Introduction. Health behaviours of nurses depend on external and personality factors, they are constantly changing under the influence of experience and acquired knowledge. Presenting the right attitudes towards health can have an impact on conducting effective health education.
Aim. Assessment of health-promoting behaviour and positive orientation among nurses.
Material and Methods. The research was carried out on a group of 79 nurses of the neurology and rehabilitation departments. The method of diagnostic survey was used with the use of the Health Behaviour Inventory (HBI) questionnaire, the Positive Orientation Scale questionnaire and the self-authored questionnaire.
Results. In the analysis of the HBI survey, sten 5 and 4 (36 people) obtained the highest number of respondents, which define the average level of health behaviours on the border of low; the highest rated were positive mental attitude and preventive behaviour, the lowest were health practices. In the Positive Orientation Scale, the greatest number of people obtained sten 4 and 6 (31 people) — the average level of positive orientation, the majority of respondents obtained average results in terms of attitude to the future (57 people). The positive orientation results remained in a statistically significant mean correlation with the results of health behaviours and positive mental attitude, and in a low correlation with the results of health practices (p < 0.05).
Conclusions. The respondents present an average level of health behaviours. Positive mental attitude and preventive behaviour were the most preferred. Most of the nurses showed a moderate level of positive orientation and an indifferent attitude to the future. (JNNN 2022;11(2):49–58).
