Abstract:

Background: Healthy lifestyles and health literacy are strongly associated with cognitive health in older adults, however, it is unclear whether this relationship can be generalized to health-promoting lifestyles and eHealth literacy. To date, no research has examined the interactive effect of health-promoting lifestyles and eHealth literacy on cognitive health. Objective: To examine the associations among health-promoting lifestyles, eHealth literacy, and cognitive health in older adults. Methods: Using a stratified cluster sampling method, we conducted a survey with older adults in four districts and two counties in Jinan (China). Older adults (n = 1201; age ≥ 60 years) completed our survey. We assessed health-promoting lifestyles, eHealth literacy, and cognitive health, and collected participants’ sociodemographic information. Results: Health-promoting lifestyles and eHealth literacy were significantly and positively associated with cognitive health (both p < 0.01). In addition, eHealth literacy was positively associated with health-promoting lifestyles. Moreover, the interaction of health-promoting lifestyle and eHealth literacy negatively predicted cognitive health (β = −0.465, p < 0.01). Conclusions: Health-promoting lifestyles and eHealth literacy were associated with the cognitive health of Chinese older adults, both independently and interactively. Further, eHealth literacy was associated with health-promoting lifestyles in older adults. Therefore, interventions regarding healthy lifestyles and eHealth literacy would benefit older adults.

Abstract:

The problem of overweight children is an increasing public health concern in the United States. Many children today consume diets that are high in fat, lack regular physical activity, and receive minimal amounts of nutrition education at school. School-based education about nutrition and healthy lifestyles provides an opportunity for intervention with all children. A program for 4th- and 5th-grade students was designed to increase the student’s knowledge about nutrition and healthy lifestyles. After implementation of the program, there was a significant increase in student knowledge of nutrition and healthy lifestyles as determined by a pretest and posttest evaluation. The results have implications for school nurses because childhood behaviors have such a profound impact on future adult lifestyle choices.

AbstractAimThis study aimed to examine the relationships between socio-economic status, health-promoting lifestyles, and quality of life among Chinese nursing students.BackgroundNursing students will be future health promoters, but they may not always adopt the recommended healthy lifestyle. Currently, there are insufficient studies examining the health-promoting lifestyles of Chinese nursing students, and the impact of socio-economic status and health-promoting lifestyle on their health.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional survey. Data were collected from nursing students studying in pre-registration nursing programs of a university in Hong Kong. The survey was conducted through a self-administered questionnaire that solicited information regarding their socio-economic status, health-promoting lifestyle, quality of life, and perceptions of the barriers to adopting a health-promoting lifestyle.FindingsA total of 538 students returned completed questionnaires for analysis. Among the health-promoting lifestyle subscales, the participants performed best in interpersonal relations and worst in physical activity, and the vast majority of them did not actively engage in health-risk behaviors. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that only 5% of the variance in quality of life was explained by socio-economic variables, whereas a total of 24% of the variance was explained when health-promoting lifestyle variables were added. In particular, health responsibility, physical activity, spiritual growth, and stress management were statistically significant predictors of quality of life.ConclusionsEarly concerns about how prepared nurses are to take on the role of promoting health still apply today. School administrators should plan the nursing curriculum to include activities that encourage student nurses to participate in health-promoting lifestyles. Future studies are needed to explore the barriers that prevent students from practicing health-promoting behavior.

Abstract:

Introduction: Exercise intervention is the easiest and most effective way to promote human health. This study combined technology and exercise to improve the health behavior of the older adults through a physical activity intervention and to enhance a health-promoting lifestyle. Materials and methods: A quasi-experimental research method was used to openly recruit 120 healthy male and female older adults over 65 years old (average age of males: 71.6 ± 1.25 years; average age of females: 72.3 ± 1.28 years), all of whom wore smart bracelets. The participants were monitored by special personnel during the same period of walking every Monday to Friday. All participants recorded their daily steps, distance walked, and calorie consumption data for a period of 8 weeks. Results: After 8 weeks of walking, all participants showed a positive medium–high correlation of various factors between healthy behaviors and the health-promoting lifestyle scales. In the post-tests of each factor of two scales, males had the highest correlation between regular physical activity and physical activity, and females had the highest correlation between regular physical activity and social support. The variabilities in the explanatory power of the health behaviors of males and females on the health-promoting lifestyle were R2 = 70.9% (p < 0.01) and R2 = 74.1% (p < 0.01), indicating that the variables of healthy behaviors have a positive effect on health-promoting lifestyles in male and female older adults. Conclusions: Walking interventions positively affect the health behaviors of older adults and encourage health-promoting lifestyles. The value of this study is in its contribution to health promotion and public health recommendations for older adults.

Abstract:

Purpose: Primary health care reform presents new opportunities for registered dietitians (RDs) to contribute to health promotion and disease prevention in family practices. Since this is an emerging area of RD practice, a health promotion specialist was contracted to conduct a needs assessment and develop a plan for implementing nutrition-focused healthy lifestyle activities. Methods: The needs assessment was conducted as part of an Ontario-based demonstration project in three Family Health Networks (FHNs). Results: The needs assessment revealed a lack of agreement about what types of activities should be undertaken, a lack of information on the population's needs, a lack of coordination with other agencies in the community, and barriers of time and resources. The health promotion specialist recommended that health care team members in each FHN develop a shared understanding of their goals, and undertake the entire planning and evaluation cycle. Specific strategies were suggested to increase awareness, to provide health education, and to improve environmental support. Conclusions: A significant need exists for conceptual development, planning, testing, and evaluation of disease prevention and health promotion in family physician-based primary health care organizations. The findings may be useful to others interested in increasing the focus on health promotion and disease prevention in such practices.

Abstract:

Nurses as a health professional has a significant role in primary health services in nurturing, and also enabling the community to healthy behavior. Nurse students will become role models for healthy lifestyles and as leaders to enable people to live healthy lives, this is inversely proportional to the possibility of their unhealthy lifestyles since the study period. The purposes of study were to assess the level health-promoting lifestyle among student of nursing and identify the differences in such lifestyle based on socio-demography. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 326 of nursing students in East Kalimantan. The data has been collected by Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II) level (i.e., responsibility of health, spiritual, physical activities, interpersonal relationship, student nutrition, and their stress management). Data was taken by online self-administered questionnaire. Participants were recruited by convenience sampling. Descriptive and inferential statistics data analysis has been conducted. It was found that 76.4% were female, 37.7% were in second years study, as much as 58.9% of students from municipality areas. The mean score of 2.79 (good) of total HPLP II. The highest mean score was shown for interpersonal relationship by nurse students 3.25 (excellent) and the lowest was daily nutrition (2.43) and physical activity (2.47) as moderate level. Based on independence t-test analysis there were differences statistically in physical activity between gender (p-value <0.001), there is a difference statistically in health responsibility between student from municipality and regency (p-value = 0.010). In general, the HPLP indicators for nursing students are good, but improvement and promotion of healthy lifestyles is still needed. Further identification as strengthening to determine the cause of low nutrition and physical activity. Aspects that must be maintained are interpersonal relationships and spiritual growth.

Abstract:

Objectives: The aim of our study was to determine the importance and assessment of a health-promoting lifestyle and its possible association with well-being of medical students. Study Design: Cross Sectional Study. Setting: Aziz Fatima Medical and Dental College Faisalabad. Period: June to July 2020. Material & Methods: The English version of Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile, and WHO-5 Well-Being Index were used in our study. Results: The research was conducted with 205 medical students. From which 102(49.8%) belongs from 4-year class and 103(50.2%) from 5-year class. Based on the table, the mean age of the total participants was 22.45(±1.03) years. Among the participants, the mean score of a health-promoting lifestyle was 133.36 ±18.90, which is interpreted as moderate. Lifestyle mean score is greater in 5th-year class as compare to 4th-year class but no significant difference was found because p value is greater than 0.05 there was a significant relationship between well-being and health-promoting lifestyle. Age and gender, were associated with students lifestyles. Independent t test is used to compare the mean difference in gender and MBBS class. Chi square test is used to find the significant association between well-being categories with gender and MBBS class. Pearson correlation coefficient method is used to measure the correlation between well being and healthy lifestyles. Conclusion: A health-promoting lifestyle of students in this study was moderate and they did not have an acceptable level of physical activity. The medical students’ curriculums need to be improved to enhance health promoting lifestyles.

Abstract:

Research in lifestyle risks is becoming more and more important, particularly with reference to what is generally known as “unhealthy diets”. The Law is now firmly established as a prominent instrument of Public Health. There are several distinctive methods of legal intervention targeted at counteracting overweight and promoting healthier lifestyles. In this paper we examine several measures that have been adopted and discuss whether Law should foster healthy diets. Our purpose is to examine the threats of falling into a paternalistic attitude when devising any regulatory intervention aimed at promoting a healthier lifestyle.

Abstract:

Introduction. Today, improving lifestyles and promoting health are basic needs for human society. The main goal in promoting health is to achieve healthy lifestyle behaviors, and self-efficacy is one of the factors influencing people’s lifestyle. Therefore, the impact of educational intervention based on self-efficacy theory on improving lifestyles of the female teachers in Galledar was investigated. Method. This study was a semiexperimental study with educational intervention with a control group that was performed on 120 teachers in Galledar. Data collection tools included demographic information questionnaires, health-promoting lifestyle questionnaires, and Sherry’s self-efficacy questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25 software. Result. The mean age and standard deviation of teachers in the control and intervention groups were 33.40 ± 5.68 and 32.83 ± 6.46 years, respectively. Health-promoting lifestyle variables are significant correlation with self-efficacy and overall lifestyle index. Six dimensions which consisted of spiritual growth and self-actualization, health responsibility, interpersonal relationships, stress management, exercise and physical activity, and nutrition showed significant statistical differences before and after educational intervention ( P = 0.001 ). Conclusion. Due to the sensitive role of teachers as an effective human force in the development and evolution of society and their students’ role modeling, the authorities should formulate policies, regulate educational interventions, and design strategies for promoting self-efficacy beliefs and promoting a healthy lifestyle for all teachers. We suggest that other methods and theories of behavior change be used in future studies to promote a healthy lifestyle.

Abstract:

Few studies have evaluated and contrasted the lifestyles and quality of life of university students by academic discipline. We compared university students’ lifestyle and quality of life, and schools’ compliance with health promotion guidelines. Then, needs were ranked and prioritized. This was a cross-sectional study carried out in a public university in Northeastern Mexico. Higher education students with no visual or hearing impairment from six different academic disciplines were included (N = 5443). A self-administered and anonymous questionnaire was applied that included the HPLP (Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile) and SF-12 scales. A check list was employed for measuring 26 on-site schools’ compliance with health promotion guidelines, and needs were ranked using Z-scores. The mean lifestyle was 53.9 ± 14.8 and the mean quality of life was 69.7 ± 5. Men had healthier lifestyles with more exercise and better stress management. The mean compliance with health promotion guidelines was 58.7%. Agricultural Sciences students had the highest need for improving both lifestyle and quality of life. Arts, Education, and Humanities, Engineering and Technology, and Social and Administrative Sciences schools ranked first in need for health promotion actions. The methodology used allowed hierarchization of areas requiring planning and implementation of specific actions, and the results indicated that healthy lifestyles and quality of life should be a priority.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTObjectiveHealth care workers performing rescue tasks in large-scale disaster areas are usually challenged in terms of physical and mental endurance, which can affect their lifestyles. Nevertheless, data on whether health care workers tend to adopt healthy lifestyles after disasters are limited. This paper compares the adoption of healthy lifestyle behaviors among health care workers with that among non–health care workers in a postdisaster area.MethodsThis cross-sectional observational study was conducted in August 2016. The Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II questionnaire was used to interview 261 health care workers and 848 non–health care workers.ResultsResults of the multivariable linear models showed that health care workers had lower physical activity levels (ß=−1.363, P<.0001), worse stress management (ß=−1.282, P<.0001), slower spiritual growth (ß=−1.228, P=.002), and poorer interpersonal relationships (ß=−0.814, P=.019) than non–health care workers. However, no significant differences were found in either nutrition (ß=−0.362, P=.319) or health responsibility (ß=−0.421, P=.283).ConclusionsHealth care workers had less healthy lifestyle behaviors, including physical activity, stress management, spiritual growth, and interpersonal relationships. Further studies are needed to develop health-improving interventions for health care workers in postdisaster areas. (Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2019;13:230–235)

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between racial identity, self-esteem, sociodemographic factors, and health-promoting lifestyles in a sample of African Americans. African American mortality rates are disproportionately high. These rates are associated with health behaviors that are driven by many factors including lifestyle practices. Other factors may be self-esteem and racial identity. Research shows gender differences in health behaviors, but no studies have explored a racial identity and gender interaction. Exploring these relationships may lead to the improved health status of African Americans. A convenience sample of 224 was recruited consisting of 48% males (n = 108). The mean age was 37.2 years (SD = 12.6). Regression analyses demonstrated that the internalization racial identity stage (β = .12; p < .001) and self-esteem (β = .50; p < .001) contributed to the variance in health-promoting lifestyles. Self-esteem did not mediate the relationship between immersion and health-promoting lifestyle scores (β = -.16; p = .03). The full model Beta values show that racial identity remains significant with sociodemographics and interactions controlled, but moderators do not. Racial identity, while not a strong predictor, has some impact on health-promoting lifestyles regardless of sociodemographics.

Abstract:

Published studies dealing with health promotion activities, such as the improvement of physical activity and healthy eating, for workers and students prove the effectiveness of these preventive interventions. The consequent benefits include better prevention of cardiovascular risk and an improvement in quality of life. Considering this, an intervention aimed at promoting healthy eating and non-sedentary lifestyles has been implemented within an Italian university: the aim of the present research is to evaluate its effectiveness. The intervention consisted of a targeted asynchronous e-learning two-hour course on healthy eating and non-sedentary lifestyles. The attendants were 2004 university students and employees. We conducted two surveys before and after the training intervention, and, through the responses obtained, we evaluated the effectiveness of the intervention. We applied different statistical methods, including unpaired t-tests and nonparametric tests, principal components and cluster analysis. Our results indicate that the post-training knowledge has been significantly improved, compared to that pre-training (7.3 vs. 8.7, p < 0.001). Moreover, the whole sample showed an improved awareness of the importance of healthy behaviors, and perception of the University as an institution promoting a healthy lifestyle. Through the principal components analysis, we identified a unidimensional latent factor named “health and behaviors”. The cluster analysis highlighted that the sub-group reporting the lowest scores at the survey before the training was the one with the highest improvement after the intervention. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first Italian study testing, before and after a health promotion intervention, the knowledge and the attitudes and behaviors towards healthy lifestyles of a group of students and workers. Moreover, we also evaluated the pre- and post-intervention perceived health status, as well as the level of engagement of the attendants, with respect to their colleagues and management in an educational institution promoting wellbeing. The conclusions of our study support the need for further adoption of health promotion training interventions, similar to the one we performed, in order to improve healthy eating and non-sedentary behaviors among workers and students.

Abstract:

How does engagement in multiple health behaviors consolidate into health promoting health lifestyles, and how does economic development provide a broadly shared living condition to enable participation in health promoting health lifestyles? To answer these questions, we harmonize information from the 2011 International Social Survey Programme and the 2014 European Social Survey to examine patterns of health lifestyles and subsequent associations with self-rated health in representative samples of 52 country-years nested in 35 countries, with repeated observations from 17 countries. We find individuals engage more frequently in health promoting behaviors in countries with higher levels of economic development. Moreover, we find a tighter connection between health lifestyles and health in countries with higher levels of economic development. Critically, we move health lifestyles research forward by testing the consequences of within country changes in economic development, finding that growth in economic development increases the engagement of health promoting health behaviors. Policy and theoretical implications are discussed.

Abstract:

Objectives: To find out the role spiritual and existential wellbeing in health promoting lifestyles that are mediated through perceived health status in Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) Patients. Methodology: After obtaining approval (reference #331) from Institutional Review Board of the affiliated university as sample of 257 males and 228 females consecutive CHD patients (age range 18-65 years; M = 47.56, SD = 2.30) meeting the inclusion criteria were recruited in the study. Patients who suffered from strokes or other chronic diseases like hypothyroidism, cancer, liver or renal malfunctioning were excluded from the study. Participants were requested to complete three scales (and a demographic form) that included Spiritual Wellbeing Scale (SWBS), Short Form 12 Health Survey (SF-12HS), and Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II (HPLP-II). Data was collected from outdoor patients at a public hospital in Lahore, Pakistan between November 5 and March 31, 2021-22, and correlations were run across constructs using a macro-process (version 3.3) in SPSS (version 26.0). Results: Results indicated that spiritual (religious and existential) wellbeing had a significant direct effect on health promoting lifestyles significant at p < 0.001. Further, results showed a significant direct and indirect path coefficients of physical and mental health components of perceived health status with spiritual, religious, existential wellbeing, and health promoting lifestyles but not for physical functioning and bodily pain, p >0.05. Conclusion: Spirituality and positive health perceptions for cardiac patients can maintain their health through engaging in healthy lifestyles. Study highlighted the importance of adopting such perceptions to relieve cardiac symptoms to avoid further complications.

Abstract:

People with disabilities are more susceptible to compromised health status and preventable secondary conditions. A Healthy Lifestyles curriculum was developed as a health promotion program for people with disabilities. Using the curriculum, ten free 2½-day workshops were provided for people with various disabilities in Oregon and Southwest Washington. Workshops were conducted in collaboration with local entities such as Centers for Independent Living. The workshops took an integrated approach to health, addressing connections among physical, social, emotional, and spiritual health, and health through meaningful activities. During workshops, the participants obtained health information and experienced healthy activities such as yoga and non-impact aerobics, both tailored for people with disabilities. At the end of the workshop, each participant identified two healthy lifestyle goals to work toward. Progress and/or barriers in accomplishing those goals were shared in support groups for 6-9 months. Preliminary results indicate early and sustained improvements in health behaviors and health-related attitudes. The Healthy Lifestyles program offers a promising approach to promoting health among people with disabilities.

Abstract:

Abstract Maintaining cognitive function in later life is key to healthy aging because cognitive impairments compromise everyday functional abilities, impeding independent living. Numerous studies have discovered early life experiences and lifestyle behaviors over the lifespan to have substantial influences on cognitive functioning with age. Especially, subtle brain changes related to dementia occur as early as midlife, and lifestyle factors in midlife influence neuropathological development, suggesting that midlife is a critical period for preserving cognitive health in later life. This study investigated the association between lifestyle behaviors in midlife and cognitive performance in later life using 12-year follow-up data from the Korean Longitudinal Study on Aging (KLoSA). Cognitive function was assessed with the Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol (HCAP) for KLoSA. Eight thousand respondents from the KLoSA sample were administered HCAP neuropsychological tests. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were used to examine whether health-promoting lifestyles at baseline (2006) predicted cognitive function in 2018 after controlling for health-related covariates. We identified a positive influence of health-protective behaviors (non-smoking, moderate drinking, regular exercise, weight management, and health screening) at baseline on language abilities in 2018 (β = .05, p < .05). In addition, health-promoting behaviors covering interpersonal relationships, social engagement, optimistic outlook, and positive attitudes at baseline were predictive of language abilities (β = .08, p < .01), executive function (β = .06, p < .01), and the visuospatial ability (β = .06, p < .05) in 2018. This study highlights the importance of midlife health-promoting lifestyles in maintaining cognitive health in later life.

Abstract:

Background: The number of Japanese expatriates has increased, many of whom undertake lifestyle changes to improve their health. Purpose: We aim to clarify the health-promoting lifestyles of middle and older age Japanese expatriates. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. Participants comprised 95 long-term Japanese expatriates residing in popular destinations: the Philippines and Thailand. Health behavior was evaluated using a Japanese version of Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II and participants were compared with a group living in Japan. Multiple linear regression analyses were used to examine the factors that correlate with the score of physical activity, a Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II subscale. Results: The expatriates had significantly higher scores of physical activity and nutrition than the group living in Japan. Factors positively related to physical activity were communicative literacy, information on health management before leaving Japan, no history of hypertension, and sufficient English proficiency. Conclusion: The Japanese expatriates we studied were physically active and were careful about nutrition. To further increase their physical activity, better access to health information and enhancement of communicative literacy and of English proficiency are desired.

Abstract:

Background Health promoting lifestyle is an important influencing factor of individual health status. This study aims to assess the health promoting lifestyle of community residents in China, and explore its association with their health management intention and behaviors during the integrated healthcare system reform. Methods A total of 666 residents were recruited from six county level hospitals and 12 community health centers from July to August 2019 in Zhejiang Province, China. Health promoting lifestyle was measured by the Chinese version Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II scale (HPLP-II). Results The average total score of HPLP-II among our sample was 130.02±23.19. Among the six domains, interpersonal relationship had the highest average score (2.68±0.50), and physical activity scored the lowest (2.21±0.59). Total score of HPLP-II scale was negatively associated with being male (β = -0.13, p<0.01; Ref: female), positively associated with being students (β = 0.15, p<0.01; Ref: self-employed), and positively associated with a monthly per capita income of more than 8000 RMB (β = 0.15, p<0.01; Ref: less than 3000 RMB). The domain scores of HPLP-II were significantly correlated with residents’ health management intention and their behavior on following doctors’ advice or not. Conclusions The health promoting lifestyles of community residents in China are at moderate levels. Improving residents’ healthy lifestyle levels might be helpful for changing their health management intentions or behaviors.

Abstract Introduction: Health-promoting behaviors have considerable effects on improving life quality and decreasing healthcare expenses. This study aimed to determine the status of health-promoting behaviors and its subscales, as well as its relationship with self-efficacy and some socio-demographic characteristics in adolescent Iranian girls. Materials and methods: The participants in this study were 750 adolescent girls aged 14–18 years, living in the city of Sanandaj, Iran in 2013. Samples were selected randomly. Questionnaires used in the study were the “Adolescent Healthy Lifestyle” and “Sherer General Self-efficacy” questionnaires. Multivariate linear regresion analysis was used to determine predictors of health-promoting lifestyle. Results: Mean total score of health-promoting lifestyles in adolescent girls was 3.51 (SD 0.55) and its observed scores ranged from 1 to 5. The highest and lowest mean scores were obtained for life appreciation and physical activity subscales, respectively. Self-efficacy had significant positive correlation with the total health-promoting lifestyle scores and all its subscales. The variables of self-efficacy, current disease, mother’s education, mother’s occupation, and sufficiency of income for expenses remained in the multivariate linear regresion model and were able to explain 21% of the observed variance of the total score for health-promoting lifestyle. Conclusion: The findings show that adolescents “sometimes” or “often” show health-promoting behaviors. In addition to self-efficacy as the main predictor, some of the socio-demographic characteristics are also among the predictors of health behaviors. With consideration of adolescence years as a foundation for one’s future life, it is necessary to provide strategies to encourage a health-promoting lifestyle in adolescents.

Abstract:

Menopause is a critical period in a woman's life that not only marks the end of reproductive ability, but it also associated with multiple physical, vasomotor, psychological, and sexual complaints Many of the serious complications that women face during menopause are caused by their own poor lifestyles and their lack of knowledge about self-care. The objective of this study was to assess knowledge and health promoting behavior at menopause among perimenopausal female teachers in Dawadmi City. The study applied cross sectional descriptive design with stratified random sampling used to obtain (348) female teachers statistically calculated from the total 3,708 teachers. A structured closed ended questionnaire was used to collect data consisting of three parts: demographic information, questions to assess knowledge of female teachers about the pre-menopausal symptoms and The Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II to measures health-promoting behaviors. 58.9% of the subjects had poor knowledge, 30.7% had moderate knowledge and only 10.3% of teachers had Good and Excellent knowledge levels. Total mean score related to Health Promoting Behaviors was 130.05 ± 27.555 which considered medium in general. In general, socio-demographic variable of female teachers did not show significant correlations by using Pearson Chi-Square test and ANOVA test, also, did not show significant correlations for total knowledge level. Total Behaviors level, which also showed significant correlation with age (F = 1.358, p = .028) and weight during last year (F = 1.303, p = .049) categories. In conclusion, iidentifying the knowledge of women about menopause has an essential role in the development of women’s health during menopausal years. Results suggest that participants do not consistently include health-promoting behaviors into their lifestyle, especially physical activity. Therefore, certain policies should be designed and conducted to promote health behavior. Develop a process to promote worksite wellness programs, and to support behavioral changes intended to promote healthy lifestyles.

Abstract:

The paper presents the results to the preliminary validation of the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP-II; Walker, et al., 1987, 1996) on the Russian sample. 443 participants from Saint Petersburg, aged from 17 to 65, were involved in the study (136 males; 307 females). HPLP II showed high internal consistency in the whole sample (Cronbach’s α=0,888) and in age and gender subgroups (Cronbach’s α ranged from .850 to .898). In order to test the convergent validity of the questionnaire, we used: scales from the questionnaire of a healthy lifestyle, Big Five Personality Test, Ryff’s Psychological Well-being Scales, SF-36 Short Form Health Survey, Type of Attitude to the Disease questionnaire. The resulting correlations confirm the convergent validity of the profile. The HPLP II had satisfactory preliminary psychometric properties. It can be used to assess the health-promoting lifestyles on a Russian sample.

Abstract:

IntroductionMental health issues and illnesses are associated with poor self-care and unhealthy lifestyles that contribute to morbidity, mortality and overall decrease in quality of life when compared to the general population. Healthy lifestyle promotion is infrequently considered a priority in mental healthcare services, especially in acute psychiatric inpatient units.ObjectivesTo present a healthy lifestyles promotion programme implemented in an acute psychiatric inpatient unit.AimsTo reflect on how to design an adequate programme for patients with complex needs.MethodsIn a general psychiatric inpatient unit, a team of two psychologists and one psychiatrist, ventured to introduce weekly activities that included drawing, colouring, painting, crafts and games, that provided a context for patients and the team to sit down together or to gradually “drift” together and make possible conversations focusing on tobacco smoking, caffeine consumption, weight control, physical activity and health promoting activities.ResultsInstead of individual or group psychoeducation talk interventions, play and art strategies, in closer proximity with the patients, made it far easier to engage difficult patients and made psychoeducation possible and fun.ConclusionsPatients with severe mental illness are frequently reluctant to engage in activities targeting healthy lifestyles, especially in acute psychiatric inpatient units, when insight and motivation for change may be low due to illness and consequences of illness. Play and art therapy interventions led by a team of mental healthcare professionals who participate directly with the patients, may be an innovative, more effective and enjoyable strategy.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between a health-promoting lifestyle and quality of life in parents of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Participants were 254 South Korean parents of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We assessed participants using a quality of life scale and the Korean version of the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II (HPLP-II). The data were analysed using Pearson and Spearman rank correlation analysis, and linear regression was conducted using SPSS ver. 25.0. The results indicated statistically significant associations between health-promoting lifestyles and quality of life in parents of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Analysis showed that the HPLP-II subfactors of spiritual growth, health responsibility, exercise, nutrition, interpersonal relations, and stress management could significantly predict quality of life in parents of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Healthcare providers should help to improve the quality of life of parents of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities by facilitating health-promoting lifestyle behaviours through interventions designed to increase physical activity, nutrition, stress management, interpersonal relations, health responsibility, and spiritual growth.

Abstract:

Background: Call center employees experience high levels of occupational stress and other mental health issues. This study aimed to examine the relationship between mental health status and health-promoting lifestyles among call center employees.Methods: A secondary data analysis from a descriptive cross-sectional study of 302 call center employees was conducted. Call center employees were asked to complete the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) and the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II (HPLP-II).Results: Participants’ overall DASS score was 23.87±13.98 out of 63. Among the six subscales of the HPLP-II, participants’ highest scores were for interpersonal relations, spiritual growth, and stress management, whereas physical activity had the lowest score. Participants with a severe level of mental health issues (i.e., depression, anxiety, and stress) reported lower levels of health-promoting lifestyle behaviors, especially in the areas of physical activity, spiritual growth, interpersonal relationships, and stress management.Conclusions: As call center service sectors increase in modern industries, so does the need to address the physical and mental health needs of its employees. Healthcare providers and organizations should closely and routinely monitor employee’s levels of depression, anxiety, and stress and develop organizational and health-related policies for the call center sector. Additionally, the development and implementation of health-related interventions to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors is critical for call center employees.

Abstract:

This study attempts to characterize health lifestyles by subgrouping women with similar behavior patterns. Data on background, health behaviors, and perceptions were collected via phone interview from 1,075 Israeli women aged 50 to 74. From a cluster analysis conducted on health behaviors, three clusters emerged: a “health promoting” cluster (44.1%), women adhering to recommended behaviors; an “inactive” cluster (40.3%), women engaging in neither health-promoting nor compromising behaviors; and an “ambivalent” cluster (15.4%), women engaging somewhat in both health-promoting and compromising behaviors. Clustering was cross-tabulated by demographic and perceptual variables, further validating the subgrouping. The cluster solution was also validated by predicting another health behavior (mammography screening) for which there was an external validating source. Findings are discussed in comparison to published cluster solutions, culminating in suggestions for intervention alternatives. The concept of lifestyle was deemed appropriate to summarize the clustering of these behavioral, perceptual, and structural variables.

Abstract:

e24037 Background: To further integrate health promotion into cancer survivorship care, we explored multilevel perspectives on potential roles healthcare providers could have in promoting uptake of web-based healthy lifestyle programs among cancer survivors. Methods: In developing the Aim, Plan, and Act on Lifestyles (AMPLIFY) Survivor Health diet and exercise web-based program, we conducted 10 focus groups with 57 cancer survivors and 27 individual semi-structured interviews with stakeholders representing advocacy groups (e.g., cancer survivorship support foundations; n = 8), cancer organizations (e.g., industry, health system; n = 11), and survivors’ supportive partners (n = 8). Verbatim transcripts were analyzed by multiple coders using inductive thematic analysis with NVivo 12. Results: Survivors (49% female; 40% African-American, mean age 63.7 years) and stakeholders (60% female) stated that healthcare provider and health system recommendation and support are vital for ensuring acceptance and use of web-based healthy lifestyle programs by cancer survivors. Survivors expressed that physician’s (e.g., oncologist, other physician) recommendation and support would motivate them to join and participate. Supportive partners also endorsed the importance of provider recommendations and the key role of health system support (e.g., reminders in doctor’s office, hospitals, web-based portal, and endorsement from cancer centers). Advocacy group representatives underscored the importance of data-driven support for the effects of such programs as critical for promotion. Moreover, technology supported continuous cancer care (e.g., physician communication and feedback) were seen as critical for sustained participation. Stakeholders from cancer organizations suggested survivors in need could be identified and referred during assessments in various cancer care clinics. This group also emphasized the need to integrate evidence-based healthy lifestyle recommendations into continuing medical education, medical board certifications, support and referrals into existing standard of cancer care, and to involve other key stakeholders and larger scale health systems in promotion. Conclusions: Healthcare providers and health systems have important roles in promoting and sustaining participation in web-based healthy lifestyle programs among cancer survivors. Further work developing, testing, and refining strategies to enhance their role in promoting the acceptability and uptake of healthy lifestyle programs by cancer survivors are needed.

The purpose of this descriptive and cross-sectional study was to find out how healthy students' lifestyles were and 320 students (85.33%) formed the sample. Instruments used were: a questionnaire prepared by the researchers, the Health Promoting Lifestyles Profile (HPLP; Walker, Sechrist, & Pender, 1987), the Ways of Coping with Stressful Life Events List (WCCL; Aysan, 1988, 1994), and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI; Hisli, 1988; Sahin, 1989; Teğin, 1980). SPSS was used for data analysis. The students' HPLP mean total score was averaged with the highest subscale score for self-actualization and the lowest for exercise. Mean scores on the WCLL for the problem focused and seeks social support subscales were lower than blamed self, wishful thinking, and avoidance mean scores. The mean score gained on the Beck Depression Inventory was 14.31 (SD = 11.06). Results suggest that these students do not have enough information about maintaining a healthy lifestyle and were not using effective methods for coping with stress; and 40% of them were depressed.

Abstract:

Our work brings together theories and methodologies from public health and the learning sciences to develop a culturally relevant community-based intervention aimed at promoting healthy childhood development. We present our approach to personalising a community-based family intervention to prevent childhood obesity that aims to enhance participants’ agency. We argue that situating obesity within the individual’s multi-layered context not only provides a more robust understanding of the causes, but also generates sustainable options for promoting healthy lifestyles. Our findings emphasise the importance of a situated approach to learning that leverages social systems as a key resource for better navigating the environmental, material and ideational infrastructures that support healthy lifestyles.

This study explored approaches to promoting active lifestyles (PAL) in schools which aimed to inform and develop physical education (PE) trainees and teachers’ health-related philosophies and pedagogies. Thirty-two secondary school PE trainees and teachers involved in a University-based Initial Teacher Education partnership in England participated in this study during the period 2015–2019. The participants were involved in professional development which included an introduction to research-informed PAL ‘paradoxes’ associated with promoting active lifestyles. Participants were asked to review their own health-related philosophies and practices in light of these paradoxes and were encouraged to use them to influence their own pedagogies as well as those of colleagues/peers. Participants found the PAL paradoxes interesting, surprising and perplexing; expressed a keen desire to address and solve them; and experienced the joys and challenges of influencing colleagues’/peers’ health-related philosophies and pedagogies. The findings suggest that this innovative low-cost, flexible and accessible approach to pedagogical change has the potential to engage PE teachers, increase their effectiveness as promoters of physical activity, and to greatly enhance the subject’s contribution to public health. This is significant, given calls for new pedagogical approaches and teachers’ previously reported lack of engagement in professional development in this area.

Abstract:

IntroductionPreventative interventions are shown to be effective in reducing 40% of the mortality due to unhealthy behaviours and lifestyles. Health-promoting self-care has been recognised as a promising strategy in preventative health. However, self-care research is being done around the self-management of chronic illnesses and the promotion of self-care practices among healthy populations has been overlooked by many healthcare systems.MethodThe study methodology was a systematic review with a narrative synthesis. The search was done through seven academic databases, reference tracking of selected articles and grey literature. The scoping, selection, screening and quality assessments of the articles were reviewed independently by two reviewers.ResultsSixteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Self-care behaviour, health-promotive lifestyle changes and medical care utilisation were some of the main outcomes evaluated in the studies. Positive effects were seen in increasing self-care and health-promotive behaviours in most interventions although limited or mixed impact was seen in health attitudes, beliefs and utilisation of medical services. Most studies were from high income settings with low-quality study designs. The complexity of the word ‘self-care’ and inconsistencies in the terminology used in health-promotive self-care were significant highlights of the study.ConclusionHealth-promoting preventative self-care interventions show promise in increasing the well-being of healthy people. However, the methodological drawbacks limit the generalisability of the findings. As the demand for self-care interventions increases, the lack of a formal globally accepted definition and framework and complexity of behaviour change are key limitations to consider moving forward.
