目的：本研究试图确定健康行为（如吸烟、饮酒、健康饮食和体育活动）与心理社会因素之间的联系。方法：本横断面研究采用多层随机抽样方法，从2009年10月的人口数据库中选取1500名年龄在30 ~ 69岁之间的参与者。研究人员收集了参与者的吸烟和饮酒习惯、饮食行为、体育活动水平、压力、应对策略、冲动、个性、社会支持、凝聚力、自我效能感、健康沟通和社会人口统计学等方面的信息。结果：宜人性与吸烟、健康饮食呈负相关，外向性与饮酒呈正相关。在感觉压力较大的个体中，消费健康饮食的倾向有所下降，而在获得更多社会支持的个体中，这种倾向有所增加。研究发现，自我效能是所有健康行为的有力预测指标。医患沟通和物理环境是促进积极健康行为的重要因素，如健康饮食和定期锻炼。结论：心理社会因素影响个体的吸烟和饮酒习惯、饮食摄入和运动模式。
Objective: This study was an attempt to identify associations between health behavior, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, healthy diet, and physical activity, and psychosocial factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 1,500 participants aged between 30 and 69 years, selected from a population-based database in October 2009 through multiple-stratified random sampling. Information was collected about the participants' smoking and drinking habits, dietary behavior, level of physical activity, stress, coping strategies, impulsiveness, personality, social support, sense of coherence, self-efficacy, health communication, and sociodemographics. Results: Agreeableness, as a personality trait, was negatively associated with smoking and a healthy diet, while extraversion was positively associated with drinking. The tendency to consume a healthy diet decreased in individuals with perceived higher stress, whereas it increased in individuals who had access to greater social support. Self-efficacy was found to be a strong predictor of all health behaviors. Provider-patient communication and physical environment were important factors in promoting positive healthy behavior, such as consumption of a healthy diet and taking regular exercise. Conclusions: Psychosocial factors influence individuals' smoking and drinking habits, dietary intake, and exercise patterns.
