About this study
Official title: The Effect of a Psychosocial Adjustment Program on Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors and Sleep Deprivation in Ninth-Grade Boarding Female Students:A Non-Randomized Controlled Study
The World Health Organization defines adolescence as the ages between 10 and 19, emphasizing that supporting both the mental and physical health of this age group is crucial for determining the individual's future quality of life. Problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, maladjustment, substance use, and sleep disorders faced by adolescents can negatively affect the development of healthy lifestyle behaviors.
In this context, students living in boarding school settings represent a more vulnerable group in terms of the need for psychosocial support, as they live away from their families. Boarding students experience difficulties in adaptation due to homesickness, lack of social support, academic pressures, and a strictly regulated lifestyle, and this situation directly affects their health behaviors.

In this study, the effectiveness of a psychosocial adjustment program will be evaluated with intervention and control groups formed on a voluntary basis from ninth-grade female boarding students studying at two public boarding science high schools located in Antalya, Türkiye. The intervention group will participate in a psychosocial adjustment program developed by the researcher, consisting of five sessions, while the control group will not receive any intervention. The program includes structured and interactive group activities on themes such as adopting healthy lifestyle habits, stress and anxiety management, social support, sleep hygiene, effective communication, academic adjustment, and emotional relaxation.
The data will be collected in three phases as pre-test, post-test, and follow-up test; the data collection tools will include the Personal Information Form, the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II), and the Sleep Deprivation Scale for Children and Adolescents. The data will be analyzed using the SPSS program, and depending on normal distribution, parametric or non-parametric tests will be applied. The effect of the intervention will be measured with Cohen's d to calculate the effect size. This study holds original value as it develops a school-based intervention model under the leadership of a school health nurse, and it may provide an innovative contribution based on a holistic nursing approach to adolescents by taking its place among the limited psychosocial intervention studies conducted in boarding school settings.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale II
Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale II: The Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale II is used to evaluate individuals' healthy lifestyle behaviors. The scale consists of a total of 52 items and includes six subscales: spiritual growth, health responsibility, physical activity, nutrition, interpersonal relations, and stress management. The overall score of the scale indicates the level of healthy lifestyle behaviors. As the total score increases, it is interpreted that the individual has more healthy lifestyle behaviors.
Measured: Baseline, 4 weeks after baseline, 17 weeks after baseline
Secondary outcomes (1)
Sleep Deprivation Scale for Children and Adolescents
Sleep Deprivation Scale for Children and Adolescents: This scale is used to assess sleep deprivation in participants. Measurements will be taken before and after the intervention. The scale consists of 15 items rated on a Likert-type scale ranging from "strongly agree" to "strongly disagree." Scores on the scale range from 15 to 60. Higher scores indicate worse sleep deprivation.
Measured: Time Frame: Baseline, 4 weeks after baseline, 17 weeks after baseline
