Summary
Nursing professionals face health risks due to demanding work conditions. This review explores the links between diet, physical activity, body mass index (BMI), and mental health in nurses.
Area of Science:
- Occupational Health
- Nursing Science
- Public Health
Background:
- Nursing well-being is often overlooked compared to patient well-being.
- Nurses experience significant pressure, resource limitations, and challenging work schedules.
- These factors expose nurses to various health risks.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the connections between diet, physical activity, body mass index (BMI), and mental health among nurses.
- To synthesize existing literature on these relationships within the nursing profession.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive literature search was conducted using the Medline (PubMed) database.
- Keywords included "Diet," "Mental Health," "Physical Activity," and "Nurses."
- The search was limited to studies published before December 31, 2020.
Main Results:
- Eleven studies were included in this perspective review.
- The review identified and defined relationships between diet, physical activity, and mental health in nursing.
- Significant differences in mental and eating disorders were noted between day and night shift nurses.
Conclusions:
- The nursing profession disrupts natural circadian rhythms due to 24/7 operations.
- Night shift work is associated with higher levels of mental and eating disorders among nurses.
- The nursing role can be characterized as "inductive inflammatory-chronic" activity.
