Objectives: The Purpose of this study is to find out the relationship among depression, self-efficacy, and health promotion behaviors of health college students and to develop programs and mediate strategies to improve desirable health promotion behaviors.Methods: This descriptive study examined the correlation between the depression, self-efficacy, and health promotion behaviors of health college students located in Daegu Metropolitan City participated in the study from October to December. The collected data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 25.0. The general characteristics of the subjects were presented in frequency and percentage, and depression, self-efficacy and health promotion behaviors were presented in average and standard deviation. The results of this study were as follows: First, the correlation between depression, self-efficacy and health promotion behavior was analyzed by t-test and ANOVA. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to identify the effects of general characteristics, depression, and self-efficacy on health promotion behaviors.Results: The depression of health college students was 14.94 ± 11.51, the total score of self-efficacy was 74.60 ± 12.92, and the health promotion behavior was 74.85 ± 18.62. As a result of analyzing the correlation between depression, self-efficacy and health promotion behavior, depression had a statistically significant negative correlation with health promotion behavior, and self-efficacy and health promotion behavior had a statistically significant positive correlation. The factors that depression and self-efficacy have influence on health promotion behavior were gender, depression (-0.15, p= 0.048), and self-efficacy (0.59, p< 0.001).Conclusions: The depression, self-efficacy, and health promotion behaviors of health college students were found to be correlated; development of health promotion programs to improve desirable health promotion behaviors is required.

Abstract Background and Objectives Globally, stroke is one of the major causes of disability and mortality among adults and old age people. The present study aims to evaluate the effects of the health promotion model-based visual learning module (HPM-VLM) on self-efficacy and behavioral modifications among stroke survivors. Methods This nonrandomized controlled trial was conducted on 70 stroke survivors (intervention group, n = 35, and control group, n = 35). The intervention group was subjected to two sessions of the HPM-VLM and the control group received routine instructions. Data were collected through face-to-face structured interview, and observation using a self-structured self-efficacy questionnaire and health promotion behavior questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive (frequency and percentage) and inferential (Chi-square, independent t-test, mixed model, and ANCOVA) values by IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS; version 23) software. Results Eventually, follow-up could have been completed for 66 participants (intervention group, n = 34, and control group, n = 32). HPM-VLM is found to be effective in the promotion of self-efficacy (19.2 ± 1.6 vs. 16.12 ± 2.5; p = 001) and health promotion behavior of stroke survivors in most of the domains (p < 0.01). Conclusion HPM-VLM is an effective interventional tool for the promotion of self-efficacy and health promotion behavior of stroke survivors.

Background: We aimed to explore the factors associated with health promotion behavior of international students in South Korea. Methods: The convenience sample of 263 participants was recruited from two universities in Gangwon-do and Jeollanam-do, South Korea. The data were collected by using structured questionnaires from Apr to Jun 2019. Demographic characteristics, health conception, acculturative stress, self-efficacy, interpersonal support, and health promotion behavior were assessed. T-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression analyses were used for statistical analyses. Results: Participants from Vietnam (P=.040), with more health conception (P<.001), more acculturative stress (P<.001), more self-efficacy (P<.001), and greater interpersonal support (P<.001) were more likely to engage in more health promotion behaviors. Conclusion: This study is meaningful as it collected the data on which to design health promotion programs for international students. Future studies are needed to investigate further factors relating to international students’ health promotion behavior, including internal and external environments.
