Brief Summary

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

The pandemic process has caused very important changes and effects in the economy, social life and education practices, especially health at global level. Within the scope of the measures taken, with the closure of educational institutions and interruption of face-to-face education, the education of 1.6 billion students, which corresponds to approximately half of the student population from all educational levels, has been interrupted. The need and approach to open and distance learning has come to the fore with significant changes and effects on education worldwide. Pandemic measures, the transition to distance education and the increase in computer usage caused an increase in ergonomic risks in students. Due to the pandemic process, it has been reported that the physical activity level of students decreases and the sitting period is prolonged. In this study, physiotherapy students who receive distance education will be given online ergonomics and physical activity training and the results will be evaluated.

Online Education Group

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Online Education

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Online ergonomics, exercise and physical activity training will be provided 3 times a week for 6 weeks. The trainings it is planned to be made with a video-based online platform called Edpuzzle. With the online classroom created, the student education will be provided. A total of 18 training videos will be prepared, each video is 6-10 minutes. After the training there will be an individual motivational interview with the students in the this group with the zoom application. With motivational interview solutions by revealing the willingness, obstacles and indecision of the student to transfer the learned information to his daily life will be recommended.

Brochure Group

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Information With Brochure

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

An e-brochure will be prepared for students in this group to provide information on ergonomics, physical activity and exercise. and the e-brochure will be sent to the students via e-mail after the initial evaluation.
