This
study was conducted for the purpose of evaluating the healthy lifestyle
behaviors of students at the Faculty of Education. The study sample consisted
of 300 students who receive education at the faculty of education. The
"Socio-demographic features form" and "Healthy Lifestyle
Behavior Scale II (HLBS)" were used in the data collection stage of the
study. The data were analyzed in the SPSS 23 environment using number, mean,
percentage, analysis of variance, t-test, and correlation analysis. The
Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests were used as nonparametric tests. In
order for the study to be carried out, the ethics committee approval from
Artvin Çoruh University Ethics Committee, written permission from the
institution where the study was conducted, and verbal approval from the
participants were obtained. According to the findings of the study, the
students’ point average for the HLBS was determined as 124.86 ± 1.092 points.
The healthy lifestyle behaviors of students do not differ according to gender,
family type, class, smoking, alcohol use and the presence of a chronic illness.
However, as the number of individuals and siblings in the family increases, the
healthy lifestyle behaviors of students decrease, and as the educational level
of the mother and the economic level increase, the healthy lifestyle behaviors
also increase. On the other hand, the educational level of the father is not
related to the healthy lifestyle behaviors of students. In the light of the
results of the study, it is suggested to carry out comparative studies with
wider samples that examine the healthy lifestyle behaviors of students.
