“…According to our study, and based on the range of health-related scores, the performance of health promoting behaviors in women was acceptable, a finding consistent with the mean score 135 reported by McElligott et al (10). In the current study, the lowest score was associated with physical activities, which was in agreement with the results of McElligott et al and Edrisi et al studies (10,11). Scully et al and Rahnavard et al showed that the lifestyle of adolescent girls, particularly in terms of exercise and nutrition was at an undesirable level (12,13).…”

“…In the study of Edrisi et al on health promoting behaviors, the interpersonal relationship and food gained the highest scores (11). Moreover, a direct relationship has been found between spiritual growth and life quality in different aspects (10).

Results: Regarding health promoting behavior, 77.8% of women were in average condition, 14.4 % considered desirable, while 7.8 % found to have undesirable status. The mean score was 129.2 ± 20.9. Therefore, the physical activity and health care responsible were of lowest quality, where associability and spiritual growth proved to be in best condition. In linear regression test, the most important factors predictive of health promoting behaviors included the level of education (β = 0.15, P = 0.004), the number of children (β = 0.13, P = 0.002), and the marital status of the participants (β = 0.1, P = 0.021). Conclusions:The health system of any society should pave the way for providing facilities, offering proper trainings, according with intersectoral coordination and following the principle of social justice, encouraging women to perform health-promoting behaviors.

“…Occupational category should therefore be taken into account when designing workplace health promotion programs. Previous studies using the HPLP have focused on specific demographic groups 15,28) or on a small number of occupations 29,30) , and the influence of occupational category has been relatively neglected. In this study, laborers scored lower in the overall 12) have also found that blue-collar workers had lower scores in the overall HPLP, nutrition, self-actualization, interpersonal support, and exercise than skilledtrade and white-collar workers.…”

[[abstract]]In Taiwan, workplace health promotion programs have been designed on an organizational basis, and the specific health needs for workers within different occupational categories have not usually been taken into account. This study describes the various levels of overall health-promoting lifestyles and health-promoting behaviors of workers within different occupational categories, and examines the effects of occupational category, perceived busyness, and BMI level on overall health-promoting lifestyles and health-promoting behaviors. A cross-sectional survey with convenient sampling, comprising a self-reporting questionnaire (which included the Chinese version of the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile), was used to measure the overall HPLP and six health-promoting behaviors (nutrition, health responsibility, self-actualization, interpersonal support, exercise, and stress management). A total of 796 participants were recruited. Multiple regression analysis showed that the various occupational categories sustained significant differences in overall HPLP, nutrition, self-actualization, interpersonal support, and stress management (after controlling for some specific factors). Perceived busyness showed positive effects on the overall HPLP, self-actualization, interpersonal support, and stress management. The obese group had less participation in overall health-promoting lifestyles and stress management when compared with the moderate BMI group. Workplace health promotion practitioners should therefore develop specific strategies to target the laborers and workers who demonstrate obesity

“…The Health Promotion Model (HPM) has been used since the early 1980s (Pender, 1996), and the HPM has been tested in populations that consisted of emerging adults in studying condom use, physical activity/exercise, oral health, and tobacco (Dilorio, Dudley, Soet, Watkins, & Maibech, 2000;Grubbs & Carter, 2002;Martinelli, 1999;Morowatisharifabad & Shirazi, 2007). The HPM has also been used in studying health-promoting behaviors in general among samples that included Black emerging adults (Brown, 2009;Callaghan, 2003Callaghan, , 2006Edmonds, 2010;Grizzle, 2009;Hutchinson, 1995;Jackson, Tucker, & Herman, 2007;Johnson, 2005;McElligott, Siemers, Thomas, & Kohn, 2009;Wilson, 2005).…”
