Abstract

This current study aimed to analyze the relationship between perception of health, lifestyle and occupational behavior of college students. The perception of health was evaluated using a categorical variable with scale ranging from ‘Very good to Very bad’. The lifestyle and occupational behavior were evaluated from the instruments “Fantastic Lifestyle” for young adults and “Self-Assessment of Occupational Functioning”. The data underwent descriptive analysis and correlation, having a 5% level of confidence. The sample was composed of 56 college students predominantly of women (87.5%) with mean age of 20 and enrolled in health courses (85.7%). Of these students, 38.2% perceive their health as being from “Regular to Really bad” and 10.7% have lifestyle classified from ‘It needs improvement to good’. There was difference between lifestyle and health perception (p=0.016), indicating that students who perceive their health as “very bad to regular” have lifestyle “good improvement need”. The perception of health and occupational functioning was different for the components: habits (p=0.028) and environment (p=0.040). When comparing occupational functioning with the lifestyle, was no difference in causality staff (p=0.039), values (p=0.001), interests (p=0.001) and roles (p=0.000). Significant associations were found between negative self-perception of health with a worse lifestyle and occupational behavior.
