Sažetak
Introduction:Physical activity shows many health benefits: reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, control of high blood pressure, reduced risk of obesity, reduced risk of type II diabetes, reduced risk of malignancy, reduced risk of malignancy, strengthening of skeletal muscle.
Objective: to examine the range of physical activity among nurses in the workplace and their habits regarding physical activity during their free time.
Methods: The study included 107 nurses employed at the Požega General County Hospital. The study was conducted via questionnaire consisting of sociodemographic variables (sex, age, education, martial status, residence) and modified version of Baeck's physical activity questionnaire.
Results: It turned out that the majority of participants did not engage in any physical activity (78.52%), p = 0.656. Gender differences were found in physical activity, showing that respondents were more likely to play sports than respondents (P <0.001). There is a difference with respect to sweating while performing physical activities with respect to the age groups of subjects between 20 and 30 years and the group of subjects more than 50 years (p = 0.012) and the group of subjects aged 31 to 40 and the group of subjects in the age group with more than 50 years (p = 0.002). Differences were also seen between the groups of subjects aged 41 to 50 and over 50 (p = 0.033).
It was statistically confirmed that significantly more respondents with a university degree are involved in sports, unlike those with secondary education, where a significantly smaller number of respondents claimed to be involved in sports (p = 0.032).
Conclusion: The study showed that physical activity of nurses in general is subpar. Most of the subjects do not engage in any physical activity.
