“…[i] Clinical Health Outcomes: Self-report measures of general health were more often used and included the Short-Form Survey (SF) [67,130,133,147,168,183,186], the Symptom Checklist (SCL-90) [147,150,157], the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) [72,100,126,146,160], the Pennebaker Inventory of Limbic Languidness [176], and the Standard Shift-work Index [177].…”

A small number of studies used objective measures of PA (see below).…”

Background: Prior research has investigated various strategies to improve health, wellbeing and the job-related outcomes of nurses. However, the scope of this evidence is not clear and the types of intervention most likely to have positive outcomes are unknown. Objective: To provide an overview and synthesis of the effectiveness of interventions conducted with the goal of improving health, wellbeing and the job-related outcomes of nurses. Methods: A systematic database search was conducted from January 2000 to December 2018, with pre-defined criteria (Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials; MEDLINE and PubMed; EMBASE; CINAHL; PsycINFO; and BioMed Central). In total, 136 intervention studies with a total sample of 16,129 participants (range 9–3381) were included and evaluated. Data extraction, quality assessment and risk of bias analyses were performed. Results: Studies included randomised controlled trials (RCTs; n = 52, 38%), randomised crossover design studies (n = 2, 1.5%) and non-randomised pre-post studies with a control group (n = 31, 23%) and without a control group (n = 51, 37.5%). The majority of interventions focused on education, physical activity, mindfulness, or relaxation. Thirty-seven (27%) studies had a multimodal intervention approach. On average, studies had relatively small samples (median = 61; mode = 30) and were conducted predominantly in North America (USA/Canada, n = 53). The findings were mixed overall, with some studies reporting benefits and others finding no effects. Dietary habits was the most successfully improved outcome (8/9), followed by indices of body composition (20/24), physical activity (PA) (11/14), and stress (49/66), with >70% of relevant studies in each of these categories reporting improvements. The lowest success rate was for work-related outcomes (16/32). Separate analysis of RCTs indicated that interventions that focus solely on education might be less likely to result in positive outcomes than interventions targeting behavioural change. Conclusions: Interventions targeting diet, body composition, PA, or stress are most likely to have positive outcomes for nurses’ health and/or wellbeing. The methodologically strongest evidence (RCTs) is available for body composition and stress. Interventions relying solely on educational approaches are least likely to be effective. Organisational outcomes appear to be more challenging to change with lifestyle intervention, likely requiring more complex solutions including changes to the work environment. There is a need for more high-quality evidence since many studies had moderate or high risk of bias and low reporting quality.

“…The most power of this research was its emphasis on the effects of a webbased smartphone application intervention program that automatically supports stress management and reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety. This research added to evidence of the effect of the e-stress management program on positive outcome namely on participation and nurse's performance Tsai et al [15] conducted their research to evaluate the effect of health promotion on Health interventions among nurses compared to conventional learning handbooks. The research was conducted on 105 nurses, 55 in the experimental group and 60 in the control group, for three months of intervention.…”

Nursing is a profession that focuses on caring for patients individually, family, or community so that the nurses must be able to prevent, maintain, or restore optimal health and quality of life. Rapid and unpredictable health services placed nurses to occupational-related diseases especially musculoskeletal pain, stress, and obesity condition which can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the systematic review is to examine the literature on the effective interventions to decrease the occupational-related diseases in nurses. This systematic review was carried out by summarizing the preferred reporting items for literature from January 2014 to June 2019, which produced five articles. The articles were accessed from the internet search engine database; Proquest, EBSCO, and Science Direct. From the five articles reviewed, it was found that three interventions to reduce the occupationalrelated diseases: physical exercise at work, stress management, nutrition and exercise programs in Health education. In conclusion, this review show that single and combination interventions do indeed decrease stress, musculoskeletal pain, and risk of cardiovascular diseases in nurses. However, there is a need for stronger methodological studies to define the most effective and sustainable interventions for each occupationalrelated disease.

“…In addition, due to their weak health promotion, they often suffer from anxiety, headache, and digestive and sleep problems. Heavy workloads result in an imbalance between life and work (9, 10). In addition, the stressful work environment and inappropriate work conditions as well as insufficient wages and salary significantly affect nurses’ health status (11).…”

BackgroundNurses’ health is often accompanied by various dangers due to the nature of their career. Therefore, it is required to monitor their health. Based on designing any system, users’ views should be investigated relative to the usefulness, necessity and acceptance of the system. Then, a designing and implementing process is conducted.ObjectiveTo investigate nurses’ views on accepting the creation of a Nurses’ Health Monitoring System.MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted in 2015. Sample size was 586 nurses of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences. Sampling was conducted using multi-stage random sampling method. Research tool was a two-section researcher-made questionnaire. In the first section, demographic data were studied and in the second section, a twelve-item questionnaire was presented based on technology acceptance model. Five-item questions were regulated on perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEU) and views towards creating this system. Validity of the questionnaire was approved by content validity and content validity index and its reliability was approved by Cronbach’s alpha. Data were analyzed using SPSS16 and descriptive statistics (frequency distribution, percentage, mean).ResultsThe majority of participants (75.3%) were females between 25–35 years of age (44.4%) and (58.2%) were married. Mean work experience was 11.5±8.19. Mean perceived usefulness (PU) (17.36±2.66) and perceived ease of use (PEU) (16.75±2.65) and views towards using a Nurses’ Health Monitoring System was (16.220±3.05).ConclusionOver two-thirds of nurses demonstrated perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use as well as positive views towards creating a nurses’ health monitoring system. It is recommended to design and implement a nurses’ health monitoring system based on local culture of Iranian nurses using IT in the health sector.
