CARRANZA ESTEBAN, Renzo Felipe et al. Effectiveness of an Intervention Based on the Nola Pender Model in Promoting Healthy Lifestyles in Peruvian Universities. Rev Cubana Enfermer [online]. 2019, vol.35, n.4, e2859. Epub 01-Dic-2019. ISSN 0864-0319.
Introduction:
Healthy lifestyles prevent diseases and optimize the health of the human being, even better among university students, who are vulnerable to changing attitudes, routines, habits, and their lifestyle.
Objective:
To determine the effectiveness of a program based on the Nola Pender model to promote healthy lifestyles in Peruvian university students.
Methods:
Pre-experimental study with pre-test and post-test, in a private university in Tarapoto, Peru, during 2017. 869 students from seven majors participated. To know the lifestyle of university students, the Pender PESPS-I was used. The intervention lasted eight months. Nutritional aspects, emotional health and physical activity were considered. In the statistical analysis, the non-parametric Wilcoxon test was performed, with a significance level of p=0.05, in addition to the distribution of absolute frequencies, percentages, means, average range and standard deviation.
Results:
The post-test measures were higher than to those of the pre-test, which demonstrated the effectiveness of the program to promote healthy lifestyles through exercising, health responsibility and stress management (p<0.05). However, in the dimensions nutrition, interpersonal support and self-update, no significant differences were found (p>0.05).
Conclusions:
The program to promote healthy lifestyles in Peruvian university students aged 16 to 22 years proved to be effective in improving exercise, health responsibility and stress management.
