Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

There are many descriptive studies in the literature on health behaviors of university youth.However, there are a limited number of model-based interventional studies explaining the development of positive health behaviors of students in the university period.In this context, this study "Applied to University Students The aim of this study will be to determine the Impact of Health Promotion Program on Developing Healthy Nutrition and Physical Activity Behaviors.This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of the health promotion program applied to university students on the development of healthy eating and physical activity behaviors. The general population of the study will be composed of students enrolled in a formal education program at Istanbul Medipol University between January and September 2019.

The study population will consist of students with a body mass index between 25-35 kg / m², a mean nutritional behavior score of 2 or less, no regular physical activity, and no musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary, metabolic or other systemic problems that prevent exercise.The sample size was calculated by power analysis. In the calculation, 0,80 power value, 0,05 error level, 0,60 'relationship is predicted, sampling 45 students to the experiment, 45 students to the control group was found to be appropriate. Experimental and control groups will be appointed by making probable selection from the study universe. In the study process, 10 substitutes were selected considering that there could be subjects who could leave the research. After all; 55 people in the experimental group and 55 people in the control group were selected by sampling. The sample consisted of 110 students.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

1. In order to identify the risky students in the study universe, a stand will be opened in the most crowded area and the most frequently used area of the campus.
2. As a result of the screening, body mass indexes are between 25-35 kg / m², nutritional behavior score is 2 or less, do not perform regular physical activity and do not have problems related to musculoskeletal system, cardiopulmonary system, metabolic system and other systems. Students will be admitted to the study universe.
3. Assignment will be made to the experimental and control groups by making probable selection from the study population.
4. Measurements of physical and cognitive variables of experimental and control groups will be made.
5. Health Promotion Modeled Health Promotion Program (Annex-1) will be applied to the experimental group. Health promotion program; The Web-based Health Promotion Program includes individual counseling and reminder practices. The content of the Web Based Health Promotion Program is given in Annex-2. The control group will be given educational brochures to develop healthy eating and physical activity behaviors.
6. Measurements of physical and cognitive variables of experimental and control groups at 1st, 3rd and 6th months will be made.
7. The data will be analyzed and evaluated statistically.
8. Report will be written.
