Introduction:
The nursing process is a method for solving the problems used to meet the health and care needs of individuals. Using the nursing process enables nurses to use critical thinking for clinical judgment and their care activities. Thus, the present study was conducted to specify the effect of the implementation of the nursing process on students' health behaviors.
Materials And Methods:
The population was first-year high school girl students in Kurdistan in 2016-2017 that comprised 90 students. The questionnaire used was one for the health needs of adolescent girls and was a standard questionnaire with 65 questions. The purpose was to evaluate the health needs of girls from different aspects (mental health, emotional needs, social health needs, educational needs, physical health needs, belief needs). Students were randomly assigned into experimental and control groups and nursing-based interventions were done for the experimental group. Data were analyzed in SPSS.
Results:
The results showed no significant differences between students' health behaviors before the implementation of the nursing process, but after performing the intervention according to the implementation of the nursing process, the status of observing the students' health behaviors significantly improved.
Conclusion:
Given the positive effect of the nursing process on enhancing students' health behaviors, this type of nursing intervention should be done in other studies and in clinics to enhance the health of the students.
