Promoting health in the workplace is a national and international public health priority, and health promotion is a central aspect of the nursing role. However, nurses' knowledge of health promotion does not always translate to self-care and there are barriers to some aspects of self-care at work, such as healthy eating. Evidence suggests that rates of overweight and obesity in nurses are relatively high and commensurate with the general population, which has implications for their health and well-being and their delivery of health promotion to patients. This article discusses health in the workplace and some of the evidence on overweight and obesity among nurses, including how this may influence their health promotion practice. The author also considers barriers and enablers to nurses' healthy eating at work and suggests some approaches that individual nurses and healthcare organisations can take to improve healthy eating.
促进职场健康是一项国内和国际公共卫生重点工作，而健康促进是护理工作的核心内容。然而，护士对健康促进的认知并不总能转化为自我护理，且工作中自我护理的某些方面存在障碍，比如健康饮食。有证据表明，护士超重和肥胖的比例相对较高，与普通人群相当，这对他们的健康和幸福以及向患者提供健康促进服务都有影响。本文讨论职场健康以及一些关于护士超重和肥胖的证据，包括这可能如何影响他们的健康促进实践。作者还考虑了护士工作中健康饮食的障碍和促进因素，并提出了个体护士和医疗保健机构可以采取的一些改善健康饮食的方法。
