“…In addition, young NKRs who present low level of life satisfaction had poorer in health responsibility, nutrition, spiritual growth, interpersonal relations, stress management in HPLBs. This is consistent with previous research indicating that poor HPLBs was predicted by high stress [30, 31] and low life satisfaction [32–34]. The relationship between psychological status and HPLBs suggest that particular attention should be given to those with a high level of stress and low level of life satisfaction.…”

The number of young North Korean refugees (NKRs) entering South Korea to escape famine and poverty and improve their quality of life is drastically increasing. The aims of this study were to identify and compare health promoting lifestyle behaviors (HPLBs) of young NKRs, compared to South Koreans, and to investigate influencing factors related to HPLBs in young NKRs. Data were obtained from 150 NKRs residing in South Korea and 161 South Koreans. Respondents provided their psychological status (depression, stress, and life satisfaction) and HPLBs. The NKRs reported lower interpersonal relations scores and higher spiritual growth scores compared to the control group. Attendance in religious services, stress, and life satisfaction were significantly associated with HPLBs in young NKRs. Health education and/or promotion programs focusing interpersonal relations and spiritual growth may be beneficial. In addition, regular psychological health screening is proposed as part of health-checkup programs, potentially improving adjustment to South Korean society.

“…HPLB is lower in the presence of stress (Edmonds, ; Tucker et al, ). Stress is known to affect health status not only directly through physiological/psychological effects but also indirectly by altering health behaviors (Hsiao, Chien, Wu, Chiang, & Huang, ; Von, Diane Ebert, Ngamvitroj, Park, & Kang, ).…”

Cultural variations among ethnic groups may differentially influence health and health behavior. We explored and compared health-promoting lifestyle behaviors and psychological status, including depression, anxiety, and stress, among Korean migrants (n = 117) and Arab nationals (n = 103) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Pender's Health Promotion Model guided this research. The Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile was used to measure health-promoting lifestyle behaviors and Lovibond and Lovibond's Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale to measure psychological status. The data were analyzed using bivariate procedures and multiple linear regression. No group differences were found in total scores for health-promoting lifestyle behaviors or psychological status. Both groups scored high on self-actualization and interpersonal support; Arabs scored low on exercise, and Koreans scored low on health responsibility. Across groups, psychological status (β = -.390, p < .001), education (β = .239, p < .001), and gender (β = .238, p < .001) were significant determinants of health-promoting lifestyle behaviors in multivariate analysis. Ethnicity and religious attendance were not significant determinants. Education level had a moderating effect; for those with a lower educational level, psychological distress had a stronger negative effect on health behavior. Findings suggest considering cultural aspects, such as different values placed on physical fitness and social/interpersonal relationships, in developing and implementing health education and/or promotion programs. Assessment of psychological status (i.e., depression, anxiety, and stress) should also be included in health promotion programs and related health policies for Korean migrants and Arab nationals in the UAE.

“…The Health Promotion Model (HPM) has been used since the early 1980s (Pender, 1996), and the HPM has been tested in populations that consisted of emerging adults in studying condom use, physical activity/exercise, oral health, and tobacco (Dilorio, Dudley, Soet, Watkins, & Maibech, 2000;Grubbs & Carter, 2002;Martinelli, 1999;Morowatisharifabad & Shirazi, 2007). The HPM has also been used in studying health-promoting behaviors in general among samples that included Black emerging adults (Brown, 2009;Callaghan, 2003Callaghan, , 2006Edmonds, 2010;Grizzle, 2009;Hutchinson, 1995;Jackson, Tucker, & Herman, 2007;Johnson, 2005;McElligott, Siemers, Thomas, & Kohn, 2009;Wilson, 2005).…”

“…In addition, persons feeling stressed tend to consume more than their recommended percentage of energy from fat (Cartwright et al, 2003;Contrada & Baum, 2011;Dallman, 2010;Fowles et al, 2012;McCann, Warnick, & Knopp, 1990;Ng & Jeffery, 2003;Wardle, Steptoe, Oliver, & Lipsey, 2000), overeat (Jeong & Kim, 2007;Torres & Nowson, 2007;Walcott-McQuigg, 1995), and make unhealthy food choices (i.e., fast food, which tends to be high in fat content) (Contrada & Baum, 2011;Edmonds, 2010;Kandiah, Yake, Jones, & Meyer, 2006;Oliver & Wardle,1999;Steptoe, Lipsey, & Wardle, 1998).…”
