Unhealthy eating and physical activity behaviours are common among nurses. As nurses spend a substantial proportion of their waking hours at work, interest in delivering interventions in the workplace to improve this populations' eating and physical activity behaviours is growing. This programme of research aimed to systematically develop evidence-based and theory-informed recommendations for a workplace intervention to change nurses' eating and physical activity behaviours. Methods: A systematic literature review of published randomised controlled trials was undertaken. Factors that behavioural theories suggest may influence nurses' eating and physical activity behaviours were identified through theoretical domains framework-informed qualitative interviews and a survey of nurses. Intervention recommendations were specified in terms of (i) intervention functions and policy categories using a Behaviour Change Wheel and (ii) theory-informed behaviour change techniques using a behaviour change technique taxonomy. Evidence related to the parameters of effectiveness for each technique was also taken into account during this intervention specification process. The selected techniques were then combined into a conceptual overview of a potential workplace intervention. Results: Data from 13 randomised controlled trials indicate workplace-based behaviour change interventions targeted to this population are effective in decreasing body weight. The evidence base is, however, limited in quantity and quality. Nurses' beliefs about important determinants of eating and physical activity behaviour change were identifed across 16 qualitative interviews and 245 survey responses and key determinants included: environmental context and resources; behavioural regulation; emotion; beliefs about consequences; knowledge and optimism. Based on this behavioural diagnosis, 24 behaviour change techniques suitable for targeting the identified determinants were chosen and combined into a potential workplace intervention. Conclusions: This thesis illustrates the utility of the Theoretical Domains Framework, the Behaviour Change Wheel and the behaviour change technique taxonomy for developing workplace intervention recommendations. The proposed recommendations address a gap in the current evidence base. Such an intervention, if implemented, has the potential to improve nurses' eating and physical activity behaviours and in turn, the health of nurses and the quality of healthcare delivery.

nÃo hà / A AvaliaÃÃo Multidimensional RÃpida da Pessoa Idosa (AMRPI) à um instrumento que pode ser utilizado para identificar problemas de saÃde condicionantes de declÃnio funcional em pessoas idosas. Indica, quando necessÃrio, a utilizaÃÃo de outros instrumentos mais complexos: cartÃo de Jaeger; Escala de AvaliaÃÃo de Medida de IndependÃncia Funcional; Escala de Katz; Escala de Lawton; APGAR; Escala de DepressÃo GeriÃtrica; ECOMAPA; Mini exame do estado mental; e Escala de AvaliaÃÃo do EquilÃbrio e da Marcha de Tinneti. Este estudo objetivou avaliar a aplicabilidade do instrumento AvaliaÃÃo multidimensional rÃpida da pessoa idosa, na consulta de Enfermagem no contexto da EstratÃgia SaÃde da FamÃlia; e como objetivos especÃficos, verificar a concordÃncia dos especialistas acerca da aplicabilidade do instrumento AMPI na atenÃÃo bÃsica e considerar os aspectos do instrumento que foram consensuais entre os especialistas para propor as adequaÃÃes necessÃrias. Pesquisa metodolÃgica do tipo intencional. A populaÃÃo do estudo constituiu-se de enfermeiros, experts ou especialistas, do Brasil que possuÃsse conhecimento na Ãrea da saÃde do idoso com no mÃnimo cinco anos de experiÃncia. A coleta de dados foi realizada de fevereiro a abril de 2012, via correio eletrÃnico, utilizando o mÃtodo "Delphi" com duas rodadas. Para avaliaÃÃo do instrumento, foram utilizados os critÃrios da psicometria propostos por Pasquali (1999): comportamental, simplicidade, clareza e relevÃncia atribuido uma nota (-1,0 e +1). A concordÃncia esperada foi de 80%. Os dados foram agrupados e analisados estatisticamente, por meio do programa Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, versÃo 18.0, e software Excel. A pesquisa foi aprovada pelo Comità de Ãtica em Pesquisa da Universidade Federal do CearÃ, conforme protocolo n.302/11. Os participantes foram do sexo feminino e a mÃdia de idade de 45 anos. Atuava na regiÃo Nordeste (36,3%), seguidas da regiÃo Sudeste (22,7%). Quanto à Ãrea de especialidade, 72,7% tinham formaÃÃo em gerantologia. Referente à titulaÃÃo mÃxima, 54,5 % concluÃram doutorado e 36,3% mestrado; com tempo de atuaÃÃo na Ãrea de 5 a 15 anos (50%) e mais de 16 anos (49,9 %), com mÃdia do tempo de 21,13 anos. Na Ãrea de atuaÃÃo profissional, atuavam no ensino (45,4%) e na assistÃncia na EstratÃgia SaÃde da FamÃlia (36,3%). Na primeira rodada, com exceÃÃo do item atividade sexual, todos alcanÃaram concordÃncia, com proporÃÃes estatisticamente significativas. Na segunda rodada, apÃs revisÃo do item âatividade sexualâ, obteve-se concordÃncia estatisticamente significativa. Conforme os resultados apresentados, o instrumento AvaliaÃÃo multidimensional rÃpida da pessoa idosa constitui ferramenta importante na consulta de Enfermagem no contexto da EstratÃgia SaÃde da FamÃlia, na busca pelo envelhecimento ativo.
