Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Hypotheses of the Study H1 The mean CDRAAS posttest scores of the firefighters in the intervention group after health education will be higher than the mean posttest scores of the control group.
H2 The mean CDRAAS post-test scores of the firefighters in the intervention group after the health education will be higher than the mean pre-test scores.
H3 The mean CARRIF-KL posttest scores of the firefighters in the intervention group after health education will be higher than the mean posttest scores of the control group.
H4 The mean CARRIF-KL posttest scores of the firefighters in the intervention group after the health education will be higher than the mean pretest scores.
H5 The mean EQ-5D posttest scores of the firefighters in the intervention group after health education will be higher than the mean posttest scores of the control group.
H6 The mean EQ-5D posttest scores of the firefighters in the intervention group after health education will be higher than the mean pretest scores.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The power analysis was applied based on a 5% significance level (or 95% confidence interval), two-way, 80% power requirement. As a result of the analysis, the minimum sample size required for each group (intervention and control) in the study was calculated as 67 people. The intervention group received health education on prevention of cardiovascular disease risk factors based on the Health Belief Model consisting of 3 sessions. Following the health education, a total of 39 reminder text messages were sent via WhatsApp three or four times a week for 12 weeks to increase self-efficacy and health motivation. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews and by using the Cardiovascular Disease Risk Awareness Rating Scale, the Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factor Knowledge Level Scale and the EQ-5D Quality of Life Scale. In data analysis, dependent samples t test (paired samples t test) was used for intra-group mean comparisons and independent samples t test (independent samples t test) was used for inter-group mean comparisons.

Study Groups

Intervention
Prior to the intervention, both the control and intervention groups were interviewed face-to-face and completed the Cardiovascular Disease Risk Awareness Rating Scale (CDRAAS), the Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factor Knowledge Level Scale (CARRF-KL) and the EQ-5D Quality of Life Scale. The intervention group then received health belief model-based cardiovascular disease risk factor prevention training. This training, conducted by the researcher, was carried out in 3 sessions, including interactive question-answer sessions. After the training, a total of 39 reminder text messages were sent to the intervention group via WhatsApp 2-3 times a week for 12 weeks.
Health Belief Model Based Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factor Prevention Education
In line with the literature review, "Health Belief Model-Based Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factor Prevention Training" was created in order to increase the level of knowledge of firefighters regarding cardiovascular disease risk factors, improve their awareness and positively affect their quality of life. This training was given in 3 different sessions by meeting face-to-face with firefighters in the training hall of the fire stations. Each session lasted 40 minutes. Answers were given to the questions asked at the end of the session. The training was organized under the following main headings:
Perceived Sensitivity, Perceived Seriousness, Perceived Barriers, Perceived Self-Efficacy, Health Motivation/Activators
Reminder Short Messages
After the Health Belief Model-Based health education, 39 text messages were sent via WhatsApp application 3-4 times a week for 3 months to increase the effectiveness of the education and the motivation of firefighters in CVD prevention.
No intervention
No intervention was given to the control group. After the education given to the intervention group and the reminder text messages sent for 12 weeks, the intervention and control groups were asked to fill out the Cardiovascular Disease Risk Awareness Rating Scale (CDRAAS), Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factor Knowledge Level Scale (CARRF-KL) and EQ-5D Quality of Life Scale again in the same week. After the post-tests were taken, the control group also received training.
