As to female students, the better grades and mother's educational backgrounds they possessed, the higher scores in health promoting behavior were(p〈0.01), the better grades, the higher in self-efficacy(p〈0.01), the better grades and mother's educational backgrounds, the higher self-respect(p〈0.05), and when the family number were 3 to 5 the highest score was. In case of male students, from the above results, economic status, self efficacy, self-respect, and perceived health status are presented as the crucial factors on health promoting behavior meaning the better economic status, self-efficacy, self-respect, and perceived health status, the higher degree of conducting health promoting behavior.

We attempted to identify the mediating effect of self-efficacy on the relationship between health perception, social support, and health promotion behaviors among university students and to provide basic data to improve health promotion behaviors. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire from a sample of 173 university students in City C. Health promotion behaviors according to general characteristics were found to have statistically significant differences in gender(t=3.892, p<.001) and major satisfaction(F=5.867, p=.003) .There was no statistically significant difference in age, grade, major field, hospitalization or surgery experience in the last three years, and economic activity. Health promotion behavior was positively correlated with health perception (r=.439, p<.001), social support (r=.532, p<.001), and self-efficacy (r=.533, p<.001) and was statistically significant. It was found that self-efficacy had a partial mediating effect (Z=3.964, p<.001) on the effect of health perception on health promotion behavior, and self-efficacy had a partial mediating effect (Z=4.24, p<.001) on the effect of social support on health promotion behavior. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the factors affecting health support, social support, and self-efficacy among college students and prepare intervention measures to improve health promotion behavior.

The content validity of the instrument was authenticated by a professor of the science of nursing, and reliability is proved to be 'cronbach' a 'after mortifying content through a pre-test on 37 students. The collected 452 persons' data is analyzed in terms of average, percentage, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson' s Correlation Coefficient. and Multiple Stepwise Regression by 'SAS 6.12'. The analyzed data is the following; 1. The higher self-efficiency, among cognitive-perceptual factors, has a beneficial effect on health promotion behavior(r=.0687, p=.0001). 2. The acting degree of health promoting behavior appeares to be middled at 3.39 points out of 6. 3. The degree of self-efficiency appears at 6.04 points out of 10. 4. The difference in health promoting behavior according to a subject's general factors is the following health concern of parents (p=0.01), higher health concern of parents, makes health promoting behavior higher. 5. The difference of self-efficiency according to subject's general factors is affected by the health concerns of parents(p=0.0044) and between groups(p=0.0001).
