BMI, body mass index.

a

Physical Activity was measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form (IPAQ - SF).

b

Race was coded as .00 = Non - white, 1 = White.

c

Compassion Satisfaction was defined as the amount of pleasure/enjoyment one derives from one’s job and was assessed using the Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQol) Version 5.

d

Servings per day of fruits and vegetables were calculated using the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) Multifactor Screener.

e

Marital Status was coded as .00 = Non-Married and 1 = Married/partnered.

f

Sedentariness was defined as sitting for three or more hours/day and was assessed using the IPAQ-SF.

g

Job Type was dichotomized and coded as .00 = non-Direct Care RNs. (administration, management, research, education, and advanced practice) 1 = Direct Care RNs.

h

Long work hours was coded 0 = shifts < 12 hours and 1 = shifts ≥ 12 hours.

p ≤ 0.05;
