This study established a health-promoting lifestyle profile in one first year baccalaureate nursing class using the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP) scale (Walker, Sechrist, & Pender, 1987). Students also completed the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale. Pearson correlation coefficients were run to determine the relationship between perceived health locus of control and each of the categories in the HPLP scale. The only significant, albeit low, correlations were between: stress management and internal health locus of control (r = .39, p = .01); and, interpersonal support and powerful others locus of control (r = .33, p = .03). Although low statistical power (n = 34) may have contributed to these findings, the value of health locus of control as an antecedent to health promoting behaviour is questioned. The students in the current study did engage in health-promoting behaviours as measured by the HPLP scale, with behaviours in the categories self-actualization and interpersonal support receiving the highest scores. As a group, the students displayed a high perceived internal locus of control. There was virtually no relationship between perceived health locus of control and the health-promoting lifestyle profile categories. However, the significant relationship between internal locus of control and the dimension, stress management, and the powerful others locus of control and the dimension, interpersonal support, may indicate that people with a differing locus of control have different coping strategies.
本研究使用健康促进生活方式量表（HPLP）（沃克、塞克里斯特和彭德，1987年），在一个本科一年级护理班级中建立了健康促进生活方式概况。学生们还完成了多维健康控制点量表。计算了皮尔逊相关系数，以确定感知到的健康控制点与HPLP量表中每个类别之间的关系。唯一显著的相关性（尽管较低）存在于：压力管理与内控型健康控制点之间（r = 0.39，p = 0.01）；以及人际支持与有势力他人控制点之间（r = 0.33，p = 0.03）。尽管统计效力较低（n = 34）可能导致了这些结果，但健康控制点作为健康促进行为的一个前提条件的价值受到了质疑。本研究中的学生确实表现出了HPLP量表所衡量的健康促进行为，其中自我实现和人际支持类别的行为得分最高。作为一个群体，学生们表现出较高的内控型感知。感知到的健康控制点与健康促进生活方式概况类别之间几乎没有关系。然而，内控型控制点与压力管理维度之间的显著关系，以及有势力他人控制点与人际支持维度之间的显著关系，可能表明具有不同控制点的人有不同的应对策略。
