Purpose: This study was planned to identify the determinants of healthy lifestyle behaviors of public bus drivers. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 116 public bus drivers. Data were collected with a personal information form and Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale. Student t-test and Variance analyses were used in independent groups to determine the difference between groups. Results: All of the participants were male, with an average age of 42.34 ± 9.49, 59.5% of whom were primary-secondary school graduates. Of the drivers with an average working year of 16.14±10.58, 78.4% reported that they worked in shifts, 69% for more than 11 years, and 91.4% of them worked at least 9 hours or more per day. The total score average of the drivers’ healthy lifestyle behaviors scale is 117.61 ± 23.20. It was determined that the drivers got the highest scores from the self-actualization subgroup and the lowest from the exercise, stress management and nutrition subgroups, respectively. The Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale mean score of those who defined their health well, those with high job satisfaction, those who did not have a traffic accident, and those whose working time was less than ten years was found to be higher than the other groups (p <0.05). Conclusion: It has been determined that the drivers’ healthy lifestyle behaviors are low.
