| description | Introduction: Inner strength is a factor for mental health and well-being and, consequently, a dynamic
component of holistic healing. Health-promoting behaviors are appropriate activities to improve health status and
prevent the progression of the functional defect resulting from heart failure. The present study aimed to determine
the correlation between inner strength and health-promoting behaviors in women with heart failure referred to
hospitals affiliated with Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences (SBMU) in 2013.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 145 women with hearth failure were selected through convenient
sampling from the clients referred to hospitals affiliated with SBMU. The data collection tool included a three- section questionnaire of personal characteristics, inner strength, and health-promoting life profile II (HPLP II).
The data analysis used descriptive statistical tests and Pearson correlation coefficient through SPSS version 20.
Results: A direct significant correlation was found between inner strength and all dimensions of health- promoting behaviors and overall health-promoting behaviors (p=0.000) as well as between all dimensions of
inner strength (except for the dimension of knowing and searching with physical activity and the dimension of
connectedness with personal accountability in healthcare as well as connectedness with physical activity) with
health-promoting behaviors (p=0.000 to p=0008).
Conclusion: To improve the level of health and well-being and reduce the costs of care services in women with
health failure, close attention should be paid to developing and empowering their inner strength. |
