ABSTRACT
Objective To learn Chinese and English nurses' knowledge of,attitude to,and experience of physical activity(PA) and associated health promotion(HP).Methods Content analysis method was used to analyze the open-ended questions in a questionnaire survey of Chinese and English nurses about physical activity and associated health promotion.Results Nurses from both countries felt the heavy workload of nursing work was an important barrier for their personal PA,and they all appealed the institution should provide PA facilities or easy access to gym or other sport center.UK nurses demonstrated comprehensive understanding of PA and PA HP,and reported positive attitude toward their own role model in PA HP.Chinese nurses concerned more about their own PA than their PA HP,and they were lack of motivation to participate in PA.Conclusions Education to nurses for physical activity and health promotion should be encouraged.Implications for future research about nurses' occupational physical activity are noted.
