“…Nurses with higher BMIs reported consuming less healthy diets than nurses with lower BMIs (Beebe, Chang, Kress, & Mattfeldt-Beman, 2017). There is conflicting evidence regarding age, as increasing age has been associated with increases as well as decreases in health-promoting behaviours (Kurnat-Thoma, El-Banna, Oakcrum, & Tyroler, 2017;McCarthy, Wills, & Crowley, 2018;Perry et al, 2018;Thacker, Stavarski, Brancato, Flay, & Greenawald, 2016).…”

“…For example, medical-surgical and telemetry nurses reported participating in more health-promoting behaviours than did critical care nurses (McElligott, Siemers, Thomas, & Kohn, 2009). Staff nurses reported participating in fewer health-promoting behaviours than did nurse managers (Thacker et al, 2016). Nurses' professional quality of life may impact health-promoting behaviours; nurses who enjoyed their work, measured as higher compassion satisfaction scores, participated in more health-promoting behaviours, while those with higher levels of burnout participated in fewer (Neville & Cole, 2013).…”

“…To our knowledge, there are no studies assessing the physical activity and self-perceived wellness of office-based care coordination nurses. As nurses comprise the largest workforce in the hospital-affiliated care coordination program, and as a majority of the nurses’ work in the program is sedentary, and as prior literature showing poor health habits—including low physical activity levels—in nurses ( Bakhshi et al, 2015 ; Perry et al, 2018 ; Thacker et al, 2016 ), the objective of this study was to describe and compare the physical activity levels of nursing and non-nursing healthcare workers in an office-based care coordination program. In addition, given the known associations between physical activity, wellness, and mental health, we further sought to assess self-reported wellness markers, including quality of life, work-related quality of life, happiness, overall well-being, and health status.…”

Introduction Sedentary work is associated with poor health outcomes. Many healthcare occupations, including office-based care coordination, are largely sedentary. Many nurses do not achieve the recommended levels of daily physical activity, however, the physical activity levels among nurses working in care coordination are not known. Objective To assess the physical activity levels, self-reported health and well-being, overall quality of life, and work-related satisfaction of office-based care coordinators, and compare these among nursing and non-nursing staff. Methods This study collected objective physical activity data using accelerometry along with self-reported information on work-related quality of life and satisfaction from 42 healthcare staff working in a hospital-affiliated office-based care coordination program. Results were compared among nursing and non-nursing staff. Results Nurses had lower moderate-to-vigorous physical activity levels compared to non-nursing staff (25 min/day vs. 45, p = .007). There were no differences in daily sedentary time, light activity, or steps between nursing and non-nursing staff. Nurses reported high quality of life scores compared to non-nursing staff (4.4 vs. 4.1, p = .02), but similar levels of work-related quality of life, happiness, self-rated health, and well-being. Conclusion Nurses working in an office-based care coordination program had lower levels of physical activity but reported a higher overall quality of life than non-nurse work colleagues working in a similar environment. Given known health risks associated with sedentary occupational work and the growing number of care coordination programs, health policies and initiatives aimed at increasing the physical activity levels of care coordination workers is of prime importance.

“…Although a majority of nurses agree that they should be role models for health, they often sacrifice self-care, a sacrifice that leads to the adoption of unhealthy dietary behaviors and low physical activity participation (Hurley, Edwards, Cupp, & Phillips, 2017; Thacker, Stavarski, Brancato, Flay, & Greenawald, 2016). It has been estimated that more than 50% of all nurses accumulate less than 100 minutes of physical activity per week (Nahm, Warren, Zhu, An, & Brown, 2012).…”

Hospital nurses play an important role in the nation's short- and long-term patient care. At the same time, nurses often experience high levels of occupational stress and participate in low levels of physical activity (PA). The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of self-monitoring and a poster campaign on the PA behaviors of hospital nurses. Motivational and instructional exercise posters were hung in break rooms of experimental units and replaced biweekly for 8 weeks. A total of 26 nurses (control: n = 13; experimental: n = 13) wore accelerometers for 3 workdays pre-, mid-, and postintervention. Participants were provided a step counter at baseline and a PA report at each stage. Moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA) and step count (SC) increased pre- to midintervention for control (MVPA: 14.8 ± 7.6%; SC: 19.1 ± 7.8%) and experimental (MVPA: 26.7 ± 18.5%, SC: 17.6 ± 8.3%) participants. Physical activity levels returned to baseline postintervention for control ( p > .05) and increased mid- to postintervention for experimental (MVPA: 16.2 ± 5.2%, SC: 10.7 ± 4.7%, p < .05) participants. In conclusion, a low-cost, self-care poster campaign may increase PA levels of hospital nurses when combined with personalized PA feedback.
