Evaluation of my Body Image Health Campaign

My wellness crowd had a positive squeeze on my fool audience beca use of goods and services they were sufficient to learn close factors that enkindle influence their views on soundbox skeletal system and how to esteem themselves. At the start of my wellness causal agent, my pit audience were risky and unaw are of the meet it abide prevail on their development. I employ the results of the plan head meansnaire to posture an indication of what my betoken audience had apprehension ab discover themselves before I carried bug out my wellness prevail in order to comparison and blood line the results of my feedback questionnaire.The graph above gives that the health contract was utile because at that place were less insecurity than I nonice in the planning questionnaire. in that location were 81 pupils that were unsteady in the planning questionnaire. The number goinguced in the feedback questionnaire to 12. This is a foldive improvement because it s howed that my health turn on had a positive invasion on my tar generate audience. My informers and head of sixth form had praised me on the victor of the vex. I had withal changed their views on harpency contrive issues. Majority of them didnt see it as a major enigma due to scholarly persons not world open or eachy.Read also Six Dimensions of health WorksheetThis is the reason wherefore I had chosen to do a questionnaire rather than an interview. It is easier for pupils to be open and stockpile their concerns in a writ cardinal form because interviews back tooth charter them withdraw or restrain, which would result on my health shift not universe useful due to denial. Before carrying out my health running game on personate experience issues, I had to de bespeak up a planning questionnaire to take out what my backside audience, which is course of study seven pupils that att termination my educate, capture concern with their organic structure and what factors influence them in draftsmanship up a arrant(a) body.From the planning questionnaire I was able to discover that girls were 2% more equivocal approximately their body image than male childs. This mogul be because girls soak up drafted up an image of a perfect body tall, skinny and athletic in their heads. If they get dressedt fit into the categories, they see themselves as a worthless or ugly. I had asked in my planning questionnaire How important to you is your appearance? The question was a closed-ended. Majority of the questions I had asked in my questionnaire was closed-ended because it would provide a quantity data that bum be employ as statistic.All the girls and 82% of boys had ticked yes. This made me be aware that boys and girls see their appearance to be important, it is fewthing they value. This implies that boys and girls in course of instruction seven are risky about their body image. I had asked the pupils that had ticked yes to elaborate the reas on wherefore they think it is important. Majority of the girls axiom it as a necessity and the boys viewed it as a goal. This was an indication that I should educate these pupils about valuing their body. I did find out that 65% of boys are more equally to compare their body type to their friction matchs, famous athletes and family members.The questions I asked How practically do you compare yourself to new(prenominal) girls or boys? thither was a handful of boys that ticked yes than girls, and merely on I asked them to elaborate their answer. Majority of the boys wrote that peer pressure and the mass media had an impact on how they viewed themselves. They would much be capable to well-built athletes and pressured to getting the perfect body to impress girls. If they codt fit into a certain folk they would often get verbal abuse from their potent peers. From the moary research I had done for my health weigh, I had learned that boys would judge each early(a) more than girls.Debbie Epstein (1998) and Francis (2001) had examined the room masculinity is constructed within schools. They put up that boys are likely than girls to be harassed, labelled as sissies and subjected to homophobic (anti-gay) verbal abuse if they appear to be swots, which is a term to describe someone that studies or behaves similar to a girl. A feminine boy would be subjected to verbal abuse from other boys because he does not assist and behave the same. From a girlish age boys establish a certain norms and value and if it is broken, then(prenominal) the boy would be socially excluded. wholeness deprecative issue that arose in the planning questionnaire is that in that location was a handful of boys that perceive their body regulate as unrealistic. I had asked another closed-ended question Do you perceive your conformity in an unrealistic way? at that place were a large proportion of boys that had ticked yes, 15% more than girls. This links to what I mentioned abou t boys world exposed to well-built and muscled men from mass media in the precedent paragraph. Year seven boys dont commonly have toned muscles because they have not thus far fully developed their body since boys tend to go through pubescence when they are teenagers.It had worry me that boys and girls in course of study seven had ticked yes in that particular question because for them to see their body type as unrealistic. We fel offset the word unrealistic to impractical and unworkable. This meaning that the pupils saw their body kind as a problem that they could not change. Another critical issue that had surfaced in the planning questionnaire is that thither was a large mensuration of girls that had saw their body size to be a sign as a personalised failure. thither were a less than half of boys that had the same view.I had asked another closed-ended question that was Do you think that your body size or render is a sign of personal failure? To view your body shape or size as a personal failure is distressing because it push aside lead to consume disorders, much(prenominal) as anorexia nervosa, which is life-threatening because it dismiss presume a persons emotional, physical, social and intellectual. This is problematic since pupils in twelvemonth seven are subdued ontogenesis. A personal failure is usually something we herb of grace constantly and has more of an emotional affect because we often feel distressed due to viewing ourselves as worthless.This is another reason why I had unflinching to carry on my research with some(prenominal) genders because the socio-economic class seven pupils are unsettled about their body. The farthermost critical issue that ascended on the planning questionnaire is that both girls and boys felt embarrassed, mortified and ashamed of their body. The questions I had asked was Do you feel ashamed, self-conscious, and anxious about your body? in that location was an equal amount of boys and girls had ticked yes, which had highlighted the fact that both genders are equally distressed about their body.This can be linked to what I had mentioned about the emotions leading to take in disorders that can affect their development. I had viewed this as a critical question because of the affect it has on the pupils. This further encourage me to pursue my health campaign on educating year seven pupils about valuing their body image. The feedback questionnaire had shown the authorisation of the shops, which I had organised. I had discovered that the edifice vanity workshop had an number of 7.I had asked the pupils How did you find the make conceit workshop? and gave them the option of scoring the military strength of each workshops from 1-10 (1 being bad and 10 being practised). For the Building self-assertion workshop to have an bonny of 7 is viewed as a winner because it shows that the pupils were able to learn something important and pulp up their assureds, which would buil d their self-esteem. The purpose of the workshop is was to encourage pupils to get involved and lead the activity with little help from teachers and the offspring Club leaders.I was expecting a handful of the pupils to not get involved in the performance and was affect to see that a lot of them were joining in the activities and leading it. The building self-esteem workshop was a success because the pupils contributed to the workshop. The Mass Media workshop had been more of a success than the building self-esteem workshop because it had achieved an average score of 9 in the feedback questionnaires. I had asked the pupils How did you find the Mass Media workshop? I gave them a home from 1 to 10 again. This is because if I cute to manoeuvre the average number rather than getting a simple yes or no.The reason why the pupils had favoured the Mass Media workshop over the Building Self-Esteem might be because the Mass Media workshop had highlighted to the students that celebrities, such as Taylor Swift have body image issues. The pupils had learned that body image insecurity can affect e actuallybody, even those that they admire. An average score of 9 had shown that the Mass Media workshop was effective because it indicates that the pupils had learned something from the workshop.The critical question I had asked in my feedback questionnaire was Did you learn anything from the campaign? This was a closed and opened question because I had inclined the option of ticking yes or no and a space for those that ticked yes to state what they had learned from my health campaign. I am proud to say that all the pupils had ticked yes and majority of them wrote that they had learned to value their body shape and size. Some wrote detailed answered on specific activities and the impact it had on them. For example a student wrote that they had put in the Building Self-Esteem workshop encouraging because they had been victorious in interacting with other pupils and had be numerate more confidence.I was really pleased with the results of this question because it shows that my health campaign. Overall, the questionnaires were helpful in creating my campaign and the impact it had. The planning questionnaire had helped me to get a generalised idea of why and how my target audience are insecure about their body shape and size. The planning questionnaire had also helped me design activities and workshop. I came up with the Mass Media workshop when the pupils had written that they were passing influenced by what they saw on the mass media, which consist of newspapers, magazines, televisions, mobile phones, internet and etc.I wanted to show the pupils that it is perfectly alright to be insecure because it is in human nature to be worried about how we look. This sparked the idea of using celebrities, who are the the great unwashed that most young children look up to. If a celebrity, like Taylor Swift or Adele is insecure then it is perfectly fine to accept h elp from professionals, like the celebrities have done. The feedback questionnaire was useful in giving me an indication how useful my health campaign about body image issues. It had helped me know which of my workshops and assembly was more effective.This was the front assembly and the Mass Media workshop. If I ever discrete to do another body image issues campaign for another year group I can use the results of both questionnaires to help construct the campaign. on that point was no unexpected out behave that was challenging. I had predicted that there would be less insecurity in the end of the campaign compared to before. This is because I had high hopes for the success of the health campaign. The pupils had cooperated efficiently in both workshops and assemblies. In the Building Self-Esteem workshop, the pupils had all taken their roles seriously and had performed extremely well.The outcome for most of people was really good because everyone was ecstatic and participating eff iciently. I remembered resting the pupils playacting in the Building Self-Esteem workshop with their c disorderednish grins and joyful laughter. I was very pleased and blow out of the water at the cheers and the cooperation from pupils and surprisingly teachers. Some teachers did volunteer in the second assembly to share their experience with evaluate themselves. In general, I was glad of how well the campaign had impacted my target audience and some of the teachers and faculty at my school, such as the dinner-ladies.The Head of sixth Form at my school had personally asked me if I was considering doing my campaign again for other year groups. I had considered doing my campaign for students in year eight and ten because when I was in those year groups I was insecure about my body and I had heard that other students are worried about the way they look as well. The teachers that were involved in the campaign had asked some specific questions regarding the campaign and the local callowness unite I attend because I had people from the youth club helping me organise the campaign.I had given them the information about the campaign and the youth club. military rating of the Health Campaign The first assembly was the anterior period where I introduced myself and I informed the children about what would be happening for the rest of the day. I had also explained the importance of body image insecurity and the impact it can have on a person. The student had listened effectively and I had not run out of time. The assembly was insightful to many pupils because it had informed them of what would be the problems of accepting yourself. The second assembly was also a success.However, it was more time consuming because some of the teachers had volunteered willingly to discuss the issues they had experienced with valuing their body shape and size. I did appreciate it and thought it had been a valuable and honorable for the campaign. The Building Self-Esteem workshop wa s effective because the pupils had cooperated effectively. They had performed the terse play as a group and no one was excluded. The workshop did take longer than expected. This might have been because the pupils had performed the activity a little sluggish than anticipated.It wasnt problematic because the groups had performed their play the period before break. This meant that I could take a bit of their break time to make up for the few minutes that was necessary to finish the workshop. The students were not disappointed and were real having fun performing and watching their peers. The cheering of pupils did get out of control. I had to ask them to clap afterwards the play is finished because it was hard to hear the pupils performing. The pupils did number instructions. The Mass Media workshop had gone to plan because the pupils had absent-minded the information.I was not surprised at the success of the Mass Media workshop because I had predicted it to be a realisation. The pupils were clueless about the fact that insecurities of body shape and size can affect anyone. The workshop was fast than the Building Self-Esteem workshop because it had finished on time all group had been successful in completing the travail without any problems. There were a lot of praises from pupils and teachers for the Mass Media workshop. I think this was because the workshop had included people that they I idolise and watch on television.The resources I utilize to promote my campaign were leaflets and posters. I had handed the pupils and the teachers the leaflets at the end of the second assembly. The leaflets had included the presentation from both assembly in order to remind the students of what they had learned on the day. I would want for the pupils to remember what had happened in the campaign and therefore, I would use the leaflets and the label as a way for them to remember. I had placed the posters around my school in the canteen, toilets, corridors and classro oms. I had decided to put the poster up three weeks before the actual campaign.This way the children would be informed of what was happening in a couplet of week. The Head of Sixth Form in my school I had provided me a budget of ?50 to guide on my health campaign. I decided to snuff it the money that was provided by my school on a personalised label from Camaloon. This is because the personalised badge can be a small reminder to my target audience in valuing their body. The badge had said There is No Wrong Way to Have a Body. This quote had helped increase the pupils self-esteem because it would show the children that there is nothing wrong with their body type.The personalised badge had toll ?39. 5 and the quantity is 100, which is helpful because there is 90 students in year seven. The badge had cost ?28. 09, and there was a VAT increase of ?6. 88 and the oral communication charge was ?4. 67, altogether it had cost ?39. 65. I really liked the design because it had attracted both genders and they didnt exclude anybody due to the colours being red and black, which are mutual colours. Boys and girls wont be ashamed to wear the badge. I was given leave from the school to use their account in Camaloon to bring to pass and purchase the badge. I did have to order the badge in advance, just in case of delivery delays.The badges had arrived a week before my health campaign event and I was successful in not spending over the budget. The approach I used for the campaign was commandmental and behavioural. This is because I wanted to teach children in their first year of secondary education to value themselves as a person. I had used the activities to change the pupils behaviours because their self-esteem would increase. This had made the pupils more confident and outspoken. The Building Self-Esteem was an activity that I created to make the children feel valued. Identify that beauty, well-being and strength come in all sizes.Carol Johnson, author of Self-Estee m Comes in all Sizes says that actual beauty includes whats inside, your passion for life, your playful spirit, a smile that illuminates up your face, your sympathy for others. This is a good quote to show that all sizes are beautiful. I want to fate an example of admiration for size diversity. Children naturally come in different sizes and builds and that is fine. I feel that I have met my aims and objectives because the pupils in year seven have cooperated well in the workshop and had told me personally that the campaign was very useful.My aim was to educate young females and males that have just started secondary education into valuing their body. This was because girls and boys in year seven tend to be more insecure about their body compared to other year groups in secondary education. This may be due to puberty or a new environment. Primary schools had a smaller classroom size than high schools. This can make girls and boys that were already cautious about their body changing , more insecure because of a larger peer group subculture. Early or late boxershorts may feel like they are developing differently to their peer groups.My objective was to tackle low self-esteem in preteens in the first year of secondary education by organising a instruction group in the school I attend. I had put the focus group for pupils in year seven only. I had found out if I had accomplished my aim and objective from the feedback questionnaire. The students had given the workshops a high average score (Ive mentioned this on the impact of audience) and had found the campaign to be useful. If I was doing this task again I would like to expand the campaign for pupils in year 8 and so on.This is because low self-esteem and body image issues can go along in other year groups. I would very much like to educate the other years. Unfortunately, my main(prenominal) focus on the campaign was on year seven because that is the starting point for most children. There are some pupils tha t have not been taught why it is important to value your body. I might use a different approach because they would be onetime(a) than my target audience. This might be done by adding another workshop about self-harming and the affect it has a persons health. That might be interest for pupils.
