About this trial

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a Social Cognitive Theory-based education program on self-efficacy, healthy lifestyle behaviors, and health literacy in older adults aged 65 years and over attending primary care centers. Participants will be assigned to either an intervention group receiving a structured education program or a control group receiving routine care. The intervention consists of three face-to-face educational sessions delivered weekly. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and 4-6 weeks after the intervention using validated scales. The findings are expected to contribute to improving health behaviors and health literacy among older adults in primary care settings.

1

Self-Efficacy Level

Self-efficacy will be assessed using the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES). The scale consists of 10 items scored on a 4-point Likert scale (1-4), with a total score ranging from 10 to 40. Higher scores indicate higher levels of self-efficacy (better outcome).

Time frame
Baseline and 4-6 weeks after intervention

Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors

Healthy lifestyle behaviors will be measured using the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II). The scale includes 52 items rated on a 4-point Likert scale (1-4), with total scores ranging from 52 to 208. Higher scores indicate more positive health-promoting lifestyle behaviors (better outcome).

Time frame
Baseline and 4-6 weeks after intervention
3

Health Literacy Level

Health literacy will be assessed using the Health Literacy Scale-Short Form (HLS-SF). The scale consists of items rated on a Likert-type scale, with total scores ranging from 0 to 50. Higher scores indicate higher health literacy levels (better outcome).
