Abstract
Background: Health workers play a special role because they affect the group that they serve. In particular, they are role models based on their lifestyles, and they provide health training, as required as part of their professional responsibilities and social role. Therefore, nurses have important responsibilities in terms of health-promoting activities. Aim: The research presented here was conducted to explore the healthy lifestyle behaviours of student nurses and the factors affecting these behaviours. Methods: The student nurses studying at the School of Nursing of Ege University during the 2010-2011 academic year (n=256) participated in the research. The data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviours Scale II. These data were analysed using percentages, means, t-tests, and correlation and variance analyses. Results: It was found that 51.6% of the student nurses were 21-22 years old, that 89.5% were female, that 78.9% had an income equal to their expenses and that 83.2% had a nuclear family. It was also noted that 89.1% had no health problems, that 89.8% had no chronic diseases, that 79.7% did not smoke and that 66.8% did not use alcohol. Generally, the students’ scores for healthy lifestyle behaviours were moderate (131.05±19.26). Based on the study results, it is recommended that male student nurses who smoke and use alcohol should be particularly encouraged to adopt healthier lifestyle behaviours.
