“… 31 Other mental factors from the workplace, such as depression and job stress can contribute to MetS in HCWs. 32 Our previous study found similar results in the nurse department, but no other staff was included in this study. 8 In this study, we found that burnout and females still demonstrated a higher aOR of MetS in doctor/nurse staff after adjusting for factors, but no association in the non‐doctor/nurse staff, which supported that burnout played the leading role in MetS.…”

Objectives Evidence suggests that subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is associated with burnout and metabolic syndrome (MetS). We examined the relationship between burnout and MetS among healthcare workers (HCWs) and investigated the potential mediation of SCH. Methods This cross‐sectional study included HCWs from a tertiary medical center; demographic data were obtained using a questionnaire. Burnout was evaluated according to the Chinese version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory–Health Services Survey (MBI–HSS). MetS and thyroid function data were obtained from a physical check‐up. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the adjusted odds ratio (aOR), and mediation analysis was employed to examine the mediation effect. Results Among 945 non‐doctor/nurse and 1868 doctor/nurse staff, MetS was 30% and 14%, respectively, and the prevalence of burnout was nearly 6.5%. The results showed that burnout induced higher aOR of MetS in the doctor/nurse group (1.27, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.05‐3.62). Thyroid‐stimulating hormone (TSH) showed a positive association factor of MetS in doctor/nurse group‐adjusted burnout (aOR = 1.15, 95% CI: 1.01‐4.19). A higher TSH level was associated with an increased odds of MetS in younger doctor/nurse staff with burnout syndrome (aOR = 1.74; 95% CI: 1.04‐3.22). There was a borderline significant mediation effect of SCH in the association between burnout and MetS in doctor/nurse staff. Conclusions The results showed that higher TSH levels were positively associated with burnout and MetS in doctor/nurse professionals, especially in the young cohort. Burnout may rely on the borderline mediation effect of SCH, which is likely to affect MetS.

“…In congruence with this, a study in Mexico found a high prevalence of self-esteem among obese nurses. [31] After liposuction, the present study results showed significant improvement in self-esteem sores. The multivariate analysis identified liposuction as the only significant independent positive predictor of the self-esteem score.…”

Obesity is a growing public health problem in Egypt, with many physical and psychological deleterious effects. Liposuction could have a positive effect on patients' psychology. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of liposuction on overweight/obese patients' eating concerns, body shape concerns, and self-esteem. This quasi-experimental one-group study was conducted in Bedayat private Hospital in Cairo on 70 adult patients undergoing liposuction. A self-administered questionnaire with three validated scales for eating concerns, body shape concerns, and self-esteem was utilized in data collection before and after liposuction. The fieldwork lasted from April to July 2018. The results showed that 84.3% of the patients were, with age range 23 to 58 years. There were significant decreases in the percentages of patients having dyslipidemia, from 25.7% before the liposuction to 5.7% after the liposuction (p=0.001). The scores of eating showed improvements (p<0.001), and the frequency of unhealthy eating practices decreased (p<0.001). The mean score of body shape concerns decreased from 5.1 before liposuction to 2.1 after liposuction (p<0.001), whereas the mean sores of self-esteem domains increased (p<0.001). In multivariate analysis, liposuction was the only significant independent negative predictor of the eating concern and body shape concern scores, and a significant positive predictor of the self-esteem score. In conclusion, liposuction is a safe procedure that leads to significant improvements in the patients' eating concerns, body shape concerns, and self-esteem. The procedure is recommended for those suffering from such concerns and/or having low self-esteem. Further research is proposed to examine the long-term effects of liposuction on these parameters.

“…This higher risk of obesity for nurses may be due to factors related to their job conditions; nurses must do shift work with disruptive working patterns to deliver health-care services. Many studies have discovered that obesity is one of the adverse health effects of shift work [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]. In their study, Liu et al [ 30 ] reported that the risk of being obese increased by 17% for workers doing shift work compared to those doing non-shift work.…”

Obesity among health-care workers (HCWs) is an important issue as it can affect both their health condition and their professional capability. Although adult obesity is attributable to occupational factors, few reports are available on Malaysian health-care workers’ obesity and whether different health-care job categories are related to workers’ obesity. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of obesity among HCWs and the association between various HCW job categories and obesity. A cross-sectional study was conducted by analyzing secondary data from the 2019 annual cardiovascular health screening program, which included information regarding all government health-care workers in the east coast region of Peninsular Malaysia. The subject’s body mass index (BMI) was categorized according to WHO criteria. Only 43% of the subjects had a normal BMI, while 33.1% were categorized as overweight, and 21.1% were obese. Different HCWs’ job categories were shown to be significantly associated with their obesity status, with nurses apparently having a higher risk of being obese (Adj OR = 1.91, 95% CI 1.45, 2.53, p-value < 0.001). This study's results require further exploration of HCWs’ working condition factors and for different job categories that contribute to obesity. Public health intervention programs to combat obesity should be implemented that primarily target HCW groups at the highest risk of obesity.
