Abstract
Objective
The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of healthcare professionals engaging in insufficient levels of physical activity (PA) and to identify sociodemographic, professional and health characteristics associated with insufficient PA levels.
Methods
We conducted a nationwide online cross-sectional study targeting healthcare professionals in France from May 2021 to June 2021. Participant recruitment involved outreach through social networks, professional networks, and email invitations. PA levels were assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), with insufficient PA defined as weekly PA totaling less than 600 mets/week.
Results
The study included a total of 10,325 participants, of whom 3939 (38.1%, 95% confidence interval 37.1–39.0%) exhibited insufficient levels of PA. In the multivariable analysis, we identified factors associated with insufficient PA: ages between 35–44 (aOR=1.58, 95%CI [1.21–2.06], p=.001) and 45–54 years (aOR=1.40, 95%CI [1.07–1.83], p =.015), gender (female aOR=1.47, 95%CI [1.12–1.44], p<.001), and professions including health executive (aOR=1.27, 95%CI [1.32–1.64], p<.001), nurse assistant (aOR=1.25, 95%CI [1.07–1.47], p=.006), and physician (aOR=1.18, 95%CI [1.03–1.34], p=.015). Additionally, burnout (aOR=1.32, 95%CI [1.21–1.44], p<.001), tobacco use (aOR=1.33, 95%CI [1.20–1.58], p<.001), being overweight (aOR=1.39, 95%CI [1.28–1.52], p<.001), major depression (aOR=1.44, 95%CI [1.20–1.47], p<.001), and sleep disorders (aOR=1.14, 95%CI [1.05–1.25], p=.002) were associated with insufficient PA. Work night shifts was associated with sufficient PA.
Conclusion
Our study has revealed a substantial prevalence of healthcare professionals with insufficient PA levels. This prevalence, coupled with various associated health-damaging behaviors and mental health issues, underscores the importance of acknowledging the barriers they encounter in adopting a physically active lifestyle.
