| Summary: | 碩士 === 長庚大學 === 臨床行為科學研究所 === 96 === The purposes of the present study are to understand the health concept of university students and the state of health behavior in the participants. Another purpose is to demonstrate a causal model of health concept, perceived threat, cost-benefit, and health behavior.
The study uses stratified random sampling to select participants in Chang Gung University and surveys by structured questionnaires. Accoding to the finding, 373 university students have multidimention of health concept including clinical, role functional, adaptive, and eudaemonistic. They think a health person is absence of disease, can carry out usual roles, can adapt to environment, and is exuberant well-being. The ranks of the four kinds of health behavior in the participants are social-health behavior, spiritual-health behavior, psychological-health behavior, and biological-health behavior. The fitness of a causual model of health concept, perceived threat, cost-benefit, and health behavior is good. Cost-benefit is the best factor to predict health behavior, and another is health concept. The cumulative explained variation when using perceived threat and cost-benefit to predict health behavior is 19%. And the cumulative explained variation when using health concept, perceived threat, and cost-benefit to predict health behavior is 24%. The result suggests that using health concept, perceived threat, and cost-benefit to predict health behavior can improve the cumulative explained variation.
The period of university is importment. It will influence adulthood. We can assess why people don’t do health behavior by the study insturments and design intervention programs. We hope to increase that university students’ health concept and the motivation of doing health behavior in university students to prevent illness, protect health, and promote health in the future.
