Research Abstract	By public health nurses, health guidance enhancing self-efficiency was given to a group of 29 people with high risk of contracting lifestyle diseases in order to modify health behaviors and to achieve improvement goals. They required health guidance to improve their lifestyles considering the result of health examinations. Results of the study show that 6 months later, 7 people achieved improvement goals and 22 people did not. Among the 7 people who achieved improvement goals, 5 were classified to lower position type of personality characteristic, 1 to dominant position type, and 1 to mixed type. The classification of 22 people who were not able to achieve their goals was 14 for dominant position type, 7 for mixed type, and 1 for lower position type.
