Health-promoting self-care behavior emphasizing positive lifestyle practices may improve the health and quality of life of adults. One variable that may influence health-related decisions is the status of basic needs as described by Maslow. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among basic need satisfaction, health-promoting self-care behavior, and selected demographic variables in a sample of community-dwelling adults. A convenience sample of 84 community-dwelling adults was recruited to complete the Basic Need Satisfaction Inventory, the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II, and demographic information. Results of the study indicated that self-actualization, physical, and love/belonging need satisfaction accounted for 64% of the variance in health-promoting self-care behavior. The findings of this study are consistent with Maslow's theory of human motivation and suggest that persons who are more fulfilled and content with themselves and their lives, have physical need satisfaction, and have positive connections with others may be able to make better decisions regarding positive health-promoting self-care behaviors.
强调积极生活方式的健康促进自我护理行为可能会改善成年人的健康和生活质量。一个可能影响与健康相关决策的变量是马斯洛所描述的基本需求状况。本研究的目的是调查社区居住成年人样本中基本需求满意度、健康促进自我护理行为和选定人口统计学变量之间的关系。招募了84名社区居住成年人的便利样本，以完成基本需求满意度量表、健康促进生活方式概况II和人口统计学信息。研究结果表明，自我实现、生理和爱/归属需求满意度占健康促进自我护理行为方差的64%。本研究结果与马斯洛的人类动机理论一致，表明那些对自己和生活更有成就感和满足感、生理需求得到满足且与他人有积极联系的人，可能能够就积极的健康促进自我护理行为做出更好的决策。
