Passage Three

Researchers at the University of Maryland's School of Nursing found that 55 percent of the 2,

103 female nurses they surveyed were odese(

肥胖的

), citing job stress and the effect on sleep of

long , irregular work hours as the cause.

The study, which measured obesity using estimates of body mass index(

体质指数

)

，

found

that nursing schedules affected not only the health of the nures but the quality of care .

“

Health care professionals are often involved in provding advice or care to patients that relates

to

things

that

aren't

totally

under

control

in

their

own

lives.

It's

not

uniform

for

health

professionals

to

eat

well

or

avoid

tobacco,

”

said

Dr.

David

Katz,

the

director

of

the

Yale

University Prevention Research Center.

Keith-Thomas Ayoob , associate professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine , said

nurses are jsut as susceptible to health problems as the rest of society.

professionals doesn't mean we stopped being members of regular society with allthe problems that

changes,

”

said Ayoob.

The same is true with smoking ,Ayoob said.

“

We all konw smoking is bad . It doesn'matter if you're a doctor ora nurse or a plumber. You

might assume that your interest in health would be higher if you were a health professional, but a

lot of doctors and nures smoke,

”

said Ayoob.

“

Nurses need to understand the importance of taking care of themselves before patients or

their families,

”

Ayoob said.

To combat the high obesity rate among nurses, Kihye Han , the author of the study , proposed

more education on good sleep habits, and better strategies for adapting word schedules. She also

work

relive
