      for health practices and academic achievement?

AB  - Background Nursing students play a role in promotion of public health as health 
      promoters and professional care providers. Therefore, health-promoting behaviors 
      in nursing students and their self-efficacy for health practices are important in 
      providing better services to patients and clients. With regard to the importance 
      of these factors in the academic progress of students, this study was conducted 
      to examine the level of health-promoting behaviors among nursing students and its 
      relationship with self-efficacy for health practices and academic achievement. 
      Methods This descriptive and correlational study was conducted on 217 nursing 
      students of a large university of medical sciences in the south of Iran in 2016. 
      Data were collected using the Persian version of the health promotion lifestyle 
      profile (HPLP II), self-rated abilities for health practices scale (SRAHPS) and 
      the grade point average of the students (levels A, B, C). Results The mean 
      health-promoting behaviors (2.48 +/- 0.35) and self-efficacy for health practices 
      of the students (2.55 +/- 0.62) were moderate. The mean score of the students' 
      academic achievement was at level B (16.02 +/- 1.85). The health-promoting 
      behaviors were significantly correlated with self-efficacy for health practices 
      (r = 0.623, p < 0.0001) and academic achievement (r = 0.285, p < 0.0001). 
      Moreover, self-efficacy for health practices was significantly correlated with 
      academic achievement (r = 0.282, p < 0.0001). Conclusion The correlation between 
      the health-promoting behaviors and health self-efficacy with academic achievement 
      can be a good basis in devising health and educational programs for students. In 
      planning for promoting academic achievement and health-promoting behaviors of 
      students, it is essential to pay special attention to enhancement of 
      self-efficacy for health practices.
