“…These results had a higher mean HPLP II score than the Turkish study among nurses [21]. Similar results regarding BMI were found in a study conducted at Iran's Guilan University of Medical Sciences [22]. According to a study on healthy habits among Saudi university students, 31.3% of participants had a body mass index (BMI) above the healthy range.…”

“…Our results may be due to the majority of nurses working in this hospital being seniors and having an awareness of their own health responsibilities. Like Estebsari et al (2019), this finding found a significant correlation between BMI, Health Responsibilities, and Nutritional habits. Contrary to the study by Kurnat-Thoma et al (2017), health responsibility is the lowest, scoring HPLP-II (2.55), indicating the respondents did not always feel accountable for maintaining their well-being.…”

“…The World Health Organization (WHO) 2012 announced that lifestyle-related diseases account for 40-50% of fatalities in less developed nations and 70-80% in affluent nations. According to Estebsari et al (2019), a global assessment of health and quality of life (QOL) conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) shows that 60% of QOL is lifestyle-dependent. The term "lifestyle" refers to the conditions and manner of human existence.…”

The study was conducted to determine the prevalence of obesity and health-promoting lifestyles among nurses in a tertiary hospital, Malaysia. Descriptive cross-sectional study of 417 nurses was conducted between July and August 2022 using the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II) scale. The study found majority of the respondents were obese (n = 233, 55.9%). The total score of Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II) was 142.46±22.70. Body Mass Index and health responsibility were statistically correlated (r = 0.129, p = 0.009). Obesity among nurses is prevalent. Body weight management and exercise programs should be implemented to achieve healthy lifestyle among nurses.

Introduction: Physiological changes in menopause can affect women's health. Women's lifestyle is one of the most important factors affecting their health at this time. However, women do not have sufficient knowledge of healthpromoting behaviors and do not receive the necessary training in this area. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of health promoting lifestyle training on health promoting behaviors in postmenopausal women.Materials and Methods: The present study was a randomized controlled clinical trial. 84 women referred to health centers of Qazvin (Iran) were selected by convenience sampling and were randomly divided into two groups of 42 intervention and control groups. Data collection tools included demographic questionnaire and HPLP II questionnaire. Both groups before intervention completed questionnaires. Intervention consisted of 4 sessions of lecture-based group training with presentation of slides, booklets, pamphlets and six areas of health promoting lifestyle questionnaire. The Health Promoting Lifestyle Questionnaire was evaluated in two groups one month, two months and three months after the intervention.Results: There was no significant difference between the intervention and control groups regarding the distribution of individual variables. According to the results of the three follow-up periods, it was found that the difference between the groups was significant in terms of changes in mean life style. Mean score of health promoting lifestyle in the experimental group (2.72 ± 0.37 before intervention), (one month after intervention 3.12 ± 0.45), (two months after intervention 3.43 ± 0.068), (3 months after intervention 3.45± 0.7). This result indicated the positive impact of the intervention mentioned. Mean score of health promoting lifestyle in control group (2.7 ± 0.43 before intervention), (one month after intervention 2.9 ± 0.46), (two months after intervention 2.76 ±.069), (three months after the intervention was 2.75 ± 0.71). This indicates that mean life style scores increased significantly in the experimental group during the measurement times but remained unchanged in the control group (P<0.05). This demonstrates the long-term effects of a significant increase in the health-promoting lifestyle over time. Remarkably, the highest increase was in physical activity and the least in health responsibility. Conclusion:The findings of this study showed that health promoting lifestyle-training intervention is effective on health promotion behaviors of postmenopausal women. Therefore, this intervention is recommended as a simple, practical and low cost educational method for postmenopausal women.
