The purpose of this study was to determine the degree to which selected components derived from Pender's Health Promotion Model (1982) explained engaging in health promotion practices in a sample of 477 persons 65 years and older. One directional hypothesis was tested using canonical correlation analysis. Three significant canonical variates were demonstrated, explaining 88.7 percent of variance. Older healthy persons with high self-esteem and internal locus of control reported practicing five of the six health promotion strategies. Men with higher income and self-esteem but poorer health less often exercised or ate well. Older married subjects with higher incomes who were internally controlled were more likely to engage in exercise, health responsibility and stress management but not in interpersonal support. Findings provide direct multivariate support for the additive nature of the relationships posited in the Health Promotion Model.

“…This may be because state self-esteem is the aspect of a person's feelings of functional self-worth that is subject to change in response to a particular state or situation (Butler, Hokanson, & Flynn, 1994), whereas trait selfesteem is a positive or negative attitude toward self and is relatively stable (Rosenberg, 1965). The literature also suggests that high state self-esteem can facilitate better adaptation among nursing home residents, which can, in turn, make their residential lives more satisfying (Birchenall & Streight, 1993;Breytspraak & George, 1979).…”

Resident satisfaction is widely recognized as a critical dimension in assessing quality of nursing home care. Although many factors are associated with satisfaction, little is known about the relative importance of these factors in predicting satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to identify the demographic, physiological, psychological, and social predictors of satisfaction in a convenience sample of 175 nursing home residents in Hong Kong. Seventeen resident variables were investigated. Variables that showed significant bivariate associations with satisfaction were entered into the stepwise regression model. Health-related quality of life (mental component), state self-esteem, and social support satisfaction, significantly accounted for 31% of the variance of satisfaction. These findings suggest approaches to tailor care plans to increase resident satisfaction.
