The systematic random sample was used for this study on every fourth class. The total sample was 440 students girls. Every class contains about 55 girls. Three tools were designed specifically to collect data; first tool: Questionnaire sheet to assess demographic data; second tool: to assess weight and height of students and BMI and third tools : Quality Of Life (QOL) questionnaire sheet. The original scale was constructed by Lehman (1986) to assess (QOL) of students. Study showed that mean age of studied students was 13 years mean weight was 51.6 Kg, and mean height was 154 cm. The majority of students were normal weight 72.3% but 16.8% of students were at risk for overweight, only 3.6% of them were overweight and 2.5%obese, 4.8% of sample were under weight. Statistically significant differences were observed between the three categories of overweight in levels of QOL; while the majority of students had low Quality Of Life (83.8%) compared to only 16.2% moderate level (QOL) and no high (QOL) in the three categories. The school is an ideal setting for promotion of new health behaviors school health nurse and specialists in pediatric nursing should work in collaboration with teachers and other educator in the community to achieve positive outcome related to childhood overweight and obese.
تهدف الدراسة لتقيم تأثير زيادة الوزن على نوعية الحياة في المرحلة الإعدادية، وقد أجريت الدراسة بمدرستى النهضة الإعدادية وعصمت عفيفي الإعدادية بمدنية أسيوط أثناء العام الدراسي 2005/2006، وتم أخذ العينة بطريقة عشوائية منتظمة، واشتملت على أربع فصول لکل من المدرستين، يوجد بکل فصل 55 طالبة وکانت العينة الکلية 440 طالبة، وقد صممت الاستمارات لجمع البيانات، استمارة على البيانات الأولية، والثانية علي مقياس نوعية الحياة، والثالثة قياس الوزن المثالي(BMI).
وقد أوضحت نتائجالدراسة أن المتوسط الحسابي لعمر الطالبات 13 سنة، ووزنهن کان 51.6 کيلو جرام، وطولهن 154 سنتميتر، وأغلب الطالبات کانت أوزانهن طبيعية 72.3%، 16.8% من الطالبات معرضات لزيادة الوزن، 2.5% بدينات، 4.8% أقل من الوزن، کما وجد اختلافات إحصائية بين الفئات الثلاثة ومستوياتها، وکانت أغلبية الطالبات ذات مستوى منخفض لنوعية الحياة 83.3%، 16.2% کانت معتدلة، ولا يوجد مستوى عالي لنوعية الحياة. وقد أوصيت الدراسة بضرورة عمل برامج تدريبية عن الغذاء المثالي والنشاط الرياضي والمتابعة للطللبات المعرضات للسمنة عن طريق الزائرات الصحيات والممرضات والمدرسين بالمدارس.
