Development and validation of a behaviour change intervention package to improve health literacy on behavioural risk factors of non-communicable diseases among health care assistants of government hospitals in Sri Lanka - exploratory research

The validated BCIP provides a structured, theory-driven approach to improving HL and reducing NCD risk behaviours among HCAs. Pilot findings support its feasibility for integration into routine induction or in-service training. Future studies will evaluate its effectiveness, with potential adaptation for broader workplace health promotion in Sri Lanka.

Abstract

The validated BCIP provides a structured, theory-driven approach to improving HL and reducing NCD risk behaviours among HCAs. Pilot findings support its feasibility for integration into routine induction or in-service training. Future studies will evaluate its effectiveness, with potential adaptation for broader workplace health promotion in Sri Lanka.
