Motivational Interviewing-Based Training

The universe of the study consists of 1 secondary school selected by simple random method from 39 secondary schools located in the city center affiliated to the Muş Provincial Directorate of National Education. G Power 3.1.9.7 program was used to determine the sample size for the study. The program used the ''A priori: compute required sample'' analysis method. Accordingly, when the first type error amount (α = 0.05) was taken at an effect size of 0.365 (Seyhan Şahin \& Ayaz-Alkaya, 2024), it was determined that the number of people to be included in the study to reach 99% power was 60 (30 intervention, 30 control). Experimental and control groups will be determined by simple random method among the students who accept to participate in the research. Pre-test will be applied to the students in the control group, post-test will be applied 6 weeks after the pre-test and control test will be applied 3 months after the post-test. 6-week motivational interview based training will be given to the students in the experimental group after the pre-test. Post-test will be applied at the end of the training and control test will be applied 3 months after the post-test. In the study, first the control group and then the experimental group will be included in the study..
