Abstract

This descriptive research design aimed to 1) develop a health promotion program using dance game for overweight and obese adolescents, and 2) evaluate the satisfaction of overweight and obese adolescents with the program. The research methodology comprised five steps: 1) analyzing the problem and needs; 2) designing the program based on Pender’s Health Promotion Model combined with the application of dance games; 3) developing the program and creating a satisfaction questionnaire; 4) testing the quality and piloting the programand 5) evaluating the program’s outcomes. The research instruments were validated by six experts. The program was piloted with purposive sampling of 15 adolescents aged 13-18 years with overweight and obesity over a period of four weeks. The program promoted perceived benefits through activities such as perceived benefit assessment, goal setting, and educational sessions. It also addressed perceived barriers through problem-solving analysis activities and providing opportunities for adolescents to consult about their individual problems. Furthermore, it promoted perceived self-efficacy through watching videos of mastery experiences (role models sharing their success) and playing dance games. Also, the program incorporated social persuasion by having participants play games in pairs to encourage physical movement. Afterwards, the adolescents completed a satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.

The results revealed: 1) the program content was consistent with the objectives and definitions (100%) and had very good content validity (Content Validity Index: CVI=1.00); 2) participants had a high level of overall satisfaction with the program (81.73%). In conclusion, this study suggested that the program can be a viable option for promoting health increase physical activity and reduce sedentary behavior in adolescents with overweight and obesity.
