Abstract

Introduction: Unhealthy LIFESTYLE causes complications and requires greater attention towards education and HEALTH PROMOTION programs among various social groups. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of PEER EDUCATION on health- promoting LIFESTYLE in HEALTH VOLUNTEERS.Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, firstly, through the convenience sampling method, 59 cases from four subset health centers of Mashhad were selected based on the results of a pilot study. Next, through random assignment, 2 centers were devoted to the experimental group (29 individuals) and 2 other centers to the control group (30 individuals). In the experimental group, after selection of peer educators, an educational intervention was performed in 6 sessions. Overall, 45 to 60 minutes was assigned for each session in the form of small groups and cooperative learning. Common application of centers was organized for the control group. In both groups, LIFESTYLE norm questionnaire was filled out before and 4 weeks after the intervention. Data Analysis was done using SPSS V.16 as well as t test, Mann-Whitney U, Wilcoxon, and Chi-Square Test.Results: After the intervention, mean scores of health promoting LIFESTYLE showed a significant increase in the experimental group in all aspects compared with before the intervention (P<0.001). However, the control group showed no significant increase in all aspects except health responsibility (P>0.05). Difference of mean scores in all aspects of LIFESTYLE in the experimental group was statistically significant compared with the control group (P<0.001).Conclusions: PEER EDUCATION is effective in improving the LIFESTYLE of HEALTH VOLUNTEERS. Therefore, the use of PEER EDUCATION is recommended in HEALTH VOLUNTEERS training.
