Abstract
This study examined the effectiveness of an 8-week "Health Education using Social Networking Service (HE-SNS)" intervention, led by school health teachers, on perceived social support and health behaviors among elementary school students in South Korea. Using a quasi-experimental design with class-level random assignment, 90 students from six classes were assigned to the HE-SNS group, health education (HE) group, or control group. The HE-SNS intervention, led by a school nurse, integrated classroom health education with social networking activities involving students, teachers, and parents. Linear mixed model analysis revealed significant group-by-time interaction effects on social support (F = 20.13, p < .001) and health behavior scores (F = 24.69, p < .001). Post hoc Bonferroni tests showed that the HE-SNS group demonstrated greater improvements than the HE and control groups. These findings suggest that school nurse-facilitated SNS-based health education interventions may enhance social support and health behaviors among elementary school students.
本研究考察了由学校健康教师领导的为期8周的“使用社交网络服务的健康教育”干预对韩国小学生感知社会支持和健康行为的有效性。采用班级水平随机分配的准实验设计,将来自6个班级的90名学生分为HE- sns组、健康教育组和对照组。由一名学校护士领导的HE-SNS干预将课堂健康教育与学生、教师和家长参与的社会网络活动相结合。线性混合模型分析显示,群体-时间互动对社会支持有显著影响(F = 20.13, p = 24.69, p
