Abstract
Background: The present research aims to describe the status of a health-promoting lifestyle among people afflicted with different types of cancer.Methods: The data of the present research were collected by (HPLPII) Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile questionnaire(1995) and the research sample size was 200 patients. The stratified random sampling method was used to select cancer patients in one private clinic and two governmental hospitals.Results: The findings showed that the patients were quite far from a health-promoting lifestyle and none of the health- promoting lifestyle indicators (physical activity, nutrition , stress management, etc.) was at a reasonable level among them. According to Chi-square test, all aspects of health (health responsibility, physical activity, nutrition, stress management and interpersonal relations), except the spiritual growth, significantly correlated with health-promoting lifestyle among the cancer patients.Conclusion: In accordance with the above-mentioned, a healthy nutrition was more associated with the health-promoting lifestyle for different cancer type among Iranian patients.Mahdavi kani M.
