Abstrakt: Background and Aim: As in all chronic diseases, the health promoting behaviors are the basis in maintaining health in diabetes, as well. Accordingly, this study was conducted to determine the healthy lifestyle behaviors of the patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Method: This descriptive study was conducted with the patients who applied to the internal medicine and endocrinology outpatient clinics of two hospitals between August 2019 and January 2020. The sample of the study was composed of 174 patients diagnosed with diabetes. Before starting the study, approval from the ethical committee, permission from relevant institutions, and consent from the patients were obtained. The data of the study were collected using questionnaire and Healthy Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP) II. The total score of this scale varies between 52 and 208 and high score indicates positive HPLP. Descriptive statistics, Student t, One Way Anova, Mann Whitney U Test, and Kruskal Wallis tests were used for data analysis. Results: It was determined that 37.8% of the patients were diagnosed with diabetes for 1-5 years, 59.8% did not obey their diet, 60.9% did not do exercise regularly, 56.9% had sleep problems, 12.6% of them did not have medication adherence, diabetic neuropathy developed in 36.9% of them and 54.6% did not receive any training on diabetes. It was determined that HPLP II total mean score was 122.3±17.1 and HPLP II total mean score had a significant correlation with gender, educational status, receiving diabetes training, doing regular exercise, and dietary compliance (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was determined that the HPLP II score of the patients with diabetes was at medium level and this score was affected by some of the parameters related to the disease and their socio-demographic characteristics. Accordingly, it may be recommended for the diabetes training nurses not to ignore the characteristics of the patients affecting HPLP. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
