B Vitamins, work‐related stress and emotional mental disorders: a cross‐sectional study among nurses in Indonesia

Aim The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between intake of vitamins B1, B6, B9 and B12 with emotional mental disorders among nurses in Indonesia. Design This cross‐sectional study included nurses who have worked at least six months at a private hospital in Indonesia from March to April 2021. Methods We used the Food Frequency Questionnaire, Self‐Reporting Questionnaire 20 and the Expanded Nursing Stress Scale questionnaire to assess the B‐vitamin intake, emotional mental disorders and work‐related stress. Results Of 80 interviewed nurses, 8.8% experienced severe work‐related stress, and 22.5% had emotional mental disorders. Most nurses had inadequate intake of vitamins B1 and B9 but had adequate intake of vitamins B6 (72.5%) and B12 (56.3%). Emotional mental disorders are more probably to occur in nurses with less intake of vitamins B6 and B12, with respective aOR of 20.06, 95% CI 4.14–97.09 (p < .001) and 4.49, 95% CI 1.19–16.83 (p = .026).

Objective: Studies that correlate the frequency of fruit intake with cognitive impairment in the senior population are lacking. In addition, the co-effects of the frequency of fruit intake and the vision condition on cognitive function remain unexplored. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the frequency of fruit intake and cognitive function, as well as the combined impact of the frequency of fruit intake and the vision condition on cognitive impairment. Methods: The data of 7621 seniors included in the 2017-2018 China Longitudinal Healthy Lifespan Survey (CLHLS) were included. Trained investigators face-to-face survey to collect information on the frequency of fruit intake and the vision status of seniors. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze. Results: Among chinese seniors, Low level of frequency of fruit intake had harmful effect on cognitive function(OR=1.958 95%CI=1.611-2.380). Low level of vision status had harmful effect on cognitive function(OR=9.493 95%CI=8.073-11.162). The frequency of fruit intake and the visual impairment were independently or jointly associated with cognitive function. Cognitive impairment is more likely in seniors with visual impairment when the frequency of fruit intake is rare(OR=12.855 95%CI=9.867-16.749). After stratified analysis by the vision condition, Among the senior population with visual impairment, Low level of frequency of fruit intake had harmful effect on cognitive function(OR=1.768 95%CI=1.245-2.511). Conclusion: This study emphasizes the joint effect of the frequency of fruit intake and the vision status on cognitive ability. This study could provide a reference for the development of policies and the intervention of health promotion for seniors.
