Health promotion activities can improve both, physical and spiritual health. Due to the effect of these behaviors on the quality of life in patients with chronic diseases, the aim of this study was to investigate these behaviors in diabetic patients.
This is a descriptive study of the state of health promotion and demographic affecting factors, in 152 patients with type 2 diabetes which by using a standard questionnaire HPLP?? (Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile ??) that its validity and reliability were approved-was done. The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistical tests.
The average age was 57 years, 64% female, 36% male and 84.8 percent were married. Within the behaviors of health promotion, spiritual and developmental growth, and interpersonal relationships, respectively, with an average of 2.54 and 2.47 had the highest score, and physical activity and responsibility for health, respectively, with 1.78 and 2.3, had the lowest score, stress management and nutrition score were less than average. No statistically significant relationship between the practice of health promotion and gender, education, marital status, disease control methods was considered, but a statistically significant relationship with smoking status, job status and age of patients, was found (P < 0.05).
Health promotion life style behaviors of samples are undesirable. It seems that in order to change the lifestyle and health behaviors of diabetic patients, more training is needed.
