Abstract
Purpose: To examine the effects of the nurses' perceived stress and life satisfaction on their emotional eating behaviors.
Design and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among a random sample of 297 nurses in a research hospital.
Findings: There is a negative correlation between nurses' emotional eating and life satisfaction (β = -0.192, p < 0.001), and a positive correlation between emotional eating and perceived stress (β = 0.392, p < 0.001). Perceived stress, life satisfaction, and marital status constituted 24% of the factors affecting emotional eating behaviors.
Practice implications: Psychiatric nurses would benefit from developing effective training programs that support nurses in making healthy lifestyle choices.
