8 METHODOLOGY The Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II includes: health responsibility, physical activity, nutrition, interpersonal relations, stress management, spiritual growth Walker, Sechrist, & Pender, N. J. (1987)

9 RESULTS Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) Healthy lifestyle behavior Key BSN MSN

10 RESULTS 1. Never 2. Sometimes 3. Often 4. Routinely

11 STUDENT AGE 21% 4% 27% 48% Key: years years years years

12 ETHNICITY 1% Black/African American Native American Asian Pacific Islander 39% 31% Hispanic/Latino European Multi-Ethnic White non-hispanic Undeclared/Other 6% 1% 4% 6% 9% 3%

13 ETHNICITY BSN 0% 31% 39% 3% 6% 6% 9% 3% 3% Native American Asian Pacific Islander Hispanic/Latino European Multi-Ethnic White non-hispanic Undeclared/Other Black/African American 36% 2% 10% MSN 2% 31% 0% 7% 2% 10%

14 RESULTS Demographics Children at home Marital status Years living in USA if foreign born

15 DISCUSSION Health promotion behaviors: 2.5 (sometimes) No significant difference of health promotion behaviors: RN to BSN and MSN students Nutrition had a significant cultural difference Similar behaviors compared to first year BSN students of Haddad, et al. (2004)

16 CONCLUSIONS Similar health promotion behaviors (BSN/MSN) Foreign nursing workforce Need of healthy lifestyle educational strategies Health Promotion Model use Health Promotion/Illness Prevention research
