Epidemiological evidence show that shift work can contribute to increased body weight. This study aims to map the prevalence of obesity and overweight among health professionals who work in shifts and analyse the factors that contribute to weight gain. A scoping review was conducted, following the proposal of the Joanna Briggs Institute. The Population, Concept, and Context strategy was used to formulate the guiding question. The proposed question was: "What is the prevalence of overweight and obesity among health professionals with shift work schedules?" After excluding duplicate articles, analysing titles and abstracts, and excluding articles that did not answer the guiding question, 20 articles remained and were included in this review. The studies have shown that the main factors that could influence weight gain among health professionals that are shift workers, are hormonal dysregulation, eating unhealthy meals, and low rates of physical activities practice. This scoping review showed that shift work can be an important risk factor for the development of overweight and obesity among these professionals. This implies the need of developing and implementing health policies aimed at reducing the excessive exposure of these workers to shift schedules and encouraging healthier and long-lasting changes in their lifestyles, both at workplace and outside of it.
流行病学证据表明，轮班工作会导致体重增加。本研究旨在查明从事轮班工作的卫生专业人员中肥胖和超重的患病率，并分析导致体重增加的因素。按照乔安娜·布里格斯研究所的提议进行了一项范围综述。采用人群、概念和背景策略来制定指导性问题。提出的问题是：“实行轮班工作时间表的卫生专业人员中超重和肥胖的患病率是多少？”在排除重复文章、分析标题和摘要以及排除未回答指导性问题的文章后，剩下20篇文章并纳入本综述。研究表明，可能影响从事轮班工作的卫生专业人员体重增加的主要因素是激素失调、饮食不健康以及体育活动参与率低。这项范围综述表明，轮班工作可能是这些专业人员超重和肥胖发展的一个重要风险因素。这意味着需要制定和实施卫生政策，以减少这些工作人员过多地暴露于轮班时间表，并鼓励他们在工作场所内外的生活方式发生更健康和持久 的变化。
