Factors Affecting Health-Promoting Lifestyle Among Older Women With Chronic Disease
Abstract:
The current cross-sectional descriptive study applies the Health Promotion Model to explore associations among sociodemographics, psychological factors (self-esteem), self-efficacy, perceptions of current health, and social support affecting older women with at least one chronic disease in South Korea. Convenience sampling of 232 older women aged ≥65 from a welfare center in South Korea showed that a health-promoting lifestyle is significantly and positively correlated with self-esteem, self-efficacy, perception of current health, and social support. Multiple regression analysis revealed that social support had the greatest effect on health-promoting lifestyle, explaining 49% of the dependent variable variance. Nurses serve a crucial role in providing care for older women by helping them within community settings to find resources for senior fitness, encouraging them to pursue health-related habits, and strengthening support systems by encouraging participation in social activities and maintaining strong relationships and interactions with family and friends.
