Research progress on adolescents’ spinal health education

Abstract

With the rapid development of technology, abnormal posture and spinal problems of teenagers are emerging as new health problems. However, at present, there is no specific research towards spine health education in China. This paper systematically reviews global adolescent spinal health education, including content, participants, duration, teaching mode and evaluation method. Suggestions are recommended in this review: spinal health education program should be developed based on theoretical framework of social science, adopt the teaching form of both theory education and practice, and the “student-centered” teaching mode; a full spectrum of spine health, ranging from basic knowledge, posture habit and exercise should be provided; knowledge, skills, daily behavior and self-efficacy of participants should be included in the spinal health education evaluation framework; spinal health education should be delivered to adolescents, teachers as well as parents.
