The Effects of Life-Respect Education Programs on Children and Adolescents in Korea: A Meta-Analysis on Sense of Life Respect

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the effects of life respect education program among children and adolescents in Korea through systematic review of literature and meta-analysis. Methods: We searched data-bases including research information sharing service, Korean studies information service system, data base periodical information academic and hand-searched article reference. We have evaluated articles published between 2000 and 2015, out of 93 selected articles, the 9 studies were meta-analyzed. Each article was evaluated by the checklist of scottish intercollegiate guideline network and overall risk of bias was low. The effect size of life respect education program was synthesized by random-effects model from analysis software (R 3.2.3). The heterogeneity of effect size was analyzed by exploratory and confirmatory moderator analysis. Results: Overall effect size of life respect program showed high (g=0.94). For heterogeneity, moderator analysis was performed, there were significant differences in session (Qb=11.62, df=5, p=.041) and target (Qb=8.66, df=2, p=.013). Also, meta-regression was performed using number of sessions, total intervention time, target, year of publication, the regression model is significant in session (Q=5.76, df=1, p=0.016), regression coefficient was a significant difference in session (b=-0.02, Z=-2.4). Finally, a funnel plot along with trim-and-fill analysis was produced to check for publication bias, but no significant bias was detected. Conclusion: Based on these findings, there is clear evidence that life respect education intervention program has significant positive effects on the sense of life respect of children and adolescents.
