The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of irritable bowel syndrome among nurses in order to update the epidemiological data. A questionnaire survey was administered to 1,325 clinical nurses. We used a questionnaire for demographic information, the IBS Severity Scoring System, the IBS Quality of Life questionnaire, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and the Maslach Burnout Inventory to conduct our survey. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to detect factors influencing irritable bowel syndrome among nurses. The prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome was 13.3%, and the severity of symptoms was mostly moderate. The IBS Quality of Life score was significantly reduced (p < .001). Various foods that caused abdominal pain (egg and dairy products [OR = 4.80], greasy food [OR = 5.80], spicy food [OR = 2.66], raw and cold food [OR = 2.43]), a family history of gastrointestinal diseases (OR = 1.64, 95% CI [1.038, 2.587]), drinking weak green tea (OR = 1.71, 95% CI [1.143, 2.552]), mild depression (OR = 1.78, 95% CI [1.005, 3.156]), and the personal accomplishment dimension of occupational burnout (OR = 2.52, 95% CI [1.039, 6.114]) had important effects on nurses suffering from irritable bowel syndrome. On the contrary, exercising 1-2 hours per week (OR = 0.53, 95% CI [0.327, 0.859]) had a protective effect. The prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome among nurses is relatively high and may be influenced by several factors including genetics, diet, exercise, psychology, and occupational burnout.
本研究旨在调查护士中肠易激综合征的患病率和影响因素，以更新流行病学数据。我们对 1325 名临床护士进行了问卷调查。我们使用了一份问卷来获取人口统计学信息、IBS 严重程度评分系统、IBS 生活质量问卷、医院焦虑抑郁量表、匹兹堡睡眠质量指数和 Maslach 职业倦怠量表来进行我们的调查。我们进行了单因素和多因素分析，以检测影响护士肠易激综合征的因素。肠易激综合征的患病率为 13.3%，症状严重程度大多为中度。IBS 生活质量评分显著降低（p<0.001）。各种引起腹痛的食物（鸡蛋和乳制品[OR=4.80]、油腻食物[OR=5.80]、辛辣食物[OR=2.66]、生冷食物[OR=2.43]）、胃肠道疾病家族史（OR=1.64，95%CI[1.038,2.587]）、轻度抑郁（OR=1.78，95%CI[1.005,3.156]）和职业倦怠的个人成就感维度（OR=2.52，95%CI[1.039,6.114]）对患有肠易激综合征的护士有重要影响。相反，每周锻炼 1-2 小时（OR=0.53，95%CI[0.327,0.859]）有保护作用。护士中肠易激综合征的患病率相对较高，可能受到遗传、饮食、运动、心理和职业倦怠等多种因素的影响。
