Abstract
Wanich Suksatan, Jatuporn Ounprasertsuk
Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) are a major health issue worldwide. However, health�promoting behaviors have been shown to enhance the quality of life across diverse populations. This descriptive cross-sectional study aimed to examine the health-promoting behaviors and related factors among chronic disease patients in a rural community. In total, 172 people were calculated using the G*Power program. We used Pearson correlation coefficient and Chi-square test to analyze the data. Current study found that 86% of patients with chronic diseases had a moderate level of overall health-promoting behaviors. With regards to factors associated with health-promoting behavior, the significant related variable (p < 0.05), included age, education level, monthly income, and social support. Based on these results, we suggest that healthcare providers and public health sectors should encourage and promote healthy behavior and improve self-care in patients with chronic diseases.
