To examine the effects of a Healthy Active Living (HAL) community intervention on moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), fruit and vegetable consumption (FVC), and psychosocial mediators of physical activity among students transitioning into university.
Sixty undergraduate students were assigned to reside in either the HAL community or no-treatment control residence and completed questionnaire measures at the beginning and end of the academic year.
Students living in the HAL community reported significantly more MVPA (F[1, 58]=19.93, p<.001, ηp2=.26) and greater FVC (F[1, 56]=3.12, p=.08, ηp2=.05) compared with controls. Participants in the HAL condition also scored significantly higher in action planning (F[1, 58]=4.79, p<.05, ηp2=.08), partially mediating the effect of the intervention on MVPA.
A peer-delivered healthy lifestyles intervention targeting first-year university students appears to be effective in preserving or enhancing health behaviors and cognitions during their transition into university life.
研究健康积极生活(HAL)社区干预对刚步入大学的学生的中等到剧烈身体活动(MVPA)、水果和蔬菜摄入量(FVC)以及身体活动的心理社会调节因素的影响。
60名本科生被分配到HAL社区居住或无干预的对照住所,并在学年开始和结束时完成问卷调查。
与对照组相比,居住在HAL社区的学生报告的MVPA显著更多(F[1, 58]=19.93,p<.001,ηp2=.26),FVC也更高(F[1, 56]=3.12,p=.08,ηp2=.05)。HAL组的参与者在行动计划方面的得分也显著更高(F[1, 58]=4.79,p<.05,ηp2=.08),部分介导了干预对MVPA的影响。
一项针对大学新生的由同龄人实施的健康生活方式干预,似乎在他们向大学生活过渡期间对保持或增强健康行为及认知方面有效。
