The purpose of this study is to inquire into the degree of health promotion activity of boys` high school students, and to find out the relationship between self-efficiency and health promotion behavior in order to offer basic data for developing an educational method or program for health promotion.
The content validity of the instrument was authenticated by a professor of the science of nursing, and reliability is proved to be ´cronbach´ α after mortifying content through a pre-test on 37 students. The collected 452 persons` data is analyzed in terms of average, percentage, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson`s Correlation Coefficient, and Multiple Stepwise Regression by ´SAS 6.12´.
The anal zed data is the following;
1. The higher self-efficiency, among cognitive-perceptual factors, has a beneficial effect on health promotion behavior(r=.0687, p=.000l). 2. The acting degree of health promoting behavior appeares to be middled at 3.39 points out of 6. 3. The degree of self-efficiency appears at 6.04 points out of 10. 4. The difference in health promoting behavior according to a subject´s general factors is the following; health concern of parents (p=0.01), higher health concern of parents, makes health promoting behavior higher. 5. The difference of self-efficiency according to subject´s general factors is affected by the health concerns of parents(p=0.0044) and between groups(p=0.0001).
