Abstract
the purpose of this study is to investigate the healthy lifestyle behaviors of female greenhouse workers and their perspectives on healthcare. This analytical cross-sectional study was performed in an important region for greenhouse cultivation, Menderes district of Izmir in Turkey using Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale (HLBS). The data were collected face-to-face through a questionnaire including the characteristics of individuals and HLBS. The scores of HLBS were calculated. Frequencies, percentages were used for statistical analyses and Chi-square procedure to show statistically significant bivariate relationships. It was determined that 68% of women are satisfied with working in greenhouses. Almost 96% of women are not optimistic about the future. Out of all 28% women do not have social security opportunities. Healthy lifestyle behaviors are related with having social security opportunities or not (p=0.040). The general score of the healthy lifestyle behaviors is at a medium level (99.9±14.4). The most frequently applied health behavior is self-realization (30.7 ± 6.3) and the least one is exercise (6.9 ± 2.4). This study shows that the education of women working in greenhouses, providing awareness about health care and the social security opportunities should be considered on a preferential basis. Additional studies of health promoting lifestyle among rural women in greenhouses in Turkey are highly required for improvement.
