Abstract (English): Introduction: Lifestyles comprise the set of habits and behaviors that influence individuals' health and well-being. When not properly adopted, they can contribute to the development of chronic diseases and a decline in quality of life. Objective: To describe health-promoting lifestyles among nursing students at a public university in the Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 2024. Materials and Methods: An analytical, cross-sectional, quantitative study was conducted. The study included 314 nursing students who completed Nola Pender's Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile - II. For the inferential analysis, Student's t-tests, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation test were applied. Results: Respondents had a mean age of 27.04 years (SD = 8.11); most were female (86.62%), single (76.43%), childless (73.25%), working (55.41%), and enrolled in the fourth year of the program (24.52%). Healthy ratings were observed in the dimensions of Spiritual growth and Interpersonal Relations, while the remaining dimensions were rated as unhealthy. The average lifestyle score was 124.97 points (SD = 20.49), equivalent to 60.08% of the instrument's total score. A total of 78.66% of respondents had a lifestyle categorized as regular. Discussion: It is necessary to implement interventions aimed at strengthening self-care practices among nursing students and identify the associated factors. Conclusion: Most of the respondents exhibited a regular lifestyle with high levels of physical inactivity, overweight, poor dietary habits, and inadequate stress management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Introducción: Los estilos de vida son el conjunto de hábitos y costumbres que influyen en la salud y bienestar de las personas; no aplicarlos adecuadamente puede llevar al desarrollo de enfermedades crónicas y un deterioro en la calidad de vida. Objetivo: Describir los estilos de vida promotores de salud en estudiantes de Enfermería de una universidad pública en la provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina en 2024. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio analítico, transversal y cuantitativo. Participaron 314 estudiantes de Enfermería quienes completaron el instrumento Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile -- II de Nola Pender. Para el análisis inferencial se aplicaron las pruebas T de Student, ANOVA y prueba de correlación de Pearson. Resultados: Los encuestados tuvieron una edad promedio de 27,04 años (DE: 8,11), y en su mayoría pertenecen al género femenino (86,62%), solteros (76,43%), sin hijos (73,25%), laboralmente activos (55,41%) y cursando el cuarto año del plan de estudios (24,52%). Se encontró una valoración saludable en las dimensiones Autorrealización y Relaciones Interpersonales, y poco saludable en las demás. El estilo de vida obtuvo un puntaje promedio de 124,97 puntos (DE=20,49) equivalente al 60,08% del puntaje total del instrumento. El 78,66% de los encuestados presentaron un estilo de vida categorizado como regular. Discusión: Se requiere implementar intervenciones orientadas a fortalecer las prácticas de autocuidado en los estudiantes de Enfermería e identificar los factores relacionados. Conclusión: En su mayoría los encuestados presentaron un estilo de vida regular con altos índices de inactividad física, sobrepeso, hábitos de alimentación deficientes e inadecuado manejo del estrés.
