Filipino Nursing Students’ Health Promoting Behaviors during Pandemic
Subject
Lifestyle; nursing; pandemic; Philippines; students
Description
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.
