Adolescence is a critical period of development in which well-being usually decreases, mental health problems (e.g., depression, anxiety) increase, and lifestyles become less healthy. Schools are a primary setting for the promotion of the well-being and overall health of adolescents, and preventive actions should be a priority within the scope of health-promoting schools. #EntreViagenseAprendizagens is a school-based intervention aiming to promote well-being and healthy lifestyles among adolescents based on social and emotional learning, positive psychology, and health education approaches.
This protocol describes a school-based intervention, #EntreViagenseAprendizagens, that will be implemented in several schools in Portugal. The program is aimed at 8th and 9th grade students (14-16 years old) and comprises 20 weekly sessions. One of the sessions is aimed at the students' parents/guardians. The intervention content targets social and emotional skills, health literacy (physical and mental health), healthy lifestyles, character strengths, and well-being. An experimental design will be used in the intervention evaluation. Eighth grade classes will be randomly assigned to the intervention group or the control group. All students complete the same assessment protocol at baseline, post-intervention, and 9-month follow-up. The impact assessment protocol includes measures related to well-being, health literacy, health-related knowledge, attitudes and behaviors, relationships with others, social and emotional skills, and sociodemographic data. Process evaluation includes evaluation forms at the end of each session and at the end of the program and focus groups with students, parents, and teachers at the end of the program.
This school-based intervention may play an important role in promoting students' well-being and in preventing unhealthy lifestyles and socio-emotional maladjustment, by focusing on the development of social and emotional skills and health literacy among adolescents, empowering them to face the changing future and grow up healthy. Furthermore, this project aims to provide relevant scientific findings that can contribute to the development of better health-promoting schools.
青春期是一个关键的发育阶段，在此期间幸福感通常会下降，心理健康问题（如抑郁症、焦虑症）会增加，生活方式也变得不那么健康。学校是促进青少年幸福感和整体健康的主要场所，预防行动应成为健康促进学校范围内的优先事项。“在旅程中学习”是一项基于学校的干预措施，旨在基于社会情感学习、积极心理学和健康教育方法，促进青少年的幸福感和健康生活方式。
本方案描述了一项将在葡萄牙几所学校实施的基于学校的干预措施“在旅程中学习”。该项目针对八年级和九年级学生（14 - 16岁），包括每周20节课程。其中一节课针对学生的家长/监护人。干预内容针对社会情感技能、健康素养（身心健康）、健康生活方式、性格优势和幸福感。干预评估将采用实验设计。八年级班级将被随机分配到干预组或对照组。所有学生在基线、干预后和9个月随访时完成相同的评估方案。影响评估方案包括与幸福感、健康素养、健康相关知识、态度和行为、与他人的关系、社会情感技能以及社会人口统计学数据相关的测量。过程评估包括在每节课结束时、项目结束时的评估表，以及在项目结束时与学生、家长和教师进行的焦点小组讨论。
这项基于学校的干预措施可能在促进学生幸福感以及预防不健康生活方式和社会情感失调方面发挥重要作用，通过关注青少年社会情感技能和健康素养的发展，使他们有能力面对不断变化的未来并健康成长。此外，该项目旨在提供相关科学发现，为更好地发展健康促进学校做出贡献。
