The purpose of this study was to explore health promoting lifestyles and related factors in pregnant women.
This was a descriptive study using convenience sampling. Altogether, 172 pregnant women were recruited from a medical center in southern Taiwan. Personal data was collected, and the instruments used included perceived health status, self-efficacy of health behaviors, perception of family or peers' health-promoting behaviors, and Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP Pi).
The results showed that the standardized total score of health promoting lifestyles was 66.88 (moderate level). The subscales of the HPLP Pi in descending order of standardized scores were as follows: "interpersonal relationships," "health responsibility," "psychological wellness," "nutrition," "stress management" and "physical activity." There were significant differences in the total scores of the HPLP Pi among subjects with different educational level, socioeconomic status, chronic diseases, exercise habits, length of sleep, and perceived health status. Both perception of health-promoting behaviors among family (or peers) and self-efficacy of health behaviors had significantly positive relationships with health-promoting lifestyles. Perception of the family or peers' health-promoting behaviors, self-efficacy of health behaviors, perceived health status and chronic diseases were the four significant predictors of health-promoting lifestyles, accounting for 62.4% of the variance.
The findings of this study could be used as a reference for prenatal care, nursing education, and maternal / neonatal health policies.
本研究旨在探讨孕妇的健康促进生活方式及相关因素。
这是一项采用便利抽样的描述性研究。总共从台湾南部的一家医疗中心招募了172名孕妇。收集了个人数据，所使用的工具包括感知健康状况、健康行为自我效能感、对家人或同伴健康促进行为的认知，以及健康促进生活方式概况（HPLPⅡ）。
结果显示，健康促进生活方式的标准化总分是66.88（中等水平）。HPLPⅡ各分量表标准化得分从高到低依次为：“人际关系”“健康责任”“心理健康”“营养”“压力管理”和“体育活动”。不同教育水平、社会经济地位、慢性病、运动习惯、睡眠时间和感知健康状况的受试者在HPLPⅡ总分上存在显著差异。家人（或同伴）的健康促进行为认知和健康行为自我效能感与健康促进生活方式均呈显著正相关。家人或同伴的健康促进行为认知、健康行为自我效能感、感知健康状况和慢性病是健康促进生活方式的四个显著预测因素，解释了62.4%的变异。
本研究结果可为产前护理、护理教育及母婴健康政策提供参考。
