“…Specifically, with age, the “positive mental attitude” has increased, and the work experience has decreased. Similar results were obtained in a study by Waksmaska et al, where statistically significant differences were shown in participants under 40 and over 50 years of age with respect to the level of health behaviors [ 39 ]. In the study by Orszulak et al, it was observed that there was an equally significant correlation between age and total HBI score, revealing a higher prevalence of each type of health behavior among older nursing staff [ 34 ].…”

Health behaviors play a pivotal role in improving and strengthening health. Nurses, who constitute the vast majority of employees in the health sector, play a crucial role not only in treating disease but also in promoting and maintaining optimal health for themselves and society. The purpose of the study was to assess the level of health and sedentary behavior and the factors influencing them among nurses. A survey, cross-sectional study was conducted among 587 nurses. Standardized questionnaires evaluating health and sedentary behavior were used. The study utilized both single-factor and multifactor analyses, employing the linear regression method and Spearman correlation coefficient. The results showed that the health behaviors of the survey nurses were at an average level. Sedentary time (in hours) was an average of 5.62 h (SD = 1.77) and correlates significantly (p < 0.05) and negatively (r < 0) with health behaviors in terms of the positive mental attitude subscale; the longer the sitting time, the lower the intensity of this type of health behaviors. The efficient functioning of the healthcare system is greatly dependent on nursing staff. To improve health behaviors among nurses, systemic solutions such as workplace wellness programs, incentives for healthy behaviors, and education on the benefits of a healthy lifestyle are needed.

“…A similar result was obtained in a study by Waksma ńska et al, where statistically significant differences were shown in participants under 40 and over 50 years of age regarding the level of health behaviors. The rate of health-promoting behavior undertaken was significantly higher among nursing staff aged 50 years (M = 80.61) compared to participants under 40 years (M = 75.50) [25]. When examining the correlations in a study by Górniak et al, there was a statistically significant relationship between the level of education and the overall health-behavior index.…”

Quality of life (QoL) is closely linked to the health status of the individual. In turn, health status strongly depends on lifestyle. Health behavior, which is defined as the actions and attitudes of a person that affect their physical and mental health, is one of many lifestyle components. The nursing community, which is exposed to a range of dangers associated with the job position and responsibilities of the nursing profession, has to contend with several negative impacts. This results in a decreased quality of life among the nursing staff and reduced effectiveness in providing care services to patients. Methods: This study was conducted using an online Google questionnaire, which was completed by 312 nurses nationwide. The questionnaire included questions about the respondents’ socio-demographic survey and included the Health Behavior Inventory (HBI) by Juczyński and the WHOQoL-BREF questionnaire. Results: The mean QoL reported by respondents was 3.65 points (SD = 0.67), meaning that QoL ranked between good and average results. The respondents’ mean rating of their own health was 3.58 points (SD = 0.79), indicating that they rated their health status between satisfactory and average. Low health-behavior prevalence was reported by 139 of the 312 survey participants (44.55%), while 111 respondents (35.58%) had average health-behavior prevalence and 62 (19.87%) had high health-behavior prevalence. Each of the QoL domains correlated significantly (p ˂ 0.05) and positively (r ˃ 0) with the total HBI score and all its subscales. Conclusions: Higher quality of life improves the level of health behavior by nursing staff. Obesity lowers the quality of life in physical, psychological, and social domains. The psychological sphere was the best-rated quality of life domain by nurses. A good material situation for nurses has a positive effect on their quality of life.

“…The prevalence of respondents’ health behaviors was verified using Juczynski’s Health Behavior Inventory (HBI), which consists of 24 questions on personal health-related behaviors [ 6 , 37 ]. The inventory evaluates the prevalence of health behaviors in four categories [ 37 ]: Proper eating habits (PEH); Pro-health activities (PhA); Preventive actions (PA); Positive mental attitude (PMA).…”

“…The quality of life as understood here is determined mainly by health status, which, according to the concept of health fields by Marc LaLonde, in over half of cases, depends on lifestyle [ 4 ], viewed as any forms of behavior (actions) manifested by people, which in the light of modern medical knowledge usually cause specific positive (healthy) or negative (unhealthy) effects [ 5 , 6 ].…”

“…Numerous publications have shown significant associations between the prevalence of health behavior and health status in various dimensions [ 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ]. Researchers from the World Cancer Research Fund International [ 15 ] and the World Health Organization (WHO) [ 1 ] emphasize that physical activity of appropriate volume and intensity and a healthy diet are considered the most important positive health behaviors in preventive healthcare, as they are closely related to six of the seven factors of premature deaths [ 15 ].…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the intensity of health behaviors and health-related quality of life in female mid-level medical staff. The study group consisted of 153 female mid-level medical staff members. The intensity of health behaviors was examined with the Polish version of Health Behavior Inventory. Health-related quality of life was verified with the Short Form Health Survey questionnaire (SF 36v2). Among the participants, 33% had low, 39% average, and 28% high intensity of health behaviors. The mental component of health-related quality of life was rated higher (83.3 ± 15.3 points) compared to the physical one. The lowest health-related quality of life was observed in the domain of “bodily pain”, while the highest was found for the domain of “social functioning”. Both the physical and mental components of health-related quality of life were significantly positively correlated with health behavior prevalence in all its categories. The post-hoc tests revealed the variation in physical and mental components of HRQoL according to the level of health behavior intensity.
