Purpose: This paper is a report of an analysis of the concept of pro-environmental health behavior.
Methods: Rodgers’ method of evolutionary concept analysis was used to analyze the concept. A literature search using keywords ‘pro-environmental health behavior, ‘environmental health behavior’, and ‘eco-friendly health behavior’ was conducted using PubMed, CINAHL, PsychINFO, and RISS and utilizing the results published from 1983 to 2011. Database and bibliographic searches yielded 84 records.
Results: Four critical attributes of pro-environmental health behavior were identified as ‘prevention and protection’, ‘internal process’, ‘altruism’, and ‘alternative’. Antecedents to pro-environmental health behavior were climate change, environmental pollution, and health risk. The consequences of pro-environmental health behavior were individual and social behavioral changes.
Conclusion: The concept of pro-environmental health behavior developed in this project may offer information to be considered as the concept is further develop and efforts are made to measure the attributes of pro-environmental health behavior.
