The samples consisted of 244 staff members employed at Bangpakok 1 Hospital. Utilizing techniques of descriptive statistics, the researcher analyzed the data in terms of percentage, mean, and standard deviation. A t-test technique was used in analyzing the differences between two groups of variables.

In further testing, the researcher also utilized Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient (PPMCC) method. Statistical significance was set at the .05 level.
Findings were as follows:
- The staff members exhibited health promotion behaviors at a moderate level.
- The staff members who differed in harboring congenital diseases evinced concomitant differences in their health promotion behaviors at the statistically significant level of .05.
- The factors of perception of health held by the staff member’s perception of the benefits of health promotion behaviors; perception of obstacles to health promotion behaviors; and perception of health conditions were found to be positively correlated with health promotion behaviors at the statistically significant level of .05.
