Abstract

IMPACT OF AN EDUCATIONAL INTERVENTION ON ADOLESCENTS' KNOWLEDGE OF HEALTHY LIFESTYLE PRACTICES: A QUANTITATIVE STUDY

Jayant Meena*, Sunita Thakur and Kastoor Chand Meghwal

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Unhealthy lifestyle choices among adolescents are a growing public health concern, leading to long-term health issues such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes. This study aims to assess the impact of an educational intervention on improving knowledge regarding healthy lifestyle practices among adolescents in selected educational institutes of Kota (Raj.). Method: A pre-experimental one-group pre-test-post-test design was employed. The sample comprised 100 adolescents aged 15-18 years, selected through convenience sampling. A structured knowledge questionnaire, validated by experts and with a reliability coefficient of 0.81, was used for data collection. The intervention consisted of an information booklet on healthy lifestyle practices. Pre-test data were collected, followed by the distribution of the booklet, and post-test data were gathered after one week. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired t-tests. Results: The mean pre-test knowledge score was 9.86 (SD = 6.23), while the mean post-test score significantly increased to 18.33 (SD = 6.10). The paired t-test results indicated a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores (t(99) = 17.192, p < 0.001). Chi-square tests showed significant associations between pre-test knowledge levels and demographic variables such as family type, place of residence, parents' occupation, family income, and previous knowledge. Conclusion: The study demonstrates that educational interventions, like the information booklet, effectively improve adolescents' knowledge of healthy lifestyle practices. These findings underscore the importance of incorporating structured health education programs into school curricula to address the knowledge gaps and promote healthier lifestyle choices among adolescents. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term impact of such interventions on behavior change and health outcomes.
