Objective: Medical students’ attitudes and behaviors are particularly important for themselves, their families and the society as the yare the health professionals of the future. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between health anxiety levels and healthy lifestyle behaviors of medical students in Cukurova University and there lated factors. Methods: The study population consisted of 1886 medical students in Cukurova University during the 2018-2019 academic year. The study sample consisted of 319 medical students. The students completed a Socio-demographic Data Form consisting of 24 questions, Health Anxiety Inventory (short version) consisting of 18 questions and Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale consisting of 48 questions. Data was analyzed using SPSS 23.0 package program. Results: Of 319 students, 58.9% were female and 41.1% were male; the mean age was 21.5±2.1 years. The mean score of Health Anxiety inventory was 17.6±6.2. There was a significant relationship between self-perception of health and health anxiety (p=0.001). The total score of the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale was 120.1±18.1 out of 192 indicating a moderate level. The mean scores of subdimensions were 35.9±5.9 for self actualisation, 21.7±4.9 for health responsibility, 9.7±3.6 for physical activity, 15.2±3.6 for nutrition, 20.3 for interpersonal relationships, and 17.3 for stres management, respectively. The total scores of the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale and the mean scores of exercise and stress management subscales were higher in male students than female students. Conclusion: It was found out that the students did not have high levels of health anxiety and had moderate healthy lifestyle behavior levels. It was observed that students with increased levels of health anxiety had less healthy lifestyle behaviors. Students should be empowered about health promotion to enable them to have the ability for self-management.

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.
