“…Numerous studies have underlined the need for health education programmes with a focus on physical activity. Similar to our study, these studies found that the initial physical activity levels of primary school students were often low but could be increased with health education programmes (Chen, 2016;Liu et al, 2019;Yılmaz and Altunkürek, 2020). Together with our findings, these findings imply that health education programmes in primary schools are key to increasing levels of physical activity, which in turn may prevent obesity and contribute to the development of healthy adulthood.…”

Objective: This study sought to analyse the effectiveness of a nurse-led health development programme for school-aged children in North Cyprus. Design: This study utilised a randomised-controlled experimental research design. Setting: The study was conducted on fourth-grade students in two primary schools. Method: Participants in the intervention group received a 12-week online health education course. Students in both the control ( n = 38) and intervention ( n = 38) groups completed the Food Behaviour Scale, the Children Health Perceptions and Behaviours Scale, and the Physical Activity Self-Efficacy Scale pre-intervention, at the end of intervention and 3 months post-intervention. Results: Post-test scores for the intervention group on the Food Behaviour Scale, Children Health Perceptions and Behaviours Scale, and Physical Activity Self-Efficacy Scale were significantly higher than their pre-test scores. In contrast, the control group exhibited no statistically significant difference between the pre- and post-test scores on the three scales. Conclusion: The findings suggest that a nurse-led health education programme had a positive effect on food behaviour, physical activity self-efficacy, and health perception and behaviours among school-age children.

“…In line with this result, it is suggested that the health promotion lifestyle behaviors of the participants should be supported. In some studies conducted in Turkey, the average healthy lifestyle behavior scores were 122.1 ± 19.8 (67), 125.9 ± 17.4 (68), 134.5 ± 17.9 (33), 128.74 ± 18.24 (69), and 144.90 ± 24.07 (70). It has been found that the average score of physical education teachers' healthy lifestyle behavior was 145.7 ± 15.5 (71).…”

“…Many studies can be found in the literature with similar findings to the current study. It was found that the participants received the highest average point in the spiritual development sub-scale and the lowest mean point in the physical activity sub-scale (2,37,(75)(76)(77)(78)(79)(80)(81). In some other studies, it was found that the highest mean point of the participants was in the interpersonal relations sub-scale, the lowest score was in the physical activity sub-scale (82)(83)(84)(85), and in some studies, the lowest sub-scale point was in the coping with stress sub-factor (46,73).…”

Healthy lifestyle behaviors have been recognized as a key strategy to achieve a policy of health for all. The aim of this study was to determine the levels of health promotion lifestyle behavior among teachers working in public primary schools. The present study also investigated the effects of selected socio-demographic characteristics on these behaviors. The research was designed using the survey model, one of the quantitative research methods. The sample of the research consisted of public primary school teachers (n = 372). Research data were collected using the Health-Promotion Lifestyle Profile-II (HPLP-II) scale. As a result of the research, it was put forward that there were statistically significant differences in levels of health promotion lifestyle behaviors based on taking courses on health promotion, and following programs and articles about healthy living (p < 0.05). It was revealed that primary teachers' taking courses on health promotion, and following programs and articles affected their healthy lifestyle behaviors. Public primary school teachers' health promotion lifestyle behaviors were found to be moderate. It was found that the primary teachers obtained the highest mean score for the spiritual growth subscale of the health promotion lifestyle behaviors scale; however, the primary school teachers had the lowest mean score for the physical activity subscale, which indicates that they need support in improving their healthy lifestyle. Male teachers had higher mean scores in the physical activity subscale, whereas females had higher mean scores in all other subscales. Training programs to protect and improve the health of teachers should be organized.

It comprises six dimensions of stress management, interpersonal relationships, physical activity, nutrition, spiritual growth, and health responsibility (9,5) . Numerous studies have reported that public health applications and life style modifications can help in preventing chronic diseases and reducing older adults' medical and social service needs.…”
