enumerated list were selected as per probability proportion to size (PPS). The psychosocial status of study subjects was assessed by interviewing them with the help of predesigned and pre structured schedule. For inferential decisions t-test and ANOVA were applied. In order to pinpoint precise correlates of psychosocial status logistic regression analysis was done to compute adjusted odds ratios and their confidence intervals (CI). RESULTS: Mild and moderate psychosocial risk was present in 42.0% and 43.5% study subjects, respectively. Forty seven (11.75%) adolescent girls had severe risk for psychosocial abnormality. Several factors were found significant in univariate analysis. However, logistic regression identified that the risk of psychosocial abnormality was significantly (p <0.05) lower in OBC caste (AOR 0.271, CI 0.140-0.521) as well as subjects having highest education in the family up to primary (AOR 0.280, CI 0.095-0.821). CONCLUSION: Majority of the adolescent girls were at psychosocial risk, and nearly one out of ten were at severe risk. The study has pinpointed several correlates of psychosocial status of adolescent girls and calls for community based interventions directed to adolescents and their families having higher vulnerability for psychosocial abnormality.

The family environment of the respondents was assessed by using Family Interaction Pattern Scale developed by Bhatti (1986) and mental health of the respondents was assessed by General Well Being Scale (Positive Mental Health) by S.K.Verma (1986). 90 adolescent girls were chosen through disproportionate sampling procedure in Government Higher Secondary School, Ammapalayam, Perambalur District of Tamilnadu. Data was analyzed in terms of percentage, anova and coefficient of correlation. Results indicated that more than half of the respondents have low scores in various dimensions (reinforcement, social support system, role, communication, cohesiveness and leadership) of family interactions and mental health of adolescent girls. The statistical analysis revealed that there was a significant relationship between the family interactions and mental health of adolescent girls. The findings of the study will help to understand the role of family environment to enable the adolescent girls to cope with the challenges that arise in these critical transitional periods.

Adolescence is a time of transition when a person goes through physical and psychological changes that mark their transition from child to adult. This is a time when people must adapt to new social roles due to fast physical and psychological changes. Teenagers frequently encounter several crises and conundrums as a result of these changes. It's the time when a child transitions from being dependent to being independent. It necessitates making major adjustments to the societal and physical changes. In the Indian social structure, the adolescent stage is governed by Brahma Acharya. This is the initial Ashram, or life stage, among multiple developmental phases. During this phase, the child picks up the fundamentals necessary for his future work as a responsible adult. It is a truth that every living thing goes through distinct developmental stages. Erikson thinks that a particular crisis or struggle between opposing tendencies characterizes each stage of life. People cannot properly develop in a normal and healthy way unless they successfully overcome each of these obstacles. Adolescents must indulge in a variety of roles during this stage in order to solidify their sense of self. If they don't, they might become confused about who they are. Since adolescence is a time of stress, strain, and storms, it is also referred to as a transitional phase. One truly has no idea where they stand during this phase. It is believed that the uncertainty about one's role causes conflicts.

Socially it can be defined as a period of preparation for adult roles. 2 The major biological and pubertal changes include development of the sex organs, increase in muscle mass, increase in height and weight of the individual as well as major changes in brain structure and organization. Cognitive advances encompass both increases in ABSTRACT Background: Adolescent girls are not only the future citizens but also the mother of the future nation.
