摘　　要：Objective:The present study aimed to address the care of psychiatric patients and its impact on nurses’behavior in Saudi Arabia.Methods:A cross-sectional quantitative questionnaire-based study was conducted.This study was carried out in various government hospitals across different regions of Saudi Arabia.Results:A total of 73 nurses participated in the study,with male nurses comprising the majority(61.6%)compared to females.Being a young nurse or with few years of work experience is linked with more predilection towards preventive behaviour and/or physical activity.A significant mean difference was observed,indicating higher scores for preventive behavior among females(female 14.93±5.82 vs.male 11.56±5.48,P=0.015).The Bonferroni post hoc multiple comparisons did not reveal any statistical significance for single vs.married(P=0.618),single vs.divorced(P=0.223),and married vs.divorced(P=0.020).Conclusion:The study results demonstrated a significant impact of caring for psychiatric patients on nurses’behavior.This is concerning because psychological and mental health strain has been shown to contribute to unhealthy lifestyle habits,such as physical inactivity and sleep deprivation,which,in turn,can contribute to the increasing incidence and prevalence of chronic diseases.Healthcare interventions targeting psychiatric and mental health nurses should be designed and examined to emphasize the importance of healthy lifestyle choices and an active lifestyle.
