The aim of this study was to determine hospital clinical staff' health-promoting lifestyle behaviors, and explore associations between nurse demographic factors and lifestyle behaviors.
This cross-sectional investigation focused on the clinical personnel employed at hospitals associated with Baqiyatullah University. A sample of 341 clinical staff of hospitals was collected using convenience sampling. In this study, the questionnaire of Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II) was used to assess health-promoting behaviors.
In the present study, the mean HPLP score was 131 ± 23. The score of health-promoting behaviors was significantly higher in the nursing major ( = 0.029). Also, a difference was found between the major and the subscales of health responsibility ( = 0.000), stress management ( = 0.004), physical activity ( = 0.004) and nutrition ( = 0.001). The score of health responsibility, stress management, physical activity and nutrition subscales was higher in nursing. There was a significant relationship between education and stress management ( = 0.033) and physical activity subscales ( = 0.001). The physical activity score was also higher in individuals with master's and doctoral degrees, and the stress management score was higher in participants with master's degrees. Based on the findings presented herein, age ( = 0.001) and gender ( = 0.016) were associated with the nutrition subscale, and the nutrition score was higher in the age group of over 30 years and in women. Additionally, a significant relationship was observed between marriage and the subscales of spiritual growth ( = 0.013) and nutrition ( = 0.024), and the score of spiritual growth, and nutrition was higher in married people. There was a significant relationship between job and health responsibility ( = 0.013) and nutrition ( = 0.022), and the score of health responsibility and nutrition score was found to be higher in nurses.
Health-promoting behaviors of hospital employees are at an average level and are related to the educational levels of the employees, so these behaviors are more in nurses, while this relationship was not present in physicians. These findings may be helpful in providing recommendations for developing healthy lifestyle programs for clinical staff aimed at promoting health behaviors.
本研究旨在确定医院临床工作人员的健康促进生活方式行为，并探讨护士人口统计学因素与生活方式行为之间的关系。
本横断面研究聚焦于与巴奇亚图拉大学相关的医院的临床人员。通过便利抽样收集了 341 名医院临床工作人员的样本。在这项研究中，使用健康促进生活方式量表 II（HPLP-II）问卷评估健康促进行为。
在本研究中，HPLP 总分平均为 131±23。护理专业人员的健康促进行为得分显著较高（ = 0.029）。此外，在主要专业和健康责任（ = 0.000）、压力管理（ = 0.004）、体育活动（ = 0.004）和营养（ = 0.001）等亚量表之间存在差异。健康责任、压力管理、体育活动和营养亚量表的得分在护理专业中较高。教育与压力管理（ = 0.033）和体育活动亚量表（ = 0.001）之间存在显著关系。具有硕士和博士学位的个体的体育活动得分较高，具有硕士学位的个体的压力管理得分较高。根据本文提出的发现，年龄（ = 0.001）和性别（ = 0.016）与营养亚量表有关，年龄在 30 岁以上和女性的营养得分较高。此外，婚姻与精神成长（ = 0.013）和营养（ = 0.024）亚量表以及精神成长和营养得分之间存在显著关系，婚姻状况较好的人精神成长和营养得分较高。工作与健康责任（ = 0.013）和营养（ = 0.022）之间存在显著关系，护士的健康责任和营养得分较高。
医院员工的健康促进行为处于中等水平，与员工的教育水平有关，因此护士的行为更多，而医生则没有这种关系。这些发现可能有助于为临床工作人员制定健康生活方式计划提供建议，以促进健康行为。
