Relationship between eHealth Literacy and Health Promoting behaviors among nursing students

Background: Utilizing health literacy is important in establishing knowledgeable health advancements and practices, which can become deterrents to promoting a healthy lifestyle. Technological advancements improve health information availability and accessibility that potentially affect the users’ proficiency and their capability in applying the accessed health information. However, accessing health information via IT for health promotion requires e-health literacy. Purpose: The objective of the study is to determine the relationship between eHealth literacy and health-promoting lifestyle behaviors among nursing students. Methods: Descriptive-correlational study was applied to 131 nursing students recruited through a purposive sampling method from a nursing school in Philippines. The researchers adopted original English version of the e-Health Literacy Scale and Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP) to collect the data. The gathered data were analyzed using descriptive analysis; frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and test the correlation using Pearson's r correlation. Results: A total of 131 nursing students were employed in the study with a mean age of 20.14 (±1.22). Participants were female (71.8%) and are Level 1 students (44.3%) The mean of the total sum score for eHealth literacy was 31.24 (±4.30) while the over-all item mean was 3.92 (±0.54). On the other hand, the health-promoting behavior has a mean score of 2.43 (±0.43) while its subscales have a mean score of 2.46 (±0.45) for nutrition, 2.45 (±0.62) for physical activity, and 2.39 (±0.47) for health responsibility. It was found that eHealth literacy had a significant relationship with the students’ health-promoting behavior (r=0.245, p=0.005). Hence, students who have a high level of eHealth literacy are more inclined to perform healthy behaviors. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the development of strategies to improve the e-health literacy of nursing students may contribute to the maintenance of their health-promoting behaviors. Identified intervention strategies based on eHealth literacy are needed to encourage healthy practices, which may reduce risks of illnesses due to unhealthy lifestyle behaviors among nursing students.

Factors associated with workplace stress and health promotion behaviours among Chinese emergency nurses: A cross-sectional study.

To explore and describe workplace stress levels and health-promoting behaviours reported by emergency nurses in China, and to investigate factors associated with workplace stress and health-promoting lifestyle behaviours among emergency nurses. A cross-sectional study was conducted between October 2019 and January 2020. Nurses (n = 1565) were recruited from the emergency departments of 54 hospitals within the Sichuan Province of West China. Each subject completed the Chinese versions of the Nurse Workplace Stress Scale, the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP-II) and demographic questions. Linear regression analyses were used to identify associations between workplace stress and the health-promoting lifestyle and risk factors correlated with these two measurements. Workplace stress was negatively associated with health-promoting behaviours. Linear regression analysis showed that gender, marital status, whether wages met expected standards and professional rank were found to be associated with health promotion behaviours; marital status, whether income met expected standards, the number of night shifts per month and health promotion behaviours were found to be associated with workplace stress. Higher levels of workplace stress are associated with lower levels of engagement in health-promoting behaviours, suggesting the potential for reducing workplace stress through the adoption of healthier habits. Policies should prioritize workplace stress by promoting healthy lifestyle initiatives.

Psychological distress, health-promoting lifestyle and sociodemographic factors in Honduran university students: a structural equation model.

This study sought to analyze an explanatory model on the relationship among sociodemographic factors, health-promoting lifestyle behaviors and psychological distress (depression, anxiety and stress) in college students. This is an observational, analytical and cross-sectional study conducted on a national sample of 4203 students who entered a macro university in Honduras in 2021, 2022 and 2023. We used a sociodemographic survey, the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP-II) and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS-21). Univariate analysis and a multivariate structural equation model were conducted. The average HPLP-II score was 117.45 (± 23.41), and the average DASS-21 score was 20.06 (± 14.16). The multivariate model showed a good data fit (comparative fit index = 0.951; Tucker-Lewis index = 0.957; root mean square error of approximation = 0.067 [90% CI = 0.067-0.068]). Results indicate that being a woman (β = 0.11; p < 0.001) and being enrolled in biological and health sciences (β = 0.09; p < 0.001) significantly predict HPLP-II scores. Furthermore, being a woman (β = 0.17; p < 0.001), age (β = 0.10; p < 0.001) and having pre-existing medical conditions (β = 0.16; p < 0.001) significantly explain part of the variance of DASS-21. A significant reverse relationship between health-promoting behavior and psychological distress was shown (r = -0.36; p < 0.001). This study identifies protective and risky sociodemographic factors linked to health-promoting lifestyle behaviors and psychological distress. Our findings have implications for developing comprehensive intervention policies and strategies to promote health in higher education settings.

The key determinants of low back pain among lifestyle behaviors in adolescents: A cross-sectional study from Saudi Arabia.

Establishing preventive measures and treatment strategies for adolescents with low back pain (LBP) may be greatly enhanced by fully grasping the complex interaction between LBP and lifestyle behaviors. The key objective of this study was to explore the possible associations between lifestyle behaviors and LBP among adolescents in Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional study was conducted among high school students from 5 major regions in Saudi Arabia. Participants were enlisted for the research project between May and November 2021. To evaluate the presence/severity of LBP, physical activity, sedentary duration, sleep quality, nutrition, health responsibility, interpersonal relationships, spiritual growth, and stress management, a well-established web-based survey was employed. A total of 2000 students participated, with 57.9% reporting LBP. Students with LBP had lower scores on overall health-promoting lifestyle behaviors and all subscales, including physical activity, compared to those without LBP. Linear regression analysis revealed significant associations between sedentary duration and global sleep quality with pain severity among students with LBP. This study highlights the association between lifestyle behaviors and LBP among adolescents in Saudi Arabia. Promoting physical activity, reducing sedentary behavior, and improving sleep quality may be crucial in preventing and managing LBP in this population. Comprehensive strategies targeting lifestyle behaviors should be implemented to improve the well-being of adolescents and reduce the burden of LBP. Further research is needed to better understand the underlying mechanisms and develop effective preventive and treatment strategies for LBP among adolescents.

Health Promoting Lifestyle Behaviors and Associated Factors among Sohag University Students

Determinants of health-promoting behaviors in pregnant women.

The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between social support, marital dissatisfaction, psychological factors, and health-promoting behaviors in pregnant women. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 1,265 pregnant women who visited the outpatient clinic of a maternity hospital between May and August 2023. The Health Promotion Lifestyle-II Questionnaire was used to measure the healthy lifestyle behaviors of pregnant women. The mental health status of pregnant women was measured using the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale-21. The Marital Disaffection Scale was used to assess the level of disaffection toward a spouse. Perceived social support was measured by the Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale. Pregnant women had a mean age of 26.46±5.09 years. Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that there was a positive association between perceived social support and health-promoting behaviors. It was also found that marital disaffection was negatively associated with health-promoting behaviors (p<0.001). The present study suggests that stress, anxiety, depression, and marital disaffection are negatively associated with health-promoting lifestyle behaviors, while social support is positively associated with the adoption of health practices in pregnant women. Understanding the complex interplay between psychosocial factors and healthy behaviors is crucial to improving healthy behaviors in pregnant women.

Circadian rhythms and sleep quality among undergraduate students in China: The mediating role of health-promoting lifestyle behaviours

BackgroundPoor sleep quality have become one of the most pressing public health problems for undergraduate students. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the relationship between circadian rhythms and sleep quality and the meditating role of health-promoting lifestyles in the relationship of Chinese undergraduate students. MethodsA total of 3423 students participated. The online survey consisted of the reduced Morningness-Evening Questionnaire (rMEQ), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile–II (HPLP–II). Logistic regression models were employed. ResultsThe prevalence of poor sleep quality is 43.03 %. The total mean scores of HPLP – II, PSQI, and rMEQ are 96.94 ± 17.26, 5.20 ± 2.70 and 14.83 ± 2.10, respectively. A significant negative correlation exists between the rMEQ and PSQI scores (r = −0.262, p < 0.001), but a positive correlation exists between the rMEQ and HPLP scores (r = 0.232, p < 0.001). The total and sub-domain scores of HPLP are also negatively correlated with the PSQI scores (r = −[0.166, 0.291], p < 0.001). Mediation analysis demonstrates the mediation of HPLP (indirect effect = −0.036, p < 0.001) on the effect of the rMEQ on PSQI scores that accounts for 13.30 % of the total effect. LimitationsCross-sectional design and recall bias in data collection. ConclusionsThe effect of circadian rhythm on sleep quality is partially mediated by the health-promoting lifestyle. In addition to maintaining a normal circadian rhythm, helping undergraduate students develop a healthy lifestyle is also an effective measure to improve sleep quality.

Exploration of the midwifery students' health-promoting lifestyle behaviors according to their body mass indexes and body perceptions

The present study aims to examine the health-promoting lifestyle behaviors of midwifery students according to their body mass indexes and body perceptions. This cross-sectional study was conducted with 239 midwifery students at a state university between May and June 2023. Research data were collected using the personal information form, Body Cathexis-Self Cathexis Scale (BC-SCS), and Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP). It was determined that the differences between the HPLP and the subscales of interpersonal support, nutrition, and self-actualization were statistically significant according to the students' body perceptions (p&lt;0.05). Students who perceived themselves as slim have higher HPLP and self-actualization mean scores than those who perceived themselves as fat, and it was determined that they have a higher nutrition mean score than those who perceived them as having normal weight. It was determined that the Interpersonal Support mean score of those who perceived themselves as fat was lower. When the mean scores of the students from the HPLP were compared according to their BMI, it was determined that the differences between HPLP and the subscales of interpersonal support, health responsibility, stress management, and self-actualization are statistically significant (p&lt;0.05). According to the research, it is seen that the distribution of healthy lifestyles differs between the body perceptions of midwifery students and their Body Mass Indexes (BMI).

The barriers and facilitators to health-promoting lifestyle behaviors among people with multiple sclerosis during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic: a content analysis study

Background and aimHealth-promoting lifestyle behaviors (HPLBs) have a significant impact on disease management among people with multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly affected lifestyle of all individuals, particularly patients with chronic diseases. The present study aimed to explore the barriers and facilitators to HPLBs among people with MS during the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsThis qualitative study was conducted in Iran. Participants were sixteen people with MS purposively selected from the central MS clinic of a referral specialty neuroscience hospital in Tehran, Iran. Data were collected via in-depth semi-structured face-to-face interviews and concurrently analyzed through conventional content analysis.Findings: The mean of participants’ age was 37.93 years and most participants were female (81.25%). The major barriers to HPLBs were lack of knowledge, limited access to resources, and poor health status, while the major facilitators were attention to inner abilities and social support.ConclusionMany different factors such as lack of knowledge, limited access to resources, poor health status, awareness, and social support can influence engagement in HPLBs among people with MS. Healthcare authorities and policymakers need to use quality educational and supportive interventions to improve knowledge, health literacy, perceived support, self-efficacy, and self-care ability among people with MS during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Health-Promoting Lifestyle of Breast Cancer Patients and Family Members in a Chinese Genetic Counseling Clinic: A Cross-Sectional Study

Background: Risk management strategies play a significant role in genetic counseling, which involves lifestyle modification with respect to nutrition and unhealthy living habits, enhanced screening imaging, endocrine therapy, and following the physician’s advice etc. This study aimed to describe the health-promoting lifestyle of breast cancer patients and their family members in a Chinese genetic counseling clinic, and to explore its various levels encompassing different socio-economic variables. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. The participants in this study originated from a genetic counseling clinic of a cancer center in Shanghai, China. Two hundred and fifty nine patients conforming to the inclusion and exclusion criteria were screened from November 2019 to March 2022. Participants agreeing to participate were sent a questionnaire web-link with an invitation to finish this survey. Two questionnaires were included in the link, one referring to socio-economic information and the other referring to the health-promoting lifestyle. Chinese Health-promoting lifestyle profile-Ⅱ (HPLP-Ⅱ) was used to evaluate the health-promoting lifestyle. Results: One hundred and forty participants were finally included in this study. The mean scores for health-promoting lifestyle was 141.22 ± 19.77, and multiple liner regression revealed monthly family income to be a statistically significant predictor of health-promoting lifestyle (p &lt; 0.05). In the six subscales, health responsibility got the highest score (26.43 ± 4.40), and nutrition received the lowest score (17.81 ± 4.73). Self-actualization was 25.84 ± 4.19, physical activity 24.02 ± 4.97, interpersonal relationship 22.21 ± 4.42, and stress management 24.91 ± 4.39. Conclusions: A representative level of health-promoting lifestyle of breast cancer patients and family members in a Chinese genetic counseling clinic were acquired. More education and intervention should be tailored to enhance and encourage health-promoting lifestyle behaviors in participants with low monthly family income. Additionally, developing nutritional curriculum and strengthening the publicity of nutritional popular science are priorities for future improvement measures.

Health-Promoting Lifestyle Behaviors of Korean American Breast Cancer Survivors: Adherence to the American Cancer Society Guidelines.

Breast cancer incidence has been increasing in Korean American women. However, there are limited data on Korean American breast cancer survivors' health-promoting lifestyle behaviors. The American Cancer Society (ACS) publishes guidelines on weight, diet, physical activity, and alcohol for cancer survivors. Because of limited data on Korean American breast cancer survivors, their level of adherence to ACS guidelines is unknown. The aim of this study was to examine Korean American breast cancer survivors' level of adherence to ACS guidelines. Korean American breast cancer survivors (N = 50) participated in a cross-sectional study. Diet data including alcohol consumption were collected with 4-day diet records. Physical activity data were collected with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Total score of adherence to ACS guidelines was assessed with a systematic scoring system that ranged from 0 to 8. Participants' average body mass index was 23.7 (±2.7). Average daily serving of fruits and vegetables was 3.3 (±2.9), red meat was 0.8 (±1.5), and alcohol was 0. On average per week, participants had 51.8 (±85.2) minutes of moderate physical activity, 35 (±78.3) minutes of vigorous physical activity, and 69.1 (±73.7) minutes of walking. The average total adherence score to ACS guidelines was 5.3 (±1.3). Findings indicate modest adherence to ACS guidelines, with the alcohol guideline score contributing the most and diet guideline score the least. Findings from this study can be used to inform healthcare providers to educate Korean American breast cancer survivors on improving their diet and physical activity behaviors.

Salutogenic Healthy Ageing Programme Embracement (SHAPE)- an upstream health resource intervention for older adults living alone and with their spouses only: complex intervention development and pilot randomized controlled trial

BackgroundIn view of age-related health concerns and resource vulnerabilities challenging older adults to age in place, upstream health resource interventions can inform older adults about the availability, accessibility, and utility of resources and equip them with better coping behaviours to maintain health and independence. This paper described the development process and evaluated the feasibility of an upstream health resource intervention, titled Salutogenic Healthy Ageing Programme Embracement (SHAPE), for older adults living alone or with spouses only.MethodsA pilot randomised controlled trial design was adopted. SHAPE was designed to equip older adults with resource information and personal conviction to cope with stressors of healthy aging. This 12-week intervention comprised 12 weekly structured group sessions, at least two individual home visits and a resource book. Both the intervention and control groups received usual care provided in the community. Feasibility of SHAPE intervention was evaluated using recruitment rate, intervention adherence, data collection completion rate, satisfaction survey and post-intervention interview. Outcome measures (sense of coherence, health-promoting lifestyle behaviours, quality of life, self-efficacy, and self-rated health) were assessed at baseline and post-intervention. Paired t-tests were used to examine within-group changes in outcome measures. Content analysis was used to analysed qualitative data.ResultsThirty-four participants were recruited and randomised. While recruitment rate was low (8.9%), intervention adherence (93.75%) and data collection completion (100%) were high. Participants expressed high satisfaction towards SHAPE intervention and found it useful. Participants experienced mindset growth towards personal and ageing experiences, and they were more proactive in adopting healthful behaviours. Although the programme was tailored according to needs of older adults, it required refinement. Intention-to-treat analysis showed significant increase in overall health-promoting lifestyle behaviours, health responsibility, physical activity, spiritual growth, and stress management among intervention participants. However, they reported a significant drop in autonomy post-intervention.ConclusionFindings of this pilot trial suggested that with protocol modifications, SHAPE can be a feasible and beneficial health resource intervention for older adults. Modifications on recruitment strategies, eligibility criteria, selection of outcome measures, training of resource facilitators and strong collaboration bonds with community partners would be needed to increase feasibility robustness and scientific rigor of this complex intervention.Trial registrationThis study has been registered with clinicaltrials.gov on 10/05/2017. The trial registration number is NCT03147625.
