Abstract

The study on the impact of a health program using the means of health fitness, motivational training, and psychocorrective activities on the transformation of value orientations of underweight teenage schoolgirls is relevant. The aim of the study is to investigate the impact of a comprehensive health program on the transformation of value orientations and school anxiety of underweight adolescent girls. The study involved 69 underweight adolescent girls (among them 54 12-yearold girls and 15 13-year-old girls). Methods. To assess value orientations, the M. Rokych’s methodology was used. The Phillips test was used to assess the level and nature of school anxiety in teenage girls. The factor structure of value orientations and school anxiety of 12-13-year-old girls with body weight deficiency was studied using factor analysis. Results. Based on the factor analysis, the transformation of the girls’ instrumental values, as well as the positive dynamics of the decrease in their school anxiety indicators, were accepted as criteria for the effectiveness of the health program. The program was designed for 9 months of duration and included psychocorrective activities, motivational training, and health-enhancing recreational physical activity. After the study, the value of health increased by 2 points and was in the top three most important values, and the value of knowledge rose by 6 units in the ranking of values. Among the positive changes, it should be noted that the rating of such a value as “Sensitivity” increased by 7 points and “Intolerance to shortcomings in oneself and others” decreased by 9 points. After participation in the program, there was a decrease in school anxiety indicators (frustration of the need to achieve success, which is expressed in an unfavorable mental background that does not allow the child to achieve a high result and fear of self-expression, which is manifested in negative emotional experiences of situations related to the need t present myself to others). Conclusions. The proposed program had a positive effect on the transformation of value orientations, the reduction of school anxiety indicators of 12–13-year-old girls with a body weight deficit.
