Abstract

With chronic diseases increasingly prevalent in the United States (U.S.), healthcare providers are in a unique position to promote healthy living behaviors, such as physical activity (PA) and nutrition, to patients. However, many healthcare providers struggle with maintaining their own health, which negatively affects their ability to counsel patients effectively on these behaviors. This paper highlights the barriers healthcare providers face in adopting and promoting healthy behaviors, including individual habits, lack of training, and environmental factors within healthcare institutions. It also examines how these barriers, such as insufficient educational opportunities, inadequate work environments, and systemic obstacles like time constraints and reimbursement issues, hinder effective PA and nutritional counseling. The authors propose that improving the health of healthcare providers will enhance the quality of counseling they provide, ultimately benefiting patient care and population health.

医疗保健领域的健康促进文化:空杯不能倒水。
随着慢性病在美国日益流行,医疗保健提供者在向患者推广健康生活行为(如体育锻炼和营养)方面具有独特的优势。然而,许多医疗服务提供者在维护自身健康方面却举步维艰,这对他们有效指导患者这些行为的能力产生了负面影响。本文强调了医疗服务提供者在采纳和推广健康行为时面临的障碍,包括个人习惯、缺乏培训以及医疗机构内的环境因素。本文还探讨了这些障碍(如教育机会不足、工作环境不佳以及时间限制和报销问题等系统性障碍)是如何阻碍有效的 PA 和营养咨询的。作者建议,改善医疗保健提供者的健康状况将提高他们提供的咨询服务的质量,最终有利于患者护理和人口健康。
