摘要

背景:青年健康大使计划(YHAP)是一项健康教育计划,旨在通过提高青年的健康意识并对他们进行初级健康预防培训,使他们成为社区中的健康大使。本研究评估了 "青年健康大使计划 "在改善参与者身心健康知识、态度和实践(KAP)方面的效果:本研究采用了单组准实验设计,并进行了工作坊前后的 KAP 调查。参与者为新加坡初级学院(JC)和理工学院参加 "青年健康行动方案 "的学生。共对 131 份答复进行了分析,以了解课程前后身心健康 KAP 的变化情况。本文还研究了参与者教育他人的障碍,包括环境因素、内在因素和目标受众的接受能力:从工作坊前的调查到工作坊后的调查,所有六个 KAP 领域的平均得分均有所提高,除心理健康知识外,其他领域均有显著提高(P < 0.05)。在 KAP 的 29 个问题中,有 16 个问题的平均得分在项目结束后有了显著提高(P < 0.05)。内在障碍的平均得分在干预后也有显著下降(P < 0.001),这表明参与者在干预后不太可能同意内在因素是他们向周围人进行健康教育的障碍:青少年健康教育计划能有效改善生理健康的KAP以及心理健康JC和理工学院学生的态度和实践,并能减少参与者在教育他人时所面临的内在障碍的影响。

Impact of Youth Health Ambassador Programme on health awareness in youths in Singapore.

Background: The Youth Health Ambassador Programme (YHAP) is a health educational program aimed at empowering youths to become health ambassadors in the community through raising their health awareness and training them in primary health prevention. This study evaluates the effectiveness of YHAP in improving the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of participants in physical and mental health.

Materials and methods: This study followed a single-group quasi-experimental design, with a pre- and postworkshop KAP survey. Participants were junior college (JC) and polytechnic students in Singapore enrolled in YHAP. In total, 131 responses were analyzed for changes in KAP for physical and mental health before and after the program. This article also studied the participants' barriers to educating others, including environment factors, intrinsic factors, and receptiveness of the target audience.

Results: Mean scores of all six KAP domains increased from the preworkshop survey to the postworkshop survey, with significant improvements (P < 0.05) in all domains except mental health knowledge. Individually, 16 out of 29 questions in the KAP sections had a significant increment in mean score after the program (P < 0.05). Mean scores for intrinsic barriers also decreased significantly (P < 0.001) postintervention, indicating that participants were less likely to agree that intrinsic factors were a barrier to educating people around them about health postintervention.

Conclusion: YHAP is effective in improving the KAP of physical health and the attitudes and practices of mental health JC and polytechnic students and may reduce the effect of intrinsic barriers that participants face when teaching others.
