Özet
INTRODUCTION: Health promotion programs are a very effective approach to lowering the number of preventable health problems among adolescents. Brief interventions are evidence-based, health-promoting programs designed for adolescents. The Behavior-Image Model (BIM) is a new model devised for planned multiple behavior interventions and brief health interventions. This study was conducted to determine the effect of brief interventions based on the Behavior-Image Model on adolescent health behaviors. METHODS: This experimental study was of pretest-posttest control group design. The study was carried out in a public high school in Istanbul. Two hundred and fourteen students (intervention group=103, control group=111) between the ages of 15 and 18 participated in the study. The data was collected using the Student Questionnaire, The Adolescent Life Style Profile II (ALP R2), The Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale (ESES), The Dietary Self-Efficacy Scale and The Center for Disease Control Health-related Quality of Life-4 (CDC HRQOL-4). The intervention group received a brief intervention based on the BIM. Each student was interviewed for 30 minutes. Data were collected before the brief intervention and at 3 months post-intervention. RESULTS: After the brief interventions, there were statistically significant increase in the mean scores in the intervention group for the subscales of physical activity, nutrition, health responsibility and total ALP-R2. There were statistically significant increase in the mean scores in the intervention group for exercise self-efficacy and dietary self-efficacy. After the brief interventions, the number of days that mental health was not good and activity limitation days decreased during the past 30 days. DISCUSSION and CONCLUSION: In this study, it was determined that brief interventions based on the BIM were effective in promoting the health behaviors of adolescents.
