? 2022 Elsevier Inc.Background: Despite numerous studies across the globe, most studies on Health-Promoting Lifestyle behaviours among nursing students were restricted to descriptive analysis with limited implications for nursing education and practice. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the level of health-promoting lifestyle behaviours, analyze their relationships and correlates among nursing students. Methods: Cross-sectional study was conducted among 270 nursing students in India. Socio-demographic profile and Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile-II scale were administered. Subscales inter-correlation were computed. Hierarchical multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the predictors of Health Promoting Behaviours. Results: Nursing students had modest level of health-promoting behaviours (131.57 ± 17.90). Physical activity had the lowest score (16.44 ± 4.31). Regression analyses showed health-related characteristics to have more influence on health-promoting behaviours than socio-demographic characteristics (p < 0.002). Nursing students with insufficient physical activity (AOR = 0.26; 95% CI: 0.13–0.52) had poor Health-promoting lifestyle profile than those with good physical activity. Conclusion: There is a need to strengthen the nursing curriculum and training environment to promote physical activity for nursing students to promote their health and empower them as future health promoters.
