Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II

The Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II) is a 52-item self-report instrument developed by Walker, Sechrist, and Pender in 1987 to assess and measure health-promoting behaviors across multiple life domains. Based on Pender's Health Promotion Model, the HPLP-II evaluates six dimensions of positive health behavior: Health Responsibility, Physical Activity, Nutrition, Spiritual Growth, Interpersonal Relations, and Stress Management. Unlike disease-focused instruments, the HPLP-II captures a comprehensive picture of wellness-oriented lifestyle practices. It is widely used in nursing research, health promotion program evaluation, population health assessment, and clinical practice to identify health strengths and areas for behavior change counseling.
