Amaç: Sağlık çalışanlarında iş performansı, hasta güvenliği ve sağlık hizmetlerinin genel verimliliği açısından hayati öneme sahiptir. Sağlık çalışanlarında beslenme alışkanlıklarının ve yaşam kalitesinin iş performansı üzerindeki etkisini araştıran çalışmalar sınırlıdır. Bu çalışmada, orta yaşlı sağlık çalışanlarında sağlıklı beslenme alışkanlıklarının, diyetin ve yaşam kalitesi faktörlerinin iş performansı üzerindeki etkisi değerlendirilmiştir.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya toplam 333 sağlık çalışanı katılmıştır. Veriler, 24 saatlik besin tüketim kaydı, Sağlıklı Beslenme Göstergesi (HDI-2020), Sağlıklı Beslenme İlişkin Tutum Ölçeği (SBİTÖ), 36 maddelik Kısa Form Sağlık Anketi (SF-36) ve İş Performansı Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Tüm anketler yüz yüze görüşmelerle uygulanmıştır.
Bulgular: Ortalama iş performansı puanı 4.27±0.72 bulunmuş, kadın ve erkek katılımcıların puanları arasında anlamlı bir fark gözlenmemiştir. Ancak, erkek sağlık çalışanlarının fiziksel sağlık puanı kadınlara göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Zihinsel sağlık puanlarında cinsiyetler arasında anlamlı fark saptanmamıştır. Kadınlarda iş performansı ile HDI-2020, ASHN, fiziksel sağlık ve zihinsel sağlık arasında pozitif korelasyon tespit edilmiştir. Lojistik regresyon analizine göre, iş performansını etkileyen faktörler arasında eğitim düzeyi, meslek, SBİTÖ ve lif tüketimi yer almaktadır.
Sonuç: Bu çalışma, diyet lifi, sağlıklı beslenme kalitesi ve yeme alışkanlıklarının iş performansı üzerindeki olumlu etkisini ortaya koyan ilk çalışmadır. Bulgular, sağlık çalışanlarının iş performansını artırmak amacıyla yeterli lif içeren sağlıklı beslenme alışkanlıklarının teşvik edilmesinin önemini vurgulamaktadır.

EFFECTS OF HEALTHY EATING HABITS AND DIET QUALITY ON QUALITY OF LIFE AND JOB PERFORMANCE IN MIDDLE-AGED (45-65) HEALTHCARE WORKERS

Öz

Objective: Job performance (JP) among healthcare workers is vital for patient safety and the overall efficiency of healthcare services. Research exploring how dietary habits and quality of life influence JP in healthcare workers remains limited. This study aimed to assess the impact of healthy eating habits, diet, and quality of life factors on JP in middle-aged healthcare workers.
Material and Methods: A total of 333 healthcare workers took part in the study. The study utilised 24-hour recall method (24hDR), the Healthy Diet Indicator (HDI-2020), the Attitude Scale for Healthy Nutrition (ASHN), the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), and the Job Performance Scale (JPS). All surveys were conducted through face-to-face interviews.
Results: The average JP score was 4.27±0.72 and no significant difference was observed between the JP scores of men and female participants. However, male healthcare workers had higher mean physical health scores (SF-36-PCSc) than female participants. There was no significant difference in the mean mental health scores (SF-36-MCSc) between genders. In women, positive correlations were found between JP and HDI-2020, ASHN, and the physical (SF-36-PCSc) and MCSc from SF-36. Logistic regression analysis revealed that factors influencing JP included education level, occupation, ASHN, and fibre consumption.
Conclusion: This study is the first to demonstrate the positive impact of dietary fibre, healthy diet quality, and eating habits on JP. These findings highlight the importance of promoting healthy eating habits that include a sufficient fibre diet to enhance JP in healthcare workers.
