Abstract

This cross-sectional correlation study examined use of health-promoting (HP) behaviors and self-efficacy for engaging in HP behaviors. Participants reported higher HP behavior scores for health responsibility, interpersonal relationships, and spiritual growth, and lower scores for physical activity/exercise, nutrition, and stress management. Low physical activity, stress management, and nutrition scores suggest nurses can implement strategies that encourage use of these HP behaviors and enhance self-efficacy.
