Introduction: By increasing the shift and its effects on health, identifying factors that can contribute to reducing shifting problems is essential. The purpose of the present study is to determine the correlation between sport activity, nutritional patterns and drug abuse with the health consequences of shifting in nurses.
Methods: In this descriptive-correlational study, the statistical population consisted of all nurses (455 people) employed in educational hospitals in Bojnourd. In this study, 228 subjects were selected using randomized stratified sampling method. A “Survey of Shift Workers Questionnaire” and “Life Style Questionnaires” were used to collect data. Reliability and validity of these questionnaires have been measured in previous studies. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 22.
Results: Correlation coefficient between sport activity and shifting health outcomes (r = -0.463, P < 0.0001) and correlation coefficient between nutritional patterns and shifting health outcomes (r = -0.183, (P < 0.005) were negative and significant. Also, the correlation coefficient between drug abuse and shifting health outcomes was positive and not significant. (r = 0.116, P = 0.80). Regression analysis showed that only sport activity can predict the shifting health outcomes in nurses (R2 = 0.214, P < 0.0001).
Conclusions: Sport activity and nutrition patterns have a negative and significant correlation with shifting health outcomes in nurses. Furthermore, the role of predictive shifting health outcomes effects was also confirmed by sport activity. Therefore, it is recommended to provide conditions for conducting sport activity courses in order to reduce the nurses' shifting health outcomes.
