Aim: This study was conducted to examine healthy lifestyle behaviors and exercise behaviors of nursing students.Material and method: The sample of the descriptive study consisted of 317 students who were educated at the University of Health Sciences Faculty Nursing Department during the 2016-2017 school year and who agreed to participate in the research. Data were collected using via demografic characteristics questionnaire, Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale and Exercise Benefit/Barrier Scale. While the data were evaluated, percentage calculations, average measures, Kruskal Wallis test, Mann Whitney U test, One Way Anova and Student t test were used.Results: It was determined that the mean score of the students' Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale as 130,69±19,22. It was found that the highest scores were obtained from spiritual development sub-dimension (26,19±4,31) while the lowest scores were obtained from the physical activity sub-dimension (17,38±5,16) of the scale. It was determined that the mean score of the students' Exercise Benefit/Barrier Scale as 127,82±15,12, mean score of the benefit sub-dimension as 90,35±12,19 and the mean score of the barrier sub-dimension as 37,47±5,96. It was determined that there was a moderate correlation between the exercise benefit scores and the physical activity scores of the students, which was 41% in the positive direction.Conclusion: It was determined that the students' healthy life style behaviors were middle level and their exercise benefits perceptions  were high level. Physical activity behaviors of students were found to increase as the exercise benefit perception of them increased. In the direction of the results obtained from the research, in order to make the nursing students a good role model for the society, emphasizing the healthy lifestyle behaviours, especially nutrition, physical activity and stress management, from which they have received lower points, within the academic curriculums and trying to eliminate the perceived obstacles by attempting to improve the exercise benefit perceptions may be suggested. Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.ÖzetAmaç: Çalışma, öğrenci hemşirelerin sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları ile egzersiz davranışlarının incelenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır.Materyal Metot: Tanımlayıcı tipteki araştırmanın örneklemini, bir üniversitenin Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi Hemşirelik Bölümü’nde Bölümü’nde 2016-2017 yıllarında öğrenim öğrenim gören ve araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 317 öğrenci oluşturmuştur.

Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors

This study examined individual-level determinants of self-reported changes in healthy (diet and physical activity) and addictive (alcohol use, smoking, and vaping) lifestyle behaviors during the initial COVID-19 lockdown period in the USA. A national online survey was administered between May and June 2020 that targeted a representative U.S. sample and yielded data from 1276 respondents, including 58% male and 50% racial/ethnic minorities. We used univariate and multivariable linear regression models to examine the associations of sociodemographic, mental health, and behavioral determinants with self-reported changes in lifestyle behaviors. Some study participants reported increases in healthy lifestyle behaviors since the pandemic (i.e., 36% increased healthy eating behaviors, and 33% increased physical activity). However, they also reported increases in addictive lifestyle behaviors including alcohol use (40%), tobacco use (41%), and vaping (46%). With regard to individual-level determinants, individuals who reported adhering to social distancing guidelines were also more likely to report increases in healthy lifestyle behaviors (β = 0.12, 95% CI 0.04 to 0.21). Conversely, women (β = −0.37, 95% CI −0.62 to −0.12), and unemployed individuals (β = −0.33, 95% CI −0.64 to −0.02) were less likely to report increases in healthy lifestyle behaviors. In addition, individuals reporting anxiety were more likely to report increases in addictive behaviors (β = 0.26, 95% CI 0.09 to 0.43). Taken together, these findings suggest that women and unemployed individuals may benefit from interventions targeting diet and physical activity, and that individuals reporting anxiety may benefit from interventions targeting smoking and alcohol cessation to address lifestyle changes during the pandemic.

The Relationship

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between nursing students’ awareness of the COVID-19 pandemic and health behaviors with health literacy. METHODS: This descriptive and cross-sectional study comprised 408 students enrolled in an undergraduate nursing program at a public university in Turkey. The data were collected online using the Individual Information Form, Healthy Lifestyle Behavior Scale II, and Turkish Health Literacy Scale-32. The percentiles, significance test of the difference between two means, and Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. RESULTS: The mean age of students was 20.89±1.95 and three of them had been diagnosed with COVID-19. It was determined that the students had sufficient health literacy (𝒙̅ =35.97±8.73), and healthy lifestyle behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic were at a moderate level (𝒙̅ =55.76±12.05). The results showed that as awareness of nursing students regarding COVID-19 and precautions against it increased, their mean score of health literacy increased, too (p<.05). Furthermore, there was a positive correlation between students’ mean score of healthy lifestyle behaviors in nutrition, physical activity, and stress management and their mean score of health literacy (p<.05). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: As the results have shown a relationship between nursing students’ awareness of COVID-19 and healthy lifestyle behaviors and health literacy, it is suggested to adapt the health literacy to students’ daily life during the pandemic period.

Abstract Background Understanding the influence of healthy lifestyle behaviors on population-level life satisfaction is few known in the aging population, especially in low- and middle-income countries in Asia. The objective of our study was to analyse the association of lifestyle behaviors with life satisfaction in a nationally-representative sample of older persons in Thailand. Methods The sample was obtained from a baseline phase of a nationally-representative, longitudinal survey of the Thai population. The study employed a multistage sampling technique to recruit study participants age 60 years or older from the five geographic regions of Thailand. In this study, 1460 adults age 60 years or older from 3670 households successfully completed face-to-face interviews by trained staff with a structured questionnaire. Information on self-reported life satisfaction, lifestyle behaviors, and sociodemographic characteristics were collected via survey questionnaire. Life satisfaction was assessed using the Scale with Life Satisfaction (SWLS) [1 to 7] response. Binary logistic regression analysis was used in investigating the association between lifestyle behaviors and life satisfaction. Results The median age of the participants was 68.1 (60–93 years). The overall mean life satisfaction score was 24.2 ± 5.6. Regular physical activity (at least 30 min per day) and sufficient fruit and vegetable (FV) intake (at least 400 g per day) were significantly associated with older people’s life satisfaction (p ≤ 0.001 and p ≤ 0.10, respectively) after controlling all sociodemographic variables. Participants who had regular physical activity were 1.7 times as likely to be satisfied as those with less physical activity (95% CI 1.284–2.151). Participants with sufficient daily FV intake were 1.3 times as likely to be satisfied with life as those with insufficient daily FV (95% CI 0.994–1.723). Life satisfaction score also differed significantly by sociodemographic characteristics (sex, age, marital status, educational attainment) and presence of chronic disease. Conclusions To improve the life satisfaction of older persons, taking into account sociodemographic characteristics of the population and absence of chronic disease, the need for promotion of healthy lifestyle behaviors, especially regular physical activity and sufficient FV intake, must be recommended.
