本研究的目的是调查香港大学生的健康促进行为和社会心理健康状况。使用在校园不同地点招募的学生的便利样本(n = 247)进行了一项横断面研究。中文版的《健康促进生活方式概况 II》(HPLP-II;S. Walker、K. Sechrist 和 N. Pender,1995)以问卷形式提供给学生。相对较少的大学生有“健康责任感”(6.5-27.1%)、从事任何形式的体育活动(31.2%)或定期锻炼(13.8%)。不到一半的人每天吃水果(35.2%)和蔬菜(48.9%)。 50.6% 的学生报告了积极的个人成长; 42.5% 的人使用了压力管理技能,74.1% 的人认为他们的人际关系有意义且令人满意。学生在 HPLP-II 的健康责任、营养习惯、精神成长、人际关系或压力管理分量表上的得分在性别上没有显着差异,但在体育锻炼分量表上,男性得分高于女性 (p = 0.001)。这项研究提供了有关性别差异和学生具体需求的信息,可以帮助大学管理人员、课程规划者和社区卫生专业人员设计指导方针,以构建更健康的环境并制定支持大学生健康选择的健康教育计划。
The objective of this study was to examine health-promoting behaviors and psychosocial well-being of university students in Hong Kong. A cross-sectional study was conducted using convenience sample (n = 247) of students recruited at various locations on campus. The Chinese version of the Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II; S. Walker, K. Sechrist, & N. Pender, 1995) was given to students as a questionnaire. Relatively few university students had a sense of "health responsibility" (6.5-27.1%), engaged in any form of physical activity (31.2%), or exercised regularly (13.8%). Less than half ate fruits (35.2%) and vegetables (48.9%) every day. Positive personal growth was reported by 50.6% of the students; 42.5% used stress-management skills and 74.1% rated their interpersonal relationships as meaningful and fulfilling. Students' scores on the health responsibility, nutritional habits, spiritual growth, interpersonal relations, or stress-management subscales of the HPLP-II did not differ significantly by gender, but males scored better than females (p = 0.001) on the physical exercise subscale. This study provides information on gender differences and specific needs of students which can help university administrators, curriculum planners, and community health professionals design guidelines for structuring a healthier environment and developing health education programs that support healthy choices among university students.
