Abstract

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a condition with interconnected abnormalities of the metabolic system that has been labelled by the World Health Organization as a main cause of death worldwide. Risk factors for MetS include occupational stress, disturbances to circadian rhythms, sleep disorders and changed eating habits, which are all associated with shift work. As shift work and occupational stress are common in perioperative nursing, the risk of developing MetS is increased for perioperative nurses. This discussion paper aims to bring an awareness and understanding of MetS to perioperative nurses and identifies the occupational risks in the perioperative environment that may lead to its development. It also presents some possible strategies to mitigate the risk factors or prevent this condition for perioperative nurses in the future.

预防胜于治疗:了解代谢综合征及围手术期护士的职业风险
代谢综合征(MetS)是一种具有相互关联的代谢系统异常的疾病,已被世界卫生组织列为全球死亡的主要原因。MetS的风险因素包括职业压力、昼夜节律紊乱、睡眠障碍和饮食习惯改变,这些都与轮班工作有关。由于轮班工作和职业压力在围手术期护理中很常见,围手术期护士患代谢综合征的风险增加。本文旨在提高围手术期护士对MetS的认识和理解,并确定围手术期环境中可能导致其发展的职业风险。它还为围手术期护士提出了一些可能的策略来减轻风险因素或预防这种情况。
