Nurses will be involved in delivering the UK Government's 'Choosing Activity: a physical activity action plan' (Department of Health, 2005), so it is important to ensure that nurses benefit from the implementation of this policy. It is accepted that in some areas of nursing, the daily routine can be physically and mentally demanding; all the more reason to examine lifestyle and the benefits of exercise. This article considers some factors that may affect nurses' physical and mental health. The potential value of the Healthy Workplace Award Scheme is discussed and some recommendations are made about future strategies that employers could adopt or develop to give nurses the opportunity to improve their physical and mental well-being within the workplace. These opportunities could improve nurses' health and impact on the care nurses provide.
护士将参与实施英国政府的《选择活动：体育活动行动计划》（卫生部，2005年），因此确保护士能从该政策的实施中受益非常重要。人们公认，在护理工作的某些领域，日常工作对身体和精神都有很高要求；这就更有理由审视生活方式以及锻炼的益处。本文探讨了一些可能影响护士身心健康的因素。讨论了健康工作场所奖计划的潜在价值，并就雇主未来可采用或制定的策略提出了一些建议，以便让护士有机会在工作场所改善其身心健康。这些机会可以改善护士的健康状况，并对护士提供的护理产生影响。
