One of the areas most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic is health promotion. In order to improve the quality of life of elderly individuals, it is important to develop and implement effective intervention strategies that can prevent negative health outcomes.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of health promotion training provided to elderly individuals on healthy lifestyle behaviors.
This study was conducted as a randomized-controlled experimental study. The study was completed with 140 elderly individuals over 65 years of age, including 70 participants in intervention group and 70 participants in control group. The data were collected using the Information Form and the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale-I. Training was provided to the intervention group as one session a week for three weeks. Percentage, arithmetic mean, and standard deviation as well as chi-square, dependent samples -test, and independent samples -test were used to assess the data.
While the pretest mean score of the intervention group for the overall Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale-I was 103.90 ± 16.96, their posttest mean score was 136.17 ± 19.60 and it was found that there was a statistically significant difference between the results ( = 0.000). While the pretest mean score of the control group for the overall Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale-I was 107.22 ± 21.09, their posttest mean score was 106.57 ± 21.49 and it was found that there was no statistically significant difference between the results ( = 0.609).
It was observed that healthy lifestyle behaviors of elderly individuals in the intervention group improved positively.
受 COVID-19 大流行影响最严重的领域之一是健康促进。为了提高老年人的生活质量，开发和实施能够预防负面健康结果的有效干预策略非常重要。
本研究旨在确定向老年人提供健康促进培训对健康生活方式行为的影响。
本研究为随机对照实验研究。研究对象为 140 名 65 岁以上的老年人，包括干预组 70 名和对照组 70 名。使用信息表和健康生活方式行为量表- I 收集数据。每周为干预组提供一次培训，共三周。使用百分比、算术平均值、标准差以及卡方检验、独立样本 t 检验和配对样本 t 检验评估数据。
干预组健康生活方式行为量表总体得分的预测试均数为 103.90 ± 16.96，后测试均数为 136.17 ± 19.60，结果差异具有统计学意义（=0.000）。对照组健康生活方式行为量表总体得分的预测试均数为 107.22 ± 21.09，后测试均数为 106.57 ± 21.49，结果差异无统计学意义（=0.609）。
干预组老年人的健康生活方式行为得到了积极改善。
