To evaluate the factors affecting the health-related behaviours among nurses in Poland, including the influence of Type D personality.
Some nurses appear to adopt an unhealthy lifestyle to cope with the stressful nature of their work, which can affect their professional performance and contribute to the burden on our health care system. However, the factors driving the health-related behaviours among nurses in Poland have not been adequately studied.
This was a descriptive study conducted from June 2017 to May 2018 among nurses (N = 1,080) working primary care or in training facilities in Silesia, Poland. Data were acquired through a series of questionnaires and are presented as descriptive statistics.
A total of 379 (35%) nurses consumed alcohol in a harmful way, and ~20% were smokers. Almost all nurses (94.5%) could make dietary improvements. Over half (68%) reported moderate stress levels, and 179 (16.6%) were extremely stressed. Compared with non-Type D individuals, nurses with Type D personality more commonly used ineffective techniques for dealing with stress (i.e. denial and abreaction; p <.001), had lower mood (p <.001) and had a poorer diet (p = .001).
The majority of nurses in Poland lead an unhealthy lifestyle and report moderate to severe levels of stress. Nurses with Type D personality more commonly use ineffective techniques for dealing with stress (i.e. avoidance strategies), have lower mood and have a poorer diet than those with non-Type D personality.
Promoting healthy behaviours and developing stress management techniques among nurses, particularly those with Type D personality, may improve nurses' well-being and professional performance, and help set a better example for patients.
评估影响波兰护士健康相关行为的因素，包括D型人格的影响。
一些护士似乎采取不健康的生活方式来应对工作中的压力，这可能会影响他们的专业表现，并加重我们医疗保健系统的负担。然而，波兰护士健康相关行为的驱动因素尚未得到充分研究。
这是一项描述性研究，于2017年6月至2018年5月在波兰西里西亚从事初级护理或在培训设施工作的护士（N = 1080）中进行。通过一系列问卷获取数据，并以描述性统计呈现。
共有379名（35%）护士有害饮酒，约20%为吸烟者。几乎所有护士（94.5%）都可以改善饮食。超过一半（68%）报告压力水平为中度，179名（16.6%）压力极大。与非D型个体相比，D型人格的护士更常使用无效的压力应对技巧（即否认和发泄；p <.001），情绪较低（p <.001），饮食较差（p =.001）。
波兰大多数护士生活方式不健康，报告有中度至重度压力水平。与非D型人格的护士相比，D型人格的护士更常使用无效的压力应对技巧（即回避策略），情绪较低，饮食较差。
在护士中，特别是那些具有D型人格的护士中，促进健康行为和开发压力管理技巧，可能会改善护士的幸福感和专业表现，并有助于为患者树立更好的榜样。
