Investigation of Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors of High School Students Studying in the Field of Health Services
Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the healthy lifestyle behaviors of Vocational
and Technical Anatolian high school (VTAHS) health services students.
Method: The research is of descriptive type and was conducted in all seven
schools of a province with health services in VTAHS. The sample consisted of 681
students attending the 11th grade in the departments of assistant nurse, assistant
midwife and health care technician. Data were collected with a personal information
form and Adolescent Lifestyle Profile (ALP) scale. T-Test in Independent
Groups, Mann-Whitney U Test, One-way ANOVA, Kruskal Wallis were used in
the analysis of the data. Bonferroni was used in the post hoc analysis.
Results: The mean age of the students participating in the study was 16.73±
0.52, 74.6% were female, body mass index (BMI) of 67.3% of them was normal.
While the lowest mean score was observed in the subgroup of health responsibility
(2.10±0.48), the highest mean score (3.14±0.51) was observed in the interpersonal
relations subgroup. Being a woman, living in a town, having a broken family member,
studying in the midwife assistant department, not staying with the family, not
working, having bad family or friend relations, having a diagnosis of illness, having
a bad perception of health status, not having a normal weight BMI was at a disadvantage
in terms of ALP scale scores.
Conclusions and Suggestions: Gender, place he/she lives, family type, department,
place he/she stays, working a job outside of school, family relations, friend
relations, disease diagnosis, current state of health and BMI of students were found
to be effective in ALP scale scores. These students, who are on the way to become
the health personnel of the future, should be made aware of healthy lifestyle behaviors
and interventional studies should be carried out to develop these behaviors.
