Latar Belakang: Masalah kesejahteraan mental pada remaja telah menjadi

perhatian utama di era modern ini. Depresi merupakan salah satu masalah
utama yang memengaruhi kesejahteraan mental remaja. Aktivitas fisik telah
diidentifikasi sebagai faktor yang mungkin berperan dalam mencegah
terjadinya depresi pada populasi remaja. Namun, hubungan yang jelas antara
aktivitas fisik dan depresi masih memerlukan penelitian yang lebih mendalam
untuk pemahaman yang lebih holistik.
Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan metode potong lintang
yang dilakukan di lingkungan sekolah menengah atas (SMA) di wilayah
Manado, Indonesia, pada bulan Januari 2023. Penelitian ini menggunakan
Kuesioner Aktivitas Fisik Internasional (IPAQ) untuk mengukur tingkat
aktivitas fisik dan Indeks Depresi Anak (CDI) untuk mengukur tingkat depresi.
Hasil: Total 471 responden dengan median (IQR) usia 16.8(16.2-17.7) dalam
penelitian dimana proporsi kategori depresi ringan sedang dan berat adalah
136 (28.9%), 119 (25.3%) dan 63 (13.4%) secara berurutan. Hasil analisis chi
square menunjukkan adanya hubungan yang signifikan antara tingkat
aktivitas fisik dengan kejadian depresi pada remaja dengan nilai p 0.018.
Kesimpulan: Ada hubungan antara aktivitas fisik terhadap kejadian depresi
pada remaja. Temuan ini menekankan pentingnya memperhatikan peran
aktivitas fisik dalam mencegah dan mengurangi risiko depresi. Oleh karena
itu, perlunya strategi pencegahan yang menekankan pentingnya aktivitas fisik
dalam program kesehatan remaja perlu dipertimbangkan. Penelitian lebih
lanjut dan pengembangan intervensi yang lebih terarah diperlukan untuk lebih
memahami dan mengoptimalkan hubungan antara aktivitas fisik dan
kesejahteraan mental remaja.

Abstract

Background: Mental welfare problems in adolescents have become a major concern

in this modern era. Depression is one of the main problems that affects the mental
well-being of teenagers. Physical activity has been identified as a factor that may play
a role in preventing depression in the adolescent population. However, a clear link
between physical activity and depression still requires more in-depth research for a
more holistic understanding.

Method: This research used a cross-sectional approach, which was carried out in
senior high schools (SMA) in the Manado region of Indonesia in January 2023. This
research used the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) to measure
physical activity levels and the Child Depression Inventory (CDI) to measure the
level of depression.

Results: A total of 471 respondents with a median (IQR) age of 16.8(16.2-17.7) were
included in the study where the proportions of mild to moderate and severe
depression categories were 136 (28.9%), 119 (25.3%) and 63 (13.4%) respectively.
The results of the chi square analysis showed that there was a significant relationship
between the level of physical activity and the incidence of depression in adolescents
with a p value of 0.018.

Conclusion: There is a relationship between physical activity and the incidence of

depression in adolescents. These findings emphasize the importance of paying
attention to the role of physical activity in preventing and reducing the risk of
depression. Therefore, the need for prevention strategies that emphasize the
importance of physical activity in adolescent health programs needs to be considered.
Further research and development of more targeted interventions are needed to better
understand and optimize the relationship between physical activity and adolescent
mental well-being.
