Cardiovascular diseases are the first ranked cause of death worldwide. Adhering to health promoting lifestyle behaviors will maintain an individual's cardiovascular health and decrease the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
In this descriptive study, 150 nursing faculty were surveyed via a non-probability (purposive) sampling method to assess their adherence to health promoting lifestyle in order to know the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The Arabic version of Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II) was used to achieve this goal.
Seventy-two nursing faculty completed the survey. The results indicated that the study sample had moderate level of health promotion based on Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II.
Nursing faculty are at risk of developing cardiovascular diseases based on their health promoting lifestyle behaviors as they scored low level of "health responsibility", "physical activity", and "stress management ". Encouraging healthy behaviors is recommended to prevent chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases.
心血管疾病是全球排名第一的死亡原因。坚持促进健康的生活方式行为将维持个人的心血管健康,降低心血管疾病的风险。
在这项描述性研究中,通过非概率(目的)抽样方法对 150 名护理教师进行了调查,以评估他们对促进健康的生活方式的遵守情况,以了解心血管疾病的风险。使用阿拉伯文版健康促进生活方式量表 II(HPLP-II)来实现这一目标。
72 名护理教师完成了调查。结果表明,根据健康促进生活方式量表 II,研究样本具有中等水平的健康促进。
根据护理教师的健康促进生活方式行为,他们有患心血管疾病的风险,因为他们在“健康责任”、“身体活动”和“压力管理”方面的得分较低。建议鼓励健康行为,以预防心血管疾病等慢性病。
