Abstract: (127 Views)
Aim: A healthy lifestyle is a crucial modifiable risk factor in breast cancer prevention. This study aimed to identify predictors of health-promoting behaviors based on the self-regulation model among breast cancer patients in northern Iran.
Instrument & Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted in 2021 with 260 breast cancer patients. The questionnaire assessed demographic characteristics, disease status, psychosocial factors related to the self-regulation model, health-promoting behaviors, and patients' attitudes toward their health. Data were analyzed using correlation coefficients and multivariate linear regression.
Findings: The average age of participants was 52.6 years (± 10.6). A direct correlation was found between perceived treatment effectiveness and all domains of health-promoting behaviors. The multivariate regression model indicated that perceived treatment effectiveness significantly predicts health-promoting behaviors, including a healthy diet (β = 0.20, p = 0.016), vitamin consumption (β = 0.21, p = 0.002), and performing mammography (β = -0.26, p = 0.001).
Conclusion: These findings indicate that perceived treatment effectiveness is closely linked to enhanced health-promoting behaviors, irrespective of treatment status. Incorporating training in self-regulation processes within palliative care may foster healthier lifestyles among patients. This study underscores the importance of culturally sensitive health interventions in breast cancer management.
