Relevance: The working conditions of modern medical workers often lead to dis-ruptions in nutrition, which in the future can cause gastrointestinal disorders. According to statistics, 65% of medical workers work around the clock and do not have the opportunity to eat on schedule. Disruptions in nutrition and its ra-tionality affect metabolism, lower immunity, and lead to digestive system diseas-es.
Objective: To evaluate the nutrition specifics of medical workers in the conditions of hybrid warfare and the risks of gastrointestinal diseases.
Materials and methods: 745 medical workers from various state and private med-ical institutions were surveyed using an online questionnaire. The online survey consisted of the following sections: "General information about the respondent," "Features of food consumption during lunch break," "Questions and clarifica-tions.»
Results: It was found that only 10% of doctors have the opportunity to have a full lunch, 48% have an incomplete meal, 13% skip lunch, and 29% eat irregular-ly during lunch breaks. In terms of the duration of the lunch break, 56% spend up to 15 minutes for lunch, 42% - 16-30 minutes, 2% - 31-60 minutes. It was es-tablished that 63% have lunch at their workplace, 21% in the dining room for medical staff, 2% in the institution's cafeteria, 1% outside the hospital, and 3% at home.
Conclusion: Despite the fact that some medical staff in the survey demonstrated significant self-awareness regarding their readiness to adhere to a full-fledged di-et, the tendency to develop gastrointestinal diseases remains high. In this regard, it is important for healthcare workers to ensure they have a balanced and regular diet that includes sufficient amounts of protein, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. It is also important to maintain a proper eating schedule and avoid overeating or skipping meals.
Furthermore, it is recommended to pay attention to the quality of food and avoid highly fatty, salty, sweet, and fried foods that can negatively impact health. It is also important to consume adequate amounts of water and avoid excessive con-sumption of coffee and other stimulants.
Overall, proper nutrition for healthcare workers is an important factor in main-taining their health and improving the quality of medical care they provide.
