Hygienic Foundations for the Formation of Culture of Healthy Lifestyle of Schoolchildren

Background. Hygienic education and the creation of conditions for motivating schoolchildren to health-saving behavior is the most important task of parents, teachers, the public, preventive medicine and the state. Aim. Studying the advantages and disadvantages of educational technologies used in working with schoolchildren and their parents when conducting hygiene education in educational institutions. Material and methods. The study consisted of four stages. At the first stage, a selective audit of information posted on 24 official websites of educational organizations in Kazan was carried out. At the second stage, 142 parents were surveyed. The third stage included work with 25 teachers in focus groups. At the fourth stage, a survey of 374 (192 girls and 182 boys) students in grades 710 was conducted. The results were processed using the methods of parametric and nonparametric statistics (mean value, error of the arithmetic mean, proportion of the feature, Kendal coefficient, 2 at a significance level of 0.05). Results. Most (22 out of 24 analyzed) websites of educational organizations did not contain information on student health protection. The survey results of 142 parents showed low interest in the work carried out at the school. Evaluation of leaflets on healthy eating allowed us to choose the two most useful and informative ones: For a teenager about nutrition. Food for the mind (Xav=9.14 points) with consensus (W=0.744; =0.0456) and Healthy food for schoolchildren (Xav=9.03 points; W=0.757; =0.0398). The study of educational technologies used by teachers to instill in students the basic principles of health saving showed that teachers do not always use active forms. The result of a survey of 374 students was the identified need to improve knowledge in matters of self-regulation of the psychological state. Conclusion. The study of the advantages and disadvantages of educational technologies used in the conduct of hygienic education and training of schoolchildren and their parents in the conditions of educational organizations requires further improvement and wider use of active forms of education that meet the needs of students.

The article describes the possibility of using the data on the health status and lifestyle self-assessment obtained during the questionnaire survey of high school students in the teacher's preventive activities aimed at preserving and improving the schoolchildren's health. The main indicators that according to the respondents determine their quality of life have been revealed, and health status is ranked only third. It has been found that 40% of students consider their health to be “good”, while 53% currently do not worry about their health at all. Certain characteristics of physical activity, nutrition, sleep schedule, prevalence of bad habits in students attending schools of various types are provided. Despite high subjective assessment of physical activity, only 8% of schoolchildren do morning excercises every day, most of students do not attend sports sections. More than 40% of students sleep less than seven hours, which has a negative effect on the adolescents' health. Evidence has been obtained that 19% of schoolchildren have tried vaping and 13% vape regularly, which is definitely worrisome.
