Healthy lifestyles are crucial for preventing chronic diseases. This study evaluated the effectiveness of mHealth intervention program in adopting healthy lifestyles.

Detailed Description

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

Healthy lifestyles are crucial for preventing chronic diseases. Nonetheless, approximately 90% of university students regularly engage in at least one unhealthy lifestyle. Mobile smart devices-based health interventions (mHealth) that incorporate theoretical frameworks regarding behavioral change in interaction with the environment may provide an appealing and cost-effective approach for promoting sustainable adaptations of healthier lifestyles.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of mHealth intervention program compared to traditional (face-to-face) program in adopting healthy lifestyles among students of the Faculty of Nursing.
