Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to evaluate health-promoting behaviors and affecting factors in high school students. The sample of this descriptive study consisted of 112 students who met the inclusion criteria of a Municipality Youth Center and Information House in Istanbul and volunteered to participate in the study. The data were collected with an information form containing the socio-demographic characteristics of the students and a healthy lifestyle behaviors (SYBD) scale. The data obtained in the research were evaluated in a computer environment by means of SPSS 22.0 statistical program. Data analysis was performed using t-test and one-way analysis of variance. Behaviors of high school students regarding responsibility for health, and the rate of participation in trainings on this subject were found to be moderate. One of the remarkable results is that adolescents' behaviors related to physical activity, nutrition score averages and spiritual development sub-dimension scores are at a moderate level. High school students' healthy lifestyle behaviors were found to be moderate. Students need education about the importance of healthy lifestyle behaviors. Education on healthy lifestyle behaviors should be given to students both in youth centers and in information centers and high schools.
