Abstract

Objectives of the Study This study aimed to determine the correlation between the perceived spiritual well-being of nursing students and their health-promoting lifestyle. In particular, this study established the following research questions: “What is the profile of the respondents in terms of sex, year level, and religion?”, “What is the perceived spiritual well-being of DLSMHSI nursing students?”, “What is the level of engagement of DLSMHSI nursing students in performing healthpromoting lifestyle behaviors?”, “Is there a significant difference on the perceived spiritual well-being of nursing students when grouped according to sex, year level, and religion?”, “Is there a significant difference on the health promoting-lifestyle of nursing students when grouped according to sex, year level, and religion?”, and “Is there a significant relationship between the perceived spiritual well-being and the health-promoting lifestyle of nursing students?”.

Methodology The descriptive correlational method was utilized in the study and the recommended sample size of 300 was computed using Cochran’s. A survey questionnaire comprising a demographic profile of the respondents, and the adopted instrument of Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS) and Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II) was the research instrument utilized to collect data. The data was collected through Google Forms in a face-to-face setting. The study employed one-way ANOVA, independent t-test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient.

Major Findings The following results acquired from the study: The demographic data revealed that, of the 298 respondents, the majority are female (73.2%), 1st year level (32.9%), and Roman Catholic (81.5%). The overall spiritual well-being score (x̄=72.57; SD=4.875) of respondents indicates that they experience moderate spiritual well-being. The level of engagement on the health-promoting lifestyle behaviors of the respondents resulted in a score (x̄ =141.84; SD=24.358) that corresponded to a good level of engagement in healthpromoting lifestyle behavior. In the overall perceived spiritual well-being of respondents none of the comparisons among sex, year levels, and religion present a significant difference (p>0.05). In terms of level of engagement in healthpromoting lifestyle, it has revealed a significant difference in the overall healthpromoting lifestyle behavior only in terms of both sex and year levels with p-values of p=0.014 and p=0.004 respectively.

Conclusions The following conclusions were made from the findings of the study: The majority of the respondents revealed a moderate level of perceived spiritual well-being while health-promoting lifestyle behavior, the respondents demonstrated a good level of engagement. Spiritual well-being has no statistical significance in terms of sex, year level, and religion. On the other hand, healthpromoting lifestyle has a significant difference in terms of sex and year level. Lastly, Spiritual Well-being and Health-Promoting Lifestyle are correlated with one another, thus SWB affects HPL.
