Abstract

This study was performed to identify the factors associated with the participation status in the health promotion programs in a public health center. The subjects were 199 women who attended the baseline examination of the program had been progressed in the first half of 2009. The data were collected by structured interview and physical examination. The participation status was determined by the attending frequency of the program, and classified the non-participants (0) versus participants (1+ times), and poor participants (0-29 times) versus good participants (30+ times), separately. In multiple logistic analyses, separate analyses were undertaken to find the factors associated with participation status. Of 199 subjects, non-participants were 57 persons(28.6%), 28.1% was good participants. The factors with the participation status, identified by univariate analysis, were personal factors (age, educational level, marital status, religion, living with someone, monthly income), environmental factors (way to approaching the place, accessibility of other exercise facilities), body mass index, hypertension, perceived barriers to the healthy life, emotional salience, affectionate support and depression. As a result of multiple logistic regression analyses, way to approaching the place was the most significant factors with participation of health promotion program, and the factors associated with good participation of the program were emotional salience, hypertension and body mass index. Conclusively, our findings suggest that there are specific factors that can both decide and enhance participation in the health promotion programs in public health center. These factors should be considered in the design and evaluation of health promotion programs that are offered by public health center.
