Although nurses are educated to take outstanding care of others, they themselves often have poor health outcomes, including high rates of depression and obesity, which are associated with stressful work environments. Furthermore, a high percentage of new graduate nurses leave their positions in the first year of employment, resulting in exorbitant costs to health care systems.
The aim of this study was to determine the relationships among key variables that influence job satisfaction and healthy lifestyle behaviors of new graduate nurses, including workplace stress, work environment, lifestyle beliefs, and mental health.
A descriptive correlational design was used with baseline data from 61 new graduate nurses attending the 2-day Nurse Athlete program, a workshop that focuses on nutrition, energy management, and physical activity.
Higher levels of workplace stress were associated with higher levels of depression and anxiety as well as lower levels of resiliency, job satisfaction, and healthy lifestyle beliefs.
Nurse leaders and managers must invest in creating healthy work environments for new and experienced nurses as well as provide mental health screening, resources, and intervention programs that focus on education and skills-building in health promoting behaviors, including emotional regulation of stress, anxiety, and depression.
尽管护士接受的教育是要出色地照顾他人，但他们自身往往健康状况不佳，包括抑郁症和肥胖症发病率较高，这与工作环境压力大有关。此外，很大比例的新毕业护士在入职第一年就离职，给医疗保健系统带来高昂成本。
本研究的目的是确定影响新毕业护士工作满意度和健康生活方式行为的关键变量之间的关系，包括工作场所压力、工作环境、生活方式信念和心理健康。
采用描述性相关设计，数据来自61名参加为期两天的护士运动员项目的新毕业护士的基线数据，该项目是一个专注于营养、能量管理和体育活动的研讨会。
工作场所压力水平较高与抑郁和焦虑水平较高以及恢复力、工作满意度和健康生活方式信念水平较低相关。
护士领导和管理人员必须投资为新护士和经验丰富的护士创造健康的工作环境，并提供心理健康筛查、资源以及侧重于健康促进行为教育和技能培养的干预项目，包括压力、焦虑和抑郁的情绪调节。
