Abstract

Sağlıkla ilgili önemli konuların başında gelen koruyucu sağlık bakım davranışı hem çevre dostu davranışlar hem de sağlık beslenme davranışını etkileyen kritik faktörlerden birisidir. Tüketilecek gıdaların sağlıklı yönlerini ön plana çıkarması ve teşvik etmesi beslenme alışkanlıkları üzerinde önemli rol oynamaktadır. Bu bağlamda araştırma koruyucu sağlık bakım davranışının belirleyicilerini temel almaktadır. Bu nedenle bu araştırmanın amacı sağlık motivasyonu, sağlık bilgisi ve sağlık bilincinin koruyucu sağlık bakım davranışı üzerindeki etkisini ortaya koymaktır. Araştırmanın örneklemini kolayda örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenen 18 yaş ve üzeri bireyler oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın verileri online anket yöntemi ile 455 katılımcıdan elde edilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde frekans ve yüzde dağılımları ile güvenilirlik analizi ve çoklu regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonuçları sağlık motivasyonu, sağlık bilgisi ve sağlık bilincinin bireylerin sağlıklı yaşam açısından önem arz eden koruyucu sağlık bakım davranışında önemli belirleyiciler olduğunu göstermiştir. Etkiler dikkate alındığında koruyucu sağlık bakım davranışı üzerinde görece yüksek etkiye sahip olan değişkenin sağlık bilgisi olduğu görülmüştür. Elde edilen sonuçlar bireylerin beslenme ve sağlık yaşam için sağlıklı ilgili motivasyon, bilgi ve bilincin geliştirilmesi gereken unsurlar olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.

A study on the determinants of preventive health care behaviors

Abstract

Preventive health care behavior, which is one of the important issues related to health, is one of the critical factors affecting both environmentally friendly behaviors and health nutrition behavior. Highlighting and promoting the healthy aspects of the foods to be consumed plays an important role on nutritional habits. In this context, the research is based on the determinants of preventive health care behavior. Therefore, the aim of this research is to reveal the effects of health motivation, health knowledge and health awareness on preventive health care behavior. The sample of the study consists of individuals aged 18 and over determined by convenience sampling method. The data of the research were obtained from 455 participants by online survey method. Frequency and percentage distributions, reliability analysis and multiple regression analysis were used in the analysis of the data. The results of the study showed that health motivation, health knowledge and health awareness are important determinants of preventive health care behavior of indivuduals, which is important for healthy life. Considering the effects, it was seen that the variable that had a relatively high effect on preventive health care behavior was health knowledge. The obtained results reveal that individuals are the elements that need to be developed for healthy motivation, knowledge and awareness for nutrition and health life.
