Purpose: The purpose of this study was to supply basic data for a health promoting program and to elevate the level of it by examining whether university students’ health promoting behaviors were related to health perception, health concept, self-esteem, perceived benefits of action, perceived barriers of action, perceived self-efficacy, activity-related affect, social support, preference, prior related behavior, and a plan for action.
Methods: Subjects were 192 university students in K city. Data collection method was a structured questionnaire. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation, and stepwise multiple regression.
