Purpose: This research aims to study the relationship between perception of elderly’s health and health behaviors in Nakhon Nayok province, Thailand Methods: This research was a cross-sectional study. The questionnaire was used to collect the data. This research was conducted in Nakhon Nayok province. The sample size was 270 which applied Taro Yamane's formula at a significant level 0.05. The descriptive statistics was implemented to describe the variables by presenting the frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. Furthermore, multiple regression analysis was applied to analyze the relationship between perception of elderly’s health and health behaviors. The statistical significance was considered to reject Hypothesis-null at < 0.05. Results: From a total of 270 people, more than 58.22% of the elderly perceived that they had moderate health conditions. Most elderly had congenital diseases (62.2%). The multiple regression analysis results showed that health status perception and health status perception when compared to their cohort related significantly to health behavior. Conclusion: The government should support the elderly on participation, trust, engagement, and cultural concern of the people in the community, which can contribute to promoting the physical, mental and social condition of the elderly.

Abstract Background The emerging adulthood is traditionally viewed as a time of optimal health, but also as a critical life span, characterized by changing life circumstances and the establishment of an individual lifestyle. Especially university life seems to hold several challenges impeding the manifestation of a health supporting manner, as many students tend to show a poorer health behavior and a higher amount of health-related problems than comparable age groups. This, along with a steady growth of the higher education sector, brings increased attention to the university setting in the context of prevention. To date, there are few empirical longitudinal and coherent cross-sectional data on the status of students’ health literacy, health status, and health behaviors, and on the impact of the study format on students’ health. The aim of this prospective cohort study is to reduce this research gap. Methods Starting during winter semester 2020/21, the prospective cohort study collects data on health literacy, health status and health behavior on a semester-by-semester basis. All enrolled students of the IST University of Applied Sciences, regardless of study format and discipline, can participate in the study at the beginning of their first semester. The data are collected digitally via a specifically programmed app. A total of 103 items assess the subjectively perceived health status, life and study satisfaction, sleep quality, perceived stress, physical activity, diet, smoking, alcohol consumption, drug addiction and health literacy. Statistical analysis uses (1) multivariate methods to look at changes within the three health dimensions over time and (2) the association between the three health dimensions using multiple regression methods and correlations. Discussion This cohort study collects comprehensive health data from students on the course of study. It is assumed that gathered data will provide information on how the state of health develops over the study period. Also, different degrees of correlations of health behavior and health literacy will reveal different impacts on the state of students’ health. Furthermore, this study will contribute to empirically justified development of target group-specific interventions.

AbstractIntroduction. Working conditions often involve employees’ exposure to factors having adverse effects on their health. Due to its nature, the nursing profession entails numerous risks, associated both with harmful factors and a work system itself.Aim. Aim of this study was to analyze the influence of a shift work system on self-reported health status and health behaviors of nurses.Material and methods. The study included 200 nurses employed in three Szczecin hospitals: the Independent Public Clinical Hospital no. 1, Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin, Independent Public Clinical Hospital no. 2, Pomeranian Medical University in Szczecin, and Independent Public Voivodeship Integrated Hospital. The research instruments were the Health Behavior Inventory (HBI) developed by Zygfryd Juczyński, and a self-developed questionnaire concerning sociodemographic and medical data.Results. When it comes to 76% of the nurses, they described their health status as good or very good. The majority of the respondents (54%) displayed a low level of health behaviors. The most common work-related complaints were sleep disorders (55%), headaches after return home from work (55%), irritation after return home from work (83%), skin problems (28%), back pains (76%), leg pain/fatigue (84%), and eating disorders (14%).Conclusions. 1. A work system had substantial effect on self-reported health status of the studied group of nurses. 2. The nurses working day shifts displayed a higher level of health behaviors than their counterparts working in a shift system. 3. A day/night shift work pattern correlated with a higher incidence of eating disorders.
