About this study
Official title: THE EFFICIENCY OF TECHNOLOGY-BASED MOTIVATION EDUCATION MADE ACCORDING TO THE HEALTH BELIEF MODEL ON OBESITY UNIVERSITY STUDENTS' BELİEFS AND ATTITUDES, NUTRITION-EXERCISE BEHAVIORS, SELF-EFFICIENCY AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT.
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of technology-based motivation education prepared according to the health belief model on obesity-related beliefs and attitudes, nutrition-exercise behaviors, self-efficacy and weight management in obese university students.
Read the detailed description
It is stated that the university period is risky in terms of acquiring negative health behaviors that may cause overweight and obesity. In addition, it is emphasized that the transition from overweight to obesity usually occurs between the ages of 18-29. There are non-formal education programs on obesity management for adolescence and adulthood. It is noteworthy that young people in the university period are not adequately represented in the current education programs, and at the same time, education programs specific to young people are limited. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of technology-based motivation education prepared according to the health belief model on obesity-related beliefs and attitudes, nutrition-exercise behaviors, self-efficacy and weight management in obese university students. This quasi-experimental pretest-posttest randomized controlled study will be carried out at Sivas Cumhuriyet University Suşehri Health College and Suşehri Timur Karabal Vocational School between February 1, 2022 and September 15, 2022. The sample of the study will consist of 84 students (experimental group n= 42 and control group n=42). A web-based technology based motivation program including motivational interviewing will be applied to the students in the experimental group. The control group will only receive web-based education on obesity. Data will be collected using Personal Information Form, Obesity Health Belief Model Scale, Nutrition-Exercise Behavior Scale, Self-Efficacy-Efficacy Scale and Website Usability Scale. physical measurements; A digital height-weight meter will be used for BMI measurement, and a tape measure will be used for waist and hip circumference. Whether the data is normal or not will be determined by Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Shapiro Wilk tests. In order to determine whether there is a difference in the research, necessary parametric and nonparametric tests will be used depending on whether the assumptions are met or any or all of the assumptions are not met.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Technology Based Motivation Education ProgramBehavioural
Technology-Based Motivation Education Program consists of web-based education, motivation program and individual motivation interviews. This program will be prepared according to the Health Belief Model (HBM). It will be applied for 4 months. Participants will take a pre-test before starting the program and a post-test at the end of the program. Individual motivation interviews will be 6 sessions in total. A website will be prepared for the Technology Based Motivation Education Program. This website consists of two parts, a web-based education and motivation program for obesity. The motivation program will enable the participant to follow the program and receive motivational messages.
Web Based EducationOther
Students in the control group will participate in web-based educations on obesity prepared only according to the Health Belief Model in the Technology-Based Motivation Education Program. Individual interviews supporting web-based education will be held with the control group once a month.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Interventional Group | Experimental | The intervention group of the RCT consisted of 42 randomly selected students with a Body Mass Index (BMI) score of 25 and above, who were evaluated by inclusion and exclusion criteria.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Obesity Health Belief Model Scale
The scale assesses individuals' beliefs and attitudes towards weight loss. It consists of 32 items in total. The scale has five sub-dimensions that can be used independently of each other: importance of health, sensitivity, seriousness, perception of benefit and disability. The cronbach alpha coefficient of the scale is 0.80.
Measured: 4 Months
Nutrition-Exercise Behavior Scale
The scale was developed to identify feeding-related behaviors. It consists of 45 items. The scale has four sub-dimensions: psychological (addicted) eating behavior, healthy diet-exercise behavior, unhealthy diet-exercise behavior, and meal order. The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient of the scale is 0.85.
Measured: 4 Months
Self-Effectiveness-Efficacy Scale
The scale measures the perception of general self-efficacy-effectiveness that is not specific to any field. The scale consists of 23 items. The scale has four sub-dimensions: initiating the behavior, maintaining the behavior, completing the behavior and struggling with obstacles. The cronbach alpha coefficient of the Turkish version of the scale is 0.81.
Measured: 4 Months
