SPSS 21 and Excel 2016 were used for all statistical analyses.
Of the 500 nurses who responded to the questionnaire, variation in weight status was present in 66% of nurses. Consumption of different food groups decreased during these crises, including meat (42.8%), fruit (30.8%), vegetables (21%), and milk and dairy products (30.4%). There was a significant correlation between stress and deterioration in the consumption of healthy foods, particularly meat (p<0.000), fruits (p=0.032) and vegetables (p=0.041). Similarly, it is shown that the decrease in monthly income has a real impact on the consumption of meat (p<000), fruits (p=0.001) and milk and dairy products (p=0.031).
The results showed that the pandemic and especially the economic crisis changed the consumption of healthy food by hospital nurses in Lebanon, which may have a significant impact on their health.
