Abstract

This study aimed to determine the healthy lifestyle behaviors of students at a university in Mogadishu, Somalia. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 347 university students >16 in Mogadishu, Somalia, from October to December 2020. The data were collected by using a self-administered questionnaire and the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II (HPLP-II) Scale throughout that period. Demographic characteristics and health- promoting lifestyle were evaluated. T-test, Anova, post hoc (Tukey, LSD) and multiple regression analysis were used for statistical analyses. The healthy lifestyle behavior point averages of the students were found to be at a medium level (125.8±24.60). A significant difference was found in the total mean HPLP-II scores by gender, age, diagnosis of health problems, and exercise habits (p<0.05). The data showed significant associations among some subscales of the HPLP-II, gender, age, education level of mother, income status and have a chronic health problem, while participating in sporting activities was found to be statistically significant with all subscales of the HPLP-II (p < 0.05). Students’ lifestyle behaviors were found to be moderately healthy. Intervention studies are needed to support Somali students in making healthy lifestyle choices and improve their health promotion attitudes.

索马里摩加迪沙大学生促进健康的生活方式及其决定因素
本研究旨在确定索马里摩加迪沙一所大学学生的健康生活方式行为。2020年10月至12月,在索马里摩加迪沙的347名大学生中进行了一项横断面研究。在此期间,数据是通过自我管理问卷和健康促进生活方式概况- ii (HPLP-II)量表收集的。评估人口统计学特征和促进健康的生活方式。统计学分析采用t检验、方差分析、事后分析(Tukey, LSD)和多元回归分析。学生健康生活方式行为点平均值(125.8±24.60)处于中等水平。不同性别、年龄、健康问题诊断和运动习惯的HPLP-II总平均得分差异有统计学意义(p<0.05)。数据显示,HPLP-II的部分分量表与性别、年龄、母亲受教育程度、收入状况、是否有慢性健康问题存在显著相关性,而参加体育活动与HPLP-II的所有分量表存在显著相关性(p < 0.05)。学生的生活方式行为为中等健康。需要进行干预研究,以支持索马里学生选择健康的生活方式,并改善他们促进健康的态度。
