Abstract
Objective: Examination of predictive factors healthy lifestyle behaviours and compare coping styles with stress of adolescents with and without
Hearing Loss (HL).
Methods: A comparative cross‐sectional design was employed. The participants comprise high school students with (n= 272) and without
(n= 272) HL. Participants completed questionnaires on coping styles with stress and Adolescent Lifestyle Profile Scale 2 (ALP-R2). Descriptive
statistics, chi-square, t-test, and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the responses given to the above instruments.
Results: Adolescents without HL (116.46±16.89) had significantly higher scores on the lifestyle profile scale than another group (113.68±16.12)
(p<.000). The difference in coping styles (pray, hobbies and exercise etc.) with stress of two group was determined (p<.000). According to
multiple linear regression analysis, independent variables explained 27% of the change in adolescent lifestyle profile in adolescents with HL
(R2=.273). BMI (β=-.258), economic status (β=-.439), and mother education level (β=.146) were significant predictors affecting lifestyle profile
in adolescents with HL. Also, independent variables explained 17% of the change in adolescent lifestyle profile in adolescents without HL
(R2=.170). BMI (β=-.327) and economic status (β=-.233) were significant predictors in adolescents without HL.
Conclusion: Lifestyle profiles of adolescents with HL are lower than those without HL. Adolescents with HL are more vulnerable in terms
of a lifestyle behaviours and coping style with stress. By using these findings, nurses can make school-based interventions on positive life
perspective, stress management to increase lifestyle profiles.
