Abstract:
This paper provides a discussion of environmental strategies to improve health behaviors of nurses. Behavioral choices, partly due to social and environmental factors, influence risk of chronic disease. Strategies that modify environments are critical components of public health interventions, particularly those concerned with improving diet and physical activity. Nurses' health behaviors may be especially important, due to their influence as models when caring for patients. Modifications in work environments may enable nurses to acquire and maintain healthy behaviors.
