It is generally accepted that physical activity has many health benefits, such as improved cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular fitness and bone health. Despite this, inactivity remains a significant health challenge in the UK and globally, contributing to conditions such as coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus. Nurses have an important health promotion role in recommending the potential benefits of physical activity to the general public. However, research suggests that many nurses may not be undertaking enough physical activity themselves, despite the active nature of the nursing role. This article investigates the evidence that increased physical activity has the potential to improve the well-being of nurses. The article also examines the effect of physical activity on indicators of well-being, including feeling states such as affect, mood and emotion; depression; and sleep.
人们普遍认为，体育活动对健康有诸多益处，比如改善心肺功能、肌肉力量和骨骼健康。尽管如此，缺乏运动在英国乃至全球仍是一项重大的健康挑战，会引发冠心病和糖尿病等疾病。护士在向公众推荐体育活动的潜在益处方面，发挥着重要的健康促进作用。然而，研究表明，尽管护士工作本身较为活跃，但许多护士自身可能并未进行足够的体育活动。本文探讨了增加体育活动有可能改善护士幸福感的证据。文章还研究了体育活动对幸福感指标的影响，包括情感、情绪和心境等感觉状态；抑郁；以及睡眠。
