Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Nursing Research
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The nursing profession is recognized as hazardous, with nurses frequently reporting adverse health outcomes.
  • While risk factors for poor health in nurses are documented, a comprehensive examination of prevalent work-attributable health conditions is lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a scoping review of quantitative studies to identify health conditions experienced by American nurses that may be linked to their profession.
  • To synthesize existing literature on the prevalence and nature of work-related health issues among nurses.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping review was performed adhering to Joanna Briggs Institute recommendations.
  • Inclusion criteria focused on peer-reviewed quantitative studies examining health conditions in American nurses.

Main Results:

  • Thirty articles were included, revealing a scarcity of studies specifically measuring the prevalence of health conditions among nurses.
  • Identified health conditions fell into six categories: injuries/hazards, unhealthy lifestyles, mental health, burnout, fatigue/sleep issues, and reproductive health.
  • Workplace factors like physical environment, job demands (physical, emotional, cognitive), and shiftwork were frequently cited as contributors to these health conditions.

Conclusions:

  • Healthcare systems must address workplace hazards and exposures impacting nurse health.
  • Mitigating the effects of work and the pandemic on nurses' health is vital for workforce sustainability.
  • Occupational health practitioners should proactively assess and manage workplace risks for nurses.
