Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop and pilot-test a health literacy education program for early childhood, based on intervention mapping, to prevent smoking hazards.
Methods: Intervention mapping was applied to develop an intervention program and devise its content to improve knowledge, attitudes, life skills, self-esteem, and parenting environment for preschool children so that they would practice and maintain non-smoking behavior in the future. We did a pilot test and evaluated it by analyzing interviews with 97 preschoolers who took part in that test.
Results: Analysis of the interviews showed that the pilot testing made significant differences in the children’s knowledge about smoking (p<.001), attitudes (p<.05), and environment (p<.001). Also, their intention, life skills, and self-esteem levels were maintained or improved after education.
Conclusion: The health literacy education program developed in this study can help protect early childhood from smoking hazards and improve their health literacy to help them toward appropriate decisions, communications, and self-control in regard to smoking.
