Abstract

Aim and objective. To examine how prediabetes knowledge, health beliefs and self‐efficacy of health behaviour contribute to work site adults adopting a health‐promoting lifestyle and to analyse these three factors as independent variables to identify key predictors of adopting health‐promoting lifestyles. Background. Health providers use health‐promoting lifestyle interventions as the primary approach in preventing diabetes. However, many influential factors make it difficult for individuals to adopt a health‐promoting lifestyle. Furthermore, no previous study has examined prediabetes knowledge, health beliefs, self‐efficacy of health behaviour and health‐promoting lifestyle in work site adults with prediabetes, especially among Asians. Design. This was a cross‐sectional study of 260 adults at four work sites in southern Taiwan. Method. Patients with prediabetes were given a cross‐sectional questionnaire about prediabetes knowledge, health beliefs, self‐efficacy of health behaviour and health‐promoting lifestyle. Multiple stepwise regression analysis was used to determine predictors of implementing health‐promoting lifestyles. Results. In general, this study found that over age 45 and a BMI above 25 kg/m2 are risk factors for prediabetes. A 47·5% variance in implementing health‐promoting lifestyle was explained by a model that included self‐efficacy of health behaviour (beta = 0·519, p
