The purpose of the present study was to investigate healthcare workers' physical exercise levels linked to their quality of life. Healthcare workers' from all departments of a General hospital participated in the study. The instruments used for data collection regarding quality of life and physical exercise (Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) and International Physical Activity Questionnaire-short form).
Regarding the lack of physical exercise, the participants mainly put the blame on lack of free time (58%, n = 106), work hours (41% n = 75), but also pure negligence (37%, n = 67). The SF-36 scores showed that the existence of health problems can affect in a negative way and aggravate almost every quality of life parameter. Regarding physical activities in the past 7 days prior to the survey, most of them were about housekeeping and household-related chores (42.3%), followed by out-of-the-house errands (13.2%). There were also differences among mental health and postgraduate education level. According to our findings, a major factor that could boost healthcare professionals' physical activity, is to increase knowledge and raise awareness about the benefits linked to physical activity.
本研究旨在调查医护人员的体育锻炼水平与其生活质量之间的关系。一家综合医院各科室的医护人员参与了该研究。用于收集生活质量和体育锻炼数据的工具(简短健康调查问卷(SF-36)和国际体力活动问卷简表)。
关于缺乏体育锻炼,参与者主要将其归咎于缺乏空闲时间(58%,n = 106)、工作时间(41%,n = 75),还有纯粹的疏忽(37%,n = 67)。SF-36评分显示,健康问题的存在会产生负面影响,并几乎使生活质量的每个参数都恶化。关于调查前7天的体育活动,其中大部分是家务和与家庭相关的杂务(42.3%),其次是外出办事(13.2%)。心理健康和研究生教育水平之间也存在差异。根据我们的研究结果,一个可以促进医护人员体育活动的主要因素是增加与体育活动相关益处的知识并提高认识。
