Abstract
Purpose: This study was designed to find out the related factor of the health promotion behavior of pneumonconiosis patients. Method: Data were collected by questionnaires from 160 patients in a Workers Accident Medical Center. Data were analyzed by Pearson's correlation coefficient and multiple regression. Result: There were positive correlations among health promotion behavior, self-efficacy(r=.674, p=.000), perceived benefit(r=527, p=000) and self-esteem(r-471, p=000). But there was not correlation between the health promotion behavior and perceived health state. Multiple regression analysis showed that the most powerful predictor was self-efficacy, followed by self esteem. Conclusion: This study revealed that important factors such as self-efficacy and self-esteem should be treated for increasing of the health promotion behavior of pneumonconiosis patients.
