A Health Education Approach on the Improvement of Life Style among Schoolchildren and Students.

我们调查了健康实践与自尊之间的关系，以改善中小学生的生活方式。女大学生的两种健康习惯（“营养均衡”和“经常体育活动”）与一般领域的自尊得分呈正相关。高分组在小学生一般自尊、认知自尊、社会自尊、身体自尊、身体自尊和家庭自尊各方面得分均显著高于高分组。初中生除身体部位与吸烟经历之间存在正相关外，健康行为与自尊得分之间存在正相关。通过对初中生吸烟行为、吸烟态度、吸烟环境与自尊之间关系的调查，我们发现男生在一般、社会、家庭、身体四个方面的自尊与吸烟行为之间存在显著的关系，“以吸烟有害健康为理由，对鼓励不吸烟的行为施加压力”。在女孩中，我们也注意到自尊的所有6个方面与朋友提出吸烟的态度之间的显著关系。这些结果表明，提高自尊可能有利于学童和学生建立他们理想的健康习惯。

We have investigated the relationships between health practices and self-esteem to improve life style of schoolchildren and students. There was a positive relationship between two health practices ("well balanced nutrition" and "regular physical activity") and self-esteem scores of general areas among female university students. High score group of health practices significantly took the high scores among all self-esteem scales (general, cognitive, social, physical, body and family areas) of elementary schoolchildren. We could find a positive relationship between health practices and self-esteem scores with exception of that between physical areas and smoking experience among junior high school students. From the investigation of relationships between smoking behavior, attitude and environment, and self-esteem among junior high school students, among the boys we could find significant relationships between 4 areas (general, social, family and body areas) of the self-esteem and their smoking behavior "putting pressure on behavior which encourage no-smoking on the reason that smoking was no good for your health." Among the girls we also noticed the significant relationships between all 6 areas of the self-esteem and their attitude that the friends offered to smoke. These results would suggest that rasing self-esteem might be beneficial for schoolchildren and students to build up their desirable health practices.
