Some BO risk or some of its three components are established to those people who are over 40 years old, without children and live outside the Province.

“…Finally, 170 records were selected from this initial analysis to go through a more rigorous selection process (46) (Figure 1). According to the process shown in Figure 1, only 106 articles qualified for the analysis (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20) .

“…Studies rely on samples ranging from 11 to 11,000 participants, and because there is no standard for measuring the syndrome, it is not possible to conduct a more categorical assessment of the results. However, by analyzing the mean scores of some studies, in most cases it can be noticed that nursing professionals manifest low-moderate EE, low DS and moderate PA (2)(3)17,19,23,(27)(28)30,34,36,(49)(50)(51)(52)(53)(54)57,(59)(60)(62)(63)(64)(73)(74)(75)(76)(77)(78)(79)(81)(82)(83)(84)(85)(86)91,(93)(94)101,105) .
