Health Promoting Lifestyle

Introduction: The most important risk factors for type II diabetic patients are poor nutrition, low physical activity, smoking and obesity indicating an inappropriate lifestyle. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the factors affecting the health promoting lifestyle in type II diabetic patients compared with healthy people. Patients and Methods: The study was descriptive-analytic with two case-control groups carried out on 150 type II diabetic patients and 150 healthy people. Data were collected using demographic characteristics questionnaire and health promoting lifestyle profile II (HPLII). Results: There was a significant difference between the lifestyle of type II diabetic patients and healthy people (P<0.001). Additionally, there were significant differences regarding lifestyle dimensions between physical activity, nutrition and stress management in type II diabetic patients compared with healthy people (P<0.001). There was no significant difference between the two groups in the dimensions of spiritual growth (P=0.074), communication with others (P=0.363) and health responsibility (P=0.582). Conclusion: This study showed the effective role of lifestyle components in the development of type II diabetes. It is recommended to prevent or manage type II diabetes, through emphasizing on maintaining lifestyle and its dimensions.

Aim: The aim of this study was to test the structural equation model of relationships between attachment styles and self-differentiation with academic performance of university students with the mediating role of health-promoting lifestyle. Methods: The method of this research was descriptive and correlation type. The statistical population consisted of all undergraduate students of Shahid Beheshti University (1554 people) in the academic year of 2018-2019. The sample size was estimated to be 308 based on Cochran formula. Eventually 305 questionnaires were finalized. Research tools included the Self-Distinction Questionnaire (Skowron & Schmitt, 2003), the Adults Attachment Inventory (AAI) (Hazen and Shaver, 1987), the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile (Walker, Sichrist & Pender, 1995) and the Educational Performance Test (Pham and Taylor, 1999) were used and data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistical methods (Pearson correlation, path analysis and structural equation modeling) using SPSS 23 and AMOS 26 statistical softwares. Findings: The results showed that attachment styles and self-differentiation have a significant relationship with academic performance and these variables are able to directly predict academic performance (p<0.01). Promotional lifestyles can also play a mediating role between attachment styles and self-differentiation with academic performance (p<0.01). Conclusion: Regarding the relationship between attachment styles, self-differentiation and health-promoting lifestyle with academic performance, special attention to these variables is necessary to improve student performance.
