Materials and Methods: In this descriptive, analytical study conducted in 2018-2019, a random sample of 173 students was selected. Data collection included a demographics form, the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II), and a self-efficacy questionnaire. The Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient, independent t, and one-way analysis of variance. Results: The average score of the health-promoting lifestyle was 58.22 ± 0.48.
