ABSTRACT

With the development of science and technology causing great changes in lifestyles, abnormal body posture and spinal health problems among adolescents have become new public health issues. A systematic review of relevant external studies was carried out, and the content, education objects, education timing, teaching models and evaluation methods of adolescent spine health education were sorted out. Based on this, the Recommendations for spinal health education for adolescents include: Develop a spinal health education program based on the theoretical framework of social sciences, using a teaching format that combines theory and practice style and explore the “student-centered” teaching model; The content of spine health education should include basic knowledge, knowledge of posture habits and knowledge of sports exercises; Should be guided by knowledge Evaluate spinal health education from dimensions such as grasp, skills, daily behavioral habits, and self-efficacy. Students, parents, and teachers should be included in spine health education programs.
