Significant risk factors for the physical and mental health of children and adolescents include, among other things, disordered eating patterns, overweight and reduced physical activity, low self-esteem and negative body image.
"In Favor of Myself" is a preventive intervention program. The program's primary goal is to increase adolescents' self-esteem and to prevent negative self-image and body image, as well as to development media literacy. In this study, the investigators will focus on the "Young In Favor of Myself " program, designed for ages 10-12, grades 5 and 6, and its main goal is the development of self-care behaviors, media literacy, positive self-esteem, and body-image. To increase the effect of "Young In Favor of Myself " program, on the adolescents, the investigators have developed a teacher component as an addition to the school-based intervention, usually delivered by college students. The study will first assess the teachers' influence on the program, and then evaluate the difference in adolescent outcomes from the program with or without this supplement.
Results will be measured using the study questionnaire, to be filled out by the participants (both teachers and adolescents) before, after, and three months after the completion of the program. The questionnaire will include validated questionnaires with good psychometric qualities. The study protocol was approved by Tel Hai College institutional review board. Parents of all participants, in the intervention and in the control group, as well as teachers involved in the program, received information about the program and the study and were asked to provide informed consent.

Change from Baseline in The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC)
Prazo: Measured three times over six months: at baseline, at program termination (immediately after last session), and three months after the completion of the course, measuring a change in scores
|
The CD-RISC is based on Connor and Davidson's operational definition of resilience, which is the ability to "thrive in the face of adversity." The scale includes 25 items, from 5 sub-scales: Personal competence, high standards, and tenacity Trust in one's instincts, tolerance of negative affect, and strengthening effects of stress Positive acceptance of change and secure relationships Control Spiritual influences Scoring: Scoring of the scale is based on summing the total of all items, each of which is scored from 0-4. For the CD-RISC-25, the full range is therefore from 0 to 100, with higher scores reflecting greater resilience. (Connor KM, Davidson JRT. Depression and Anxiety 2003; 18: 71-82). The scale will only be used in the teacher questionnaire, not in the child version. |
