This study aimed to identify the convergence relationships among nutrition knowledge, health beliefs, diet self-efficacy, and diet management behaviors among Sri Lankans with hypertension (HTN). 91 adults diagnosed with HTN for more than one year participated in this study. A set of interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to assess general characteristics, nutrition knowledge, health beliefs, diet self-efficacy, and diet management behaviors. A stepwise multiple regression analysis was conducted to identify the factors that might influence diet management behaviors. There were statistically significant positive correlations between nutrition knowledge (r=0.26, p=.013), health beliefs (r=0.35, p=.001), diet self-efficacy (r=0.34, p=.001) and HTN diet management behaviors. Three variables, nutrition knowledge, health beliefs, and diet self-efficacy, explained 19.9% of the variance in HTN diet management behaviors (F=8.36, p=.001). Diet self-efficacy was the most significant influencing factor (${\beta}=.29$, t=2.75, p=.007), followed by nutrition knowledge (${\beta}=.25$, t=2.50, p=.014). The findings of this study can be used as valuable data for developing effective interventions to improve diet management behaviors of persons with HTN.

The purpose of this descriptive research study was to investigate health beliefs and self-efficacy in respiratory infection management as factors that affect the respiratory infection prevention behavior of college students. The subjects were 178 students attending a university in K city of Gyeongsangbuk-do. Data were collected with a structured questionnaire from September 1st to October 16th of 2020. The results of this study are as follows; Health belief was significantly different from participant's gender (t=-2.86, p=.005), major classification (F=2.95, p=.034), and taking any medications (t=2.18, p=.030). Self-efficacy in respiratory infection management was significantly different from university students' gender (t=-3.56, p=<.001) and major classification (F=4.59, p=.004). Health belief (r=.276, p<.001) and self-efficacy in respiratory infection management (r=.660, p<.001) had a positive correlation with respiratory infection preventive behavior. Multiple regression analysis results show that self-efficacy in respiratory infection management (β=.66, p<.001) significantly affected respiratory infection preventive behavior. The model had an explanatory power of 43%. The findings demonstrate that the major factor influencing the respiratory infection preventive behavior of university students is self-efficacy in respiratory infection management. Therefore, in order to promote behavior to prevent respiratory infection in college students, a program that can strengthen self-efficacy in respiratory infection management should be developed.
