Objective:To explore the health behavior of middle-aged and young stroke patients and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:From April to July 2023, convenience sampling was used to select 172 middle-aged and young stroke patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University as the research subject. A survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Health Behavior Scale for Stroke Patients, Health Belief Scale, and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. Spearman correlation was used to analyze the correlation between health behavior, social support, and health beliefs among middle-aged and young stroke patients. Multiple linear regression was used to analysis the influencing factors of health behavior among middle-aged and young stroke patients. A total of 172 questionnaires were distributed, and 8 questionnaires with missing items and short response times were excluded, and 164 valid questionnaires were collected, with a valid response rate of 95.34%.Results:Among 164 middle-aged and young stroke patients, the total score of the Health Behavior Scale for Stroke Patients was 64.50 (57.00, 80.75), and the average score of the items was 2.58 (2.28, 3.23). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that factors affecting the health behavior of middle-aged and young stroke patients were whether it was the first onset, the time required to reach nearby medical institution, health belief, and social support ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The health behavior of middle-aged and young stroke patients is above the medium level. In the process of intervening in the health behavior of middle-aged and young stroke patients, medical and nursing staff should pay attention to patients with recurrent stroke and poor access to medical services, while also improving patients' health belief and social support to promote patients' health behavior and reduce stroke recurrence.
