Nurses' health promoting lifestyle behaviors in a community hospital

Nurses and health‐promoting self‐care: Do we practice what we preach?

“…Nurses with higher BMIs reported consuming less healthy diets than nurses with lower BMIs (Beebe, Chang, Kress, & Mattfeldt-Beman, 2017). There is conflicting evidence regarding age, as increasing age has been associated with increases as well as decreases in health-promoting behaviours (Kurnat-Thoma, El-Banna, Oakcrum, & Tyroler, 2017;McCarthy, Wills, & Crowley, 2018;Perry et al, 2018;Thacker, Stavarski, Brancato, Flay, & Greenawald, 2016).…”

Associations Among Nursing Work Environment and Health‐Promoting Behaviors of Nurses and Nursing Performance Quality: A Multilevel Modeling Approach

“…According to findings from the Korean Nurses’ Health Study, a large‐scale national cohort study, Korean nurses reportedly show fewer health‐promoting behaviors than do the general populations of South Korea and other countries (Kim, Kim, Lee, & Jung, ). Nurses specifically exhibit low levels of physical activity, stress management, and health responsibility (Kurnat‐Thoma, El‐Banna, Oakcrum, & Tyroler, ). Considering that nurses are role models for patients to adopt a healthy lifestyle, the health‐promoting behaviors of nurses can impact not only their own health, but the health‐promoting behaviors and health status of patients as well.…”

Work readiness, transition, and integration: The challenge of specialty practice

“…In examining 2009-2012 data from a medium-sized community hospital, Kurnat-Thoma, El-Banna, Oakcrum, and Tyroler (2017) found a substantial rate of loss (28.8%-49.6%) for nurses employed <1 year. In examining 2009-2012 data from a medium-sized community hospital, Kurnat-Thoma, El-Banna, Oakcrum, and Tyroler (2017) found a substantial rate of loss (28.8%-49.6%) for nurses employed <1 year.…”

“…A 10-year study conducted by Kovner, Brewer, Fatehi, and Jun (2014) revealed that 17.5% of new nurses leave practice in the first year. In examining 2009-2012 data from a medium-sized community hospital, Kurnat-Thoma, El-Banna, Oakcrum, and Tyroler (2017) found a substantial rate of loss (28.8%-49.6%) for nurses employed <1 year. MacKusick and Minick (2010) estimated 30%-50% of new graduates change positions or leave nursing in the first 3 years of clinical practice, while Brewer, Kovner, Greene, Tukov-Shuser, and Djukic (2012) found 43% leave in this period.…”
