Brief Summary: This study was planned to evaluate the effect of a health education program based on the health belief model and text messages on the level of knowledge awareness and quality of life regarding cardiovascular disease risk factors in firefighters A total of 160 firefighters 84 in the intervention group and 76 in the control group constituted the sample of the study

Hypotheses of the Study H1 The mean CDRAAS posttest scores of the firefighters in the intervention group after health education will be higher than the mean posttest scores of the control group

H2 The mean CDRAAS post-test scores of the firefighters in the intervention group after the health education will be higher than the mean pre-test scores

H3 The mean CARRIF-KL posttest scores of the firefighters in the intervention group after health education will be higher than the mean posttest scores of the control group

H4 The mean CARRIF-KL posttest scores of the firefighters in the intervention group after the health education will be higher than the mean pretest scores

H5 The mean EQ-5D posttest scores of the firefighters in the intervention group after health education will be higher than the mean posttest scores of the control group

H6 The mean EQ-5D posttest scores of the firefighters in the intervention group after health education will be higher than the mean pretest scores
Detailed Description: In this study a randomized control group pretest-posttest design was used to evaluate the effect of a health education program based on the health belief model and text messages on the level of knowledge awareness and quality of life regarding cardiovascular disease risk factors in firefighters

The power analysis was applied based on a 5 significance level or 95 confidence interval two-way 80 power requirement As a result of the analysis the minimum sample size required for each group intervention and control in the study was calculated as 67 people The intervention group received health education on prevention of cardiovascular disease risk factors based on the Health Belief Model consisting of 3 sessions Following the health education a total of 39 reminder text messages were sent via WhatsApp three or four times a week for 12 weeks to increase self-efficacy and health motivation Data were collected through face-to-face interviews and by using the Cardiovascular Disease Risk Awareness Rating Scale the Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factor Knowledge Level Scale and the EQ-5D Quality of Life Scale In data analysis dependent samples t test paired samples t test was used for intra-group mean comparisons and independent samples t test independent samples t test was used for inter-group mean comparisons
