“…This may be due to the students and community members' strict implementation of safety precautions (Tuppal et al, 2021). A study by Rabacal et al (2022) indicated that higher education students from Western Visayas region of the Philippines generally had a high practice of COVID-19 preventive measures. Nursing students were concerned about their well-being and their families during the pandemic (Barrett, 2022) and thus practiced COVID-19 preventive measures reduce the chances of acquiring the disease.…”

Background: Research on health promoting behaviors can assist nursing students in identifying, maintaining, and improving health behaviors. The notable impact and changes in lifestyle behaviors during the pandemic necessitate a closer look into students’ health-promoting behaviors. However, there is a lacuna in the literature about health promoting activities of nursing students stuck at home and attending online learning during the pandemic.Purpose: This study assessed the level and predictors of health promoting behaviors of nursing students in a Philippine public university during a pandemic.Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design with 363 out of 531 undergraduate nursing students of a public university in the Philippines as study participants. Data were gathered using an online survey last March 2022 employing the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP) II. Significant predictors were identified using multiple linear regression analysis with the aid of SPSS version 26.0.Results: Results showed that nursing students had a high (M=2.80 out of 5) practice of health promoting behaviors. Physical activity ranked the lowest among the six dimensions of health promotion behaviors. The variables that predicted the health promoting behaviors of nursing students were self-reported academic performance (β=2.110, p=.000), family income level (β=.055, p=.001), and academic year level (β=.057, p=.002).Conclusion: Nursing students should continue to maintain their good practice of health promoting behaviors. However, more attention should be given to engaging in physical activity to maintain holistic well-being.

Background:The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in school closures and the reopening of schools is considered to be a possible approach to start reversing learning deficits. However, the literature is scarce on the determinants of intention to attend face-to-face classes among nursing students.Method: This cross-sectional study examined students' intention to attend limited face-to-face classes on school reopening, and its association among the core constructs of the Theory of Planned Behavior. Undergraduate nursing students of one university in the Philippines (n = 322) answered an online questionnaire.Predictor variables were determined by multiple linear regression analysis.Results: Results demonstrated that nursing students had a high intention (4.47 of 5) to attend limited face-to-face classes. First-and second-year students had significantly higher intention to attend limited face-to-face classes than third-and fourth-year nursing students. Multiple regression analysis suggested that attitude (β = .127, p = .001), subjective norm (β = .400, p = .000), and perceived behavioral control (β = .326, p = .000) positively predicted students' intention to attend face-to-face classes. Conclusion:As many schools prepare for the gradual reopening of campuses, the different beliefs of students may be considered by nursing schools to better understand students' intention for face-to-face instruction.
