Detailed Description
Purpose of the research; To evaluate the effect and applicability of the Web-Based Adolescent Health Promotion program, which includes multiple health behavior initiatives, on physical activity, nutrition, and stress management of hearing impaired adolescents in making healthy choices, assuming their own health responsibilities and acquiring healthy lifestyle behaviors.
Materials and methods; The research is a full experimental study with pretest-posttest control group, repeated measurement design, random groups.
Research sample; A total of 70 hearing-impaired adolescents aged 12-18, studying at Abdurrahman Gazi Sağlar Primary School, Van Special Education Vocational High School and Duyus Special Education and Rehabilitation Center affiliated to the Ministry of National Education in the city center of Van.
The data of the research; "Sociodemographic Characteristics Information Form", "Body Mass Index (BMI)", "Adolescent Nutrition Information Scale", "Adolescent Physical Activity Information Scale", "Adolescent Lifestyle Scale", "Adolescent Healthy Lifestyle Choices Scale", "Renewed Child" Anxiety and Depression Scale", "Daily Food Consumption Form", "Beverage Consumption Form", "Pedometer" were collected.
In the study; descriptive statistics will be evaluated with mean, standard deviation, percentage and frequency analysis. Comparisons between groups will be analyzed using Pearson's chi-square, Student's t-test, Mann Whitney-U test, Kruskal Wallis test, analysis of variance and Cohen's d effect size.
The results of this study;
-
Physical Variables: Body Mass Index (BMI) and Weight
-
Behavioral Variables: Weekly average number of steps and change, fruit and vegetable consumption amount, amount of water consumed, amount of sugary and acidic beverages consumed, "Adolescent Lifestyle" scale score average, "Adolescent" Lifestyle Choices scale score average,
-

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Physical Variables: [9 months]
Body Mass Index (BMI- kg/m^2) and Weight (kg)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Behavioral Variables: [9 months]
The mean score of "Adolescent Lifestyle Scale" is used for behavioral change; The scale requires a 4-point Likert-type response for each item. 1 for "Never", 2 for "Sometimes", 3 for "Often" and 4 for "Always" The maximum score obtained from the scale is 160 and the minimum score is 40. The scale does not have a cut-off point, as the score increases, the level of positive health behavior increases
- Cognitive Variables 1: [9 months]
The mean score of "Adolescent Nutrition Knowledge Scale" will be evaluated. Scoring Highlighted answer is correct Recode items If answer don't know (2), recode as no (0) If answer is correct, recode as (1) If answer is incorrect, recode as (0) After recoding, sum items 1-12 Summed total will reflect the number of items answered correctly.
- Cognitive Variables 2: [9 months]
The mean score of "Adolescent Physical Activity Knowledge Scale" will be evaluated. Scoring Highlighted answer is correct Recode items If answer don't know (2), recode as no (0) If answer is correct, recode as (1) If answer is incorrect, recode as (0) After recoding, sum items 1-12 Summed total will reflect the number of items answered correctly.
- Cognitive Variables 3: [9 months]
The mean score of "Regenerated Child Anxiety and Depression Scale" will be evaluated. The RCADS consists of 47 items developed to measure DSM-IV based symptoms of anxiety disorders and depression in children and adolescents. The subscales correspond to SAD (7 items), SP (9 items), GAD (6 items), PD (9 items), OCD (6 items), and MDD (10 items). It is scored on a 4-point scale (0 =never, 1 = sometimes, 2 = often, and 3 = always).
