Across the world obesity rates in the general population have been increasing in recent years, a trend that has also been seen among nurses. Alongside the negative health effects of obesity such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease, the condition affects an individual's ability to work and results in increasing rates of absenteeism. However, the nature of nursing shift patterns and the healthcare workplace itself can influence a nurse's ability to eat healthily. This article discusses how obesity and healthy eating can affect the nursing role, as well as examining leadership and management practices that can support healthy eating in the workplace. The article is aimed at supporting nurse managers to reflect on their own lifestyle behaviour, which in turn will enable them to engage more with the topic of healthy eating among staff.
近年来，全球范围内的普通人群肥胖率一直在上升，护士群体也出现了这种趋势。除了肥胖对健康的负面影响，如 2 型糖尿病和心血管疾病外，这种情况还会影响个人的工作能力，导致旷工率不断上升。然而，护理轮班模式的性质和医疗保健工作场所本身会影响护士健康饮食的能力。本文讨论了肥胖和健康饮食如何影响护理角色，并研究了可以支持工作场所健康饮食的领导和管理实践。本文旨在支持护士长反思自己的生活方式行为，从而使他们能够更积极地与员工讨论健康饮食问题。
