Abstract
Background: In common with the general population, nursing students struggle to live a healthy lifestyle.
Aims: To recruit students in a behaviour change intervention, using the COM-B model of behaviour change to understand engagement.
Methods: Nursing students were invited to complete an online survey assessing height, weight, BMI, physical activity, lifestyle satisfaction, motivation for leading a healthy life, and quality of life. Those identified as overweight or not physically active were offered a webinar and social media site to support setting personal goals and boosting motivation to achieve a healthy lifestyle.
Findings: 25% of invited students engaged with the interventions, 19% attending a webinar and 19% joining the social media site. No statistically reliable differences between those who engaged and those who did not were identified.
Conclusion: Current models of behaviour change do not predict engagement. Interventions may need to be integrated into the curriculum to elicit change.
期刊介绍：
British Journal of Nursing (BJN) provides all nurses, regardless of specialism, with a comprehensive resource that brings together nursing practice, education and leadership. We believe that the nurse''s role has become increasingly demanding, which is why we have made some important updates to the journal. It now has more clinical content, more practical features - with clear learning outcomes – and new ''bitesize'' articles designed for accessibility. These changes have been made for one reason – to help easily obtain essential information you can trust.
