Abstract
- This study examined the effects of spinal health educational programs.A nonequivalent control-group pretest-posttest design was used. Participants were 88 fifth-grade elementary schoolchildren. Three groups were compared: a Web-based program group, a traditional face-to-face program group, and a control group.In both intervention groups, the changes for spinal health knowledge and self-efficacy were significantly higher than those of the control group. However, the changes of spinal health practices were not significantly different.A Web-based spinal health education program is a convenient and flexible health educational approach that was as effective in this study as traditional face-to-face instruction.
