Action note: In: Summary: ABSTRACT. This research was conducted to analyze the transcultural wellness lifestyle of respondent nationals across seven countries namely; Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, Australia, and New Zealand. It identified the profile of the respondents in terms of demographic variable (age, civil status, and gender), cultural dimension (educational, economic, political, religious, social, and technological) and transcultural wellness lifestyle in terms of stress management patterns, physical activity patterns, nutritional patterns, and chemical independence. It showed the relationship between the transcultural wellness lifestyle and the demographic and cultural variables. This study aimed to know if there is a significant difference in the transcultural wellness lifestyle of the respondents across seven countries. A descriptive study was applied to this research. Using purposive sampling, the researcher got 30 samples from each of the seven countries: Phuket, Thailand; Penang, Malaysia; Manila, Philippines: west part of Singapore; Bali, Indonesia; Cairns, Australia and Auckland, New Zealand. In total, this study had 210 respondents, all of which are native of their respective country, between 18 to 45 years old from all sexes and who can understand and read English. The respondents were handpicked by the researcher in the city proper, department stores, parks, and hotels. They were given questionnaire which they answered within one hour. Each question was given an equivalent points. The statistics that were used to analyze and interpret the data were Frequency percentage, Mean, Standard Deviation, Chi-square and single factor ANOVA. After summarizing the gathered data, the general profile of the respondent from the seven countries in terms of demographic variables is that majority of them are from the age group 18 to 21 years old, female and are single in status. Based on their cultural profile, majority of the respondents are high school or secondary course graduate and can speak two languages, they have regular work and are earning just enough income every month. The basis of law in most the countries is penal sanctions and peace and order is present most of the time. Majority of the respondents are Buddhist and most of them seldom attend religious activities and worship, most of them live alone or with their own family. Majority of the respondents do not have a child. The significant technology in the countries where this study was conducted is industrialization and most of them are living in an urban area. Most of the respondents are on the average level of wellness in terms of stress management pattern, nutritional pattern, and chemical independence. However they are on the less than average wellness level in terms of physical activity pattern. The study showed that there was no significant relationship between transcultural wellness lifestyle of the respondents across seven countries and demographic variable. Only cultural variables specifically educational attainment, presence of peace and order, number of children and monthly income affect transcultural wellness lifestyle of the respondents. It also showed that there are differences in the transcultural wellness lifestyle of the respondents from seven countries in terms of stress management patterns, nutritional patterns and chemical independence. Therefore, the ultimate determinant of the quality of life are the decisions made by each person. The demographic variables which are not a result of man's choice but is given since birth do not affect the trancultural wellness lifestyle of the respondents. However, the cultural dimension which are results of man's doing and can be altered by man affect the transcultural wellness lifestyle of the respondents. Most vital to consider in the transcultural wellness lifestyle is the diversity in culture. It was again proven that there are differences among the respondent nationals. Other editions:
