Introduction: Adopting health-promoting lifestyle might be affected by a variety of factors. The existing evidence suggests that social support can improve health by fulfilling physical and mental needs. This study aimed to investigate the association between social support and health-promoting lifestyle in Pregnancy. Methods: Using multistage cluster sampling method, this cross-sectional study was conducted on 360 pregnant women. Data were collected using three questionnaires, including a self-reported demographic and obstetric, health-promoting lifestyle profile and perceived social support questionnaires. Data were analyzed using a t-test, repeated measures ANOVA, and multivariate linear regression model with SPSS software ver. 21 with. Results: The mean (SD) of health-promoting behaviors was 135.21(20.03). Amongst the different dimensions of health-promoting behaviors, the highest mean was detected in spiritual growth 26.84 (4.90) and nutrition 26.17 (4.22), respectively. Meanwhile, the lowest scores were detected in sub-domains of stress management 19.80 (3.78) and physical activity 16.71(4.14), respectively. The mean (SD) of perceived social support was 60.31 (14.75), and 51.7% of the participants had intermediate social support. Results indicated a significant difference between the mean score of Health-Promoting Lifestyle at different levels of social support. There was a direct and significant association between the scores of social support and health-promoting behavior (r=0.36; P<0.001). Conclusion: Pregnant women with better perception of social support had a better performance in adopting health-promoting Lifestyle. However, the status of health behaviors and social support was not favorable. Thus, there is a need to intervene and design programs to help pregnant women and improve their health.

“…Regarding ways to combat depression among women with physical impairments due to MS, enhancing their social networks has been argued to hold potential for intervention, but although literature suggests this both for persons with disabilities and the wider population, the interventions aiming at enhancing social networks and social support are very limited [44]. Similarly, women with MS have been found to report higher scores on the HPLP II instrument regarding 'interpersonal relationships', while reporting lower scores on 'physical activity'with higher scores indicating more frequent engagement/experiences of relevant behaviourswhile there appears to be a statistically significant relationship between social support and health promoting behaviours for women with MS [58]. Therefore, it has been suggested that a higher level of social support can improve behaviours that promote health [58].…”

Purpose: To identify experiences of persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) in terms of social capital and its components (i.e. social networks, trust, and interpersonal relationships) and social support based on the current scientific knowledge. Methods: Systematic literature review was conducted through PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ProQuest, and PsycINFO. Included articles were published from 2000 to 2018 and met specific selection criteria. Screening of records determined eligible studies for inclusion to data extraction and synthesis process.Results: A total of 551 abstracts were screened, of which 34 studies met all selection criteria.The themes that emerged referred to the impact of physical and cognitive impairments on social functioning, stigma, psychosocial, emotional and mental challenges, association of quality of life with social capital components and social support, and contribution of social support to improvement of social functioning and health of persons with MS. Persons with MS face a series of issues regarding social support and social capital-related components, primarily facing psychological difficulties, difficulties with making and maintaining interpersonal relationships, and limitations for participating in social and daily activities due to the symptoms of MS, particularly fatigue. Conclusion:It appears that the ability to seek and maintain social relationships and to participate in social and daily activities is important for persons with MS. This has an impact on their quality of life, as well as on their health functioning, however issues around mobility and stigmatisation of their condition hinder their social functioning.

“…These behaviors are important as they have the potentiality to prevent the complications of illness and treatment, reduce pathogenicity, improve quality of life, maintain the function and independence of individuals, and reduce the burden of care on society. These behaviors are considered to be important determinants of health, and promoting them can prevent one third of deaths and the risk of heart disease in these patients [ 10 , 11 ].…”

BackgroundHealth promoting behaviors are among the determinants of health. Hemodialysis causes significant changes in the lives of patients and affects their health promoting behaviors. Accordingly, this study aimed at investigating the effect of exercise during hemodialysis on health promotion behaviors in patients undergoing hemodialysis.MethodsThis study was a two-stage (before and after) clinical trial. The sample of the study consisted of 60 hemodialysis patients in two hospitals in Isfahan who were selected randomly and divided into two groups of control and intervention using random allocation method. A 8-week exercise program by stationary bicycles (Mini-bike) was designed for the intervention group, while the control group underwent a 10-min limbering exercise for 8 weeks. Data were collected using demographic questionnaire and the Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II) questionnaire before and after the intervention and were analyzed using SPSS21 software.ResultsBased on the independent t-test results, no significant difference was observed between the mean score of health promoting behaviors and its areas before the intervention (P > 0.05). However, the results of this test showed that the mean score of health promoting behaviors and its areas, except for the areas of responsibility (P = 0.052) and spirituality (P = 0.211), was significantly different between the two groups after the intervention (p < 0.05).ConclusionsThe results of this study showed that exercise with stationary bicycle during hemodialysis could promote health promoting behaviors. Thus, this exercise is recommended to be considered as part of the therapeutic protocol of these patients in hemodialysis departments.Trial registrationThe clinical trial was found to be in accordance to the ethical principles and the national norms and standards for conducting medical research in Iran.
