Is there prejudice against obese persons among health professionals? A sample of student nurses and registered nurses.
Perspectives in Psychiatric Care 2019 January 31
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to assess whether there is prejudice toward obese persons among student nurses and registered nurses.
DESIGN AND METHOD: A total of 379 participants were included (190 student nurses, 189 registered nurses). The Fat Phobia Scale and Belief About Obese Persons Scale were used to determine the prejudice.
FINDINGS: Registered nurses were found to have more negative prejudices toward obese persons than those of student nurses. These prejudices were determined to be influenced by the nurses' body mass index and having an obese person in the family.
PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Both groups had negative prejudices toward obese persons, there was a higher level of prejudice among the registered nurses. These prejudices can have a negative impact on healthcare practices.
