Kang SW, Yoo JS. International Journal of Nursing Practice 2012; 18 : 268–274 Health‐promoting lifestyle and depression in metabolic syndrome patients in Korea This cross‐sectional study assessed the association between health‐promoting lifestyle and depression in metabolic syndrome patients by using a questionnaire survey in Korea. Data were collected from 195 adults (> 20 years old) with hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes. The correlation coefficient (r) between health‐promoting lifestyle and depression was −0.309 ( P < 0.001), and correlation between individual lifestyle dimensions and depression varied from −0.135 to −0.391. The non‐depressed group had higher health‐promoting lifestyle scores than the depressed group ( P = 0.003). Scores for three dimensions of the health‐promoting lifestyle profile—self‐actualization ( P < 0.001), interpersonal support ( P = 0.001) and stress management ( P = 0.025)—were significantly higher in the non‐depressed groups. Logistic regression analysis provided an odds ratio of 2.766 ( P = 0.003) for health‐promoting lifestyle between the two groups. For patients with metabolic syndrome, depression was negatively associated with health‐promoting lifestyle and is an important factor affecting health‐promoting behaviour.
