Description
Breslow et al. reported in 1972 that lifestyle affects physical and mental health. Since then, a research on daily habits and health has increased its number in Japan. and surveys of collegians for the relationship between lifestyles and health have revealed that those having desirable lifestyles enjoy good health with less absences. In Korea, however, there are few researches of this type. Researches on daily habits of students who will take up the nursing profession in the future are important since some studies indicated that health care behavior of nurses strongly influences that of their patients. In order to investigate the relationship between lifestyles/daily habits and subjective levels of health in Japan and Korea, we conducted a survey of Japanese and Korean nursing students. The health questionnaire used for the survey was the Okayama Medical Index (OMI), which is considered to be highly reliable as the Cronbach's alphas, reliability coefficients based on internal consistency, fall within the range from 0.98 to 0.71. The mean age was higher in the Korean group of the sample, 22.69 years old, compared with 20.41 for the Japanese group. After adjustment for the age, it was indicated that more Korean students were leading more desirable lifestyles in terms of sleeping hours and smoking than their Japanese counterparts. For the subjective health status, more Korean students had complaints in 10 out of 15 items representing general physical symptoms and in 33 among 64 individual organ-related symptom items than Japanese students. No significant difference was observed in phychological traits between the two groups.
