Abstract

PurposeNurses are expected to model health-promoting behaviors, yet maintaining healthy lifestyles remains challenging. This study examined health-promoting lifestyle behaviors among primary health care nurses in Saudi Arabia and explored demographic influences across six lifestyle domains using Pender's Health Promotion Model.MethodsA cross-sectional design was used among 184 primary health care nurses in the Qassim Region. Data were collected using the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II and analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis.ResultsThe overall health-promoting lifestyle mean score was moderate (M = 2.30, SD = 0.58). Spiritual growth (M = 2.76, SD = 0.79) and interpersonal relations (M = 2.64, SD = 0.70) were the highest-rated domains, while physical activity was the lowest (M = 1.77, SD = 0.74). No significant differences in overall health-promoting lifestyle were observed across demographic variables. Regression analysis showed that demographic factors did not significantly predict health-promoting lifestyle behaviors (R² = .034).ConclusionPrimary health care nurses showed strengths in relational and meaning-oriented well-being but limited engagement in physical self-care. The weak influence of demographic factors suggests that contextual and environmental conditions play a larger role in shaping lifestyle behaviors, highlighting the need for strategies that support nurses' well-being and strengthen holistic nursing practice.

沙特阿拉伯初级卫生保健护士促进健康的生活方式行为：基于Pender健康促进模型的横断面研究

目的护士被期望成为促进健康行为的榜样，然而保持健康的生活方式仍然具有挑战性。本研究考察了沙特阿拉伯初级卫生保健护士促进健康的生活方式行为，并利用Pender健康促进模型探讨了人口统计学对六个生活方式领域的影响。方法采用横断面设计对卡西姆地区184名初级卫生保健护士进行调查。采用促进健康生活方式资料II收集数据，并采用描述性统计和回归分析进行分析。结果总体健康促进生活方式平均得分中等（M = 2.30, SD = 0.58）。精神成长（M = 2.76, SD = 0.79）和人际关系（M = 2.64, SD = 0.70）是得分最高的领域，体育活动得分最低（M = 1.77, SD = 0.74）。总体健康促进生活方式在人口统计学变量中没有显著差异。回归分析显示，人口统计学因素对促进健康的生活方式行为无显著影响（R2 = 0.034）。结论初级卫生保健护士在关系型和意义型幸福感方面具有优势，但在身体自我保健方面参与有限。人口因素的微弱影响表明，背景和环境条件在塑造生活方式行为方面发挥着更大的作用，这突出了支持护士福祉和加强整体护理实践的战略的必要性。

期刊介绍： Manuscripts are solicited that deal with the processes of knowledge development and application including research, concept analysis and theory development, practical applications of research and theory, clinical case studies and analysis, practice applications in general, educational approaches and evaluation, and aesthetic expressions of holistic knowledge. While the journal seeks to support work grounded in evidence, the editorial philosophy suggests that there are many diverse sources of “evidence” beyond the realm of what is called “empirical” and that many methods are appropriate for discovering evidence and generating knowledge.
