| Summary: | Abstract This study aims to investigate the level of health-promoting lifestyles and its influencing factors in Chinese patients with colorectal polyps. A total of 169 colorectal polyps patients from three tertiary care hospitals in Nanchong and Deyang, China, were recruited. Data were collected using the Impact of Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II (HPLP-IIR), Colorectal Cancer Knowledge Questionnaire, Colorectal Cancer Health Belief Scale, the Chinese version of the Health Information Literacy Self-Rating Scale, and a demographic questionnaire. Factors influencing health-promoting lifestyles in patients with colorectal polyps were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The mean HPLP-IIR score was 96.02 ± 14.42, indicating a moderate level of health promotion. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the total score of health information literacy, colorectal cancer knowledge and health beliefs were significantly associated with the total score of health promotion lifestyle in Chinese patients with colorectal polyps (P < 0.001), explaining 36.1% of the total variance. The health-promoting lifestyle of colorectal polyp patients was at an intermediate level. Health information literacy, colorectal cancer health knowledge, and colorectal cancer health beliefs were identified as key factors influencing their health-promoting lifestyles. Efforts should focus on improving health information literacy, increasing colorectal cancer health knowledge, and promoting positive health beliefs to establish a better health-promoting lifestyle. |
