Abstract:
Objective:To define the concept of proactive health behavior.Methods:Literature related to proactive health behavior was retrieved from China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Ovid databases, with a retrieval time frame from database inception to March 1, 2025. Walker and Avant's concept analysis method was used to analyze the concept of proactive health behavior.Results:A total of 46 articles related to proactive health behavior were included. Proactive health behavior encompasses five key attributes: self-initiation, long-term persistence, multidimensional integration, future orientation, and overcoming barriers. Antecedents include individual factors, supportive factors, and environmental factors. Outcomes include promoting individual health and improving quality of life, enhancing personal health literacy, reducing disease burden, and fostering a proactive health atmosphere.Conclusions:The concept attributes of proactive health behavior were clarified through concept analysis. Future researchers may develop proactive health behavior assessment tools and construct intervention strategies based on their connotation.
