Abstract
Background and Aims: One of the effective factors in the academic progress of students is academic self-efficacy, which in turn is governed by different factors. This research was aimed to investigate the relationship between health promoting components and academic self-efficacy among students in Ahvaz University of Medical Sciences.
Materials and Methods: The current study was carried out by field method in 2023. The statistical population consisted of 1790 students affiliated by Ahvaz University of Medical Sciences. Based on Morgan's table, the sample size was determined to be 317 people. Accordingly, three questionnaires (stress, nutrition, responsibility towards mental health and public health) were used. The Spearman's correlation and multiple linear regression tests were considered. Compliance with ethical considerations was considered in all stages of the study.
Results: The results showed that the stress component (with the variable age group of 22 to 25 and 59% female gender) had the greatest effect on academic self-efficacy with a significant inverse correlation and a beta coefficient of 0.645. Three variables of nutrition (0.638), taking responsibility for mental health (0.564), and public health (0.615) showed a positive and significant correlation with academic self-efficacy. According to the results, health promoting components were able to significantly predict 58% of the variance of academic self-efficacy in students.
Conclusion: There is a significant and positive relationship between academic self-efficacy and health-enhancing components (stress, nutrition, public health and responsibility for mental health). It means that the presence of health-enhancing components in students advance their self-efficacy beliefs.
