Working hours and health behaviour among nurses at public hospitals

“…The lack of the practice of physical exercise as leisure and also inappropriate nutrition may have been reflected in the high percentages of cases of overweight or obesity in the group, particularly among women, with the results being similar to those described in another study on nursing professionals (15) . In addition, some studies (20)(21)(22) consider other important factors in relation to overweight and obesity in the female group: the age bracket of the population, characterised in this study as being of middle age, which generates an impact on the metabolism (21) , the condition of already having borne children (20) , marital status (22) and hormonal phenomena such as the climacteric and the menopause (21) .…”

When the Burden Gets Overwhelming: Testing an Inverse U-Shaped Relation between Work-Family Conflicts and Alcohol Use

“…In addition, the underlying mechanisms behind the inverse u-shaped relation remain to be explored. Nevertheless, if the results of the present study can be confirmed in other studies, three major processes may explain the finding results: (a) holding multiple roles and the resulting multiple responsibilities may in a consequence not only lead to role conflicts but also limit the opportunities to engage in alcohol use following the assumptions of the role accumulation theory [31-33]; (b) those facing high levels of WFC may suffer from the situation and therefore are a particular risk group for detrimental health outcomes other than heavy drinking; and (c) a combination of both a and b but alternating over time and/or within specific groups.…”

“…Second, it may be that facing high levels of WFC and the resulting stress restrict opportunities to engage in drinking situations on top of their multiple obligations and tasks resulting from work and family life (i.e., they may be simply too busy to have more than one drink if any in between). Both explanations are in line with the role accumulation theory [31-33] assuming that holding multiple social roles limits the opportunities to engage in heavy drinking as well as the responsibilities related to these roles will limit the engagement in heavy alcohol use to avoid negative effects of drinking on the role performance [see 13, 18].…”
