Brief Summary

Background: With the trend of aging population and increasing demand for long-term care, Taiwan's long-term care 2.0 policy places special emphasis on home care services to achieve the goal of local aging. This study focused on the health-promoting behaviors home care attendants and applied Pender's health promotion model theory to investigate the impact of home care attendants' self-perceived health and health literacy on health-promoting behaviors. Objective: To investigate the current status of home care attendants' health-promoting behaviors and the correlation between self-perceived health and health literacy. Methodology: A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 150 eligible home care attendants in the northern region using self-perceived health, health literacy, and health-promoting behaviors scales. Multiple regression analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the independent variables and the dependent variables. Expected contribution: The results of this study will help to understand the current status of health-promoting behaviors of home care attendants and the correlation with their self-perceived health and health literacy. It will also help to understand whether home care attendants have sufficient health literacy to maintain or improve their health status, and to understand the areas in which home care attendants' health-promoting behaviors are still inadequate, so as to suggest effective methods or strategies to improve health-promoting behaviors in the future.
