A nursing student is expected and trained to perform a good model of health
promoting behaviors to cope with a nurse life. This quantitative study aimed to investigate the
health promoting behaviors of the nursing students in Ratchathani University. A study was
conducted on the second-year nursing students in Ratchathani University. The study samples
were selected by cluster sampling method obtaining 106 students. Data were collected by
questionnaire involving health promoting behaviors constructed by the author, its reliability
test was 0.83 and analyzed by descriptive statistics.
The finding revealed that most of participants performed medium level of the 6
aspects of behaviors as the following. The health responsibility was at medium level (
=2.24), the physical activity was at medium level ( =2.34) , the nutrition was at medium
level ( =2.44). The interpersonal relationship was at good level ( =3.31), the stress
management was at medium level ( =2.66) and spiritual improvement was at good level
( =3.21). Balanced-nutrition and exercise behaviors were not well practiced by most of
students probably due to their life styles and unawareness of their importance to health and
working. The recommendations of the study were that the university should promote
awareness and incentive for exercise and healthy food consumption as well as appropriate
recreation activities to create a model of nursing student with good health promoting
behaviors.
