(1) Background: Several researchers have highlighted a higher incidence of overweight and obesity among nurses, and others have analyzed the quality of nurses' eating habits and their related physical activity levels. The present study assessed the differences in personal habits among Italian oncology nurses according to sex, work experience and shift. (2) Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed during September-October 2023. A Google Moduli questionnaire was created and divulgated through Facebook and Instagram "Nurseallface" social pages. (3) Results: A total of 306 Italian oncology nurses agreed to participate in this study. Significant differences were reported between sex and the nutrition dimension ( = 0.018); male nurses reported higher levels in this dimension (2.69 ± 0.43) than females (2.56 ± 0.49). By considering the role of work experience in the health-promoting lifestyle profile, significant differences were recorded in the physical activity sub-dimension ( < 0.001), especially among nurses employed for more than 30 years who reported higher levels of physical activity (5.25 ± 0.23) than the other groups. By considering the shift role in the health-promoting lifestyle profile, significant differences were recorded with a health-promoting lifestyle general score ( = 0.046), especially among nurses employed only during the morning shift who recorded higher levels in health-promoting lifestyle than the others (one shift: 2.49 ± 0.29 vs. two shifts: 2.47 ± 0.24 vs. three shifts: 2.41 ± 0.25). Additionally, significant differences were reported in the physical activity dimension ( = 0.017), since nurses employed only during the morning shift recorded higher levels of physical activity than the others (one shift: 2.96 ± 1.28 vs. two shifts: 2.55 ± 0.94 vs. three shifts: 2.48 ± 1.20). Finally, a significant difference was recorded in the nutrition dimension ( = 0.017), since nurses employed during the morning and the afternoon shifts recorded higher levels of nutrition than the others (two shifts: 2.73 ± 0.39 vs. one shift: 2.63 ± 0.43 vs. three shifts: 2.56 ± 0.51). (4) Conclusions: Nurses represent the motive of healthcare organizations. Promoting healthy lifestyles among nurses would help healthcare organizations to have a healthy workforce, and nurses themselves can be advocates for policies to improve patient lifestyles and improve chronic disease prevention.
(1) 背景：一些研究人员强调护士中超重和肥胖的发生率较高，另一些人则分析了护士饮食习惯的质量及其相关的身体活动水平。本研究评估了意大利肿瘤护理人员在个人习惯方面根据性别、工作经验和班次的差异。(2) 方法：于2023年9月至10月进行了一项横断面研究。创建了一份谷歌问卷模块，并通过脸书和照片墙“Nurseallface”社交页面进行传播。(3) 结果：共有306名意大利肿瘤护理人员同意参与本研究。据报告，性别与营养维度之间存在显著差异（P = 0.018）；男护士在该维度上的得分（2.69±0.43）高于女护士（2.56±0.49）。考虑到工作经验在健康促进生活方式概况中的作用，在身体活动子维度上记录到显著差异（P < 0.001），特别是在工作超过30年的护士中，他们报告的身体活动水平（5.25±0.23）高于其他组。考虑到班次在健康促进生活方式概况中的作用，在健康促进生活方式总体得分上记录到显著差异（P = 0.046），特别是在仅上早班的护士中，他们在健康促进生活方式方面的得分高于其他人（一个班次：2.49±0.29，两个班次：2.47±0.2,4，三个班次：2.41±0.25）。此外，在身体活动维度上也报告了显著差异（P = 0.017），因为仅上早班的护士记录的身体活动水平高于其他人（一个班次：2.96±1.28，两个班次：2.55±0.94，三个班次：2.48±1.20）。最后，在营养维度上记录到显著差异（P = 0.017），因为上早班和中班的护士记录的营养水平高于其他人（两个班次：2.73±0.39，一个班次：2.63±0.43，三个班次：2.56±0.51）。(4) 结论：护士是医疗保健组织的核心力量。在护士中推广健康的生活方式将有助于医疗保健组织拥有健康的员工队伍，并且护士自身可以成为改善患者生活方式和预防慢性病政策的倡导者。
