Sociodemographic and occupational predictors of health behaviors among nurses: a cross-sectional study in Poland.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundNurses play a crucial role in health promotion, yet their own health behaviors may not always align with their professional knowledge. Understanding the factors influencing nurses' health behaviors is essential for designing effective interventions to support their well-being and professional effectiveness.
objectivesThis study aimed to assess the level of health behaviors among actively employed nurses in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship and identify key determinants influencing these behaviors.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted between July and December 2023 among 519 nurses working in various healthcare settings. Data were collected using a proprietary sociodemographic questionnaire and the Health Behavior Inventory. Results were analyzed using univariable and multivariable statistical methods.
resultsThe overall level of health behaviors among the nurses was moderate, with significantly lower scores in health practices compared to other domains. Gender emerged as a key determinant, with male nurses exhibiting worse health behaviors in proper eating habits, preventive behaviors, and health practices (p < 0.01, p < 0.05, p < 0.001, respectively). Nurses with longer work experience demonstrated better dietary habits (p < 0.05). Workplace setting influenced positive mental attitude, with nurses in outpatient clinics, sanatoriums, and childcare centers scoring higher than those in long-term care facilities (p < 0.05).
conclusionsThe findings highlight the need for tailored health promotion programs, particularly for male nurses and those in long-term care settings. Implementing structured education, psychological support, and workplace wellness initiatives could enhance nurses' health behaviors and overall well-being. Addressing these factors is crucial, given the increasing number of male nurses and the demanding nature of long-term care work. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
