About this study
Official title: The Efficacy of Training Programme and Mobile Health Message on Promoting Family Holistic Health
In this study, the investigators would use the training workshops as a capacity build method to deliver the holistic health knowledge for the trainers and ambassadors implementing and assisting the community-based programs for the public. The investigators hypothesize that the training workshops and mobile health messages would promote the health awareness and the health of the participants. The investigators would expect the participants influence the health behavior and attitude of their family members.
Read the detailed description
Holistic health is an integration and interaction of physical and psychosocial health. Positive psychology is a science of happiness, which focuses on positive emotions and personal strengths. It is used as a preventive and complementary medicine, which also is crucial component in family holistic health (happiness, harmony and health). Healthy diet can help to achieve energy balance and healthy weights. Sufficient daily consumption of fruit and vegetables, as well as limitation on the intake of sugar, salt and fat could prevent major diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases and certain cancers. Physical activity is believed to contribute to physical and mental health, as well as social well-being. However, physical inactivity was found to be a local and worldwide issue. and most Hong Kong people are having sedentary lifestyle. Studies show that the increase of physical activity and healthy diet reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and improve cardio-pulmonary functions; whereas sedentary behaviors increase the risk.
The Project team will schedule the training workshops for the trainers and ambassadors implementing and assisting community-based programs for the public. The investigators hypothesize that the training workshops and mobile health messages would promote the health awareness and the health of the participants. The investigators hypothesize that the training workshops promote the participants' knowledge and enhance the participants' behaviors related to family holistic health, such as positive psychology, physical activity and healthy diet. The investigators would expect the participants influence the health attitude of their family members.
