BACKGROUND/AIM: Today, the problem of obesity is a chronic condition that affects all age groups in developed and developing countries. Since adolescence is a transitional period and behavioral patterns formed in this period affect people in their adult years, attention to obesity and extra weight in this age group is more important than other groups. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of nutrition education course on awareness of female 1-year high school students of Isfahan based on transtheoretical model ( TTM) of behavioral change.
In this semi-empirical study, 64 female 1-year high school students with weight problem were selected using nonpercent stratified sampling and divided into two control and test groups. Data gathering was carried out using researcher-made nutrition awareness and stages of change questionnaire whose validity and reliability was confirmed. Participants in the test group participated in a 2-month education with sessions every 2 weeks and received one brochure and 3 educational massages each week. Data were analyzed using independent -test and Mann-Whitney test.
The results showed that the average nutrition awareness score of students in test group was significantly higher than control group after intervention. Students in test group were also in higher stages of change compared to control group after intervention.
The results show that TTM was effective in changing nutritional behavior in students.
背景/目的:如今,肥胖问题是一种慢性病,影响着发达国家和发展中国家的所有年龄组。由于青春期是一个过渡时期,在此期间形成的行为模式会影响人们成年后的生活,因此关注这个年龄组的肥胖和超重问题比其他组更为重要。因此,本研究旨在基于行为改变的跨理论模型(TTM),调查营养教育课程对伊斯法罕市1年级高中女生认知的影响。
在这项半实证研究中,采用非比例分层抽样法选取了64名有体重问题的1年级高中女生,并将她们分为对照组和试验组。使用研究者自制的营养认知和改变阶段问卷进行数据收集,该问卷的有效性和可靠性已得到证实。试验组的参与者参加了为期2个月的教育,每2周进行一次课程,并每周收到一本宣传册和3条教育信息。使用独立样本t检验和曼-惠特尼检验对数据进行分析。
结果显示,干预后试验组学生的平均营养认知得分显著高于对照组。干预后,试验组学生的改变阶段也高于对照组。
结果表明,TTM在改变学生的营养行为方面是有效的。
