- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors-II Scale 6 months Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors-II Scale aims to measure the health promotion behaviors of individuals. The scale consists of 52 items. It is a four-point Likert-type scale (1: "never," 2: "sometimes," 3: "often," and 4: "regularly"). The lowest score that can be obtained is 52, and the highest score is 208. High scores indicate that the individual practices the specified health behaviors at a high level.
International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form 6 months International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form, the intensity (mild, moderate, and severe) of physical activity is taken into account to accommodate different types of physical activities. The questionnaire provides information about sitting, walking, and the time spent in moderately intense and vigorous activities. Vigorous physical activities have a value of 8.0 MET, moderate activities have a value of 4.0 MET, and walking has a value of 3.3 MET. The minute and frequency (day) values of the relevant activities are multiplied by the MET values. The total physical activity value is obtained by summing the multiplication values obtained at the last stage. Accordingly, the physical activity levels of individuals are classified as physically inactive (\<600 MET-min/week), low physical activity (600-3000 MET-min/week), and adequate physical activity (health benefits) (\>3000 MET-min/week).
