Pages

  190-227

Abstract

 Objectives: The main objectives of this study are to describe and explain GENDER & national differences in health related knowledge & beliefs, and their impacts on HEALTH BEHAVIORS of UNIVERSITY STUDENTS in IRAN (Mazandaran University) and INDIA (Panjab University), with special emphasis on psychosocial factors.Methods: Survey method is used for conducting the present study. By means of multi-stage sampling procedure, 504 students from both universities have been selected randomly, to fill up the self-administered questionnaire which consists of two scales regarding health related knowledge & beliefs ,and some questions about health-related behaviors such as personal hygiene, physical exercise, dietary habits, preventive medical checkups, alcohol consumption, and smoking.Results: The main findings of the present study can be summarized as follows: 1. The UNIVERSITY STUDENTS in INDIA compared with their counterparts in IRAN were more aware of risk factors involved in certain diseases (higher rates of HEALTH KNOWLEDGE), while male and female students did not differ in this respect. 2. The UNIVERSITY STUDENTS in both countries were not different in terms of HEALTH BELIEFS, though women compared with men students were more conscious of the importance of certain behaviors for health maintenance (higher rates of HEALTH BELIEFS). 3. Association between HEALTH KNOWLEDGE and health-related behaviors was found to be weak and non significant; whereas a very strong and significant association between HEALTH BELIEFS and health related behaviors was observed.Discussion: Improving HEALTH BELIEFS of students rather than their HEALTH KNOWLEDGE, is an essential step in order to increasing their positive health-related behaviors.
