“…There is no difference based on gender or college classification. Based on previous research 33,34 that one of the dimensions that stands out among students is a good personal relationship. This is indicated by the fact that there are eastern cultural factors that still maintain family and kinship relations.…”

Nurses as a health professional has a significant role in primary health services in nurturing, and also enabling the community to healthy behavior. Nurse students will become role models for healthy lifestyles and as leaders to enable people to live healthy lives, this is inversely proportional to the possibility of their unhealthy lifestyles since the study period. The purposes of study were to assess the level health-promoting lifestyle among student of nursing and identify the differences in such lifestyle based on socio-demography. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 326 of nursing students in East Kalimantan. The data has been collected by Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II) level (i.e., responsibility of health, spiritual, physical activities, interpersonal relationship, student nutrition, and their stress management). Data was taken by online self-administered questionnaire. Participants were recruited by convenience sampling. Descriptive and inferential statistics data analysis has been conducted. It was found that 76.4% were female, 37.7% were in second years study, as much as 58.9% of students from municipality areas. The mean score of 2.79 (good) of total HPLP II. The highest mean score was shown for interpersonal relationship by nurse students 3.25 (excellent) and the lowest was daily nutrition (2.43) and physical activity (2.47) as moderate level. Based on independence t-test analysis there were differences statistically in physical activity between gender (p-value <0.001), there is a difference statistically in health responsibility between student from municipality and regency (p-value = 0.010). In general, the HPLP indicators for nursing students are good, but improvement and promotion of healthy lifestyles is still needed. Further identification as strengthening to determine the cause of low nutrition and physical activity. Aspects that must be maintained are interpersonal relationships and spiritual growth.

“…Our results revealed that Lebanese nursing students have lower mean scores on the health‐promoting behavior scale than their counterparts from the United States (Davis et al, 2021) as well as their counterparts from a neighboring country, Palestine (Fashafsheh et al, 2021). Although Palestine has had its share of political and economic crises, Palestinian nursing students reported higher HPB than Lebanese nursing students.…”

Background Nursing students are often faced with academic and personal stressors that threaten their Health‐Promoting Behaviors (HPB) and well‐being. Research on how living in a context of high political uncertainty can impact nursing students' HPB is limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations between HPB and self‐efficacy among nursing students in a context of high political uncertainty. Methods This was a cross‐sectional, descriptive study that included 120 undergraduate nursing students from Lebanon who completed an electronic self‐reported questionnaire. Results The results indicated that HPB measured by HPLP‐II scores were negatively correlated with overall uncertainty scores (r = −.29, p < .01) and positively correlated with the General Self‐Efficacy (GSE) scale scores (r = .41, p < .001). Results from the multiple linear regression model indicated that physical activity frequency and GSE were independent predictors of the total health‐promoting lifestyle profile and the model explained 30.28% of the variance in the total HPLP‐II scale. Linking Evidence to Action This study further emphasizes the importance of regular physical activity (at least 3 h a week) as a strategy to improve HPB among nursing students. Culturally sensitive strategies that aim to enhance HPB should be embedded in undergraduate nursing curricula. Public health nurses and university counselors should join efforts to develop strategies to maintain or enhance self‐efficacy and to promote regular physical activity among nursing students. Future research should further study the association between self‐efficacy, resilience, and uncertainty in contexts of ongoing conflicts.

“…Therefore, nursing students need to establish appropriate health-promoting behaviors for themselves and their patients after graduation. [26,28] In this regard, previous research conducted on college students during the pandemic demonstrate the impact of COVID-19 on mental health experienced by nursing students [33,34] and college students. [35] Other previous studies investigated the digital health literacy of college students during the COVID-19 period, [17,22,24] and one study reported that there was a significant relationship between eHL and COVID-19-related health behaviors of college students.…”

The purpose of this study was to identify the correlation between depression, anxiety, e-health literacy (eHL), and health-promoting behaviors among nursing students during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, and to identify the factors affecting health-promoting behaviors. A cross-sectional study was conducted online, recruiting 301 nursing students recruited from 4 universities in the Chungcheng Province and Daejeon Metropolitan City in South Korea between May 28 and June 30, 2021. Data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 27.0. The general characteristics of the study participants were analyzed by frequency and percentage, and the degree of depression, anxiety, eHL, and health-promoting behaviors were calculated as averages and standard deviations. Differences in health-promoting behaviors according to general characteristics were analyzed using independent t tests and analysis of variance, and a post hoc Scheffe test was conducted. Correlations between depression, anxiety, eHL, and health-promoting behaviors were measured using Pearson correlation matrices. Stepwise multiple regression was performed to identify factors affecting health-promoting behaviors. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the average level of depression and anxiety was reported to be 3.93 (4.71) and 3.40 (4.30), respectively; 33.2% of nursing students experienced more than mild depression and 29.2% experienced anxiety. The average eHL level was 3.91 (0.56), and the average of health-promoting behaviors was 2.43 (0.45). Depression was positively correlated with anxiety ( R = 0.734, P < .001) and negatively correlated with health-promoting behaviors ( r = −0.198, P = .001), whereas eHL had a positive correlation with health-promoting behaviors ( R = 0.347, P < .001). The factors affecting health-promoting behaviors were religion ( β = −0.160, standard error [SE] = 0.048), current health status ( β = −0.097, SE = 0.032), frequency of searching the Internet for health-related information in a week ( β = −0.070, SE = 0.026), interest in health ( β = −0.191, SE = 0.039), and critical eHL ( β = 0.243, SE = 0.040); the explanatory power was 27.4%. Results demonstrate that during the COVID-19 pandemic, higher depression and anxiety among nursing students decreased health-promoting behaviors, while higher eHL increased health-promoting behaviors, and eHL was a major factor affecting health-promoting behaviors. These results contribute to the provision of basic data for the development of nursing intervention programs and educational strategies that can establish correct health-promoting behaviors by managing depression and anxiety among nursing students and improving eHL.
