Abstract:
We studied the relationship between the personal background of participants (365 individuals) in health promotion activities, in a rural community and the factors which affect effectiveness of their health promotion activities. Information gathered included education, whether or not employed, economic status, level of interest in participating in volunteer/welfare work, participation in other group activities, self-ratedhealth status, degree of satisfaction from the activities, self-esteem, self-efficacy, and self-actualization value.
The results were as follows:
1. The age and level of interest in volunteer/welfare work were related to an increased
degree of satisfaction from helth promotion the activities.
2. The degree of satisfaction from the activities and affluent circumstances are related to an increased degree of self-esteem.
3. The level of interest in volunteer/welfare work and participation in other group activities were related to the degree of self-efficacy.
4. The greater the age the less the degree of self-actualization value. On the other hand, the greater satisfaction from the activities, higher education and higher living standards were related to an increased degree of self-actualization value.
