| Popis: | Nurses with obesity will lead to health problems as well as their high turnover rate and low retention rate.This study explored the associations with female nurses' work stress, social support and overweight/obesity, and tried to find the predictors of the female nurses' overweight/obesity.The study applied a cross-sectional and correlational design.The results of this study showed that "regular exercise frequency lower than or equal to 2 days a week", "rotating night shifts greater than or equal to 4 times a month", "nursing working hours higher than 44 hours a week", "high work stress", and "low social support" were the main predictors of "overweight/ obesity".Conducting workshops were recommended to nurse managers to motivate female nurses' exercise frequency, remind female nurses of keeping a healthy diet during night shifts, and provide female nurses with some relaxing skills to release their work stress. |
