title: Health promotion practices of pregnant and nonpregnant women.
abstract: The purpose of this research was to study the health-promoting practices of pregnant and nonpregnant women and to examine the differences between the two groups. A descriptive correlational design was employed for this study. The Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile was used to measure health-promoting practices in the sample populations. Although there were no significant differences between health-promoting practices of pregnant and nonpregnant women in most areas, pregnant women scored significantly higher on the Nutrition subscale. This research suggests that all women need to increase the number of their health-promoting practices.
