Impact of Healthy Lifestyle Education on Health Management Outcomes in Physical Examination Personnel

Abstract

One cross-sectional study assessed the effects of health promotion education on the health care of the examinees in a physical check-up center. A total of 100 examinees, selected from 20,000 individuals between January and December 2022, were divided into two groups: a standard health management control group (n=50); and an observation group of healthy lifestyle education (n=50). Measures of behavior compliant, overall satisfaction, complaint-rate, knowledge test scores, health management quality and self reported negative emotions were obtained at the end of the intervention. Outcomes elucidated here revealed that the personnel in the observation group excelled the participants in the control group in all the parameters that were evaluated with significant (P<0.05) differences. Observation group had greater behavioral compliance and management satisfaction percentages. Finally, the observation group reported lower complaint rates concerning examination, information communication and privacy as well. Knowledge scores (health knowledge, self-concept, self-care responsibility, and self-care skills) were significantly higher in observation group emphasizing on positive change of health knowledge and health responsibility. Other evidence suggesting a general upward shift in health management quality indexes of care, service, technology, environment, and guidance were also observed in the observation group. Important negative affects, including depressive- and anxiety-like behaviors, were also significantly diminished in the observed group relative to the control group. Slowing down their compliance, reducing complaints, alleviating negative emotions and improving the quality of health management in clinic are considered as the findings of healthy lifestyle education. To sum, the adaption of healthy lifestyle education in to health management protocols in examination physical centers enhances the voluntary adherence and information acquisition among examinees as well as satisfaction and complaint level and minimizes negative emotions. This approach also realize the enhancement of the quality of health management and inclined to recognize that it can be an important approach in delivering healthcare services.
