Abstract
This study aims to investigate healthy lifestyle behaviors and the quality of life of lecturers working in different scientific fields. The present study included 491 (256 females; 235 males) lecturers working at Karadeniz Technical University. "Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale (HLBS) II" and "Centers for Disease Control Health Quality of Life Survey (CDC-HRQOL-4)" were used in the study. The relationship between HLBS sub-dimensions and quality of life (QoL) was examined by the horizontal cross-section multiple regression analysis methods. Lecturers working in the field of health sciences had a higher level of HLBS in the sub-dimensions of spiritual development, interpersonal interactions, and stress management than those working in other fields (p=0.007, p=0.008, p=0.028). QoL mental health scores of those working in the field of science were better than those of those working in other fields of science (p=0.026). There was a significant relationship between the health sciences and social sciences in the spiritual development (p=0.006) sub-dimension, and between the health sciences and sciences in stress management (p=0.023) and interpersonal relations (p=0.034) sub-dimensions when the HLBD sub-dimensions were examined according to the fields of science. According to the findings, lecturers in the field of health sciences had a higher level of HLBS than other fields of science, and others in the sciences had a better quality of life.
