One of the factors affecting nursing care quality is the ability of nurses to have more control over improving and maintaining their health. This research was conducted to specify the relationship between health-promoting behaviors and nursing care quality. The present research was a cross-sectional descriptive-correlation study. The data were provided using a demographic questionnaire, a health-promoting behaviors questionnaire (HPLP-II), and a researcher-made questionnaire of the nursing care quality (from the patient's point of view). The obtained data was analyzed by SPSS software version 23. From the viewpoint of more than half of the people, the nursing care quality was good. The highest average score was reported in the “responsibility” dimension and the lowest average score was reported in the “physical activity” dimension. The total average score of the quality of nursing care was 3.10 (±0.45). The highest average score was reported in the field of “nursing ethics” and the lowest average score was reported in the field of “patient education”. Based on the results, health-promoting behaviors just in the nutrition dimension had a statistically significant correlation with the nursing care quality in the nursing ethics dimension which was a negative correlation (p = 0.027). Based on the findings, between health-promoting behaviors in nurses and quality was no significant relationship with nursing care from the patient's point of view, but in general, the nursing care quality was evaluated as good. Considering the low score of physical activity of nurses and patient education, it is recommended to implement educational programs and emphasize the importance of these things.
