 Amaç: Bu çalışmada yoğun bakım çalışanlarında aşırı kiloluluk ve obezite sıklığına etki eden iş ile ilişkili faktörlerin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Method: Kesitsel tipteki bu çalışma, 01.09.2022 ile 01.11.2022 tarihleri arasında bir eğitim ve araştırma hastanesindeki yoğun bakım ünitelerinde çalışan sağlık çalışanlarında gerçekleştirildi. Araştırmada kişisel bilgi formu, uluslararası fiziksel aktivite anketi UAFAA kısa kullanılmış ve katılımcıların beyan ettikleri boy ve vücut ağırlıkları kaydedilmiştir. Bulgular: Katılımcıların 29,0u n60 aşırı kilolu, 13,0ü n27 obezdir. İleri yaş, erkek cinsiyet, medeni durum, aile öyküsünde obezite varlığı, sigara kullanmak, iş yerinde stres ve baskıya maruz kalmak, fiziksel aktivite azlığı, günde 3,5 saatten fazla oturarak çalışmak, ayda 9.5 günden fazla vardiyalı çalışmak, fastfood tüketimi ve obezite hakkında eğitim almış olmak aşırı kiloluluk ve obezite ile ilişkili bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Çalışanları aşırı kiloluluk ve obezite ile ilişkilendirilmiş risklere karşı korumak çalışan sağlığını ve çalışandan alınan hizmetin kalitesini artıracaktır. Bu durum sağlık maliyetlerini azaltarak hem çalışan hem de ülke ekonomisi için kayıpların azalmasını sağlayacaktır.
