The instrument used in this study was attitude of health behavior scales that were developed by Okayama medical school. The subjects were 512 student nurses recruited from 1 college and 3 universities. the data was analyzed using SPSS pc program with mean correlation and multiple regression technique.
The results were as follows: 1. The mean score of attitude of health behaviors of the student nurses was 8.11 showing a relatively high level. A high score of health belief was reported in 'self-responsible type' with the score of 4.80 and a high score of 'think for health of disease' was reported in passive type with the score of 3.12 2. Specifically there were significant positive correlations between the level of attitude of health behaviors' and other health related variables such as health perception think for health of disease and age 3. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that active thought leisure self-responsible perception and depression accounted for 13% of variance of attitude toward health behaviors In conclusion although student nurses certainly perceived the performance of health behavior they need to learn in more systematical way in order to be a better health promoter one of the role of nurses.
