Nursing, Stress, Blood Pressure, Body Mass Index.Abstract
The study aimed to identify the impact of stress on nurses and its effect on usage and HbA1c. The samples of our study were obtained from nurses at the Al-Zawiya Educational Centre and the combined clinic (Library Aresai). Blood pressure, weight, and height measures were taken for taking a sample & body mass index (BMI) = weight(kg)/Ht. We observed a working hours nm (7.75 hours/day) for nurses’ tube. We revealed the ties between stress (mean work hours on average within 7.75 hours/day) and average body mass were (28.08). There was a negative relation at Pearson’s correlation (-0.196) and P> 0.22, suggesting no association (B), longer working hours are associated with a lower body mass index.
