ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
This study was done to examine the level of performance and predictors influencing health promotion behavior of Korean students in China.METHOD:
The participants were 160 Korean students who have lived in Beijing, China. Data were collected by self reporting questionnaire from september to november, 2001 and t-test, ANOVA, Person's correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression were used to analyze the data.RESULTS:
The health promotion behavior score showed a positive correlation with perceived health status(r=.17, p=.025), social support(r=.29, p=.0001), and self-efficacy(r=.41, p=.0001). By use of stepwise multiple regression analysis, it was determined that the main factors influencing health promotion behavior were self-efficacy 17.0%(F=32.56, p=.0001) and social support 2.2%(F=4.11, p=.044). These variables explained 19.2% of the variance in the health promotion behavior scores.CONCLUSION:
Self-efficacy and social support were the main factors influencing health promotion behavior. These findings showed that we need to develop nursing strategies to promote self-efficacy and social support for Korean students in China.
