DISORDERS
Health-promoting lifestyle is a multidimensional model of perceptions and activities that begin with personal motivation and help to improve and promote health and self-care [The culture that dominates the society is one of the factors that can affect people's behavior and lifestyle [Lifestyle and HPL usually develop during adolescence [Adolescents are at risk for many different high-risk behaviors and health problems such as immobility, unhealthy eating, tobacco smoking, unprotected sexual relationships, mental disorders, violence, and suicide which can seriously threaten their adulthood health [Meaning-based approaches and logotherapy are among the strategies with potentially positive effects on adolescents’ problems [Different studies have so far been conducted into the effects of logotherapy on the different aspects of health. For example, a study showed that participation in logotherapy-related programs had a negative relationship with suicidal thoughts and depression symptoms and positive relationship with self-esteem and perceived social support [Logotherapy needs therapist-client interaction [Different studies used logotherapy to improve the different aspects of health. For instance, a study showed that a meaning-based intervention by nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic significantly reduced stress and depression and improved meaningfulness among college students, which could lead to reduced psychological distress and improved mental health [Despite the wealth of studies into the effects of logotherapy on the different aspects of health and life, there are limited data about the effects of virtual logotherapy (VL) on HPL, particularly during epidemics such as the current COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the present study was conducted to narrow this gap. The study aimed to investigate the effects of VL on HPL among single-parent adolescent girls during the COVID-19 pandemic.
