Summary

Interventions promoting diet and physical activity (PA) in nurses show promising but inconsistent results. Higher quality studies with objective measures are needed to confirm effectiveness in improving nurses' health behaviors.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Research
  • Public Health Interventions
  • Lifestyle Behavior Change

Background:

  • Healthcare professionals, including nurses, often face demanding work environments that can negatively impact their health behaviors.
  • Promoting healthy lifestyles among nurses is crucial for their well-being and for providing quality patient care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review the effectiveness of interventions designed to improve diet and physical activity (PA) among nurses.
  • To synthesize findings from existing studies to identify successful strategies and areas for improvement.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple databases (PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, EMBASE) for English language manuscripts published between 1970 and 2014.
  • Studies focusing on nurses or student nurses with diet and/or PA behaviors as primary outcomes were included. Interventions for chronic condition treatment were excluded.
  • Data from nine eligible studies (n=737 nurses) were extracted and synthesized using a narrative summary and tabular format.

Main Results:

  • Four studies reported increased self-reported physical activity (PA) through structured exercise and goal setting.
  • Dietary outcomes were generally positive but assessed in only three studies with methodological limitations.
  • Two studies indicated improved body composition, though without significant changes in diet or PA.

Conclusions:

  • Interventions aimed at modifying nurses' PA and dietary behaviors show potential but yield inconsistent outcomes.
  • There is a need for more rigorous, higher-quality intervention studies.
  • Future research should incorporate objective and validated outcome measures, alongside appropriate process evaluations.
