Predictors of nutritional health risks among midwives in the context of midwifery work
Night shift work alone was not a significant factor in the model. Work experience and workload intensity are key predictors of nutrition-related health risks among midwives. These findings highlight the need for workplace-level policies that address long-term workload burden-such as schedule optimization, limits on prolonged night-shift exposure, and improved access to psychological and nutritional support. Future research should further examine modifiable organizational factors and evaluate targeted interventions aimed at reducing nutrition-related risks in midwifery settings.
