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

为了改善学龄儿童和学生的生活方式，我们调查了健康行为与自尊的关系。“均衡营养”和“经常体育锻炼”两种健康方式与女大学生一般领域的自尊得分呈正相关。在小学生自尊量表(一般自尊量表、认知自尊量表、社交自尊量表、身体自尊量表、身体自尊量表、家庭自尊量表)中，高分健康行为组的自尊量表得分最高。初中生的健康行为与自尊得分除身体部位与吸烟经历呈正相关外，其余均与自尊得分呈正相关。通过对初中生吸烟行为、态度与环境、自尊之间关系的调查发现，在男生中，自尊的4个方面(一般、社会、家庭、身体)与其吸烟行为之间存在显著的相关关系，“吸烟对身体健康不利，对鼓励不吸烟的行为施加压力”。在女孩中，我们还注意到自尊的所有6个方面与她们的朋友提出吸烟的态度之间存在显著的关系。这些结果表明，提高自尊可能有益于小学生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.
