Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of health-promoting lifestyle in the relationship between destruction meta-cognition beliefs and corona anxiety. The research method was correlation of the type structural equation modeling. The population of this study included all Undergraduate students Poldokhtar Higher Education Center who were studying in the academic year 2020-2021. 230 students participated in this study online and respond to corona disease anxiety scale (Alipour, Ghadami, Alipour and Abdollahzadeh), meta-cognations questionnaire-30 (Wells and Cartwright-Hatton), and health promoting lifestyle profile (Walker, Sechrist and Pender). The results of data analysis by structural equation method showed that the destruction meta-cognition beliefs had a direct and positive effect on corona anxiety; but it did not have a direct effect on a health-promoting lifestyle. Also, health-promoting lifestyle had a negative effect on corona anxiety. Indirect results showed that a health-promoting lifestyle could not mediate the relationship between destruction meta-cognition beliefs and corona anxiety. In order to reduce corona anxiety in students, it is important for professionals to consider promoting personal and spiritual growth, positive and constructive communication with others, taking responsibility for health, as well as reducing destruction meta-cognition beliefs.
