BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The wellness profile of healthcare professionals is of crucial importance since it can affect the quality of healthcare services. This study created a comprehensive profile of health, functional capacity, physical fitness, and lifestyle behaviours in hospital healthcare professionals.
A hundred female (age: 45.53 ± 2 yrs) professionals underwent assessments of their health (respiratory function/blood pressure/body circumference/body fat/body mass index/musculoskeletal pains), functional capacity (flexibility/balance), physical fitness (strength/aerobic capacity), and daily habits (smoking/alcohol/caffeinated beverages/screen time/physical activity).
According to data analysis (descriptive statistics, paired -tests to analyze possible differences between the right and left sides), (a) 39% of the participants were overweight and 28% obese, (b) 40-44% of the participants showed higher values than normal in waist circumference and systolic blood pressure, and (c) 96% of the participants showed musculoskeletal pains. Functional capacity and physical fitness demonstrated significant differences in balance and flexibility ( < 0.05) between sides (right/left) and low levels of strength and dynamic balance-agility. Moreover, 67% of the sample did not participate in physical activities, while a significant percentage showed increased screen time on weekdays (44%) and weekends (61%). Finally, 36% of the sample smoked, 62% consumed alcohol, and 92% consumed caffeinated beverages (the majority were within permissible limits).
In conclusion, this study contributes valuable insights into the wellness profile of healthcare professionals to ensure optimal care for this population.
背景/目的：医疗保健专业人员的健康状况至关重要，因为它会影响医疗服务的质量。本研究创建了医院医疗保健专业人员的健康、功能能力、身体素质和生活方式行为的综合概况。
一百名女性（年龄：45.53±2岁）专业人员接受了健康评估（呼吸功能/血压/身体周长/体脂/体重指数/肌肉骨骼疼痛）、功能能力评估（柔韧性/平衡能力）、身体素质评估（力量/有氧能力）以及日常习惯评估（吸烟/饮酒/饮用含咖啡因饮料/屏幕使用时间/体育活动）。
根据数据分析（描述性统计、配对t检验以分析左右两侧可能存在的差异），（a）39%的参与者超重，28%肥胖；（b）40 - 44%的参与者腰围和收缩压高于正常水平；（c）96%的参与者有肌肉骨骼疼痛。功能能力和身体素质在左右两侧的平衡和柔韧性方面存在显著差异（P<0.05），力量和动态平衡敏捷性水平较低。此外，67%的样本未参加体育活动，而相当比例的人在工作日（44%）和周末（61%）屏幕使用时间增加。最后，36%的样本吸烟，62%饮酒，92%饮用含咖啡因饮料（大多数在允许范围内）。
总之，本研究为医疗保健专业人员的健康状况提供了有价值的见解，以确保为该人群提供最佳护理。
