The purpose of this study was to determine and understand the predicting factors of a health-promoting lifestyle (HPL) in Southeast Asian women in Taiwan. One hundred and five Southeast Asian women in Tainan were recruited. Face-to-face interviews with structured questionnaires were used for data collection. The findings showed that, among the six dimensions of HPL, subjects scored highest in self-actualization and lowest in health responsibility. Subjects who could read and write Chinese had a more positive HPL; stepwise regression analysis revealed that the ability to read Chinese could explain 26.2% of the total variance of HPL in Southeast Asian women. The results of this study can help health care professionals understand the HPL and to design appropriate health-promoting educational programs to improve the well-being and overall quality of life of Southeast Asian women in Taiwan.
本研究的目的是确定并了解台湾东南亚裔女性健康促进生活方式(HPL)的预测因素。招募了台南的105名东南亚裔女性。通过面对面访谈和结构化问卷进行数据收集。研究结果显示,在HPL的六个维度中,受试者在自我实现方面得分最高,在健康责任方面得分最低。能够读写中文的受试者具有更积极的HPL;逐步回归分析表明,中文阅读能力可以解释东南亚裔女性HPL总方差的26.2%。本研究结果有助于医护人员了解HPL,并设计适当的健康促进教育项目,以改善台湾东南亚裔女性的幸福感和整体生活质量。
