“…The total participants included 115 university students (mean age 24 Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients are shown in Table 1. The physical activity level showed significant correlations with health-promoting behaviors (r= .32, p=.001) and exercise self-efficacy (r=.25, p=.008).…”

“…As in previous studies, physical activity has been positively related to self-efficacy, 23) and self-efficacy is a vital factor affecting health-promoting behavior. 24) Increasing self-efficacy is generally considered an important mediator of the effects of physical activity interventions. Additionally, there was a significant negative correlation between health-promoting behaviors and depression.…”

Purpose: Many Korean college students suffer from physical inactivity and mental health problems. However, it has not been sufficiently reported how this lack of exercise and health-related behavior affect their health. The present study was performed to identify the relationships among physical activity level, health-promoting behavior, and physiological variables in Korean undergraduate and graduate students. Methods: Participants were 115 undergraduate and graduate students from one university in Seoul. The Pearson's correlation analysis was performed using SPSS for Windows. Results: Physical activity level had significant positive correlations with health-promoting behavior (r=.32, p=.001) and exercise self-efficacy (r=.25, p=.008), and health-promoting behavior had a significant correlation with depression (r=-.33, p<.001) and exercise self-efficacy (r=.44, p<.001). Additionally, physical activity level had significant correlations with triglyceride (r=-.20, p=.034) and vitamin D (r=.20, p=.029) levels. The high density cholesterol level had significant negative correlations with systolic blood pressure (r=-.33, p<.001), diastolic blood pressure (r=-.29, p=.002), and vitamin D (r=-.20, p=.035) levels. Conclusion: Physical activity level or health-promoting behavior had significant relationships with the health status of college students. Strategies need to be developed to improve health-promoting behaviors among college students.

“…This is different from 'health behaviour', which is related to preventing health problem/disease (Kasl & Cobb 1966), and is sometimes referred to as 'health-promoting behaviour' (Lo et al 2014). It is also different from 'help seeking behaviour' which Cornally & McCarthy (2011b), in a concept analysis, defined as a problem-focused, planned behaviour, involving interpersonal interaction with a selected health-care professional; also often referred to as 'healthcare-seeking behaviour' (Chowdhury et al 2007).…”

ObjectiveTo explore the health-seeking behaviours of primiparous women with Pelvic Girdle Pain persisting for more than three months postpartum. DesignA descriptive qualitative design involving face-to-face semi-structured interviews following institutional ethical approval. Transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis. SettingAn urban hospital in (blinded). ParticipantsA purposive, criterion-based sample of 23 consenting first-time mothers with Pelvic Girdle Pain persisting for at least three months postpartum. Findings'They didn't ask, I didn't tell' was a key theme, which included emerging categories of a perceived lack of follow-up postpartum, and feeling ignored by healthcare professionals. The theme 'Seeking advice and support' describes women's role of talking to others, and triggers and barriers to getting help. 'Coping strategies' was the third theme emerging from the interviews, whereby participants described different strategies they used to deal with their symptoms, although many expressed uncertainty about what to do or who to see. 3 Conclusion and implications for practiceOur findings show the importance of appropriate information and follow-up care for women with Pelvic Girdle Pain and highlight barriers they encounter in seeking help.They also question the duration of postnatal care as participants felt that postnatal care was stopped too early. The findings may assist maternity care providers in addressing mothers' expectations and needs related to persistent Pelvic Girdle Pain.

“…Similarly, Liou and Contento's study of dietary fat reduction behaviors in Chinese Americans identified the importance of selfefficacy in predicting behavioral outcomes [24]. Lo et al examined associations between HBM constructs including self-efficacy and health promoting behaviors in Chinese individuals living in Hong Kong, China [25]. Health promoting behaviors were set as the dependent variable in the regression analysis.…”

The obesity epidemic is a worldwide health epidemic. The purpose of this research is to ascertain obesity risk reduction behaviors and their psychosocial determinants in Chinese Americans. This study used a crosssectional survey design with a convenience sample of 203 participants in Los Angeles, compared with a New York sample (n=447) of individuals between 18 to 60. Obesity risk reduction behaviors were assessed and psychosocial constructs from the Theory of Planned Behavior and Health Belief Model were measured. T-test comparisons and multiple regression analyses were conducted to determine the psychosocial predictors of obesity risk reduction behavior. In the LA sample, regression analysis indicated that 38.7% of the variance in behavior was accounted by self-efficacy and attitude. Among NY participants, self-efficacy, intention, and attitude contributed to 47% of the variance of behavior. T-test comparisons indicated a higher frequency of healthy behaviors such as consuming nutritious snacks and the recommended daily servings of fruits and whole grains among LA participants. In contrast, the NY sample perceived greater barriers in performing obesity risk reduction behaviors such as the impact of the physical environment on food choices. Nutrition professionals designing interventions with Chinese Americans need to assess their efficacy, intentions, and attitudinal predispositions in performing obesity risk reduction behaviors. A greater emphasis should be placed on addressing barriers of healthy eating when working with Chinese Americans living in the New York metropolitan area.
