The study explored the relationship between health promotion lifestyle and psychological stress, ways of coping, and demographic variables among hospital nurses. The Stress Process Model adapted from the works of Elliott and Eisdorfer (1982), Lazarus and Folkman (1984), and Pender (1987) provided the framework to guide the study. The Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile (HPLP), developed by Walker, Sechrist, and Pender (1987), was used to assess health promotion lifestyle. The Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WOCQ), developed by Folkman and Lazarus (1988), was used to assess ways of coping. The Daily Hassles Scale (DHS), developed by Lazarus and Folkman (1989), was used to assess psychological stress reactions. The tool used to assess demographic characteristics was developed by the researcher. The 264 subjects drawn from three randomly selected hospitals located in a south central state were licensed registered nurses employed at least 36 hours per week. Dependent measures included HPLP total and subscale scores. Results of correlation analysis revealed a significant relationship between HPLP and 18 of 38 independent variables. Stepwise regression produced a 12-variable model for prediction of HPLP. Multiple regression indicated that 32% of the variance in HPLP could be accounted for by those 12 variables. The frequency of endorsement of the top 10 hassles ranged between 61% and 77%, with a severity rating of 1.96, which approaches the moderately severe level. Results were discussed in relation to research and the Stress Process Model. The findings were consistent with research literature which supports the relationship between the constructs of health promotion lifestyle, psychological stress, ways of coping, and demographic variables. The findings also support the relationship between the concepts depicted in the Stress Process Model. It was concluded that the Stress Process Model may be useful in viewing the stress experience of nurses and that the 12-predictor model may be useful in prediction of HPLP. Implications for nursing education and nursing practice were presented. Recommendations for further research included studies to determine the effectiveness of interventions directed toward controlling psychological stress in nurses and longitudinal research to monitor health promotion behaviors of nurses.Subjects--Topical Terms:
