African American men have poorer health and higher disease-related mortality as compared to non-African American men. John Henryism refers to the predisposition to engage in active high-effort coping with environmental stressors. Little is known about relationships between John Henryism and personal health behaviors in African American men. The study purposes were to examine predictive relationships among John Henryism, marital status, age, education years, and health insurance on health behaviors in African American men.
Cross-sectional descriptive study.
The convenience sample included 60 African American men (mean age 54.8 + 10.13) recruited from a large urban area in the Midwestern United States.
John Henryism significantly predicted self-reported health behaviors accounting for 12% of the multiple regression model variance.
Findings provide early evidence to consider in the design of interventions aimed at promoting healthy behaviors in African American men.
与非非洲裔美国男性相比,非洲裔美国男性的健康状况较差,与疾病相关的死亡率更高。约翰·亨利主义是指积极应对环境压力源的倾向。关于约翰·亨利主义与非裔美国男性个人健康行为之间的关系知之甚少。本研究旨在探讨约翰·亨利主义、婚姻状况、年龄、受教育年限和健康保险与非裔美国男性健康行为之间的预测关系。
横断面描述性研究。
方便样本包括从美国中西部一个大城市招募的 60 名非裔美国男性(平均年龄 54.8+10.13)。
约翰·亨利主义显著预测了自我报告的健康行为,占多元回归模型方差的 12%。
研究结果提供了早期证据,可供设计旨在促进非裔美国男性健康行为的干预措施时参考。
