“…Organizational factors such as workplace environment and workplace culture were major barriers that the nurses experienced. The World Health Organization created the 'Health Promoting Hospitals' network to improve the working environment for nurses and conduct health-promoting campaigns for patients, families and the community (Mahmoodi, Sarbakhsh, & Shaghaghi, 2019). Although health-care organizations should be healthy workplaces, most of the primary studies demonstrated limited availability, variety and accessibility of healthy food in the hospitals.…”

Aims: Nursing is a highly stressful occupation where irregular shifts and working overtime lead to unhealthy behaviours. This qualitative systematic review and metasynthesis aims to examine nurses' barriers in adopting health-promoting behaviours.Methods: Six electronic databases were searched from their respective inception dates to October 2021: EMBASE, Web of Science, PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses. The Critical Appraisal Skills Program checklist was used to appraise the quality of included studies. Data synthesis followed Sandelowski's and Barroso's two-step approach.Results: Fourteen studies were included in this review, and three themes were generated as follows: (1) work environment and workplace culture, (2) nature of the job and (3) intrinsic factors. Conclusion:This review synthesized available evidence on the barriers nurses experienced while adopting health-promoting behaviours. Health-care institutions should target these factors when providing facilities and services to support nurses in adopting health-promoting behaviours. Policies should focus on workplace health promotion by advocating for healthy lifestyle policies. Future research should be conducted in more multicultural and geographically diverse regions to obtain a more global view of nurses' barriers to adopt health-promoting behaviours.

“…In Iran, as in other developing countries, this concept has recently emerged, and the current situation of health promotion services in Iranian hospitals is not clear. In addition, the knowledge of health workers regarding the concept of HPH is low [9,10]. In Iran, 8 hospitals officially joined the HPH hospital network [11].…”

Background — Changing public expectations for hospitals, as well as the increasing number of patients with chronic illnesses requiring ongoing support, along with high incidence of staff exposure to physical, mental and psychological risks, have led hospital councils to focus on health promotion as a vital component for both patients and the staff. The World Health Organization (WHO) introduces health promotion in healthcare to improve hospital efficacy. Due to the lack of sufficient information on the status of HPH standards in western Iran, the present study was designed to examine the status of HPH in Hamadan, a western province of Iran. Material and Methods — This study examined 20 hospitals in Hamadan, Iran, using the HPH self-assessment questionnaire developed by WHO. The questionnaire consists of five standards, including management policy (Standard 1), patient assessment (Standard 2), patient information and intervention (Standard 3), promoting a healthy workplace (Standard 4), and continuity and collaboration (Standard 5). Results — The overall hospital HPH score was 75.36±11.33 (out of 100). Among the five standards, patient information and intervention received the highest score (86.66±11.27), while promoting a healthy workplace received the lowest score (67.50±17.88). Public hospitals had a statistically significantly higher score on management policy (p=0.011). Similar trend was observed when comparing HPH with non-HPH network facilities (p=0.041). Other comparisons did not yield any significant differences (p>0.05). Conclusion — We established that hospitals in Hamadan, Iran, were only partially compliant with the Promoting Health Hospitals (HPH) program. The study highlighted the need to create a healthier workplace for hospital staff and indicated that this is a top priority for the examined hospitals. This scientific breakthrough provides important insight into how Iranian hospitals can take steps to create a healthier workplace for their employees, which will ultimately lead to better outcomes for patients.
