Obesity is a major pediatric public health problem. Adolescents are a priority population for intervention strategies. School nurses are in key positions to design intervention strategies to promote healthy lifestyles and prevent adolescent obesity in the students they serve. To design effective programs, school nurses need to know what components their students perceive as important. This study involved the development and administration of a questionnaire to middle school students to determine their attitudes about overweight/obesity and what they felt would work for them. Adolescents are willing to exercise more, to change eating habits to include more fruits and vegetables, drink more water, and eat less junk food. They are not willing to give up soda, video/computer games, and watching television to improve their health. School nurses can use this questionnaire to collect data that will assist in the development of effective programs for their students.
肥胖是一个主要的儿童公共卫生问题。青少年是干预策略的重点人群。学校护士处于关键位置，能够设计干预策略，以促进他们所服务学生的健康生活方式并预防青少年肥胖。为了设计有效的项目，学校护士需要了解他们的学生认为哪些要素是重要的。本研究涉及编制并向中学生发放一份问卷，以确定他们对超重/肥胖的态度以及他们认为对自己有效的方法。青少年愿意多锻炼，改变饮食习惯以增加水果和蔬菜的摄入，多喝水，少吃垃圾食品。他们不愿意为了改善健康而放弃汽水、电子游戏和看电视。学校护士可以使用这份问卷来收集数据，以协助为他们的学生制定有效的项目。
