大學生護心生活型態及其相關因素之探討
Heart-Protective Lifestyle and Related Factors Among University Students in Taiwan
摘要
大學生正處於成年早期，瞭解其健康生活型態及影響因素，有助於儘早養成護心生活型態。本研究旨在探討大學生護心生活型態及其相關因素，採用橫斷面研究，以方便抽樣招募個案，透過網路問卷和新生體檢數據，收集美國心臟學會評估項目，如膽固醇、血壓、血糖、身體質量指數（BMI）、飲食、吸煙、運動習慣及睡眠型態，同時收集個人特徵與健康信念等相關資料，再以描述性統計、獨立t檢定、單因子變異數分析、相關分析和階層迴歸進行分析。結果共招募337名個案，平均20.72歲（SD=0.18），92.0%為女性，63.8%主修護理，多數人的膽固醇、血壓、血糖、BMI和吸菸狀況在理想範圍內。然而，運動（4.2%）、飲食（6.2%）及睡眠（12.8%）僅有少數達到理想狀況。階層迴歸分析顯示「自覺整體健康狀況」（β= .185, p= .001）和「自覺從事護心生活型態的好處」（β= .148, p= .018）為護心生活型態行為的顯著預測因素。顯示對於大學生的介入策略，應著重於提升自覺健康感受和強調護心生活型態的好處，而非僅提升知識，以達到更好之成效。

Maintaining a heart-protective lifestyle plays a crucial role in cardiovascular health, particularly among university students. University students are individuals in the early adulthood stage, which is a crucial stage for developing healthy lifestyles. Understanding the lifestyles of university students and the factors affecting their cardiovascular health can help cultivate heart-protective habits during early adulthood. This cross-sectional study explored the heart-protective lifestyles, health beliefs, and related factors of students at a technology university. Students were evaluated using the American Heart Association's "Life's Simple 7" criteria, which comprise cholesterol level, blood pressure, blood sugar, body mass index, diet, smoking status, physical activity, and sleep patterns. Self-reported online questionnaires and physical examination data were collected, along with demographic and academic factors. Descriptive statistics and hierarchical regression analysis were used for data analysis. This study included a total of 337 participants, with a mean age of 20.72 years (standard deviation = 0.18). Approximately 92.0% of the participants were women, with 63.8% majoring in nursing. Most of the participants had normal cholesterol levels, normal blood pressure, normal blood sugar levels, normal body mass index, and normal smoking status. However, some participants had optimal physical activity levels (4.2%), had healthy dietary patterns (6.2%), and had high sleep quality (12.8%). Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that perceived health status (β = .185, p = .001) and perceived benefits of engaging in heart-protective lifestyles (β = .148, p = .018) were significant predictors of heart-protective lifestyle behaviors among university freshmen. Therefore, participants with more favorable perceived health status and greater recognition of the benefits of heart-protective lifestyles were more likely to exhibit heart-protective lifestyles. These findings suggest that the diet, physical activity, and sleep patterns of university students should be improved. Effective strategies aimed at ensuring healthy lifestyles should focus on knowledge, consider students' perceived health status, and emphasize the benefits of heart-protective lifestyles.
