The Relationship

Background and Aims. Healthy lifestyle behaviors are the major determinant of both prevention health and health related quality of life. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between health-promoting behaviors and quality of life of elderly individuals living in nursing homes. Methods. The study was performed between October 2008 and 2009, in the city of Kayseri in Turkey, upon 136 individuals, aged 65 and above, living in the Gazioglu Nursing Home. A sociodemographic questionnaire, Standardized Mini Mental Test, Health Promoting Lifestyle Behaviors Profile (HPLP), and WHOQOL-OLD module were used for the gathering of data. Results. The overall HPLP and quality of life (QoL) scores were 118.06±20.54 and 43.45±10.30, respectively. More than half of the participants have higher points than the mean QoL scores. The HPLP scores of these subjects were significantly higher compared to those with lower points than mean QoL scores. There was a positive relationship between the overall HPLP and WHOQOL-OLD mean scores, except for the autonomy and sensorial function domains. Conclusions. The study result showed that health-promoting behaviors are positively associated with better quality of life scores in the elderly subjects living in a nursing home.

Working Method

Introduction: Getting healthy lifestyle behaviors is important for a healthy life.Aim: In this study, we aimed to determine the effect of individual working method (IWM) on health self-efficacy perception and healthy lifestyle behaviors in nursing students.Material and method: This study was carried out in the spring semester of 2015-2016 academic year using semi-experimental designs and pre-test post-test control group pattern on total 158 first year nursing student. The data of the study were collected by the socio-demographic questionnaire and Healthy Lifestyle Behavior Scale II (HLBS-II) and Health Self-Efficacy Perception Scale (HSEP). While the topics covered in the health promotion and development course program are presented with a group narration and question-answer method, in other group the IWM has been applied which provides the opportunity for the students to evaluate their behavior in addition to narrative method (NM). In the analysis of the data, number, percentage, arithmetic mean, chi square test, t test, correlation analysis and Cohen d formula were used, p <0.05 value was accepted as statistically significant. Results: There was no significant change in the mean score of the HLBS-II score of the students in the NM group at the end of the term (p> 0.05), but the mean scores of the students in the IWM group increased (p <0.001). In the NM group, there was a “low change” in physical activity, nutrition, health responsibility sub-dimensions in the HLBS-II scale and “low/ medium change” in all sub-dimensions in the IWM group (p <0.05). In both groups, the lowest point average for both measures belongs to the nutrition sub-dimension.While there was no change in the NM group (p> 0.05) in the health self-efficacy perception, the increase in the IWM group was significant (p <0.05).Conclusion: It is recommended to use interactive training methods such as IWM besides the NM to gain healthy lifestyle behaviors.Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetGiriş: İnsanlara sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarının kazandırılması sağlıklı bir yaşam için önemlidir.Amaç:  Bu çalışmanın amacı,  hemşirelik öğrencilerinde bireysel çalışma yönteminin sağlık öz yeterlik algısı ve sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışlarına olan etkisini belirlemektirGereç ve Yöntem: Bu araştırma yarı deneysel tasarımlardan ön test son test kontrol gruplu desen kullanılarak 2015-2016 eğitim öğretim yılı bahar döneminde 158 hemşirelik birinci sınıf öğrencisi ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın verileri sosyodemografik soru formu, “Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi Davranışları II Ölçeği” ve “Sağlık Öz Yeterlilik Algısı Ölçeği” ile toplanmıştır. Sağlığı koruma ve geliştirme dersi programında yer alan konular bir gruba “anlatım ve soru-cevap” yöntemi ile sunulurken diğer gruba ek olarak öğrencilerin kendi davranışlarını değerlendirmelerine fırsat sunan “bireysel çalışma yöntemi” uygulanmıştır.Verilerin analizinde yüzde, aritmetik ortalama, ki kare testi, t testleri, korelasyon analizleri ve Cohen d formulü kullanılmış, p<0.05 değeri istatistiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edilmiştir.  Bulgular:  Dönem sonunda anlatım yöntemi grubundaki öğrencilerin Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi Davranışları Ölçeği II toplam puan ortalamasında anlamlı değişim görülmezken (p>0.05), BÇY grubundaki öğrencilerin puan ortalamalarında artış olmuştur (p<0.001). Anlatım yöntemi grubunda Sağlıklı Yaşam Biçimi Davranışları II Ölçeğinde fiziksel aktivite, beslenme, sağlık sorumluluğu alt boyutlarında “düşük düzeyde”, bireysel çalışma grubunda tüm alt boyutlarda “düşük/orta düzeyde” değişim görülmüştür (p<0.05). Her iki grupta en düşük puan ortalaması beslenme alt boyutuna aittir. Sağlık özyeterlik algısında anlatım yöntemi grubunda değişim görülmezken (p>0.05) Bireysel Çalışma Yöntemi grubunda ki artış anlamlıdır (p<0.05).Sonuç: Sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışları ve sağlık özyeterlik algısının gelişiminde bireysel çalışma yönteminin anlatım yönteminden daha  etkili olduğu belirlenmiştir.Öneriler: Bireylere sağlıklı yaşam biçimi davranışı kazandırmada anlatım yanında bireysel çalışma yöntemi gibi interaktif eğitim yöntemlerinin kullanılması önerilir.

Overweight and obesity present health risks for mothers and their children. Reaching women during the key life stages of preconception and pregnancy in community settings, such as workplaces, is an ideal opportunity to enable health behavior change. We conducted five focus groups with 25 women aged between 25 and 62 years in order to investigate the determinants of healthy lifestyle behaviors, weight management, and wellbeing needs during the preconception and pregnancy periods in an Australian university workplace. Discussions explored women’s health and wellbeing needs with specific reference to workplace impact. An abductive analytical approach incorporated the capability, opportunity, and motivation of behavior (COM-B) model, and four themes were identified: hierarchy of needs and values, social interactions, a support scaffold, and control. Findings highlight the requirement for greater organization-level support, including top-down coordination of wellbeing opportunities and facilitation of education and support for preconception healthy lifestyle behaviors in the workplace. Interventionists and organizational policy makers could incorporate these higher-level changes into workplace processes and intervention development, which may increase intervention capacity for success.

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.
