Methods: A cross-sectional design, 132 nursing students from a private university in North Sulawesi Province, convenience sampling. Instrument was HPLP-II. Analyzed using independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, hierarchical linear regression. Results: Highest mean score was in spiritual growth with a mean of 2.89 (SD=0.47), while health responsibility had lowest score of 1.95 (SD=0.46). Overall lifestyle score was 2.41 (SD=0.33). Regression analysis revealed that variables exercise (ß=0.251; p=0.004), religiosity (ß=0.245; p=0.005), history of COVID-19 infection (ß=0.169; p=0.043), COVID-19 vaccination status (ß=0.179; p=0.032) significantly predicted healthpromoting lifestyle behaviors, with an explanatory power of 18.4%.
