To examine health promotion behaviors and barriers to health promotion in traditional and nontraditional nursing students in an associate degree nursing program in the northeastern United States.
Nursing students are exposed to concepts of health promotion in the nursing curriculum, but do not necessarily apply them to their own lives. Examining the variables affecting the health behaviors of nursing students may provide the information required to motivate lifestyle changes in this population.
A cross-sectional descriptive design was used to examine the relationship between study variables.
Nontraditional nursing students participate in health promoting behaviors less often than traditional nursing students and experience more barriers to health promotion.
Implementation of health promotion programs targeting nontraditional students may lead to improved health among these individuals, which may result in increased success in nursing programs.
在美国东北部一个护理学副学士学位项目中，研究传统与非传统护理专业学生的健康促进行为以及健康促进的障碍因素。
护理专业学生在护理课程中接触到健康促进的概念，但不一定会将其应用到自己的生活中。研究影响护理专业学生健康行为的变量，可能会为促使这一群体改变生活方式提供所需信息。
采用横断面描述性设计来研究各研究变量之间的关系。
非传统护理专业学生比传统护理专业学生更少参与健康促进行为，且在健康促进方面面临更多障碍。
针对非传统学生实施健康促进项目可能会改善这些人的健康状况，进而可能提高护理项目的成功率。
