ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To explore the correlation between health promotion lifestyle and self-efficacy of the nurses.METHODS: By stratified random sampling method,a total of 360 nurses were selected as investigation objects and measured by the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-Ⅱ( HPLP-Ⅱ) and General Self-Efficacy Scale( GSES). RESULTS: The total score of HPLP-Ⅱ was 67. 0-194. 0( 110. 8 ± 19. 8). The dimension scores from high to low were as follow interpersonal relationship scored 13. 0-33. 0( 21. 6 ± 3. 7),nutrition scored 11. 0-35. 0( 20. 4 ± 3. 9),self-realization scored 9. 0-36. 0( 20. 2 ± 4. 4),health responsibility scored 10. 0-31. 0( 18. 0 ± 3. 9),stress management scored 9. 0-32. 0( 16. 6 ± 3. 9),excise training scored 8. 0-32. 0( 14. 1 ± 4. 2). The GSES total score was 10. 0-40. 0( 22. 0 ± 5. 2),the nurses with medium and low level of self-efficacy were 92. 8%( 334 /360). The GSES total score of nurses showed a positive correlation with total HPLP-Ⅱ score,and other dimension scores of interpersonal relationship,nutrition,self-realization,health responsibility,stress management and excise training( the correlation coefficients were 0. 501,0. 420,0. 429,0. 469,0. 381,0. 429 and 0. 354,respectively,P < 0. 05). CONCLUSION: The general self-efficacy of nurses is positively correlated with their health promotion lifestyle. The health promotion lifestyle could be formed by improving the self-efficacy level.
